Justs (Latvia): 'Heartbeat'

Written by: A.Savadogo

Justs won the opportunity to sing for Latvia in Stockholm after winning the Latvian national selection competition, Supernova, in February.

The 21-year-old singer's entry - 'Heartbeat' - was written by last year's Latvian Eurovision representative Aminata.

I have hitchhiked with my guitar from Latvia to Paris and back
Justs

Justs names Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, The Neighbourhood and Glass Animals among his musical influences.

He's also studying to become a vocal coach for popular and jazz music and his long-term goal is opening an alternative music school.

Lyrics - 'Heartbeat'

I know you told so many times
So many words in different rhymes
But I don’t feel the same
I wasn’t innocent I know
And things I did for sure were wrong
The time has passed... So long...

Feeling your heartbeat
That’s what I want
That’s what I need
Feeling again that you’re breathing with me

I’m getting wild when I’m alone
I learned by heart – you’re not my own
But I never asked you to belong
You’re my desire and my pain
But all the battles are in vain
You mean more than anything to me

Feeling your heartbeat
That’s what I want
That’s what I need
Feeling again that you’re breathing with me (2x)

You’re the one I need
You’re the air that I breathe
Don’t throw my heart away
I want you to stay

Feeling your heartbeat
That’s what I want
That’s what I need
Feeling again that you’re breathing with me
