From social media to a stage near you. Simon Robert French blew up online with some healthy view counts, chief among them an acoustic strummer and our highlighted track “Robert’s Place.” Over 10M views on TikTok. We’ll include a link to the Youtube version in case you want to see the lyrics altogether in one place. What about the song hit a nerve with people? It’s a melancholy, yet hopeful ballad about finding the strength to carry on after someone you love has passed away. A delicate subject, which the musician interprets with graceful understatement that gives the lyrics space and time to make their emotional weight felt.
