The Shin and Mariko describe their song-

It describes the last three minutes of a long walk back to Earth, back home. The song is about feelings and thoughts you have when you return, and it also tries to answer the question how the earth sounds at the moment.

In 2013 GPB opted for an internal selection when Sopho Gelovani and Nodi Tatishvili were selected to fly the Georgian flag in Malmo with Thomas G.sson’s Waterfall, achieving a 15th place in the final.
