Okay, Alex has become my favourite bassist/background vocalist. He's a deadly combo and his supporting skills have become so strong it feels like he's almost providing half of the band's sound now.
after a week and a half of listening to this song 10+ times a day. I can confirm that this will be insanely hard to top. US AUSSIES GOTTA DO WHAT'S RIGHT 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I love how this song kept getting heavier as it went on, yet still kept that electronic bounce. Definitely surpassed my expectations as a years-long Voyager fan.
I would love to see prog metal in eurovision, wow, never even thought about it being possible ever. Please, send this to Eurovision and you'll have my vote. Love from Finland! :)
I think (as a progressive rock band) Pain of Salvation was applied before, but the music was hardly a progressive (or even rock) music as this one. Nevertheless I will be so happy if they go to top! Go Voyager! Love from Turkey!
I have my fingers and toes crossed that you get through the NF so we can vote for you in Europe at Eurovision! This is exactly what Eurovision needs, the competition needs to be more inclusive of different genres. Måneskin nudged the door open, go give it a big kick! Best of luck to you from Scotland. Woooo!

@@nelsonvillarreal4525 I haven't listened to the other choices to be honest, but I've been a fan of Voyager for a couple of years now and I'd love them to be given the extra exposure.

Doesn't mean that those others who have gone forwards aren't talented, just different.
Omg I love this!!! I couldn't decide between Sheldon or Voyager...but this song....it is so goddamn catchy and such 80s rock vibes!!! This is Eurovision. Love it!
@@danielcarvalhovianocturna435 I'm not the only that love Bulgaria at the moment then 😄 even with 2 songs being revealed yesterday Bulgaria is still top of my list don't know if or when it will move down to 2nd for me just depends what happens with my favourites in all the national finals
Just this song only conviced me to buy tickets for 013 Tilburg for October! See you there LEGENDS! ( Thanks eurovison for giving me this AWESOME band in my life!)
A pop song with not one 7 string guitar, but two. Who would have thought. Are they pop, metal, fusion metal, pop rock, jazz metal? Hard to pin down. Good luck guys.
One of the coolest things I've ever seen was this band and Alestorm having a keytar battle. You guys absolutely deserve to be in Eurovision! Greetings from Czechia!
Yeah they can bring some fun into Metal. When they played in Berlin the in the middle of the set said Okay, we are in Berlin, the homeland of Techo and just blasted some techno beats
@@aegisraven1284 Wow that you have the confidence and raging in the comment section, I have seen several comments where you cry like a baby, this is not it. And who do u think you are to tell me when to speak up and when not? Go cry in the bed
I've only recently found this band and I've been digging all of their stuff, and suddenly they have an entry in a contest where the winner will represent Australia at Eurovision?! This is beyond serendipity. I hope to god you'll win as seeing Voyager at Eurovision will be combining two things that I love into one.
You may have lost the national final, but you won millions of people's hearts. You wouldn't otherwise have won the televote (which you definitely deserved to win). So you guys better go on tour in Europe - my brother and I will be there! I will look forward to dig into your discography.
been listening to this band on spotify music app since the eurovision song contest in liverpool this past weekend and i think these guys was gonna win the Show and get the number one slot Really amazing songs very enjoyable and entertaining. Simply fantastic and brilliant
Duuuude this fucking slaps. Sounds like boss music in a cyber-bullethell videogame. If this ends up representing Australia for ESC, then this year will without a doubt be the first time I ever vote for that country. Also; I didn't notice the keytar before 1:20 - and it had me howling hahaha. Best of luck to you guys. My favorite song in a national selection along with The Rasmus' Jezebel this year so far.
I've hardly ever been this excited about a band in Eurovision national qualifiers. We have great rock bands in Finland, but Voyager was all new to me and they're already filling my playlists. I wish Australia decides to send these guys to Europe as well.
Forgot to add, today is 22.2.22, very auspicious. Good day to put your hopes and DREAMS to the Universe. Hope it's a good omen for you. Brilliant sound. ALL THE VERY BEST TO WA FROM VIC

Just discovered these guys because of the Eurovision song. I'm really impressed.
me too :)
This was almost our song for Eurovision last year.
Same. All these years I could have gone seen them. They are from my own country.
I think many, including me, might say the same :). This is a great track. I'll be checking out more of these guys.
same, and been binging them for quite some time. id like to learn their songs but they use a 7 string

I never usually comment twice but if this does not win the final then I will think Australia is Tone Deaf!
Australia's not tone deaf. We voted for it. A pity the 5 people of the jury didn't.
The jury was.... 😁
Dreamer is my favorite from the Australian entries.
Don't be sad, Voyager. You've introduced yourselves to a whole new audience and we lurrrrrrrvvved it!
Now this would actually be really interesting sound for ESC! Fingers crossed from Finland.
Get them to eurovision asap!! Easy win
This and Cyan Kicks in the final would be amazing !!
I watch this video at least 10 times a day since it was released. So catchy and different. We need this at Eurovision!!!
I'm italian and I hope to support Voyager at Eurovision. Fingers crossed.
IF THIS DOESNT MAKE IT TO EUROVISION, I WILL RIOT
This could be the only reason to actually watch the ESC. Good people of Australia, please make it happen!
Fingers crossed. 2nd half of the song definitely kicked into Euro gear, it's an instant classic.
Voyager with great live performance can honestly win the whole contest for Australia
I'm obsessed with Voyager!!!!
Australia, you’d better choose this! It could be my #1 this year.
It needs to be this or Electrify.
We need more Electronica in Eurovision.
We did, but the jury didn't. "Australia Partially Decides" competition.
@@neilwaldock6272 yeah, I saw that. Unfair voting system 😢
Maybe they should try for San Marino 😆
It's official, I need therapy.

Send ❤❤ from Poland.

Its like the Killers and The Presets gave birth to the Voyagers.. Im hear for it! great Track!
Wow, Australia, this would be an awesome choice for Eurovision. Sending love and good luck from Finland!
I just read they performed with Nightwish in Perth and also Children of Bodom. Terkkuja Perthistä Suomeen! 🤘
Top 5 in ESC guaranteed.
It's a really good song. It has complexity to it musically. I guess it's all gonna be up to staging.
Thank you, Eurovision Song Contest, for introducing this band to me! Now I've listened to your music for days, feeling pure joy because I found it!
That's what Voyager do to you -- only love from now on!

Looks like we've got first ever Eurovision winner from Down Under!
Congrats guys!!! Go smash them with 'Promise' at Eurovision. Your look is awesome.
So proud
