Eurovision Song Contest/Heartwarming

• Many people fell hard for Belgium's beautifully simple Me and My Guitar, and the song itself is pretty much one epic Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. Despite only coming 6th many people consider it to be a truly good song. Although it was probably too good for Eurovision...
  • Almost all songs on this kind (a soloist with a guitar) have a certain heartwarming appeal, ever since Nicole started it in 1982
• Iceland's 2011 entry was "Coming Home" by a band called Sjonni's Friends, which only formed because the writer of the song, Sjonni Brink, died days before he was meant to perform it in the Icelandic national selection. Sjonni's musician friends, believing the song should stay in the competition, formed a tribute band and took the song all the way to Eurovision (it finished 20th).
