Eurovision 1995 Poland

[@gr26086]

The greatest piece of art to make the Eurovision stage. Too good for Eurovision really

[@MG1GUY]

you'd better not go there alone, because you will meet BABA JAGA, LESZY or ZIRNITRA there. And remember LICHO never sleeps.

[@debonidaniel]

Was the all the 1995 Contest.Enya and experimental music had a big and unexpected impact on the musical scene all over the world.This year we had the most experimential Eurovision ever.In 1996,the pop songs are back on scene,just see the Gina G's efect.She doesn't win,but she does one of most played songs on that year.

[@ggoddf5889]

i agree

[@evitaq3528]

True true true

[@arvantsaraihan5777]

It's just too innovative, futuristic, avant-garde, modern and artistic for Eurovision in 90's

[@lanvin1982]

I have just watched it again years after watching it live. You're right with your comment. She was ahead of her times with her voice and the music. Pretty damn good.

[@SwimmerPrince]

@@lanvin1982 it's not so much that she's too ahead of her time because new age, folk, ethnic fusion music was the dominating sound of ESC '95, this entry while en vogue but also was too avant garde for popular taste

[@morbidsearch]

Imagine calling something too avant-garde and artistic for a contest where the winning song had 24 words and an extra long violin solo.

[@athandog]

​@@morbidsearch That's not avant-garde, that's an instrumental lol

[@kenanstrujic6162]

When I listen to this song I imagine some mystical polish forest full of fairies and other creatures :D One of my favourites. Poland rocks in the '90s.

[@luxferre9379]

My country is still like you mentioning or imaginery. One of the purest, and beautiful place on planet earth!

[@DuetOjciecisyn]

But I've always found its chorus more like an african music. It is in fact a very interesting mix od different styles

[@momadama1]

18th place?! WTF?! SOOO UNDERRATED! This performance blew my mind!

[@donalokeeffe7504]

Total masterpiece. And that voice.

[@johny7even]

This is an epic entry . One of the best in eurovision history!

[@hashar9593]

2:31

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

One of my favorite moments is when the backing vocals are hitting the note at 2:22. It accompanies the main vocals magically. There is something wild in this song.

[@Euroviking86]

Well caught. This song is full of untamed magic.

[@saraccl]

This song is like an experience. I'm here for that.

[@adamme8369]

Respect for Edyta Gorniak but this song was the best Poland had presented so far! But you do not serve a Lobster in McDonalds. Simply just too good and maybe too complicated for a common ear....

[@ggoddf5889]

exactly

[@jesemepardens9151]

So you're saying ESC is McDonald's ? Nah just kidding. But honestly, Eurovision is a song contest, not a pop academic contest

[@leonidasse]

@@jesemepardens9151 yes it is McDonalds in fact, it’s the most adequate comparison I’ve ever heard. And going there with this masterpiece of a song and voice was an absolute mistake and no wonder it was completely lost in Dublin. A Big Mac lover ( = an average eurovision viewer) will never understand the appeal of king scallops lol.

[@evitaq3528]

😂 exactly, well put 👌🏼✨

[@vesivekhi]

@@leonidasseit wasn't a mistake, it's precious that we are lucky to see this performance via Eurovision, no matter the points. Justyna was stunning and nobody since could repeat her magic, the best ESC song in new-age genre, never topped.

[@qbert8695]

My winner of 1995. I'm crazy about mystic entries. My favorite part is 1:30 - 2:15

[@ianp7661]

90’s ethnic entries were the best.

[@o-b-1]

My favorite part is 2:22

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

@@o-b-1 same! Best high notes in ESC are Poland 1995 and Israel 2021

[@tomaszes.865]

Trip-hop rhythms, fashionable in the 1990s, were new at Eurovision. There was something magical about her, she was already wearing black, a mystic. The combination of trip-hop and Justyna's vocals is the best that could be...

[@Adaguz]

❤❤❤

[@escpat]

This song is definitely ahead of its time. When I first listened to it, I found it weird but somehow enjoyed it. It was on my Top 10 list that year.

[@TwistofTrafficJam]

This is the greatest Eurovision song ever. It's no competition.

