Switzerland SWITZERLAND 2021 - Gjon's Tears - Tout l’univers

[escYOUnited]

Laisse le vent qui frôle
Sa main sur mon épaule
Le vide dans ma tête
Pas la moindre cachette

C'est l'aube qui décline
Derrière un champ de ruines
Le moment de grandir
Ne pas te retenir

Je vois derrière nous des morceaux de toi
Et ce que la douleur a fait de moi

Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles où tout éclate
Se trouver au point d'impact
Sans toi

Que deviendront nos souffles
S'ils restent sur le bord?
Cet amour qui nous tord

Je vois derrière nous des morceaux de toi
Et ce que la douleur a fait de moi

Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles où tout éclate
Se trouver au point d'impact
Sans toi
Derrière mes paupières
Trouver de l'air

(Ah)
Tout l'univers
Nos deux cœurs sous la terre
Au milieu des failles et des ressacs
Nous nous retrouvons au point d'impact
Comment soigner nos coeurs qui éclatent?
Tout l'univers​

Last year I heard the Swiss entry and knew it was winner potential and I got 20/1 just before they went so one of the favourites. This year I had sneaking suspicion he would go all out so I put £2.50 e/w at 25/1 now its the favourite to win... Not as good as my Netherlands 2014 at 250/1 but I'll be happy with winning £166.

Cheers Gjon's Tears - Let's hope for Lugano 2022

 

[Geborgenheit]

J'aime. Reminds me Calogero.

 

[innou]

He gave it a spin in his Instagram stories and he sounds GOOD. I have a feeling this will benefit from the live version (if ofc SJB doesn't turn it into a clownfest)

 

[Franzilein]

What is this song about actually?

Whta is the message of it?

Is there somewhere a good English translation to find?

I speak a bit of French and found this translation quite fitting https://lyricstranslate.com/en/tout-lunivers-whole-universe.html#songtranslation

Shitty lyrics : your broke my heart, i'm all alone in the universe, cry cry....

Still not understand why peoples want the same winning song after 2 years of Arcade...
And except a complete boredom, he give no emotion in the short instagram live, he can scream...good for him.

It fits him. And somehow the French language goes well with sad songs.

After Melflopfest and the downgrade by Iceland

It may be safe to say it could be Bulgaria v Switzerland

Waiting for Malta to destroy me but otherwise I'm on the hype train for Lausanne 2022

It's true!

French as a singing language has some kind of an atmospheric aura that seems to shiver people who don't even understand the poetic lyrics.

 

[Zeus]

Classy and magical song. The only thing the singer will need to focus on is to not only just sing these high notes, but make them feel effortless, soft and emotional. If it will be too crispy and too much trying and struggling with these high notes, it will take away the concentration and smoothness of the song.

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

So after all the songs being released it seems Switzerland is establishing themselves as the pre-rehearshals front runner. This gives them a huge advantage as the hype alone will help them attract a lot of attention and get a heads-up with the voting.
As much as I love the song, I still have doubts as to whether it will manage to top the jury and/or the televote. The juries will be more likely go for something more mainstream and in English like Sweden. And there's always the possibility of a surprise jury winner like in 2018 and 2019, it seems to be becoming a tradition. I also believe that Lithuania and Iceland have a higher chance of topping the televote. Still Gjon looks the more likely to get around 250 from both and be the overall winner.

destiny did tbh

lausanne or valletta 2022 then

 

[Fluke]

Calling it now, this is it. This is the winner.

Everything's set up for it. It resembles no other song this year, all the "female empowerment" and nonsensical dance bangers will lose points to each other while this will stand out alone.

It's a non-English ballad that manages to avoid bland whinyness and take a unexpected turn halfway that still becomes a natural progression from beginning to end. It's fresh and contemporary yet anthemic in a classic way we seldom hear in ESC anymore, in such a way it almost redefines what West and South European countries might send in the future.

He's the only returning artist along with Destiny to send a song that's universally agreed upon to be better than their previous, and he was even in the favorites to win last year. Switzerland coming back from pretty much no success in the contest to do well only in 2019 makes it even more dramatic, and i see a Salvador Sobral-like super victory within reach, and i don't even have any idea what the possible #2 might be right now.

I'm still not sure if it's my personal favorite, but now that we have all the entries, i think there are no strong contestors for the win.

That's quite an overstatement for Destiny's entry this year. l will leave it at that.

God Fluke, I hope you're right! I like France too, but right now I'm feeling Switzerland is pulling me into its orbit with each passing day. Gjon's vocals are just phenomenal, and I hope Sacha Jean-Baptiste gives the song the staging it deserves

I really think this could win given all the dance bangers on show this year, a strong song like "Tout l'univers" will really stand out

 

[Preuss]

Is it confirmed that Sacha Jean-Baptiste is staging this one?

 

[midnightsun]

Gjon said so in an interview.

 

[harey]

I don't like Arcade, I don't like Répondez-moi and now I see people comparing Tout l'univers to Arcade and not surprisingly, I don't like it. Well, at least I can see a pattern on songs I don't like. And the title make me think of a title for children's book about space.
