I watched Latvian final with my 6 year old daughter and when she listened to Dons performance she got goosebumps and tears in her eyes, not even understanding the words. I wish I would film it as it showed that his voice and emotions could get even through kid's heart who does not have any life experience yet and understanding of anything that the song was about. Fingers crossed this incredible vocal and song is appreciated in Europe and he takes the win back home!
It is normal. My favorite song at age 6 was Madonna-Frozen. 😅 Children feel and understand everything, even if they can't talk about emotions like adults do.
What a beautiful story! And a very good sign for Dons
When he sang the last part of the song in latvian language during Supernova, it felt so intense and emotional. It was like the cherry on the cake. I hope he keeps this version for Eurovision.
A beautiful moment.
From day 1 it was my favorite so I’m so happy that he won. Latvia 🇱🇻 can be finally in the finals after 6 years
We need this to happen! 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
Probably a stale interview for some but for me he's an incredibly insightful man to listen to, I love the song as well and will vote for him from Denmark!
I loved his thoughtfulness too!
As Filipino fan I love the song lets Latvia get into the FINALS. Dons such a great artist from latvia ❤ support support, Latvia must be proud ❤❤❤
He's entrenched in his own thoughts. I think people should think more before they speak like he does.
He's so thoughtful, right? It all feels so REAL with him.
Can't wait! LOVE from Latvia! Aiziet Dons!
I love tis song. This song seems to be sung about me. And I feel so sad and heavy at heart. So cool it brings me to tears. Favorite song of this year. And the voice is generally something incredible, giving me goosebumps.❤😊
What a powerful reaction. It's great when a song touches you this way. ❤
The message is beautiful. My favorite this year 🇱🇻 ❤
🇱🇻❤🇱🇹
❤❤❤
Wow ❤ such great song, Paldies, braliukas! 🇱🇻❤🇱🇹
one of the best interviews ever. and it can be called a conversation between two close friends. and that is the art of speaking freely. it would be nice to hear your thoughts on this interview in one of the blogs.. ❤
Dons! You are incredible ❤️ I’m so excited to vote for you! Your song means so much to me. Sending you happiness
Great interview William! 12 POINTS FROM NEW ZEALAND!
I’m sooo hyped about this entry and Dons and so invested in his chances!!
Dons if you see this, I think we really need the characters in the music video, wearing the same clothes. It conveys the message very well and makes it much more than a strong ballad. It gives narrative.
I agree, it helps with the narrative on stage! Dons has a chess set behind him, so he knows about strategy 👀
I can listen to him talk all day, he's such a thinker! I'm glad you sat down with him and please do it again before Malmo. I hope his song does well, it's so genuine just like himself
Mentally strong song
He is such a real and down earth person😍
As a latvian i'm looking forward to the new staging, and how he will convey the song into it
Love the Latvian version also. Maybe have both languages on the ESC version on stage
At the very end of Supernova show as winner's performance he does sing the song in English with the last chorus in Latvian (as mentioned around 14:00)
Every year I look up this RUclips channel. Best reviews, best interviews, and over all amazing content. ❤
Eurovision winner ❤
Lets goooooo LATVIA, love this song.
So wholesome!❤

Let's do thiiiis 🇱🇻
Love from Latvia 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
I like how he kinda avoided answering the question about adding in the Latvian verse to Hollow. Other questions he answered with a yes or no, but here he just said one is English and one is Latvian. I think if many of the other songs in the SF are in their native languages, his intuition and instincts will guide him when it's time to read the room. Keeping his cards close to his chest on that question, as they say in poker 👀
Should be noted at the end of Supernova he does sing a version of the song in English with just the last chorus in Latvian (as mentioned around 14:00)
Thank you so much❤
❤❤❤Love from London
I love this kind of songs, like Andrea from North Macedonia and Circles
❤🇱🇻🎤
Wishing Dons best luck, we are waiting for a verse in Latvian or smth🙃😉
Watch the ending of Supernova finals, he actually does sing the last chorus in Latvian (at the very end of show) (as mentioned around 14:00)
@@DeathLV123 have they posted it because I can't find it
Not sure why my original reply was deleted, but yes, in replay lsm they have. Not on their youtube though@@greygust3936
@@greygust3936 search for Supernova 2024, the entire show. He sings at the very end as a winner already, but actually it is not an entire chorus in Latvian as I thought, just a couple of lines.
@@DeathLV123 found it. But maybe for Eurovision he will singer bigger chunk of songs in Latvian, cuz that was only last couple of lines :)
❤❤❤🇱🇻
Precise translation for the last line from Latvian 🇱🇻:
1. Es sagrauts, bet dzīvs
2. Varbūt šķiet, ka es te nespēkā sūdzos
3. Neko vairāk, tikai laiku es lūdzos, lūdzos...
1. I'm broken, but alive
2. Maybe it seems that I am complaining in my weakness here
3. Nothing more, just for (more) time I pray, I pray...
❤

This is one year where neighbor voting can't be blamed, braliukas
Cat song from Latvia was the best, Dons song is depressing and boring
Where you one of those cake to bake supporters?
nothing in common with cake to bake @@bumblebee-dd2je
