The Bulgarian representative to Eurovision, Intelligent Music Project, has just released its song for the contest next year. The title of the song is “Intention”, and it is supported by a stunning music video. “Intention” was presented live on the Bulgarian National Television by the producer and author of the song, Dr. Milen Vrabevski.
“Intention” speaks of the personal struggle in our thoughts and minds to break free from old patterns of belief and behavior that hold us back. As of the very title we want to emphasize a very simple fact – It’s never too late to set foot on the right path – the path of growth, dignified existence, and life with a mission. The shadow you are chased by is actually your former you. Turn your back on the ego and selfishness and start living for the people around you… But change often means a strong internal battle, within your soul… Even a war with yourself. If the better part of you wins, you feel free & happy! And the freer you feel, the farther you walk away from real life. A paradox at first glance, but the environment you’re in is not meant to make you happy by default. The sense of freedom and happiness is a state of mind that you teach yourself to prevail in your thoughts. It is the result of a meaningful everyday usefulness. So, find deep within yourself the inner signals of the incomparable feeling of happiness, the sense of freedom, and spiritual satisfaction with existence. For all this to happen you need a strong intention”, said Milen Vrabevski.
‘Intention’ meets all criteria for top quality dynamic festival rock. And get the best of it with the great Ronnie Romero, the catchy guitar riffs of Bisser Ivanov and… wait for it – the amazing Simon Phillips on drums! He is also the music co-producer of the song. What a team!
Unfortunately, Mr. Phillips will not be able to hit the Eurovision. As in the video of the song, on stage in Turin, behind the drums will be the amazing two-time contestant in Eurovision Stoyan Yankoulov, who is actually the drummer of the band.
And what can say we about the video? Fully corresponding to the message of the song, the two storylines in it focus on a person’s inner struggle with himself. The clashes of life in the video are presented like a game – as a message not only to young people to think outside of the box, but also to their parents – give your children the chance to follow their instincts and make bold decisions! On the attractive mirrors set and with the help of the beautiful girl travelling in time in the video, it’s shown that wherever we’re trying to “disappear” or get out, we cannot run away from ourselves. The only way to live with dignity is to come face to face with the enemy, who is always the same – your own self.
