Er Oliver verdens mest uheldige fyr?

Den tanke kan man godt få, når man hører hans bidrag til Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, der bærer titlen 'The Unluckiest Boy Alive'.

Sangen har Oliver, der optræder under kunstnernavnet Adel the Second, selv skrevet, men ifølge ham skal budskabet dog tages med et lille gran salt.

- Jeg forsøger ikke for alvor at overbevise nogen om, at jeg er den, der har det allerværst af alle. Men jeg tror, at det er meget menneskeligt at fange sig selv i at føle netop sådan fra tid til anden. Dét synes jeg giver sangen et sarkastisk glimt i øjet, fortæller han.

'The Unluckiest Boy Alive' er langt fra den første sang, Adel the Second har skrevet.

Faktisk skrev han sin første sang, allerede da han var ti, og som teenager besluttede han endegyldigt, at han skulle leve af at være sanger. En drøm, han nu rykker ét skridt tættere på gennem sin deltagelse i årets Grand Prix.

- Jeg håber, at jeg ved Dansk Melodi Grand Prix får lov at bevise, at der er plads til mig i den danske musikbranche, fortæller han.

The Unluckiest Boy Alive

Isn't it awful what's happening to me
Only awful things happen, seemingly
Of all the problems in the universe
Mine surely must be the worst

Why don't you feel bad for me?
Why don't you feel worse?
How come when you look at me
You don't see the hurt?
There are people richer, smarter and prettier than I

It's a wonder I haven't yet died
When I'm the unluckiest boy alive
Beyond me, I continue to try
When I'm the unluckiest boy alive
The unluckiest alive

Some struggle to pay the bills, to pay the rent
What most people really fail to comprehend
I'm kinda bored, and I feel so lonely, I feel lost
You could say whatever good I've got
I've paid the highest cost

Why don't you feel bad for me?
Why don't you feel worse?
How come when you look at me
You don't see the hurt?
There are people richer, smarter and prettier than I

It's a wonder I haven't yet died
When I'm the unluckiest boy alive
Beyond me, I continue to try
When I'm the unluckiest boy alive
The unluckiest alive

Give me money, give me time
Give me features so divine
Give me hope, give me faith
A god that listens when I pray
Give me clothes, give me house
Give me car to fuck about
Give me reasons not to hide
Give me reasons not to die
Give me reasons
Give me reasons
Give me reasons why
Why

It's a wonder I haven't yet died
When I'm the unluckiest boy alive
Beyond me, I continue to try
When I'm the unlucky, unlucky, unlucky
The unluckiest alive
The unluckiest alive

When I'm the unluckiest boy alive
The unluckie?t ?live