[@adriankowalski6798]

Co ty wiesz

[@chrzanka8969]

[@baqrtexz2760]

[@Bluksit]

Dla mnie Eurowizja przestała istnieć po tak słabej ocenie jednej z najciekawszych piosenk

[@belinea282]

Ta, jak również kilka następnych naszych piosenek nie była w tzw. eurowizyjnym stylu. Była z innego świata. Z innej bajki. Nie pasowała tutaj...tzn była za ambitna. Tak samo jak piosenki Kowalskiej, Jopek i Szcześniaka.

[@PrincessLockette]

At least everyone still remembers this song 😍

[@MommyAda21]

She's rumoured to represent Poland again in 2024!

[@blackeer6614]

Compare her current song vs 1995 song... Music is really going down unfortunately

[@wurpdaborbuko]

I don't really care about eurovision, I just keep coming back to this incredible song. Ah, the 90s. This weird, modern, melodic folktronica was 90s pop. It's almost unbelivable now. I highly recommend listening to Steczkowska's first two albums produced by late Grzegorz Ciechowski.

[@larry_wilde]

i keep going back here because it's so good... why is this not in Spotify?

[@CodyKK]

Justyna is adding many of her songs on Spotify this year. Hopefully this one may be one of them

[@fabriziodambrosio86]

@@CodyKK it's not😔

[@CodyKK]

@@fabriziodambrosio86 yeah, I don't know why she omitted this one. I thought there might be some law issues about this song, but she sang it a few days ago. Maybe we should remind her?

[@SuperCatman]

@@CodyKK could be at the request of whatever record she recorded it with.

[@momadama1]

I have the same issue with Cyprus 1998 🥲

[@CJWhiteshield]

The thing that I wonder is how the hell she can hold out that high note for so long!

[@Anno_Al]

I know this is a five year old comment but in case you're still curious, the technique she's using to get a note that high and strong is by contracting her throat, which makes a lot less air have to pass through her vocal chords, thereby preserving air. I learned that technique as part of a swedish cattle call known as "kulning", you can check it out if you wanna know more. So it's still impressive, but it's honestly not that hard to sustain a note that long if you know this technique.

[@davidkasquare]

That is not that long. I’m a singer myself, and with the correct technique, it’s totally within the comfort zone.

[@xanderstuivenberg]

This is so good... Wish more acts nowadays were as original as this! Pure artistry.

[@queenyblahblah]

i love that she still has a similar witchy feeling style to her song in 2024… even if the two songs are very different! this is my favourite polish eurovision entry and i would be thrilled if tvp did choose her to return this year…

[@micku2216]

Oh yeah, some of her stuff from the 90s was very ahead of its time. Then again, she was initially inspired by artists like Bjork, Dead Can Dance, Portishead and This Mortal Coil, so I wouldn't expect nothing less than astonishing :)

[@eire2905]

Ciary mam do dzisiaj, no przecież to jest zajebiste!

[@MikolajMix]

Here’s how I see it …She produced this masterpiece at the same time when Bjork was recording “Post” and Portishead debuted with “Dummy”. And at the same time, I can imagine Justyna listening to “into the labyrinth” by Dead Can Dance from 1993 and “heaven or Las Vegas” by Cocteau Twins from 1990.They added some Avantgarde Polish folk into it and here’s how “sama” was born :)

[@Joshuamartin93]

I love this song so much and the journey it takes me on. So vulnerable in the beginning then free and comforting when Justyna extends her arms at the end. Just a total masterpiece.

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

[@Ebakyza]

I don't know what can I think about the first half, I hear two verses with thoose sweet-sounded folk instrumental parts and then maybe a strange bridge. But I feel something magical when she starts to dance and the song is raising with the vocals till that amazing high voice. It makes more magical, that I absolutely don't understand the song (and not only the lyrics) but it charmes me just like spring in the air.

[@Euroviking86]

Very nicely put. It's a unique song, unusual but magical. :)

[@sunkkist]

[@joniskahavet]

Of course the juries of the 1990s didn't 'get' this, only giving it 15(!) points. But it would have sounded as fresh in ESC in 2022 as in 1995 and I know it would have got a lot of praise now. Imagine it with an up-to-date, well thought out staging!

It seriously did though, it fit right in, even if it is really “out there” in terms of composition and performance. 1995 is a year full of this stuff, and a good year at that too. This song, while initially really low on my ranking, really has grown on me. My 12th of 1995.
