The project MELOVIN takes his name from 'Halloween' and the surname of the late British designer, Alexander McQueen. His relatively short career in the music industry is marked by perseverance and persistence, and his song for the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, 'Under The Ladder' references the themes of never giving up.
MELOVIN made a number of attempts of making it into different popular talent shows such as Ukraine’s Got Talent and The X Factor, before going on to win The X Factor in 2015 when he was only 18 years old.
Under The Ladder
Curtains down, I’m laughing at the trial
Help me to unravel
Tangle of my innocence inside
Faith’s bout to be severed
(Oh oh oh oh)
Won’t get any better
(Oh oh oh oh)
Walk under the ladder
Shout out just one reason what’s this for
You can see that whatever the weather
That the wind’s always there, always fair
(Oh oh oh)
And it has always been now or never
The decision has got to be made
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah)
Desperate thoughts, your hope calls you a liar
Fear begins to revel
Nothing but your will sets you on fire
Fire lasts forever
(Oh oh oh oh)
Can’t get any better
(Oh oh oh oh)
Dance under the ladder
If you dare, so what you’re waiting for
You can see that whatever the weather
That the wind’s always there, always fair
(Oh oh oh)
And it has always been now or never
The decision has got to be made
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah)
You can see that whatever the weather
That the wind’s always there, always fair
(Oh oh oh)
And it has always been now or never
The decision has got to be made
You can see that whatever the weather
That the wind’s always there, always fair
(Oh oh oh)
And it has always been now or never
The decision has got to be made
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah)
