Startnummer 2 i finalen 2024 i Stockholm
Artist: Jay Smith
Bidrag: Back to My Roots
Låtskrivare: Jonas Jurström, Jonathan Keyes, Jay Smith, Maria Jane Smith och Victor Thell.
Jay Smith är en americana- och countryinspirerad artist som debuterar i Melodifestivalen med “Back to My Roots“. Han har skrivit bidraget tillsammans med bland andra sin halvsyster Maria Jane Smith och Victor Thell, det vill säga den framgångsrika duon Smith & Thell.
Efter att ha vunnit Idol 2010 släppte han debutalbumet Jay Smith, som inkluderade hans hyllade tolkning av “Like A Prayer”. Därefter har han fortsatt att släppa musik, bland annat singeln “God Damn You“, som i dag har över fem miljoner strömningar.
2019 kom hans senaste album, Young Guns, som färgats av hans passion för amerikansk country.
Under åren fram till 2024 har Jays musikstil utvecklats till en mix av core-country med inslag av pop, där berättandet står i centrum.
Låtens text:
Been hiding in blind sight
A ghost in the bar light
Heavy hearted with regret
This life, it taught me step by step
Been good with the bad lies
And bad with the goodbyes
Slowly waking from the dead
Now there’s a new road just ahead
And I’ve learnt ´bout luck
And a lot about love
And how to pick up the pieces
It’s been tough
But if I got us
I ain’t gonna break that easy
Oh, I’ve taken so many turns
Been lonely out in the dark
Now I’m heading back to the start
I’m back to my roots now baby
Oh, you think that I’ll crash and burn
But I’m lucky I fell apart
Got a fire and a country heart
I’m back to my roots now baby
A song for the broken
And forgotten
Here’s to all you walking dead
And I’m here to hold your heavy heads
And I’ve learnt ´bout luck
And a lot about love
And how to pick up the pieces
It’s been tough
But if I got us
I ain’t gonna break that easy
Oh, I’ve taken so many turns
Been lonely out in the dark
Now I’m heading back to the start
I’m back to my roots now baby
Oh, you think that I’ll crash and burn
But I’m lucky I fell apart
Got a fire and a country heart
I’m back to my roots now baby
I’m back playing with fire
Thanks for all that I’ve learnt
This time I´ll reach higher
Spite the bridges I’ve burnt
I’m back playing with fire
Ain’t afraid to get burnt
I ain’t gonna break that easy
Oh, I’ve taken so many turns
Been lonely out in the dark
Now I’m heading back to the start
I’m back to my roots now baby
Oh, you think that I’ll crash and burn
But I’m lucky I fell apart
Got a fire and a country heart
I’m back to my roots now baby
(I’m back to my roots now)
Back to my roots now baby
(I’m back to my roots now)
I’m back to my roots now baby
(I’m back to my roots now)
(I’m back to my roots now)
I’m back to my roots now baby
