Examples of popular Polish music?

Spot on !
Excellent post Pawian !

Yes, johhny. Such 2 guys like 3 of us easily make for 4!!!! :):):)

But where is the music post that this thread expects?

Forget our pearls. :):):)

Another good Polish Rock video.....and a true Polish pearl... :-)

Clueless. You have no idea whatsoever. Just copy and past at random. :):):)


Now you copy and past from me. Ha!!! AmaSSing! :):):)

What, exactly, did you not like about my post?
Not Punk enough for you Mr.Jerzy Notaste?

Why, do you get tired of reporting all the off topic posts to the Mods.in this sacred thread ?
All one has to do is Google 'Popular Polish Music' and see page after pages of it on u-tube.
Then you copy and paste them.
Looks like your girlfriend may have even caught on to your brilliance.

You are a serial liar.....I have never reported ANYONE for ANTHING to the Mods......unlike you.....


True, but I have been doing that for many years before I joined PF, I also have Polish family and friends both in Poland and the UK that advise me and have run a Polish Music forum for many years....... what,exactly, is your knowledge of Polish Music?

And stop copying Jerzy(Pawian) by polluting the music threads.

Learn to listen and your problems may start going away.

Rather than random videos, I've decided to continue posting songs with lyrics (and my rough translations) with some info on the artists...

Danuta Rinn (1936-2006) was more of an entertainer than strictly a singer (though that's how she began) or an actress (which she dabbled in). Her public persona was sort of a chaotic but fun wine aunt and I always liked her. She was the type who would have been a regular on variety shows (like Carol Burnett) if Poland had that type of thing.

A lot of her songs verge almost on novelty material but some are quite good.

Today's entry was debuted IINM at the 1988 Opole festival and features lyrics written by Ernest Brylll who died just a month ago and who wore a lot of hats, writer, poet, translator, songwriter and even diplomat - he was the Polish ambassador to Ireland 1991-95 and seemed to have a special affinity for the country)

This song is called either O jakbym (Oh it's like I....) or Zawiadowca (station master) a few songs seem to have the problem of multiple titles... O jakbym isn't the greatest title but the lyrics don't lend themselves to an obvious title... musically it doesn't sound like pop from 1988 as it's influenced by the big band sound that Rinn debuted in but it still works.

Anyhoo the lyrics are very clever, detailing a frustrated would be passenger in a small train station. Except that it's clear that it's a big metaphor for Poland itself in the twilight of the PRL - nothing works right, no one knows what's going on and all that you can do is wait for information from a loudspeaker). My favorite lyrics are about "Those who thought up a train that can't move" ie socialism who "changed life into... a provincial train station" Poland itself isolated and neglected while people wait for change that wasn't too long in coming.

Rinn delivers it with her usual infectious enthusiasm digging into the lyrics at face value and leaving it for the audience to get the message.



Oh.... it's like I slammed the door loud enough for the whole country to hear.
"But what of it?" they say "the doors don't close all the way."
Oh... it's like I wanted just once to open the window in the stuffy room
"But what of it?" - a sign of the times - the window's been bricked up.

So I sit on my bundle in front of a big loudspeaker.
And I listen to the crackle before it's revealed.
I'm waiting for the day that they take down the loudspeakers.
Although the waiting goes on and on... in a dirty station.

Oh.... it's like I packed up, went off to where they don't know me.
No one knows, if there's a train or not, they're not selling tickets.
The seller has a dumb face, but its strictly forbidden to ask questions,
Why do stupidy, fear and wind roar through the platforms?

(chorus)

I'm waiting for the day when instead of hoarse stupidity
Not the stationmaster, but one of use, will say in a normal voice:
"What are we waiting for? Huddled together like sheep?
Where are we going? Let the stationmasters go!
Those who thought up a train that can't move.
And who changed life into... a provincial train station."

