Vukašin Brajić

Bosnia and Herzegovina had an internal selection once again this year. The lucky ones picked were the very popular singer and composers in the Balcans - Vukašin Brajić and Dino Šaran with a song about peace and co-existence. 

Vukašin Brajić, who placed second in the pan-balkan pop music TV-contest Operation Triumph, was nicknamed the assassin because he managed to eliminate all those nominated with him, although they were considered favourites of the audience. At the end of the show, the jury proclaimed him the participant with the highest average mark.

Even though he has been on the music scene for a little over a year, he has had many performances and concerts that qualified him to be the representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest. He believes his greatest advantage is his capacity for transformation on stage. He likes rock music because he can draw energy from it for his performances and it is the only style that reflects his temperament. Emotional and impulsive. 

Dino Šaran, who wrote his son, is one of the most respected composers in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. He has written songs for famous music stars such as Vanna, Crvena jabuka, Luka Nižetić, but also for the folk music star Halid Bešlić. 

"This is a song about co-existence and tolerance. The lyrics are introspective and talk about the relationship between two people, but this can be applied to a strained relationship between any two subjects." he said about the entry. 

Lyrics of Thunder And Lightning

Say just one more word
And you will make it end
And I will leave this place
Only anger will remain
And it doesn't seem to me
We're each other's better side
These days

This is the time to melt the ice
Off our lips and off our hearts
Thunder and lightning holding hands
Let's overcome the past

The drought is all around
But if we start breathing together
We can bring the rain down
For a dream, for a brand new day
To wash away our sins
And carry them away

This is the time to melt the ice
Off our lips and off our hearts
Thunder and lightning holding hands
Let's overcome the past
We have to do it fast

In this crazy world
Just you and I

Say just one more word
And everything will end, everyone will leave
