just give The Roop an Eurovision ticket fully already, a thread:
so for those who only got to know me since 2019 as I don& #39;t think I tweeted that much in 2018 preseason, hello
let me tell you all a brief story about The Roop. y& #39;all know this lead singer mans right? he used to be a popstar under the stagename Milano

and boy oh boy was he pressured inside, well yeah he was famous and known but after all these years, and the promos, and even performing in a Eurovision NF once before, he just... faded out of the public eye
he was a thing in the 00s right? by 2010, Milano was kinda no more

now henceforth I& #39;mma just simply call him Vaidotas
so Vaidotas succumbed into depression for quite a while. and let me tell you something. Lithuania is one of the most depressed countries out there, as it is so according to the suicide statistics - boom, we& #39;re leading in Europe.

the thing that strikes a chord with me in this case is that Vaidotas - a great man that he is - somehow kept his cool in this situation. when he looked up to the sky every morning, he saw the sun shine bright, and it made him feel great because >>>
>>> mornings are normally symbolized to be the beginning of a new day. a fresh new start. a blank slate. he& #39;d mostly feel up in the morning. a little down in the evenings maybe, sure, but every morning was the symbol that brightened up the world out there
he also meditated a lot
ok let& #39;s cut short here because y& #39;all wanna know why I stan?
so here come The Roop into the 2018 lineup of our NF and I am too dumbfounded to know what and why so I gently asked who The Roop were and I got a response that they were an indie band

I love indie bands so I was really interested
I didn& #39;t have time to listen to all 2018 songs prior to the show so my first reactions were as the show went along.
"Yes, I Do" came on and I was positively surprised.
It was pleasant, catchy, cool and contained.

So what& #39;s very special about this song of theirs called "Yes, I Do"?
It& #39;s written specifically about that depression of Vaidotas& #39;s, and the hope that climbed out of the hopelessness for him in the mornings when he had these days.
Who in Lithuania does that?

That heat night though, it also had this one singer& #39;s, Jurgis Brūzga& #39;s, & #39;I Can& #39;t Go On& #39; riffoff track named "4Love"... I used to know that guy for doing acoustic shit for teenagers to listen to (his first band literally did a soundtrack for a Lithuanian teen drama-com >>>
>>> several years ago, basically all the songs of the soundtrack that aren& #39;t by Linkin Park or whatever other alt.rock band there was, it was theirs), so when I heard him go pop, I thought "hum that& #39;s interesting"
but I have put him aside as The Roop were becoming my winners
the song? sublime
the rhythm? divine
the melody? memorable
the performances? eh, it kinda dwindled live here and there, but it was salvageable
the message? YES
and see, the Lithuanian televoters were agreeing w/ me!
