Alexander Rybak's Fairytale chorus from his Eurovision 2009 winning song, used in romantic, dreamy and nostalgic edits, wedding clips and Eurovision throwbacks.

This clip captures the soaring chorus of Alexander Rybak's Fairytale, led by bright violin, a driving folk-pop beat and his clear, joyful vocal singing about being in love with a fairytale. The melody rises quickly, feels light and romantic, and carries the playful energy that made the song a Eurovision favourite. Hearing it instantly brings back the image of Rybak performing with his violin, smiling through the chorus, and it gives a video an instant feeling of warmth, innocence and storybook romance. It works best when the moment on screen is sweet, hopeful or gently dramatic, rather than loud or ironic.

Fairytale was performed by Norwegian singer and violinist Alexander Rybak at the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow in 2009, where it won with a record score at the time and became an international hit. The song blends folk-pop with a prominent violin melody, and its chorus about being in love with a fairytale became its most recognisable part. It has stayed popular in Eurovision retrospectives, romantic edits and nostalgic playlists, because the melody is instantly familiar even to viewers who do not remember the contest itself.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it right as the couple, reveal or happy ending lands, letting the violin swell carry the emotion, then cut the music just before the chorus ends so the feeling lingers. Avoid layering it over dialogue, because Rybak's vocal and violin will compete for attention.
