As Iceland had not finished the 2004 Contest in the top 10 , the song was performed in the semi-final . Here , it was performed tenth ( following the Netherlands ' Glennis Grace with " My Impossible Dream " and preceding Belgium 's Nuno Resende with " Le grand soir " ) . At the close of voting , it had received 52 points , placing 16th in a field of 25 - thus failing to qualify for the final and ensuring that Iceland would need to qualify from the semi-final at their next Contest appearance . The song had been favoured to progress to the final , based on Selma 's previous success at the 1999 Contest
