[@Hemiauchenia]

I honestly think this could win Eurovision nowadays. It's so unique and atmospheric.

[@snowcold5932]

It sounds like it comes from another world

[@Euroviking86]

This song is like being enveloped by a wall of ageless sound. It's just brilliant in every way.

[@nunovski2002]

This is for me one of the Eurovision greats. We don't care about the placing; it will stay in our memory forever.

[@Clavinovaman]

1997 was one of the best ever Eurovisions. Probably 15 good songs.

[@trabik601]

​@@Clavinovaman Right, but in my my opinion the winner didn't deserve first place

[@Clavinovaman]

@@trabik601 Oh it was a great performance.

[@philipdawson7800]

Poland 1996 & 1997 are 2 of my 25 favorite Eurovision songs of all time. It's truly a crime neither of them even finished top-10.

[@JeSuisRene]

A masterpiece in every sense of the word. I’m surprised this only finished 11th...

[@axelx4770]

One of the best Eurovision songs ever. Pure magic.

[@Clavinovaman]

Indeed. But 1997 was actually one of the best ever Eurovisions. Most of the songs were good.

[@eurodara]

@@Clavinovaman Yes, very strong edition.

[@smerf8128]

The best 1997

[@andymar9117]

The best polish entry, ever

[@Enigma83527]

Piękna Anamarija! Powitanie z braterskiej Chorwacji!

[@aerindiva6484]

Magıcal song

[@alphabibo]

GREAT orchestration here!! amazing wall of sound really!!

[@1978TVP]

perfectly remember when anna enchanted irish audience in the studio live. such piece of voice....

[@esterherschkovich6499]

Bring back live Eurovision and countries singing in their own language 🙂

[@SuperJNG18]

One of the songs that got me into Eurovision. One of the best in a year full of greats, so I'm surprised it just missed the top ten. '93-'97 is a golden era of Eurovision. So many good songs.

[@JeSuisRene]

Totally agree, 93-97 is the best era of Eurovision.

[@SuperJNG18]

@@JeSuisRene What's weird is that I heard it was when industry opinion of Eurovision was at its lowest because of how many times Ireland won. Look, for better or worse, they made countries think a lot less commercially, and we got better music from it.

[@JeSuisRene]

@@SuperJNG18 we did, though at no point in the 90s did I believe Ireland should have won (I know, unpopular opinion)! 90. Yugoslavia 91. Sweden 92. Malta 93. Switzerland 94. Germany 95. Spain 96. Sweden 97. United Kingdom 98. United Kingdom 99. Iceland

[@SuperJNG18]

@@JeSuisRene I'll argue with you on '94 and '96, both of which I felt were earned (although on some days I think Hungary should've won in '94, but not every day). My winners of the 90s: 90: France 91: Israel or Iceland 92: France 93: Denmark 94: Ireland 95: Norway 96: Ireland 97: United Kingdom 98: Netherlands 99: Iceland or Austria

[@JeSuisRene]

@@SuperJNG18 in 94, they had a really good song, but the winning margin does annoy me when there were many good songs. Re 96, it is the best of Ireland's winners in the 90s, definitely, and was one of the great songs of 96 (along with Cyprus, Estonia, Malta, Austria, Portugal, Norway and Sweden).

[@ylevy5]

Pure. Divine. Magical

[@grambi]

Still love this one 22 years after!

[@sandrawales7192]

Such a wonderful song Just an amazing performance of Poland🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒

[@autorail46]

Chanter dans la langue originale, c est beaucoup mieux que le tout anglais et c est ça l eurovision

[@ShhImASpy]

Celebration of Life. Amazing.

[@martikag]

That's it! This is what the song is about. Perfectly said:)

[@kSmolarkowa]

Mam ciarki gdy słucham tej piosenki. Genialna!

[@nealtaylor17]

The best Polish entry ever, (so far), should of been top three with UK and Italy.

[@JeSuisRene]

I’d have written that comment word for word 😅

[@sendowitos8303]

The best Polish entry ever is Edyta Gorniak my friend.

