About the song
"Tout l'Univers" (which translates to "Whole / Whole Universe") is the song that earned Switzerland third place in the Eurovision 2021 international song contest. As he himself tells us Gjon's TearsHe wanted to send a message of hope, positivity and determination to people:
"In these times, which are more difficult than ever, it is very important for all of us to keep hope alive... We must not give up! We must remain strong no matter what... Only through love, friendship, strength and courage can we rebuild the future... I am convinced: even in times of pandemic, it is possible to rediscover and reinvent ourselves..."
Gjon's Tears co-wrote this encouraging song with the writers of Wouter Hardy, Nina Sampermans и Xavier Michel. The artist opted for sonic diversity - solos, choir, piano and strings, as well as contemporary rhythms - as he felt this gave the piece a unique mood... The song finds its first inspiration in the theme of growing up in the worldwhich is often empty, harsh and cold: "Empty in my head, nowhere to hide, dawn fades behind a field of ruins...". But gradually the chorus enters into an even more important and central theme of the song: it all comes down to loving each other and taking the risk to love again, even if we have been hurt in the past:
"Whole Universe,
Where our two hearts are buried underground,
In the middle of the ruins, where everything explodes,
I'm right in the middle of it
Without you..."
These words seem to be coined to encourage us to realise that in the beautiful love between two people. there's an insane amount of power... And when we allow ourselves to let go of the emptiness left by past relationships and open ourselves up to love again, everything becomes truly possible! It's an inspiring message that could really hit you with the combination of the singer's emotional delivery and the elaborate staging in Rotterdam! Actually, let's move on to the performance itself.....
