Nemesis - Stranger ( 1980's Yugoslav Coldwave / Darkwave )

Great and not well known female fronted Gothic/darkwave/coldwave band from Zagreb active in the second half of the 1980's.

Transcription attempt (feel free to correct anything): An empty room inside me A stranger sitting there is calling up my name He's saying words of hatred Things I don't wanna hear, I'm frozen in despair Like shadows of my past life And I feel all my screams [end up exhausted/and nothing is as it seems] Oh lord Stranger living inside my mind Stranger, nothing but nightmares Stranger, [taking all of me/taking all away] Stranger inside An empty room inside me A stranger sitting there is crying out my name And I can hear my heartbeat The sound of broken glass and colors spinning round I'm saying out my prayer Just give me one more chance before I hit the floor Oh lord Stranger living inside my mind Stranger, nothing but nightmares Stranger, [taking all of me/taking all away] Stranger inside An empty room inside me A stranger sitting there is laughing to my face He knows that it's all over There's nothing I can do, the shallowness of Gods Oh lord The walls are getting closer The light is dying out The world is going mad And I can see myself now I'm falling to my knees And know that I'm no more Oh lord Stranger living inside my mind Stranger, nothing but nightmares Stranger, [taking all of me/taking all away] Stranger inside Oh lord

It definitely would have been nice if all the bloodshed had not occurred but I don't know enough about what's happened since to really say whether the interests of the various peoples living in former Yugoslavia would be better off either way.

[@lukapetrovic7619]

@@casanovafunkenstein5090 i mean overly simplefied yugoslavia was a strong country in which socialism actually worked but when tito died nacionalistic tensions were supported by politicians at time so when it reached peak america got involved and war broke out because todays serbia government was for yougoslavia they tried to keep it after slovenia went out so croatia declated independence serbians in croatia were against it cause of tensions and police brutality in croatia shots were fired so serbs wanted their parts (krajina) in serbia but croatian won't let them same story in bosnia serbia got trade blocked by west in cause to stop war and it was only serbia hyperinflation happened and serbs in croatia were forced by croatian military out of ther homes that acr was called (oluja) so 4 years after war kosovo tryed to rip itself out with help from america but serbian military splaped them and nato acted with bombing yugoslavia with mostly non military places like civil trains hospitals televisions chinese ambasy so it was end of 90s and i forgot to mention that bosnia was later invaded by croatia so if you want to know mor bou this you have movie lepa sela lepo gore (pretty village pretty flame) its anti was and showing how that war looked like from solders perspective

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

@@lukapetrovic7619 that's the rough narrative I'm aware of. I'm a little ambivalent towards Tito because, while I think it's very impressive that he and his government were able to keep Yugoslavia economically stable while fending off both numerous Western capitalist and Soviet attempts to break the country apart (no doubt because they managed to avoid the levels of economic sanctioning that other socialist countries were subjected to.), one of the consequences of the dictatorship and the cult of personality that entails was that when he died there was a power vacuum in the centralised government which I believe contributed to the separatist movements' ability to gain traction. I have a bit of an interest in Yugoslavian history, as my mother's side of the family had to flee the country during the proxy war being fought there during WWII in which the allies supplied and trained multiple factions involved in a civil war, so as to prolong and escalate the conflict in order to deny the land to the Axis powers.

[@foreverhungry7777]

@@casanovafunkenstein5090 The history is waaay more complex than the above blurb which is deeply revisionist and biased if I do say so myself, lol. After the creation of the SFRJ state in 1945 numerous businesses (as well as homes) were nationalised and the country lived in a strict post-Stalinist socialist reality that was far from ideal both socially and economically. Following the fall and expulsion of Serbian politician Aleksandar Ranković in the 1960s who rabidly opposed decentralisation, communists in Croatia advocated for economic reform as well as more autonomy granted to the respective republics and provinces as well as the raising of minimum wage to match the price of rising goods. Decentralisation in the 60s essentially set off what would be a short-lived "golden era" (mid 60s through to the 70s), helped along by foreign loans as well as Gasterbajteri, who after Tito signed work agreements with western countries in need of cheaper labour would send in over $500 million. Nearly 10% of Croatia's overall population departed for foreign work, followed by Bosnians, with Serbians departing more come the 1970s. Yada, yada, yada, I could write a book on the subject but the late 60s saw student protests across the former SFRJ as well as the Croatian Spring movement try to demand more rights, autonomy etc as well as the more affluent states like Slovenia and Croatia resentful that money from their successful industries (fashion, tourism etc) were being divied up among the states (eg going to poorer Macedonia and Kosovo instead of being reinvested back into Slovenia, Croatia etc). But back to the protests which Tito quickly squashed with figures from movements in Croatia, Serbia etc being jailed, blackballed etc as essentially, he wanted no threat to his systems of power as he had declared himself President for Life. I do honestly believe the protests as well as the latter Croatian Spring helped initiate changes in the constitution in 1974 which gave the republics and provinces the legal right to secede from the State. In retrospect, everyone lauds the wickid good music from the 1980s as with the death of Tito even more "freedom" was felt, however, this is when the economic downturn really started hitting (and which the hedonistic Tito did not have to deal with as he had passed on without having to repay any of his debts). Fast forward to the 1990s, when the Republics tried to secede that as they had enough of Milosevic & Co., well, it got bloody and you have an idea on what went on from there. The Balkans are strange in the fact that an individual family can have lived in a country for centuries yet still insist they are an ethnic minority from a nation/society their family unit has not lived in for centuries, lol. Essentially, individuals who refuse to assimiliate and feel entitled to function as an independent entity within a nation, which to anyone in a working democracy is a crazy notion however this is how the insane nationalists of the region act, lol. Anyway, there was no western conspiracy but there was definitely Western apathy to the war which allowed it to drag on longer than it had to. When they finally interceded you have the batshit nonsensical Dayton Accord implemented in arguably the craziest scenario of them all, BiH, which was divied up to be rotating shared power (despite the fact that all 3 "dominant ethnic groups" are still all *drumroll" Bosnian, lol. Literally born and raised there, as their parents, grandparents, great-grandparents etc before them were). The Dayton Accord was meant to act as a temporary solution which has been nothing but chaotic since its inception with all 3 groups continuing to this day to teach segreated education (so, 3 groups being taught 3 totally different versions of history). No doubt planting the seeds for a possible total collapse/war at least within BiH. But than, who knows?
