Kwiat Jabłoni ft. Julia Pietrucha - "Drogi proste"
What a superb post!I have heard of them but not investigated them properly..... I need to look deeper. They mix Country and Blues with a huge dollop of Polish influence.Superb!
I am so pleased to see that some people are trying to keep this thread alive.I was weaker than you and gave up when it was getting little response. Good luck with your efforts!I hope enough posters join and support this thread! Lenka, your post was superb!
@Lenka Obviously not filmed in Poland.I somehow missed the flute in there but heard plenty of good Sax.
Not a bad song though!
I have followed Mela Koteluk for many years now because I love her voice and music. So I am just posting songs from her tonight.This song title roughly translates as "Why trees say nothing".
This song title translates as "Walk Away".
This song was the title track to her debut album and translates as "Parachute".
This is my last post from Mela Koteluk tonight, I struggle to understand the point of her lyrics, no, that is not because of my poor Polish, but because the lyrics are rather obscure, but perhaps they are meant to be.The song title means "Invisible" and the extensive use of red and white in the video adds to the mystery about what this song is about.Whatever!It's a great song!
It has been revealed recently - the brother and sister duo from Kwiat Jabłoni aka Apple Flower are children of another popular musician - Kuba Sienkiewicz, the leader of a famous rock group Electric Guitars. The kids kept it secret for a few years to avoid being promoted by their father`s fame.
I went to Electric Guitars` concert in mid 1990s. At the end of each of their gigs, they played this song - This is the end. No, not a copy of the Doors!
This is the end, there is nothing left, We are free, we can go This is the end, we can go, We are free, because there is nothing left
A little bug in its hole like a professor behind a desk, And a bee on flowers like a tram inspector, So it picks and pokes, writes, invents, Goes around, dirty, cleans, And a bush by the road and a brother by the typewriter, Like a salesman's foot in a sock in a canteen, A pebble in the field and a guard on guard, The fridge is still cold, the stove is still hot, And why, why does it pick and poke like that, And for what, for what does it think and pluck like that, And so it applies itself and speaks from the screen, And raves for years in the evening and in the morning...
With all the "Pop and Rap Music" happening in Poland, people forget that Poland also has a very active and very good Prog Rock and Metal Scene going on too.
Probably Poland's greatest ever Prog Rock band..... Riverside....
I would class this as "Prog/Metal" and it is at least as good as any of the stuff coming out of the "Anglosphere".......
I'll end tonight with an oldie from 1979 (Communist times!)
.I somehow missed the flute in there but heard plenty of good Sax.
Words fail me!
Oh come on!The flute features at the very beginning of the song and at the end of it.For the rest of the song it is at best a tiny part of the song. The main player is the Sax towards the end. Funny how we all hear music differently.... :-)
Normal. I like what I hear but after about a minute it's starting to be too much. The same way I'm not really into concerts even of the artists I like. I like their songs and all but big concert, the way it sounds is just too much for me.. I went to rawa blues once. The big concerts weren't my thing. But after, sitting on the floor in some bar listening to the same type of music- heaven.
