What are you listening to?

I would never have thought I’d post a song from the Eurovision Song Contest. For a start: I am highly disinterested in the whole circus and didn’t watch it this year either but then I accidentally (?) came across the Swiss contribution - and the singer for that matter - a day after the competition.

This singer strikes me as a completely different type altogether: he is unusually deep, seems engaging and kind in the interviews I have since watched and has the courage to be himself on stage. He dances as himself - mainly unchoreographed (from what I can tell) and is really present and then you hear his voice, which is out of this world and then you read his name: Gjon’s Tears. He certainly did move me to tears. I think this young man could be an inspiration for his generation and beyond - provided he manages to stay somewhat grounded…


 

Acoustic session.

Home, I'm making my way home
My mind's already there
Yes, my mind is

Light, you're with me in the dark
Light my way at night
Let your light shine

Now, this burden weighs me down
The heaviest of weights
Knocks me to the ground
Right down to the

Dew that sparkles on the ground
Blue mountains loom above
Blue mountains loom

And I walk alone one wish
Won't be forgotten
Never forget that

Long, is the path ahead
And though my body tires
And I have far to go
I know I'm going home

Know I'm going home
Know I'm going home
Know I'm going home
Know I'm going home

Home, I'm making my way home
My mind's already there
Yes, my mind is

Light, you're with me in the dark
Light my way at night
Let your light shine

Now, this burden weighs me down
The heaviest of weights
Knocks me to the ground

This burden weighs me down
Burden weighs me down
Burden weighs me down
Burden weighs me down
The soul speaking from the outer dimensions! :D

As you have seen above, he is also a conductor:
