"Let Me Try" is a song recorded by Romanian singer Luminița Anghel. It features the backgrounding of percussion band Sistem. The europop recording was written and arranged by Cristian Faur. "Let Me Try" was selected to represent Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, where it managed to reach the third place and to score an amount of 158 points. Lyrically, Anghel addresses a lover, telling him that "I don't want to say goodbye", implying throughout the lyrics that their relationship is coming to an end. She asks why they "couldn't give it one more try", and tells him that "I will find a way to make you stay".
The performance of "Let Me Try" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 featured Anghel's backing group Sistem banging on drums of industrial waste and wearing the lids of these drums as shoes. Anghel also took part in these activities during the instrumental sections of the song. The BBC commentary of the contest likened Anghel to Ruby Wax due to her hairstyle. Previously, Romania failed to achieve a top 10 placing at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, so the song had to go through a semi-final selection process to qualify for the grand final. There, it was performed fourteenth, following Norway's Wig Wam with "In My Dreams" and preceding Hungary's NOX with "Forogj, világ!". At the close of voting, "Let Me Try" had received 235 points, reaching the first position in the euroscoreboard-field, and qualifying for the final. There, Anghel sung it fourth, following Malta's "Chiara" with Angel and preceding the Norwegian entry. Throughout the voting, "Let Me Try" has received the maximum 12 points-point from four countries.
Sistem (Macedonian: Систем, system) is the first and only album by Opstrukcija. It was released in 1999. The only known reference to it is an official Badmingtons biography which mentions the album. The track "Let vo prazno" appeared on the compilation CD Preku takvoto in 2001. The track "Odam" appeared on an old version of the Karter Film website, which has since been removed. In late 2012, a Vladimir Petrovski - Karter collection of 20 tracks was found, which included 10 possible Opstrukcija tracks, including Odam.
Please note that the actual number of tracks and the correct track order is unknown. Some of these tracks may actually be Aleksandar Makedonski tracks. The only confirmed Opstrukcija tracks in this list are "Odam" and "Let vo prazno".
The movie's over, baby
You don't seem to hear a word I'm sayin'
We're hypnotized losing control of our lives
We thought we had it made
Yes, we're in dancer, baby, we promised to never be tamed
But words are spoken so often in vain
And silence causes pain
So baby, save me, I've fallen in too deep
Oh baby, save me pray tonight my soul to keep
Save, save me
Let's think this over, baby
Because I'd hate to see us make a mistake
Always easy to stay every night when you turn off the lights
It's getting deeper now baby
I'm in water up to here with you
This river's rising, tell me when didi it start
To take away this heart
So baby, save me, I've fallen in this too deep
Oh baby, save me, pray tonight my soul to keep
Save, save me
I got caught n a wave about to beswept away
Save me
Cause I'm feeling no pain, It's making it so hard to say
Save me, I've fallen in this too deep
