And didn't translate to Savvybuyer it seems. What the song is about, as described by the BBC, plain went completely over my head and comes as complete news to me, much like reading or hearing a Film Review, whether before or after a film, and I do not get the plotline. Definitely to do with my autism. If I hear a film review, and then go and see the film, I still can't identify in it the story they told me was there. I just see it as I see it, with each scene as it is and virtually no linkage unless a film obviously goes back to a location it has been at before. If I see a film without hearing a review, I get what I get, which is completely missing the overall story and then a film review will tell me what happened, which I didn't get in the film at all. And still don't even if I go back to a film after being told by a review. It doesn't work in practice - even if know what I am looking or what happens, I still don't see it in practice in the actual event, similar to how I can be told about conversation in theory but, when it comes down to it in practice, still not be able to do it like 'everyone else' does.
Complex things in films like developing relationships just completely pass me by. I like complex music, but a different form of complexity it seems, with layers of sounds on top of each other in which I follow whichever one or more I do at a time, rather than complex stories in which I miss all of what is being said, in a more subtle way. This tends to come across as simple to me without any complexity there which is probably why I tend not to like songs, although there is more in Mae Muller's song that reaches me through my autism filter than some songs that I don't like. So Mae Muller's track wasn't disliked by me although I didn't go enthusiastically for it either. To me (until told this by the BBC at least) her song was more of a simple song rather than a complex song at all - its complex message totally passed me by and isn't there when I hear the song - it is on the simple end of things on a sound level (whilst not too simple for me that I dislike it) and not a complex song. The complex stuff I am now told is in the song is completely missed by me when I hear it. Maybe if I saw the lyrics sheet I would see the message but, as a song played or performed, it doesn't come across that way at all to me - it is either a fun song I like to sing or it isn't - and actual what it is saying, really irrelevant (as the relevant things to me are my picking up irrelevant things from songs, some tiny detail in them and obviously not any subtle tone of voice or message relating to any overall context or emotional feeling that isn't individual-word-based, and the relevant thing for most people just irrelevant to me as I don't even pick it up).

Couldn't have put it better myself, although that is only because of the word used. I don't think it actually was. The verdict quite harsh, but I suspect I just like the harshness of things most times rather than them actually being what I think.

I'll share my wine with you sleazy. I'm having a party on my own as only me interested...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nszWh9-tAA (Or Trevor Gleeson or Bing Crosby or anyone else that may have done the song.) Nothing to do with Eurovision, as far as I know, but if anyone had their own party rather than watching Eurovision maybe...
