Since 2004 he brings together different european cultures, chanting in local Zurich-patois, Italian and English. About three years ago he hooked up with the backing band “The Dubby Conquerors” and they haven’t looked back ever since. In 2007 they recorded their first album “beweg di” (make a move) at the Scrucialists OneDrop Studios, which was released in October 2007.
The album's first single “Gib mer meh” received airplay on several national Swiss radio stations and stayed in heavy-rotation for months. The following two singles/videoclips were also heavily promoted on national tv and radio stations.
But the true core of his success is a live show so energetic and fully vibes-loaded, that - no matter where or when - you just can't resists dancing. Since the album release in Oct 2007, Elijah is constantly on tour, not only successfully crossing the language barrier between the French and the German part of Switzerland, but also playing shows all over central Europe.
It
Elijah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All these men, just trying to stay alive
Is this it?
There has to be something else
Is this all?
There has to be something else (something)
And now I know where it's been
You it's always been You
The lyrics of Elijah's song "It" speak to the struggles of life and the search for something more. The opening lines describe a sense of survival mode, where friends and men are just trying to make it through each day. The repetition of the question “Is this it?” suggests a sense of dissatisfaction with life, a feeling that there must be more to existence than just getting by. The lyrics then pose the question “Is this all?”, indicating a desire for something beyond the current situation.
The lyrics take a turn in the next lines, with the revelation that what has been missing is actually always present: “You it’s always been You.” This could be interpreted as a reference to a higher power, a relationship, or an internal realization that the answer has been within oneself all along. The final line, “And when I can’t You can”, reinforces the concept of relying on something greater than oneself during times of struggle.
Overall, the lyrics of "It" convey a sense of searching for meaning and purpose in life, and finding it in unexpected places. The use of repetition, questioning, and revelation allow the listener to connect with the universal themes of the song.

Moe Alomar
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
#Alwaysandforever #AgloriousRide
😢😢😢😫😷
And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
