The next year, Lejn Andersson won the Sunlight Song Contest, and was favored to represent in WVSC. In the contest, however, Revelations, a song that resonated well with the general public in Syrche, was poorly received, and a real let down.
Living a dream that died just yesterday
a world much wider in my own mind
a burning scarlet light
Practicing principles, and
morals undefined.
I’ve come to find a Revelation
Escape from this, Reality
There is a higher life, and I will find it
In my mind, Revelations!
Past shackled lives, sentenced for misery
where thieves and beggers met their end
were their illusions grand?
illusive fate and bad timing
forgone exit plans
let no one else lay claim to, never more...
I’ve come to find a Revelation
Escape from this, Reality
There is a higher life, and I will find it
In my mind, Revelations!
search deep within, to find the power
Don’t just give in tonight
I’ve seen the image of perfection
Revelations, in my mind
REVELATIONS! WOOO HOO
REVELATIONS! YEAH, YEAH!
REVELATIONS! WOO HOO
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!

For WorldVision 26, it was decided that Syrche needed to beef up their presence a bit, so the choice was handed to the Dalia Rekorder, the largest Record company in Syrche. They chose an up and coming 3 piece R&B group called K-City-X. With poise, style, attitude and lyrics that wrapped themselves into the song, "Minor Attraction" was expected to perform well, however, due to a misinterpretation of the translated lyrics, some in the international community were set against the song.
K-City-X lead singer Diva had stated that the reason for the full English lyrics was because of the failure of a fully Datsche song the year before. After the incident, K-City-X changed the name of their album to "Corruption of a Minor" in reference to the incident, however, it had a similar effect with Syrchesi audience, and the group quickly fell of the charts.
In 2022 a remix was released of the song under a new name "Fatal Attraction" and with altered lyrics.
Stand there screamin' baby don't you let go
I think it's time we said goodbye,
feel like there aint nothing left that's right and
it's only gonna hurt your pride, pride...
i know your whole worlds been replaced
cause i'm not gonna be back
now, we talked about it
but baby can't you see that
i just can't do that
don't put me through it
it ain't nobody
elses to do with
Maybe it's all wrong, (but i gotta feel your love and affection baby !)
this been going on for so so long (think it's too late to save me baby)
don't you sleep on my love, real is real love is what i feel
two hearts can make it, baby we can save it
go 'head and mind your own if you never had a fatal attraction, ladies...
It's an obsession, Boy
and it spread just like a cancer
people still harrass you
when they see (see)
you with me (me)
why can't they just let well enough be, and maybe let us
just live our own lives, baby
our love is on the up and up
must be fate 'cause
once revealed,
i got feelings i never thought i would ever feel
Chorus
believe me this is tough
i don't care what they say (don't give a one)
this or that (that or this)
it's what i'm on(on point, anyway)
so if you still want love, to be with me
like i want you (like i want you)
then baby i'd say we gotta start
to fight for whats right for me and you (For us, for us)
so baby tell me this is real love (real love)
baby don't you know that you're the one (baby, you da' one)
lets hope it lands us
with all the blessings of good love
no more goodbye's i'm sayin'

The decision was made to bow out of WV28. 3rd party coverage of the contest was still widely popular, and the WV28 contest convinced the nation that it was time for a return.
National Final that year produced Sheante: a fierce, blue haired transsexual. Following her selection, Sheante immediately went to work with producers Faolin O'Toole and Les Moore at the newly formed One International Records. A production sample of the song that leaked online generated a lot of buzz.
Sheante's "Broken Love" became the second best resulting song that Syrche had ever presented in the contest, until then, coming 14th place.
Was all the music that we made
fraudulent in nature
ords untrue that came from you
and your behavior lately
What we had will forever be
a house built on the sand
condemned to be, eternally
something that could not stand here
det var dig og mig [it was you and i]
dære som være en [two, being as one]
liper att falde [free to fall]
men kærlighed ikke alt godt [but love is not always good]
dig og mig, nu det er nej [you and i, now there is no]
Remainder of
this broken love
you and me, but it is done,
its over, a broken love.
These words you are saying
I've come to know them as false
a symbol of something that we both lost
something that could not stand here
You've taken the illusions of grandeur away
in one fell swoop revealed to me
through your behaviour lately
It was You and me
two meant to be
set free to fall
one love, now there is none
you and me, but it is done,
its over; this broken love.

The next few cycles went by. WV34 finally saw the return that the public had been kept waiting for. This time it was Danil Kim, immigrant from the SouthEast Asian nation of Chaille Bao, with "Gravity," a progressive ballad detailing the illicit affairs of a failed romance. This song was the third best result for Syrche, at 19th place. This also was the last time that Syrche would compete in Worldvision for 31 editions.

Worldvision 90 marked the 70th anniversary of Syrche's Debut in the Contest
It was the second-worst showing Syrche had ever landed in the song contest; better only than K-City-X's disastrous Worldvision 26 act: Minor Attraction, which had been followed up by the equally poorly received album, Corruption of a Minor. K-City-X were subsequently blamed for the falloff of R&B in Syrche.