[@belinea282]

Amazing song and performance. Diamond from Poland - my country. Bravo Anna.

[@Botafogoplayground]

One of the few Polish entries I like. Great song!

[@Brians-Easy-Low-Tech-Solutions]

Wonderful stuff. Beautifuly sewn together.

[@florianfreitag9407]

Haunting, dark, sexy, mysterious, weird, playful - this one is all of this!

[@arildolsen4232]

23 years on, and I'm still annoyed that it didn't do much better. Beating Katrina & the waves was out of reach but an 7th or 8th placing should have been doable.

[@dariodelpesomartinez7069]

brilliant song

[@KrystianRafalCielak]

Kocham 💕

[@wherever1717]

so classy and nice song

[@yunag8568]

Great song! i like the music and lyrics, makes you think about your existence

[@vanzdy8582]

One of my top 10 entries on that year

[@izharlevy3101]

Best polish entry of all times (together with To Nie Ja)

[@finnsuomi1719]

I agree❤

[@Miwosh007]

To jest song contest a nie to co teraz.

[@cupcakefairy87]

I dont like many of Poland's entries, but this is by far their best.

[@michal8327]

Chyba Wojtek Pilichowski się tam na basie tak rzuca;D

[@madaramemar2179]

Na pewno :D

[@MrDrago37]

Kocham ♥️👍❗

[@finnsuomi1719]

Ja też!

[@Lukannio]

It was one of greatest songs

[@grazynajozefczak6371]

ORKIESTRA SUPER

[@katara1610]

Deserved to be in the top 3 at least.. The most songs placing higher were totally outdated and boring.. 😌

[@nickburton100]

I like this: a translation please into English anyone? Apart from Chas (time), don't understand Polish. "But I am" in English.

[@PanDzikus]

I'm opening my eyes, the world's creating Sky above me, orchard ahead of me Aroma and flavor of green apples And everything's so simple You have to live truly to deceive a time You have to live in the most beautiful way You live only once You have to live in rapture Daydreamin', lovin', dreamin' You have to deceive a time To live truly I'm a grain of sand in hourglass, a lost boat among reefs a raindrop, a thinking reed among the grass But I am I'm a spark and a blow of wind, I'm a streak of light which comes to the stars I'm a moment, which wants to outrun the time But I am I'm pricking up my ear and listening as it plays Music inside me and i'm in the music Before a silence consumes me I'd like to sing, sing that... You have to live truly to deceive a rushing time Live beautifully in rapture Life happens only once I'm a grain of sand in hourglass, a lost boat among reefs a raindrop, A thinking reed among the grass But I am Life is a journey, life is a dream And what will happen next? I don't know and I know Ask about nothing, you'll find out when The journey, life and dreams will end. I'm a spark and a blow of wind, I'm a streak of light which comes to the stars I'm a moment, which wants to outrun the time But I am

[@botak5254]

to było dobre, lud kupi jednak tylko szit

[@classicalmusic3334]

Great song! 2:26 doesn't that guitarist look like "Weird Al" Yankovic?

[@veradavampire4861]

HOLY WIG

[@cgfischer]

12/8 meter? Am I right?

[@JeSuisRene]

Yes, the time signature would be 12/8 here :)

[@SuperJNG18]

@@JeSuisRene How would you conduct that? Like in 4/4?

[@JeSuisRene]

@@SuperJNG18 yes, essentially.

[@robokopo]

I my z czymś takim startowaliśmy na takie gówno jak Eurowizja? Z czymś tak subtelnym?

[@belinea282]

Nie do wiary prawda?:) Jopek, Steczkowska, Kowalska, Szcześniak i Górniak mieli zbyt ambitne utwory jak na ten konkurs. Tylko Edyta została należycie doceniona.

[@1amino2fenyloetan]

@@belinea282 Bez przesady. Widocznie te piosenki tak bardzo nie ujęły jurorów jak te wyżej ocenione. Poza tym Anna Maria Jopek zajęła 11 miejsce na 25 piosenek więc nie jest źle.
