В октябре 2004 года представители Швейцарских телевещателей SF DRS, TSR и TSI прослушали возможные кандидатуры представителей на конкурсе Евровидение и пришли к единому решению: Швейцарию на конкурсе представит Эстонская группа Vanilla Ninja. Автором их песни станет Дэвид Брэндес. Cool Vibes - это второй трек с нового альбома группы Blue Tattoo. Альбом выходит 14 марта.
Дэвид работает с группой с лета 2003 года и написал все основные хиты группы. Он был выбран в качестве автора не только основываясь на успехе его песен, но и его связях со Швейцарией - он родился в Базеле, а учился в Эттингене.
Группа Vanilla Ninja состоящая из Пирет, Катрин, Ленны и Триину уже достигла значительного успеха по всей Европе, в особенности в Германии, Австрии и Швейцарии. Их альбом Traces of Sadness сразу же достиг 3й строчки немецких чартов и получил статус золотого.
Среди условий, поставленных организаторами для потенциальных кандидатов было - опыт телевизионных и концертных выступлений, наличие минимум одного видео и минимум одного диска входившего в топ 50 официальных чартов.
In October 2004 representatives of Swiss public regional broadcasters SF DRS, TSR and TSI reviewed the entries for the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 and came to an unanimous decision: Switzerland will be represented by the Estonian girlband Vanilla Ninja at the Eurovision 2005. Their song will be written and produced by David Brandes.
Cool vibes is the second track on Vanilla Ninja's brand new album Blue Tattoo. The album will be released on 14th March.
David Brandes has been working with Vanilla Ninja since the summer of 2003 and has written all of the band's hits. As songwriter, composer and producer, Brandes was chosen not only on the basis of his musical track-record but also because of his links with Switzerland - he was born in Basel and went to school in Ettingen, Canton Basel-Land.
Vanilla Ninja, comprising Piret, Katrin, Lenna and Triinu, have enjoyed enormous success throughout Europe, especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Their album Traces of Sadness, for example, went straight in to the German charts at number three and has gone gold.
The search has been on for a solo performer or group of no more than six for the challenging task of representing Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest. In addition to advertising this search publicly, representatives of SF DRS, TSR and TSI have been calling on the Swiss music industry to get involved. Newcomers were not considered, the requirements being television and stage experience, the production of at least one video and the issue of at least one CD placed among the top 50 in the official charts.

Don't want you to lead me to the dark
Don't need you to tear my heart apart
Don't do that, the people say that you're my enemy
I know you can set me free

Don't want ya to come so close to me
Don't need ya to blow my fantasy
But I know that you are leaving far beyond those lines
I can see the danger rise in your eyes

Cool vibes, why don't you kill me?
Cool vibes, why don't you turn your eyes away?
Can't you see we're free to die?
Cool vibes, all we can do is fight and pray

Cool vibes, why don't you thrill me? (Cool vibes)
Cool vibes, why don't you kill me?
All that I can see are shadows of my destiny

Don't want you to make me feel afraid
Don't need you to take away the hate
But I know that you will break the seal of history
Leave it to my fantasy, part with me

Cool vibes, why don't you kill me?
Cool vibes, why don't you turn your eyes away?
Can't you see we're free to die?
Cool vibes, all we can do is fight and pray

Cool vibes, why don't you thrill me? (Cool vibes)
Cool vibes, why don't you kill me?
All that I can see are shadows of my destiny

Stay close to me, infinity
Anyone want to share?
But I don't care
You'll be there

Cool vibes, why don't you kill me? (Cool vibes)
Cool vibes, why don't you turn your eyes away?
Can't you see we're free to die?
Cool vibes, all we can do is fight and pray

Cool vibes, why don't you thrill me? (Cool vibes)
Cool vibes, why don't you kill me? (Cool vibes)
All that I can see are shadows of my destiny
