TU CANCIÓN


THIS IS HOW YOUR SONG WAS BORN:

Last fall, Raúl Gómez had just returned to Spain. After a year of training in London, the 24-year-old Sevillian composer returned to try his luck in music. But he got hooked on the new edition of Operación Triunfo (OT). Little by little he was bewitched by the love story of two contestants, Amaia and Alfred, who were getting to know each other naturally in front of the cameras of the channel 24 hours of the contest. "It was since they sang City of Stars, in gala 3 of the program. Since they began to look at each other that way ... ", recalls Gomez on the phone, who began to feel how a melody was born in his head.

The musician put together the duo with the artist Sylvia Santoro, her aunt, with whom she composed the lyrics.


The young musician, who has recently started composing songs for artists such as Rosa López and Blas Cantó, has the intuition that Your song can transcend the cultural differences of the countries that participate in Eurovision and  love Europe.

SING EDELWEISS

This song comes from the 1959 Broadway musical The Sound Of Music, which was made into a popular film in 1965.

 In the play, Captain Von Trapp uses it to describe the way he feels about his love for Austria that is slowly dying away due to the Nazis and the Third Reich.

 The song was written by the show's composers, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.

Viewers also had no idea that it's wasn't Plummer's voice on the song. The plan was to have him sing, but despite lessons he took before filming, his singing voice proved far from film quality (especially when juxtaposed with Julie Andrews) and a professional singer named Bill Lee was brought in to overdub his singing parts.
