I want to talk a little about the impact that songs can have on the world, in ways that go way beyond what the original singers may have intended.

I will ask that you hear me out, as the song I want to talk about is a #Eurovision song, but I am talking about one in the 1974 contest. This was held in Brighton, and it was the contest that was won by ABBA, with Waterloo.

But that is not the song that I want to talk about today.

Today, I want to talk about Portugal’s entry into the contest, E Depois de Adeus, composed by José Calvário with lyrics by José Niza, and sung by Paulo de Carvalho.
