Representing Minsk by way of Kyiv! Ukrainian star Alekseev is heading to Eurovision 2018, but he won’t be flying his home flag. Instead, he took part and won in Belarus’ national final, and will represent the country in Lisbon with his song “Forever“.
The song has been through numerous revamps before it’s got to the Altice Arena in May. But the core message has remained the same, as Alekseev says in our interview with him back in February.
“It’s a song about the most powerful and greatest feeling in the world, it’s about love.”
Alekseev seems to struggle with the presence of the woman featured in the song to begin with. “My reality seems to break apart / With her arrival”.
But as the song goes on, the confidence grows. “I know you’ll be mine / Forever” comes the titular line, which notably closes out the song.
You can check out all of the Forever lyrics below, along with the song and our reaction video.

Forever lyrics — Alekseev
It must be something that we call love
Wherever I go, I’m coming back
And time can not knock me off my track
This resolution is final
It must be something that we call love
It’s when you’re craving to say her name
And my reality seems to break apart
With her arrival
No need to worry, rain falling down
It’s our happiest story
And there’s no-one around
We will go for it
And I know you’ll be mine
Forever
Windows wide open, flying so high
Both of us roaming
Through magnificent skies
Rain keeps on falling
And I know you’ll be mine
Forever
It must be something that we call dream
When all you told me I know by heart
The type of beauty I call supreme
And how it’s driving me crazy
No need to worry, rain falling down
It’s our happiest story
And there’s no-one around
We will go for it
And I know you’ll be mine
Forever
Windows wide open, flying so high
Both of us roaming
Through magnificent skies
Rain keeps on falling
And I know you’ll be mine
Forever
You always sing me something new
I will always follow
When I first saw you here I knew
That I was blind before you
No need to worry, rain falling down
It’s our happiest story
And there’s no-one around
We will go for it
And I know you’ll be mine
Forever
Windows wide open, flying so high
Both of us roaming
Through magnificent skies
Rain keeps on falling
And I know you’ll be mine
Forever
