At the heart of his appeal is a lyrical honesty and devotion to his fans seldom found in today's mainstream musical landscape. And his fans love him for it. As testament to this artist-fan connection, out of 1,700 artists entered in the SSL/Eventful/Tunecore "Lay It Down And Mix It Up In The UK" Contest, Gavin took first place, winning by a margin of over 13,000 votes and more than doubling the number of votes cast for the second place finisher. Having won, Gavin traveled to Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios to begin work on his new studio album (due for release in 2013). Like his previous offerings, the album is sure to please fans and critics alike, showcasing his poignant lyrics, true musicianship, and further setting him apart from other artists in the piano singer-songwriter genre. Talented, down-to-earth, and with songs that touch the soul, Gavin is truly one to watch in 2013.

Satu saja senyumanmu beri indah hariku
Jadikan rindu setiap waktu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gavin Mikhail's "Someone Like You" express intense emotions of love, adoration and devotion towards a significant other. The singer describes how one smile from his beloved can brighten up his entire day, and how he has been waiting for a long time to express his love for her. The repeated phrase, "forever my heart, forever my soul, forever my own", showcases the depth of the love he feels and how it will last for eternity. He cannot forget nor let go of her, as she is the only one for him.

The phrase, "Suddenly there's someone like you," implies that the singer has possibly been waiting for this love for a long time or has been hurt in the past and is now grateful to have finally found someone who reciprocates his feelings. The overall mood of the song is romantic and nostalgic, amplified by the repetitive phrases and the usage of soft vocals.

I absolutely love your voice and playing. You have such a nice voice to listen to- it's soft (in a good way) and is extraordinarily expressive without overdoing it as most people tend to. Keep it up! It's gorgeous. And of course you're pretty handsome so that's a bonus. Confidence boost for you!

I found out about you from someone and I listened to one of your vids and I can't stop listening. Your voice is addictive. I literally just created an account on YouTube just so I can subscribe. I created it today as a matter of fact. I hope that doesn't sounds as stalker-ish as I think it does. It doesn't does it? Anyway, I seriously love your voice. It made me cry...in a good way. ^^

This is the only version i've heard where the singer has not been totally enslaved by this dreary melody.You took control and gave this song the feeling it has never had before.Very good my friend.,

@gavinmikhail Big fan Gavin. Always love your covers. :) Particularly this one as I'm going through a breakup right now. But I was wondering, in lieu of what you said about smiling and covering songs, how about in the next cover you do an upbeat pop song (for example) with a smile? I know those of us who have watched many of your videos would love the turnaround - kinda like a good laugh after a good cry :) Just a suggestion anyway. Looking forward to the next cover / original either way :)

Such a wonderful talent; from singer to singer, you have a treasure voice so please keep it safe, ok? he he he he I wish I could ever see you singing in live or even singing with my favourite ever singer Josh groban; that would be an amazing gift for the ears. I've been following your work for close to 2 years though and I love it since. Appreciate your delicate style when singing; feeling the music you're playing/singing and making it a part of yourself. Hugh from Spain & thank you!!

I wish you'd stuck with the original chord progression in the verses. I realize you're playing it in E flat, and Adele's is in A. It sounds too simplified with only the two chords back and forth, though. Vocally, I absolutely LOVE what you did with it. Your choice of phrasing was great. :)
