“Somebody like you” is the name of the new song by Irish superstar Johnny Logan. Folk and rock sounds blend into a perfect melange here. The song has a serious background, as it reflects the suffering of many people during the corona period, which, as is well known, hit musicians particularly hard due to the continuous performance bans. Only the solidarity among each other and the help of friends ensured the survival of many artists.
Johnny Logan comments: “The song was written during the Covid epidemic. It’s about the people who helped us get through this difficult time and gave us the strength to keep looking positively into the future. The song is therefore very important to me. It is a sincere thank you to all the helping and compassionate people during this dark time.”
Folky acoustic guitars introduce the song, only to be replaced in the chorus by a heavy wall of sound of crashing drums and powerful rock guitars. The lyrics are lyrical and haunting, turned towards hope. “Whole worlds on fire, skies turning red. Nobody knows which road to choose. I’m chasing shadows, through the storm-clouds in my head. My song of faiths, redemption blues. And in the middle of it all there’s you.”
In its highly emotional way, “Somebody like you” is a sharp look back and a thank you at the same time. The song grabs the listener from the very first minute and it is certainly not wrong to say that it is, in its own way, one of Johnny Logan’s best songs.
We are mothers, we are daughters, we are fathers, we are sons,
We are invincible, when we are one.
