about

Jesse's entry to Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (Finnish song contest for Eurovision participant).


With Glow, drawing influences from Afro-pop, Markin deals with growth and emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, especially during challenging life situations. This uplifting song serves a reminder to never give up, as you never know what will wait around the corner.

lyrics

LYRICS: Jesse Markin

VERSE:
black velvet rose
holding it close
this is certainly about energy
something elementary
got different trajectory
smile down on my memories
pray for all my enemies
while, mentally testing me
setting the tone
everyday it unfold
so simply out of necessity
I'm doing me, definitely
steady approach, never letting it go
but singing out my own melody
like a caged bird, set me free
let em see better how I done it
it is up to you what you are taking from it
these are tools we can teach how to use from a seed to a fruit
c'est la vie, keep it coming
seem like the light of a day that was promised
healing up the bruise, feeling new all sudden
be what is you, as unique like a jewel from a seed to a fruit, c'est la vie, know

CHORUS:
they gonna see that anywhere that you go
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it glow
they gonna see that
anywhere that you go - oh - oh - oh
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it
they gonna see that
anywhere that you go - oh - oh - oh
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it

VERSE:
for tomorrow
time is borrowed
so you either move or just let it be
it's all done essentially
with the heart, not separately
still about integrity
how you take those lemons
squeeze this, then write your recipe
definitely the way that I want it
worst you could do
is to choose doing nothing
steady on the move
instead of waiting for a route
you can make it, no excuse
it is true, so become it
light up the room like a bloom
which is stunning
it is up to you
what you are taking from it
be what is you, as unique like a jewel from a seed to a fruit, c'est la vie, know

CHORUS:
they gonna see that anywhere that you go
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it glow
they gonna see that
anywhere that you go - oh - oh - oh
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it
they gonna see that
anywhere that you go - oh - oh - oh
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it
they gonna see that anywhere that you go
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it glow
they gonna see that

anywhere that you go - oh - oh - oh
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it

BRIDGE:
you're gonna make, you're gonna make you're gonna make it
you're gonna make, you're gonna make you're gonna make it
you're gonna make, you're gonna make you're gonna make it
from a seed to a fruit, c'est la vie, know

CHORUS:
they gonna see that anywhere that you go
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it glow
they gonna see that
anywhere that you go - oh - oh - oh
you're gonna make it you're gonna make it
