In 2012 I had the idea of trying to get a ballad of mine chosen to represent Spain in the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest.
I prepared the following piece: «Europe is our home» in order to reinforce the idea that Europe should have a one-nation spirit (like the United States) along respecting and protecting the culture and identity of each country, but maintaining a strong nuclear union and not a mosaic of conflicting interests.
In the song, a man from southern Europe and a woman from the north love each other and (overcoming differences) want to live together and create a family.
My song, according to what Warner Music Spain told me, was among the favourites, especially because Sweden had coincidentally chosen «We Are One» as the motto in that Festival and my song was quite in that line.
But TVE had already chosen the group that was going to represent them (El Sueño de Morfeo) and they (creators of their own songs) obviously wanted to present themselves with one of their own song and not that one from a stranger.
Unfortunately, for one reason or another, they came in 25th place out of 26.
If any singer considers it appropriate to include it in his/her repertoire (obviously changing the lyrics and, if he wants, for a single voice) contact me and we attack the project.
