I have such a fond memory of watching the 2005 Eurovision with my little sister who is deaf. Her reaction when they started signing was pure gold! She sat with her mouth wide open, then turned to look at me and smiled! Thank you guys for making the 2005 Eurovision a special one for my sister and a memorable one for me. RIP Valters.
It's March, 2022. I've had this song in my playlist for many years and have heard it hundreds of times. But today for the first time I can remember there were tears. For Mārtiņš (author of this song), for Walter and for Ukraine. And how fitting that this was recorded in Kyiv. Stay strong Ukraine. Lots of love from Latvia 🇱🇻❤️🇺🇦
No one expected them to have such success. Complete surprise when it started to rain down all those “12 points goas to Latvia” This took place soon after US invaded Iraq despite massive protests. The message of the song resonated with people at that time.
Listening to this song is one of my favorite childhood memories. It's still one of my favorite songs ever. First Martins Freimanis died and now Valters... It's just really sad. Latvia you have some amazing musicians that you should be proud of
I’m from Latvia and really proud of our music and people who make it! ♥️This song gives me goosebumps, It’s one of my favourites too. I often just start to sing it. Always lives in my head☺️
@@kristydoesmusic1023 Your response reminded me to come back and listen to this song many times again :) Yes your country is very talented I should look for more Latvian music
This was my first Eurovision ever to watch and probably the best one. This song was definitely the most beautiful one, my mom used to sing it all the time 😢🙏!! Funny I haven’t heard it in years and I just thought of it outta nowhere while driving from Miami to Key West at 1am lol
My wife had the pleasure of meeting him in 2005 when she visited Latvia. She said he was an angel to work with. Its a heartbreaking loss, far too early. Rest in peace dear Valters!
I'm just crying watching this video, remembering Walter, a sweet young person with a great future as a singer..and he passed away with just 30 years old..Hope souls in heaven are enjoying of his music ❤
In my country there was a mass shooting in a primary school, we are so sad and heart broken. This song reminds me on innocent victims and on all this tragedy. I am from Serbia and I love this song so much. 😢💔
It's so sad to realise that the author of this song and one who sing it bouth not in this world anymore...... Brokers my heart to listen this song......
Remember watching and listening that precious boy's performance back in the day. So sweet and charming, so full of life. Presenting us an honest magic. Never would've thought that life will end so tragically. Rest in peace beautiful boy. I for sure will never forget you. Valters Frīdenbergs (26.10.1987. - 17.10.2018.)
This is still my favourite ever eurovison song of all time.... they should have won imho robbed so genuine so beautiful and adding sign just tops it off ❤❤❤❤❤
Both songwriter and singer may you rest in peace. One of the biggest climber songs in all the semifinal era. Qualified as tenth in semi and reached 5th!
Es atceros to pusfinālu. Toreiz vēl dzīvoju kojās. Un vienīgā vieta, kur darbojās televizors bija puišu stāvā un meitenes tur nedrikstēja iet. Es un vēl pāris meitenes izlūdzāmies, lai ļauj mums iet skatīties Eirovīziju. Tikai mums jāapsola, ka uzvedīsimies klusu kā pelītes. Viss tā arī bija, līdz brīdim, kad tika paziņoti rezultātu. Mēs jau bijām atmetuši cerības, ka puiši tiks tālāk, jo palikusi pēdējā vieta lielajā finālā, bet te, kā pēdējo paziņo, ka Latvija tiek tālāk. Prieka kliedzieni un aplausi. Paldies Dievam, komendante bija saprotoša un nerāja mūs.
It took me till yesterday to appreciate this masterpiece. I just got the 2005 Eurovision Cd in the mail yesterday and been using it like crazy since. This one is just so relaxing and easy to put in the background. Just that "I'm so sorry I'm so helpless" part is straight shivers. Rip Walter, you'll be missed
Been trying to think of the name of this for over a week. Very sad to see the comments below that one of the boys passed on. RIP Valters. I will always love this song.
You were amazing. I still remember you after all these years. It took my heart at the first your performance. It was great job braliukai! A lot of love from Lithuania ❤
Rest both in peace; song author Mārtiņš Freimanis (1977-2011, not in video), and Valters Frīdenbergs (1988-2018). Valters was just 17 when he represented Latvia. :'( ' ' ' '
Still my favorite song from Eurovision 2005. It was the best Eurovision in my humble opinion, I was only 7 year old, I remember almost every song, but this one is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL.
It's so sad Valters is gone. I decided to look them up because I used to love their songs so much. I was not expecting to learn Valters passed away. It's just so unfair.I still have that CD they released in 2005. I used to listen to it constantly. Rest in peace, Valters.
This should've been in the top 3. The lines _"And I'm so sorry I'm so helpless in this angry world, if only I could change it for one day"_ get me every time. 😢 Also, this music genre needs to be heard more often at Eurovision too. Latvia and Ukraine were the only songs with a message in the whole 2005's contest.
извините, я по-русски отвечу. Wolters 87 года. Мой сын 87 года. И я плачу ,когда вижу это видио. Мое любимое выступление на евровидение...Можете меня закидывать тапками. Но я и сейчас плачу... \

