1958: Not loved enough

“The sun shines on everyone equally. Why not on Austria, too?”, sang the actor Hans Moser in the Austrian science fiction film 1 April 2000 (1952). 

In 1958, Liane Augustin took to the stage for Austria at the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson Européenne with a song that was surprisingly similar to Hans Moser’s political demand in the film. She feels—in comparison to the rest of the world—too little loved and asks: “The whole world needs love (…) Should it be any different for me?”
