Home is a song by the Israeli singer Kobi Marimi and the country's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv . Due to Israel's role as host, the song was already set in advance for the final on May 18, 2019. There he reached number 23.
Music and lyrics
Home is a pop - ballad , accompanied by piano music. It is about the search for inner identity and strength. Marimi dedicated the song to all those “who feel inferior and excluded.” The chorus says: “I feel the sun upon my skin / And I am someone, I am someone / You pulled my heart, I took it in / It made me someone, I am someone / And now I'm done, I'm coming home "(" I feel the sun on my skin / And I am someone, I am someone / You pulled my heart, I turned it over inside / It made me someone, I am someone / And now I'm done, I'm coming home ”).
background
The song was written by the songwriters and musicians Ohad Shragai and Inbar Wizman (LUKAH) and selected by a team of experts at the Israeli broadcaster KAN. Marimi said he was very moved the first time he heard it: "When I first heard the song I was very moved by it, and I immediately connected to it." The song suits him perfectly. The song was selected from over 200 submissions, 30 percent more than in previous years. The lyrics are completely in English, which Marimi accommodates, who sang exclusively in English in the preliminary round HaKokhav HaBa L'Eurovizion .
