  • Rechtop in de wind
rdfs:comment
  • Rechtop in de Wind was the Dutch entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 in Brussels performed by Marcha. The song is a dramatic ballad, sung from the perspective of a woman whose relationship has just ended. Marcha describes her feelings as the relationship ends, and goes on to sing that she told herself to be strong and to stand "upright in the wind", even if that wind became a "hurricane". It was performed 12th on the night, following Greece and preceding Luxembourg. At the close of voting, it finished in joint 5th place with Denmark, both receiving 83 points.
