Linda Martini, and you're right, they definitely deserve an international audience. The music reminded me of some familiar stuff, but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly. So that's good, sounds familiar but fresh. I like it.

Oh, I love this song. I obviously don't understand the lyrics, but it doesn't take away much from the song, although I know it would've been even better if I did. It's just that his voice, the color of it and the simple music carry so much emotion that I can appreciate it on a more visceral level.