Ahaha. Didn't age well. RIP Ukraine
R.I.P Walter, this song will always be alive inside us!
R.I.P Walter. You'll stay always in our hearts, braliukas! ❤
This song would be so good now in 2024

Rest in Peace Walter 💔
2:13 I apreciate the sign language
This song is one of the most beautiful songs from Eurovision
R.I.P. Valters Frīdenbergs, a beautiful soul
The sad thing is that Valters right now needs all our support to fight the cancer! Please send him positive thoughts so he can win it over!
kir250305 I was shook to find that out today. I will keep him in my mind.
And the composer of the song died of cancer in 2011 as well..
Well okay. But still he died
AlexManU Is Walters dead? That's harch.
No Walters is still alive and fights the cancer!
This is still my favourite ever eurovison song of all time.... they should have won imho robbed so genuine so beautiful and adding sign just tops it off ❤❤❤❤❤
Rip Walters 😩💔
RIP Valters.
Both songwriter and singer may you rest in peace.
One of the biggest climber songs in all the semifinal era. Qualified as tenth in semi and reached 5th!
This song is just so beautiful🥰
I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics back then, but I've just realised how meaningful they are. Nice song!
Rest in peace Valters.. You will always be remembered. :(
Very sad but an incredible person
RIP Mārtiņš Freimanis (composer 2005, singer 2003) & Valters Frīdenbergs (singer 2005). Very very sad.
Such a sweet and lovely song 💙💙💙💙 and this performance is just awesome 💙💙💙 so simple but so great.
My winner of 2005 ;) Simply Masterpiece 💖
Mine as well
Probably only our common winner
Im torn up by hearing one of these sweethearts is no longer with us... one of the sweetests songs ever
R.I.P Valters, sad day for Eurovision community 😞 30 is too early age to die 😞
I couldn't agree more. I'm almost 24 and i can't imagine dying at age 30 or 40! that's just a start of life!
He died I didn't know so sad
They look like my friends from school when I was growing up
And yet again, this is a song we need to sing again. I don't wanna believe ♫♪ in the stories they all tell, that we need those winners and losers.
My favourite song that year and one of my all-time favourites. RIP Valters and thank you for the joy you gave.
Mine too 😢
Probably my favourite song of Latvia in eurovision :)
R.I.P. Valters...
My deepest condolences go to Valters' family and friends. It's really sad that he died so young
love this song from Latvian I wish we have world peace
Ty Marshall hope for this too

RIP Valters
R.I.P Valters ((( We will always love you great man thanks for everything (((
Their voices ... So soft, pure. For the love of God... 🙏🖤
This was an impressive result. Considering they came in 10th in the semi final. 5th in the grand final.
Sad that Valters is dead
@@miksgabrielsgabranovs4917 I know and it’s really sad.
I remember I watched this Eurovision. I wanted them to win even if I'm not Latvian. I'm Russian. I can't believe Valters passed away at 30
my favourite song in the history. thank from BARCELONA
Still my favorite song from Eurovision 2005. It was the best Eurovision in my humble opinion, I was only 7 year old, I remember almost every song, but this one is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL.
So sad about Valters. He is forever young in this video x
you almost made me cry
My favourite song in 2005 :)
It's so sad Valters is gone. I decided to look them up because I used to love their songs so much. I was not expecting to learn Valters passed away. It's just so unfair.I still have that CD they released in 2005. I used to listen to it constantly. Rest in peace, Valters.
Very good song ❤from🇬🇷 Greece 2023 may 😊😊😊😊😊😊telio tragoudara
0:50 that guy died from cancer at age 30 sadly
9 days before he's 31 birthday...
it's so sad. :( and the song is beautiful - that Backstreet Boys feeling. i like that type of music. soft and sweet. R.I.P.
This song deserves definitely a better place than #5 - but yes, like the words in this song "that someone's the loser, someone's the winner" :(
2017 is outside and i still singing this song in my head when walking somwhere) great song!
RIP Valters😭
r.i.p. valters... this was a beautiful song :(
They knew
My winner of 2005! So sad RIP Valters
Rest in peace
A masterpiece
Sad that Walters is gone.. Rest in peace. :(
RIP Walters :(
RIP Valters!
Sad to see that both the composer of the song Martins Freimanis as well as Walter have both passed away so young
Spot on cheography.
Rip Walter. Thanks for this song.
RIP Valters 😭 The world is so unfair...
This should've been in the top 3. The lines _"And I'm so sorry I'm so helpless in this angry world, if only I could change it for one day"_ get me every time. 😢 Also, this music genre needs to be heard more often at Eurovision too.
Latvia and Ukraine were the only songs with a message in the whole 2005's contest.
Rip 🙏💕
Latvia: Sends meaningful song
Voting: Nah
Greece: *Makes number out of humans*
Voting: YES
They were voted enough for the top 5 but I agree this should've been at least top 3, certainly miles better than the actual top 3 songs of that year.
If this does not melt your heart then it's made out of a stone
извините, я по-русски отвечу. Wolters 87 года. Мой сын 87 года. И я плачу ,когда вижу это видио. Мое любимое выступление на евровидение...Можете меня закидывать тапками. Но я и сейчас плачу...
