Lake Malawi will represent Czech Republic at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest. The indie-pop band was founded by Albert Černý in 2013 and the band's name was inspired by a Bon Iver song. 

Lake Malawi have played over 300 gigs in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Austria, ​and the United Kingdom. Their music appeared in Czech films and was featured in a major rail carrier advertisement. Currently, the band consists of Albert Černý (lead vocal, guitar), Jeroným Šubrt (bass and keys) and Antonín Hrabal (drums).

Friend of a Friend

English

Can you hear it?

There’s someone behind the wall making the same sounds 

Can you hear it?

It sounds like you and me when we’re making love

Who is it?

You said you wish they weren’t taking such a long time

 

She was my neighbour when we were thirteen 

She moved back in...

There’s not much between us now

D’you know what I mean?

 

She’s only a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend 

She’s never home cause she plays in a band

I don’t know if you’d understand

She’s only a friend of a friend of a friend

I had a dream that she walked through the door I can’t recall her name anymore

Please believe me I’m your man

She’s only a friend of a friend of a friend

 

Can you feel it?

There’s someone sliding up and down the ceiling 

Breathing, he is synchronising with her beating heart (with her beating heart)

 

She was my neighbour when we were thirteen

She moved back in...

There’s not much between us now

D’you know what I mean?

 

She’s only a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend
