abstract
  • Hunter of Stars was Swiss entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen performed by Sebalter. First released in December 2013, it was revised and re-mastered for single release on March 23, 2014. It is also the lead single of his debut solo album Day of Glory, released on January 5, 2015. The song is largely inspired by Sebalter's experiences while on a road trip in the United States in the summer of 2013. The memorable whistle on the track came about due to having no instrument with him - he had recorded the whistle on his phone (the melody was originally to be played on the violin) and it stuck upon his return to Switzerland. The video for the song was shot over three nights in March 2014 at the Hotel Splendide Royal in Lugano. The song qualified from the second semi-final in 4th place, Switzerland's first qualification in 3 years. In the final it was performed 20th following Spain and preceding Hungary. At the close of voting, it finished in 13th with 64 points, the country's best finish in nearly a decade. The song later won the 2014 World Cup of Music, an online tournament hosted by Canada's CBC Music. It won the final with 94% of the vote.
