A smile bathed in light

So the Hump's entry to represent the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest has been revealed...

Do we think Love Will Set You Free is a winner? Probably not. It will certainly take a few more listens (and hopefully a more exciting arrangement suitable for the pyrotechnic-orientated modern contest) to get our juices really flowing.

However, as songs go, it is not the worst I have ever heard, and as I have said before, at least the man can sing!

[Thanks, John-John!]

Engelbert Humperdinck - Love will set you free

So graceful and pure, a smile bathed in light
No matter the distance, a miracle of sight
Though I should have known, I could not turn away
When faced with your beauty no reason can stay

As you kiss him in the moonlight
With heavy words I say

If you love someone, follow your heart
‘Cause love comes once if you’re lucky enough
Though I’ll miss you forever, the hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free

Trust in your dreams, run with no fear
And if you should stumble remember I’m near
As a ghost I will walk, I’ll look deep in my soul
I might find another, you gave me that hope

So as you kiss him in the moonlight
With heavy words I say

If you love someone, follow your heart
‘Cause love comes once if you’re lucky enough
Though I’ll miss you forever and the hurt will run deep
Only love can set you free

And if you love someone, follow your heart
‘Cause love comes once if you’re lucky enough
Though I’ll miss you forever, the hurt will run deep
Love will set you free…
