Slik: the song by Dotan moves me...

What do you bring out after you've been publicly slaughtered? What can you still do well when you're under a magnifying glass? Ask an artist what their biggest fear is and nine times out of ten you'll get the answer: not being heard anymore. ‘If the curtain were to close forever. The final chord played. I hide with you,’ Marco Borsato once sang poignantly. After the whole troll army debacle fans walked away. His name was smeared with a scandal. He took a long time to lick his wounds, but now Dotan is back. ‘Oh… feel the weight of the world in my bones. Try to swim but I’m sinking alone…’. Jesus, my heart breaks. Is it just me or is this perhaps his deepest, rawest, most honest song ever? You fall. You are a human. You are not perfect. You get up. You learn. ‘Numb’ is ten times more powerful than I ever expected.

Welcome back, friend. I have missed your delightful voice.
