Today DR, the Danish broadcaster of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, has released what it calls a sneak peak of Rainmaker, the official theme song of the show.

The video, which you can see here, shows last year’s winner, Emmelie de Forest, along with her co-composers Jakob Schack Glæsner and Fredrik Sonefors. Emmelie talks about the meaning of the song and we also hear a short clip of it.

The first live performance of this song takes place during the Semi Final of the Maltese semi final.

I attended my first Eurovision Song Contest in 1995, and from 1996 presented daily live reports for radio stations from the event. Since then I have been providing material from everywhere the contest has been held. I also enjoy compiling most of the video materials for three UK ESC events each year. In 2010 I first provided material for esctoday.com.
