Jon Gomm
Jon Gomm is an acoustic singer-songwriter with an incredible virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and sparkling melodies all at the same time, and combining styles from blues and jazz to rock and pop. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and songwriting however, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead.

Jon Gomm Lyrics
Born in your tiny prison cell
A million times smaller than you are
One single drop, and you're risen up
Afraid of the dark
Bloom
Bloom
You crack up through the pavement
In super, super slow motion
Though your back is gently breaking
You reach for the light
Bloom
Bloom
We can see everything
We can hear everything
We can see everything
We can hear everything
Weakness is not your weakness
You are what you grow into
You're not what you were
Bloom
Bloom

It's exactly 5 years since I uploaded this video. I remember after the first week I was really excited because it had reached about eight thousand views. Then: people happened. People all over the world, each having that sweet, private moment of discovery, and then telling everyone they knew, on their social media and blogs. A few weeks later, celebrities from Stephen Fry to Tommy Lee were sharing it. (They always catch up eventually!) Next thing I knew I was sitting on the couch on national TV breakfast news, nervously explaining why I was happy for the love but actually, no, I didn't want a record deal!
Eleven million views later, this video has taken me all over the world, from Australia to Mongolia. It's been like floating through Willy Wonka's tunnel at a million miles an hour, until every sense is overloaded. Now, I am calm (relatively) and settling into a new life with my baby, but writing new songs and getting ready to take them back on the road next year.
To me today, this video is a symbol of what we can do together, our minds and wills linked by technology. We can sink down, sure, we can post mindless abuse, we can seek petty confrontation from the safety of our sofas. But, we can also raise up, we can use our collective power to raise up other people, people we believe in. We can transform democracy, our societies. Direct action to change our world is no longer something we have to start alone, cautiously seeking out allies.
When the media tells you the internet only empowers predators and terrorists, it's because they are afraid. We don't need them any more, telling us what to think, who to hate, what to buy, how to vote. I am small, but we are legion.
Weakness is not your weakness.

Born in your tiny prison cell
A million times smaller than you are
One single drop and you're risen up
Afraid of the dark
You crack up through the pavement,
In super, super slow-motion
Though your back is gently breaking
You reach for the light
We can see everything
We can hear everything
Weakness is not your weakness
You are what you grow into
You're not what you were
Bless you!

My first time listening =
Me: "Wow, he is an amazing guitar player..."
Me:
Me: "Whoa, now he is actually tuning his guitar WHILE he plays..."
Me:
Me: "Percussion too?! He is somehow fitting in percussion?!"
Me:
Me: "Picking, strumming, tuning, percussion, and now he started singing too?!"
Me:
<waiting for him to start juggling too?>
