Tim Schou / "Proud" Musik og tekst: Benjamin Rosenbohm, Emil Lei, Joachim Ersgaard, Tim Schou Det er 14 år siden, at Tim Schou sidst stod på Grand Prix-scenen. Dengang i 2011 bragte sangen 'New Tomorrow' ham og kammeraterne i bandet A Friend in London hele vejen til Eurovision, hvor de sikrede sig en flot femteplads i finalen. Nu er Tim Schou så tilbage i Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, denne gang som solist med sangen 'Proud'. - Sangen handler om at finde stolthed i alt det, vi er, og alt det vi har været igennem. At turde acceptere vores ar og alt det, der gør os til dem, vi er blevet, siger Tim Schou. 'Proud' er skrevet af Tim Schou selv sammen med Joachim Ersgaard, Benjamin Rosenbohm og Emil Lei og er en personlig hymne til Tim Schous yngre jeg. - Hvis jeg kan minde bare én person om den rejse, de selv har været på, og at det er muligt at starte forfra og genopfinde sig selv, så er målet nået, fortæller Tim Schou om ambitionerne for sin Grand Prix-optræden. Det er første gang Tim Schou stiller op i Dansk Melodi Grand Prix som solist, men han har medvirket som sangskriver på andres sange i både 2018, 2020, 2023 og 2024.

Once I knew a boy
He got burned
Now he fears the fire
It sits like a mark inside his head
He's trying to forget

He spends his days and all his nights
Running from the voice inside
Longing
Oh, I

I wish I would've told him
I'm proud of who you are
It's fine if you feel broken
And stumble out of bars
I'll find your hands and hold 'em
When everything gets dark
You never left me broken
I'm proud of who you are
I should've told him
I should've told him

We were counting stars
He took a back seat in the car
I begged him come on take the wheel
'Cause only you know where to go

But he sat numb and paralyzed
Cause he's been taught the world decides
What's hot what's not
What's wrong what's right
And he just wants to feel alive

I wish I would've told him
I'm proud of who you are
It's fine if you feel broken
And stumble out of bars
I'll find your hands and hold 'em
When everything gets dark
You never left me broken
I'm proud of who you are
I should've told him
I should've told him

I wish I would've told him
It's part of who you are
It's fine if you feel broken
And stumble out of bars
I'll find your hands and hold 'em
When everything gets dark
I wish I would've told me
I'm proud of who l am

I should've told him
I should've told him
I'm proud of who you are
