Here I Stand is an English-language pop song written by Vasil Garvanliev and composed with Davor Jordanovski and Borce Kuzmanovski. According to him, this was done during a time marked by chaos and disappointments, when he gave free rein to his emotions. At the beginning of the track, the singer is accompanied only by piano and strings, which are played staccato at the end of the chorus. For the second repetition of the refrain, percussion enters, which is reduced again at the beginning of the bridge. #esc #here #i stand #vasil #2021 #eurovision #song #contest