Lady Ruth Consists of the following members:

Dom Johaness, Guitars.
Lady Ruth were a symbol of 80s nostalgia known best for their one hit, "Alone in the Dark," which spent 3 weeks at number 2 on the Syrchesi Hot 25 in 1982
The song was the first in slew of more modern sounding pop-rock oriented songs being released at the time, upending the
trend that had been strong since the mid sixties of DuWop and soul dominating the mainstream. It changed the music scene in Syrche, paving the way for Pop Rock to become the quintessential 80s sound in Syrche.

Diek Lovitt, Talent Coordinator at Alpine Interior Telekast (2019-2021), publicly resigns to dramati fanfare following Worldvision 90.
Bob Lezar , a failed former musician turned Network lacky, was placed in the vacant seat during the interim, and was as such tasked with finalizing acts for WorldVision.
So Lady Ruth, a One Hit Wonder from the early 1980s were sent to Teesdexxia to attend the first ever Retrovision Song Contest with their song "Alone in the Dark."
Conrad Flemming was an up and coming artist in Syrche who seemed to have the edge. tapped as the followup act. He had penned a tumultuous piece of music titled "Talking Down," which was meant as a social reaction to the disaster in WorldVision 90.
Unfortunately Conrad Flemming caught the 'Rona, and was barred from flying.
The AIT reps were all up in arms. Bob Lezar went nuclear.
That's where SHEANTE came into the picture....
Sheante was not new to the Worldvision Stage. She had already twice performed for the world. Sheante was last seen in Worldvision 66. Her 7th place finish in that contest had set a new bar for Syrchesi music, and has yet to be bested in this contest or any other. And it was exactly that kind of star power that Bob Lezar was hoping to capitalize on.

Bob Lezar had narrowly retained his job as Talent Director at the Alpine Interior Telekast, following his leadership in RETROVISION, where he was able to assemble 80's one hit wonder Lady Ruth; and in WorldVision 91, where, when the Internally Selected Conrad Fleming caught the CoronaVirus and was barred from flying, he was able to contact SHEANTE who wrote the song "One Night In Haufenberg" on the plane ride over to Carrelie, all the while envisioning the night and experience she hoped to have.
It had been a few years since Syrche was in WorldVision, and Syrche was sitting on the brink of an economic recession. All the while One Corporation, which Bob Lezar worked for and which was the owner of Alpine Interior Telekast, was rumored to be in the midst of an Acquisition-Merger. This meant consolidation, downsizing. This meant Bob Lezar could be on the chopping block.
It was a gamble.
But what did he have to lose?
A good showing could save his place within the new company.

Exposition
Syrche had not competed in Worldvision since '99 (with the notable exception of "Retrovision").
Other matters were deemed of greater national importance, and there was a major restructuring
around discretionary international spending.
Bob Lezar, the Talent Director for Alpine Interior Telekast, had been promoted within One Corporation,
and was now leading the Audiophile Division of streaming music content. Following the recent
acquisition-merger (whereby One Corporation, which was created as a joint venture between
Kersner Corporation and Andersson & Co, acquired and merged the assets of both companies
to create a more cohesive corporate structure,)
After discussions had fallen through with the Governor and Havs of Kommens about the creation
of a Ministry of Culture, to more appropriately portray and preserve Sÿrchesi culture abroad, the rights
to the contest were returned to One Corporation.
Now Rici Sentasi III (Whose grandfather judged WV25, among others) found himself in the newly titled,
but similarly tasked position of "IMOD" International Music Outreach Director
Name: Conrad Flemming
Age: 30 years old,
Pronouns: He/Him
Hometown: Falmoeth Shores, Ashery Bay Colony County, (Syrche)
Conrad Flemming was was scheduled to attend Worldvision 91 with a scathing social commentary
called "Talking Down." At the time he was enjoying major clout for his online only releases of
two seperate EPs: Ascend; an ambitious experimental pop album, and The Morning After EP
which built on the themes of Ascend, but included more funk and world inspiration, as well as
having been produced by Hal Stikzer.
Unfortunately, Flemming fell victim to "The 'Rona," which due to international flight laws, barred him
from flying to Haufenburg, Carellie. Bob Lezar had him replaced at the last minute by SHEANTE
who had to write the replacement song on the flight over.
After being down with the sickness, singing didn't feel the same.
Since that time, Flemming had basically given up on music.
He worked a stable 9-5 job in the city and owned a beachfront house in Falmoeth Shores.
He enjoyed having drinks on the weekend with his buddies, and had adopted a cat
from a local shelter.
But something was stirring in him. One night, out on the town
at a local bar, he'd had a few to many Golden Cross Lager's,
when he was dared him to get on the mic....
Conrad Flemming gripped the mic, with all the confidence of the liquor.
the song began, one he knew well....
he figured he'd be god-awful..... but who cares right? it's karaoke....
then, out a sweet honey golden voice...
He couldn't believe it..... His voice was back to
...well, maybe better than ....normal?!
as the song continued, he began to lean into it more,
and layed it on, thick and airy for the crowd.
The crowd was eating it up!
They were pawns in his hand, and he was the King...
Shortly after that, Conrad received word that Syrche would possibly be attending Worldvision again,
and phoned One Corporation to express his interest. The newly appointed Rici Sentasi III, who seems
to be a bit extra.... most of the time... was overjoyed to have such a notable name thrown into the
ring.
-The Performance-
Following PAYLUNIKKA's performance,
The Ident Appears
The lights go full dark
The Tune begins abruptly, with the isolated pre-recorded chorus vocals
filtered beyond recognition, accompanied only by the kick drum
and basic piano chords, slowly building in volume.
As the first verse begins, the beat drops in, and a spotlight brightens up the center of the stage
revealing Conrad Flemming dressed as pictured with a bowler hat and slick black shoes, a thin black tie and button up
white cotton shirt under a black suit jacket.
After the first line, ambient lights are gradually added
bathing the stage in a warm golden aura.
Conrad stands back from the microphone, with his right shoulder raised,
and his head tilted back slightly, and his right foot pointed down.
As he sings the interrogative lines, his facial expressions move from
demure, to confusion and concern, and his head bobs around slightly,
as he carries out the song.
At the end of the second verse, he begins to lean in toward the audience.
Throw your cards in
Are you all in
Can you bet your aces play
Same as yesterday, or does luck change?
(you) Look nervous, on the surface
Let me impart you something more
a point purported you may have ignored...
The LCD Monitors overhead are lit up with images of current events

