This 21-year-old might be fresh-faced, but he comes armed with solid vocal chords. After a childhood of playing traditional folk music on the accordion in his little Swiss village of Hemberg (surrounded by picturesque hills and green meadows), Remo moved onto the piano.
Given time he might have found fame with his accordion skills but it was his singing that landed him victory at The Voice of Switzerland 2020 . He also triumphed in the German version of the music game show I Can See Your Voice .
If Eurovision fans think Watergun has a message, they’d be right. Remo says: ‘We are currently faced with global crises and war. And we must live with the consequences of decisions we didn't make. But I still hope we can change things. ’
Remo Forrer is an impressive young voice with wise words.
Lyrics to Watergun
When we were boys
We played pretend
Army tanks and army men
Hide and seek
Grow to be the kings we dream
Where did we go?
We're standin' on the frontline
Where did we go, we go?
I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
We ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run
No water guns
No, no, I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
'Cause we ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run
No water guns
Just body bags that we've bеcome
Adolescencе, breaking rules
Nothin' hurts when you‘re bulletproof
I remember, yes, I do, I do
Where did we go?
We're standin' on the frontline
Where did we go, we go?
I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
We ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run
No water guns
No, no, I don't wanna be a soldier, soldier
I don't wanna have to play with real blood
'Cause we ain't playin' now
Can't turn and run
No water guns
Just body bags that we've become
What we've become
What we've become
What we've become
Playing with waterguns
Not playing with waterguns
