Slovenia - Pogrüntey (Outsider)

It all started with a dream. She played bass with her band in that dream. The band played on a beach, and it sounded awesome.

Zarja woke up with a bass line still playing in her head. She quickly played the melody on her bass in order not to forget it. When she came back from school, she played it again.

The next time she met with her uncle Andrej, her bass teacher and mentor of Pogrüntey, a school band from Bistrica ob Sotli, Slovenia, she showed him the idea from her dreams, and he loved it. Immediately, they started working on a song. Zarja already knew the title, too. Outsider. "It should be about how it is if you are creative, independent, and think with your own head. And about how sometimes you get criticized and outcast for that."

Together, they started working on the lyric and the structure of the song. It took no more than two meetings. It was clear that they had found a new song for the Schoolovision song contest.

And here it is! Andraž, Julija, Eva, Vid and Zarja hope you like it.
