JJ, a young Austrian-Filipino opera singer, won Eurovision with 'Wasted Love,' an anthem that blends classical and electronic music. The song expresses the pain of unreciprocated love, urging listeners to reflect on whether love that ends is wasted or cherished. It contrasts the timelessness of opera with the modernity of dance beats, symbolizing a complex relationship torn apart by age and circumstance. The lyrics evoke feelings of mourning and nostalgia, highlighting the irreversible impact of lost love and cherished memories over time.
Now that you're gone, all I have is wasted love, this wasted love.
Is a love that ends wasted love? Or is it something to keep close to your heart so that it is always cherished?
The song seems to embody the very essence of the relationship I'm mourning, with the soaring elegance of opera and a pulsing, contemporary dance beat.
For a long time, we made music. But the end now consists of the immense pain of an archetypal tragic opera.
