2) Berlin-based ELI has released his latest track “Ghosts” with an accompanying video and it is exactly what the doctor ordered. An upbeat track with relatable lyrics. With a massive 70,000,000 collective streams on all platforms for his track “Change Your Mind”, this 22-year-old singer, songwriter has already set the German pop music scene ablaze. Speaking of the new track, ELI says “‘Ghosts’ is about that moment after a breakup when you feel incredibly lonely, yet, at the same time, you have a feeling that this person you parted ways with is still haunting you. Like a ghost by your side, that doesn’t let go”.
Born into a showbiz family, ELI was always sure that he wanted to make music, it just took him time to find his niche. Having learnt everything from the drums to the violin, it wasn’t until he found the guitar that his passion truly emerged. This young popstar has been splitting his time between L.A. and Germany, writing new music and playing top festivals. Last year saw ELI played the mainstage at Lollapalooza, as well as selling out a 14-date tour across Germany. With an exuberant sound that echoes Post Malone, ELI is certainly one to watch as his effortless voice feels like a tonic for current troubles.

Morning Has Broken
Eli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
The song "Morning Has Broken" is a hymn that was first recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam, in 1971. The lyrics of the song talk about the dawning of a new day and the beauty and wonder of nature. The first verse talks about the breaking of dawn- "Morning has broken, like the first morning." The second line states, "Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird," which could be taken as a metaphor for the start of a new day when birds start to sing.
The chorus is essentially about expressing gratitude for the beauty of the morning- "Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, praise for them springing fresh from the world." The second verse gives a description of the beauty of a new morning, "Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven, like the first dewfall, on the first grass, praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, sprung in completeness where his feet pass." This verse is also a metaphor for the start of a new day, with the rain representing the challenges life presents, and the sweetness of the wet garden symbolizes the beauty that comes despite those challenges. The third verse reflects on the fact that every new day is a new creation of God's, "Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning, born of the one light, Eden saw play, praise with elation, praise every morning, God's recreation of the new day."
