Find You by Katarina Dashanovka
Language: English
Tune: Delta Goodrem - Lost Without You
After a successful victory in the Landa vy Polkopiya, which for many editions, served as the Polkopian National Final which would determine who would represent Polkopia in the Worldvision Song Contest and with which song, Katarina Dashanovka and her song, Find You, achieved many domestic milestones as well. Find You climbed to #3 on the Top 100 Polkopian Hits for 2015. Although a much different entry than what the PNB, or Polkopian National Broadcaster, usually sends to Worldvision, many Polkopian bookies are betting for this song to finish in a top 10 position. Critics of the song, however, say that the PNB failed to send an 'authentic' Polkopian song to the contest and Katarina will suffer heavily as a result. Needless to say, the outcome on Polkopia's entry to the 37th Worldvision Song Contest heavily depends on Katarina's performance on the night of the final.
Katarina Dashanovka sat at a large, white grand piano in the center of the stage. Her hair was carefully braided in a traditional Polkopian fashion, as if to make a statement against those who criticized her during the Landa vy Polkopiya. She wore a long, pink dress which seemed to gently blow back on stage once the wind machines were set up around the stage. Around her, two male guitarists and a female drummer were set up, as well as one female backing singer. The men and woman on the instruments began to play their respective instruments and soon enough, Katarina joined them on the piano before leaning forward and singing into the microphone.

We both already know where our troubles lie
We both try to make each other cry
All just to prove that we were right
About something that doesn't matter in the end.
I thought me and you were like heaven and hell
Two opposites trying to, figure life out
As the chorus began, the lights shone around stage and the background LED screen showed different projections of bright colors such as red, orange, and yellow, fusing into one another. Streams of blue and purple would appear every now and then on the screen as well, seeming the slice the screen in half.
I've been trying to find you
This entire time.
But do I even know you
Should I even try?
If we took a moment to figure this entire thing out
What would we do?
If I can't even find you.
(I keep trying to find my place)
Yeah...
(But why do I even try?)
I can't even find you
(I keep trying anyway)
Will I find you?
The chorus ends, and the lights return to their previous state. The LED screen fades into darker shades of blue and purple rather than the brighter colors seen a moment ago. Fog machines emit a heavy blanket of fog which covers the entire floor.
How man fights have we endured?
How many times have you hurt me with words?
Every time I close my eyes I see you
And that is why I'm so confused
You're in my thoughts, my mind, my prayers
As much as I want you gone, I want you to stay
The chorus returns, as do the bright lights on the LED screens. These lights are also reflected in the fog below, creating a bright, almost whimsical atmosphere on stage.
I've been trying to find you
This entire time.
But do I even know you
Should I even try?
If we took a moment to figure this entire thing out
What would we do?
If I can't even find you.
(I keep trying to find my place)
Yeah...
(But why do I even try?)
I can't even find you
(I keep trying anyway)
Will I find you?
Katarine gently picks up the microphone from its holder on the piano, and stands up, facing the audience. The wind machines seem to pick up a bit, blowing her hair back as well as the loose ends of her dress.
Every time I think this way
I think back on what we used to say
And how we whispered sweet nothings in each others' ears.
Ohh!
Katarina had crouched down over the microphone to sing that last note, and when she had done so, the fog seemed to clear from the stage floor all at once, and in its place, multiple jets of water shot up from the back of the stage and the LED screen showed a large heart being formed; half yellow and orange, and the other half, dark blue and purple.
I think I've finally found you
Right here by my side
And now I think I finally know you
You've been here this whole time
It took me a while to figure this whole thing out
What would I do?
If I hadn't even found you.
(I kept trying to find my place)
Yeah...
(I had tried for so long)
I've finally found you...
(Took me until know to know)
That I actually love you, oh...
I'm glad I've found you
