Apollo
Lyrics:
Like a bullet in my chest,\\nYou're written, bound and etched\\nForever in my mind\\n\nWe are fading in our hands\\nLost somewhere in a wasteland\\nNot knowing up from down\\n\nBut when the walls are caving\\nAnd the world keeps turning\\nWe got the love, we got to love\\n\nNow I will never let you go\\nAll the words won't make me fold\\nIt is never easy\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\n\nNow I will never let you go\\nGive it time and we will grow\\nAin't no fun in easy\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\n\nI wear my heart on my sleeve\\nYou do the same for me\\nWhen autumn comes around\\n\nBut when the walls are caving\\nAnd the world keeps turning\\nWe got the love, we got to love\\n\nNow I will never let you go\\nAll the words won't make me fold\\nIt is never easy\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\n\nNow I will never let you go\\nGive it time and we will grow\\nAin't no fun in easy\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\nI'll follow you-u\\n\nSo don't pull the rug from underneath us\\nWe're in trouble babe, but we got the love\\nDon't pull the rug from underneath us\\nCrashing down fast, as fragile as glass\\n\nBut what are we now if we never tried?\\nWhat are we now?\\n\nI will never let you go\\nGive it time and we will grow\\nIt is not supposed to be easy\\n\nNow I will never let you go\\nGive it time and we will grow\\nAin't no fun in easy\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\n\nYou, Apollo\\nIt is never easy\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\n\nYou, Apollo\\nIt is never easy\\nI'll follow you, Apollo\\nI'll follow you, Apollo
Switzerland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Apollo" written by Elias Näslin, Nicolas Günthardt and Alessandra Günthardt. The song was performed by Timebelle. The Swiss entry for the 2017 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine was selected through the national final ESC 2017 – Die Entscheidungsshow, organised by the Swiss German speaking broadcaster Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) in collaboration with the other broadcasters part of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR). Artists that were interested in entering the Swiss national final had the opportunity to apply to one of three open selections with defined submission periods: an online platform where entries could be uploaded for public viewing, which was organised by the Swiss-German broadcaster SRF and the Swiss-Romansh broadcaster Radiotelevisiun Svizra Rumantscha (RTR), or by submitting an entry directly to the Swiss-French broadcaster Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) and/or the Swiss-Italian broadcaster Radiotelevisione svizzera. Up to 20 entries were selected to advance to a "Live Check" round. The "Live Check" was held on 4 December 2016 Zürich and involved an expert panel evaluating the live performances of the entries and selecting six entries to advance to the televised national final. The six finalists performed during the national final on 5 February 2017 at SRF's Studio 1 in Zürich where a public vote ultimately selected "Apollo" performed by Timebelle as the winner. Switzerland was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 11 May 2017. Performing during the show in position 13, "Apollo" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.
