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.
Where Is The Love
Elijah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To just get close to you
Now I can't even hide
This home just isn't mine
Where is my home
Cause I don't know
Where is my home I feel alone
Where should I go
Where is my home
Do I belong
I want to find a place
That will not be replaced
To find a place called home
And not be on my own
Where is my home
Cause I don't know
Where is my home I feel alone
Where is my home
Where should I go
Where is my home
Do I belong
Where is my home
Cause I don't know
Where is my home I feel alone
Where is my home
Where should I go
Where is my home
Do I belong
Ooooohhhh
These lyrics from Elijah's song "Where Is Love" express a sense of loneliness and loss of home. The singer is searching for a place to belong and feel welcome, but does not know where to turn. The first verse expresses a desire to be close to someone, but the singer feels unable to do so because their current home does not feel like their own. The repetition of the phrase "where is my home" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's feeling of displacement and not knowing where they belong. The chorus reflects this confusion, as the singer questions where they should go and whether they belong anywhere at all.
This longing for home and belonging is a common theme in music, literature, and art. It speaks to the fundamental human desire for connection and roots. In this way, Elijah's song is relatable and emotive, capturing a feeling that many listeners can identify with. The somber tone of the song, emphasized by the minor key and slow tempo, adds to the sense of melancholy and contemplation. Overall, "Where Is Love" is a poignant and introspective song about finding a sense of home and belonging in the world.

Just wondering what to do
I am unsure of what actions to take
To just get close to you
To be near you is my desire
Now I can't even hide
It is impossible for me to conceal my feelings
This home just isn't mine
The place I thought was my home, now feels foreign
Where is my home
I do not know where I belong
Cause I don't know
I lack the knowledge to answer my own question
I feel alone
I feel isolated and lonely
Where should I go
I am searching for a direction to take
Do I belong
I am questioning if I am wanted or accepted
I want to find a place
I desire to discover a location
That will not be replaced
A place that will remain constant and not change
To find a place called home
To discover a place where I feel welcomed and safe
And not be on my own
To find a place where I am not alone
Ooooohhhh
(vocalization of emotion)
