Listen to ‘Look Out!’ here:
Snowclone is a Finnish duo that produces pop music with a strong Nordic flavor. The band was founded in 2007. It consists of Anna Sipilä, a vocalist with a unique voice that grants Snowclone its signature sound, and Tero Aalto, who takes care of all the rest.
Tero is a language technologist who has been writing songs for over two decades, not only for Snowclone but also movies, theater etc. Tero’s first HCSC was back in 2002, and since 2011 he has participated every year.
This year’s entry, “Look Out!”, has a long history. The first version was born in the late 90s and was inspired by a certain Finnish Eurovision entry. Over the years and through various wildly different iterations, it eventually evolved into the form in which Snowclone would record it.
Look Out! is a story of independence and defiance, of being confident of one’s chances in life.
Look Out!
Why should I look out?
I’ll make it there, no doubt
I want to have it all
Never will I fall…
I know that I can
But I know that I shouldn’t break the rules
Keep on playing safe, stay cool
That’s not what I want to do with my life
Don’t ask me to care
And don’t ask me to give up on my ways
Every way I can, I’m free
That’s just how I want to be from now on
Why should I look out?
I’ll make it there, no doubt
One day I’ll have it all
So why should I look out?
I’ll make it there, no doubt
One day I’ll have it all
Look out!
You know that I will
Though you thought that I wouldn’t break the rules
Time is running out on you
There’s no longer much to do to save you
Don’t ask me to stop
And don’t ask me to turn back on my way
Everywhere I can, I’ll flee
There’s nowhere I want to be from now on
There’s a way up, there’s no way down
Wherever I go, I’m on my own
Follow me to see where my feet want to lead
Far away from here, somewhere out of reach
Why should I look out?
I’ll make it there, no doubt
One day I’ll have it all
And I’ll never look back
On those I’ve left behind
I’ve got to move on, I’m on the high tide
Wake up, give in, let go
Step down, stand back and look out!
