2018 Dimash Kudaibergen, "S.O.S." 《A Soul's Plea for Help》

After many encounters with remarkable singers over the years, I have to put this guy up there as one of, if not the best singer in the World today. As an introductory to his power, range and extraordinary talent, listen to this rendition of S.O.S. from 2018. Since then, he has continued to wow and confound those of us following his performances on YouTube (His Wikipedia page)

N.B. It is sung in French.....English lyrics below video or switch on English subtitles in YouTube:-



Why do I live, why do I die
Why do I laugh, why do I cry
Here is the SOS
Of an earthling in distress
I never had my feet on the ground
I would rather be a bird
Feel bad in my own skin.

I'd like to see the world upside down
It could be more beautiful
Better from above
From above

I always mixed up my life
With old childish fantasies
It's like I need a metamorphosis
I feel something strange
That pulls me
That pulls me
That pulls me
upwards.

In the big lottery of the universe
I didn't pull the right number
I feel bad in my own skin.

It could be more beautiful
Better from above
From above

Why do I live, why do I die
Why do I laugh, why do I cry
I'm getting waves of air
Coming from another world.

I never had my feet on the ground
It could be more beautiful
Better from above
It could be more beautiful
Sleep now my child