intimate atmosphere, with Conrad crooning to the audience.
the lighting will reduce gradually until as the second verse completes,
ALL OF THE LIGHTS including the overhead video screens and spotlight are completely dark.
Conrad's concerned looks morph into cynical head wringing, as he
becomes a barely visible silhouette.
Oh, No I
I won't fake you with a fable
the world is still unstable
as ever implied
You and I
we're just players on the stage
words upon the page
that we dare recite
As the Chorus breaks in, the lights go to full power, revealing six backup dancers,
standing stationary at the back of the stage. Three average height blond men
wearing black and gray blazers and three tall blond women in gray and black
pants suits.
The backup dancers begin moving robotically toward Conrad through the first
half of the chorus.
As Conrad starts to sing the chorus, he does a quarter turn, bobs his head,
andwinks at the audience.
In contrast to the backup dancers, Conrad bobs his head back and forth,
struts across the stage, and gyrates his hips.
He continues to move like this through the second half of the chorus,
during which the backup dancers
(now paired as two females to the left, two males to the right,
and a male female pair standing behind Conrad)
each turned to their partner, lock hands, and pull toward each other,
staring into each others eyes. Then the leads twirl the partner around,
and they return to their start position, hidden at the back of the stage
as the lights go back to NOTHING.
We Might
Be cars on a cable on a dark night
Fixed in our path so even despite;
We're well on our way to never find the light
Well we just might
Be trained in a trance somewhere we lost sight
Caught in a dance, the neverending fight
Well on our way to never find the light
The overhead video screens light up again, with the image of a
sleek, modern looking building.
Inside, an evil corporate figurehead with a giant mustache smokes a cigar.
while sitting on a huge pile of money bags.
before him is a map of world oil reserves.
Men of high stance
in finance
rollin out the dough they've piled
watching as the world before them burns
cut to images of smoke stacks spewing black smoke into the sky.
A woman walks past, wheezes, coughs, hacks, falls to the ground.
its some kind of mindless
world that makes the money go round
the chaser of the tails that wag the dog
The Screen cuts blank, and the lighting begins to rise again.
The woman from the video is wheeled in from backstage on a stretcher,
almost perfectly in sync with the video.
The backup dancers, now dressed in medical garb, rush over to her
and appear to be attempting to resuscitate her, as the lights pull down again
You and I
are in a cradle to the grave
sinking souls unsaved
sit-u-a-tion
i can't deny
there's been quite the plot to play
see the storm that can't be stayed
on the-hor-i-zon
as the bridge ends, the lights are completely out, only to come back again
at full strength as the chorus begins.
one of the male backup dancers walks off stage with the gurney.
The other dancers return to their prior
station around Conrad. The dancing and lights are same as before, however,
this time, the female dancer with no partner begins to move
differently, attempting to copy Conrads moves.
she begins to advance toward him, and they briefly dance, opposing each other
before the audience with the other dancers in the background.
after the final line of the song, the two stare into each others eyes,
moving continually closer, as the outro filtered chorus plays.
We Might
be cars on a cable on a dark night
fixed in a path that even so despite
will we question the will to never find the light ?
Well we just might
be trained in a trance somewhere we lost sight
caught in a dance, the never-ending fight
well on our way to never find the light
