Dons - Hollow (LIVE) | Latvia 🇱🇻 | Second Semi-Final | Eurovision 2024

Dons from Latvia performed ‘Hollow’ in the Second Semi-Final of Eurovision 2024 in Malmö, Sweden

~~~ Lyrics ~~~

Don’t look now
You’ll see me crying rivers I might drown
Don’t know how
Oh will I ever find my own way out

I don’t wanna lose me so cruelly
I’m drifting in and out of who I am
So help me understand

It’s killing me slow
Try to make me just another believer
Everybody just pretending they're preachers, preachers
It's killing me slow
Yeah I'd rather let them dig my grave shallow
Instead of selling out to something so hollow, hollow

Not afraid
Oh to tell you all my sins I can’t escape
No I won’t change
Woah it's like a bad disease that I can’t shake

I don’t wanna lose me so cruelly
I’m drifting in and out of who I am
So help me understand

It’s killing me slow
They try to make me just another believer
Everybody just pretending they're preachers, preachers
It's killing me slow
Yeah I'd rather let them dig my grave shallow
Instead of selling out to something so hollow

First time I've ever voted and it was for Dons. He was captivating, without being pretentious. He let his soul shine through his performance, a natural talent indeed.❤

Wow, to stay at the Eurovision stage and sing that you don't want to sell yourself... and you proved it with pure strong vocals, humble staging, simple outfit. No dancers, fireworks, nudity, flashing lights. Just you and your voice and lyrics. What a statement! I'm so happy to see you in Grand Final 🦋

[jomarieblanca]

I cried at the end of the song, and almost died when Latvia was first to qualify for Final ❤‍🔥First time after 2016

[lulu-chan]

I actually had this on my predictions to qualify. It wouldn't be Eurovision without a big ballad. Congratulations Dons!!!!

[edytasowa]

This was the best man performance of the night! The best vocal and that's great that people appreaciated pure music. I wanted you to qualify so much and I was so disappointed when I saw odds - insane that you was last on the list...and then so happy when was results!!! Fantastic song !!! Greetings from Poland

[raffaelniccolo]

Definitely one of the best vocalists this year alongside Isaak of Germany and Slimane of France. Congrats, Latvia! Well deserved!

[jazminasmusic]

Braliukas! That is strong, love it!🫡 🇱🇹❤🇱🇻

[namelessss]

I don't understand why so many say he didn't deserve to be in final. He sang really well. Love from Italy ❤

[pldkdpl]

This is the only song i haven't fully listened to before the contest and i regret it

[zoefragou]

The dark horse of Eurovision. I had never payed attention to his song until i saw his performance tonight. His humble shy personality got me, such a contrast with his soul and his powerful voice! When he cried i liked him even more. I hope people will vote for him tonight, Dons deserves a place at the finals. Love from Greece!💙

[divine]

😮MY JAW WAS OPEN AFTER LATVIA QUALIFY
I was shocked this song actually got what it deserves❤
Lovely song😢

[Booklover-coffeelover]

Less is more ❤ 12 points from Greece, this was a super pleasant surprise

[kle_lux]

Last in the odds, considered DOA by the fandom, but he brought a great performance and something truly sincere and emotional and proved almost everyone wrong. SO so so happy for Dons 💜💜💜💜

[agnieszkalewandowska]

I'm physically unable to keep my eyes dry when he sings the last reprise and gest emotional. That man has his heart right there on his sleeve and that's just so rare nowadays

[piblico]

I really really liked the song and i voted for it and i will do it again! You can do it Dons! Love and support from Greece!