(chor)

O... jakbym zatrzasnęła drzwi, żeby zagrzmiało w całym kraju,
Ale co z tego? - mówią mi - drzwi się nie domykają.
O... jakbym chciała chociaż raz otworzyć okno w dusznej sali,
Ale co z tego? ― taki czas ― okno zamurowali.

(ref)
Więc na tobołku siedzę swym przed wielkim megafonem
I słucham, co tam charczy w nim, nim będzie objawione.
Ja się doczekam tego dnia, gdy zdejmą megafony,
Choć to czekanie trwa i trwa... na dworcu zaśmieconym.

O... jakbym spakowała się, ruszyła tam, gdzie mnie nie znają,
Nikt nie wie, pociąg jest czy nie, biletów nie sprzedają.
Bileter mordę głupią ma, lecz pytać srogo zabronione,
Czemu głupota, strach i wiatr hulają po peronach?

(ref)

Ja się doczekam tego dnia, gdy zamiast głupot schrypłych
Nie zawiadowca, lecz ktoś z nas, tak powie głosem zwykłym:
"Na co my tu czekamy, stłoczeni niby owce?
Dokąd my wyjeżdżamy? Niech jadą zawiadowcy!
Ci, którzy wymyślili pociąg, co iść nie może,
I życie zamienili... w prowincjonalny dworzec".

(ref)

Oh'I see that you have bought into the trolls narrative.....more fool you.... and it's a shame that your post was terrible.....lyrics not withstanding.....

This is proper music.....



Rather than random videos, I've decided to continue posting songs with lyrics

Good maf! That`s my style too.


In each post you prove you have no idea whatsoever. It is a blessing for you to lack basic intelligence so you don`t realise your pathetic mental condition. :):):)


Yes, that`s your deplorable style here. :(:(:(:( Nie do rymu, nie do taktu, włóż se palec do kontaktu hahahaha buhahahaha

Don't you dare insult Rinn!

I love talking about music but more than just posting something and saying it's great or reacting to something and saying it sucks... boring.

I like discussion.


My thoughts exactly!

Yes, it is a very primitive approach. That is why I hardly ever post here coz my input would be lost among trash by Milo or Joker who have no idea about Polish music.


I remember Rinn from communist times, like late 1970s and early 1980s. To the best of my knowledge, after the martial law 1981 she joined the patriotic opposition so communists banned her from their media.

I have a number of posts planned (mostly prl era) but I'm not expecting much interaction... I'm doing it for myself because it's fun.

I welcome comments pro or con but thoughtful comments are best.

It was crap!What else can I do?


No you don't, you are almost as bad as the trolls, Jim and Jerzy.....

I would suggest taking some anger management classes for a start.

Hey joker, you like good guitar.
What do you think of Eric Johnson ?
He is one of my all-time favorites.
Can he wail on his git fiddle or what !
(Give him 60 seconds to get into it)

Off topic... what does he think about particular Polish guitarists?

I don't know enough about guitars to really make fine judgements....but I knew a British guy who was very much into guitars in the 1990s and he really admired a particular Polish guitarist.... which might that be?

My bad
I posted that in the wrong thread.
Maybe the Mod could move it to the back page music thread for us


Jimi Hendrix ?

Not Polish....

My bad humor.

Question:
I know this app (Shazam) is very old however I just wondered if it is available in Poland.
I used to use it a long time ago.
It helps identify the name of a song.
All you do is put your cell phone next to the source of the music and it identifies it.

shazam.com/

A simple yes or no would be sufficient to save the shame games. 🌼

Shazam exists in Poland. I used it yesterday.


Check it out nowadays. It has various new features.

My posts tonight may not go down too well with our more nationalist or racist posters on this forum but WTF!
Poland is, very slowly, becoming more multi cultural.

Another example how Poland, very slowly, is beginning to embrace multi culturalism.

It's probably not a view held by many on this forum, but I think Mesajah is a huge talent!

We don't see it like you have to.
Is that Muzzy guy still living in your basement with your daughter ?
How many kids do they have now grandpa ?

Still having to ignore the trolls on here.... here is another Polish guy that has embraced Reggae.
