Czesław Niemen - Dziwny jest ten świat. You got to listen to it, my favorite when it comes to polish song overall.

[@generalping999]

Agreed

[@bullet1544]

Dni, których nie znamy - Marek Grechuta

[@rockmanrossi1899]

Son of the blue sky Długość dźwięku samotności Niepokonani

[@ajuc005]

"Nie pytaj mnie" is the singer singing "Don't ask me why I'm with her" (her being Poland) but for the first half of the song it seems he's singing about his lover. It's basically a song about how shitty life was in Poland in 80s - and yet people still were patriotic and remained here hoping for something to change. The music video was showing the most depressing stuff they could find :)

[@ArletkaKus]

The vast majority of songs from the 1980s in Poland had a political message. Songs were censored and so "BAJM-Józek, nie datuję ci tej nocy" says about the imposition of martial law on December 13, 1980. Kult and Republika sang about the hopelessness that was in Poland at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. Then Poland was a very gray country with great complexes in relation to the "west"

[@dushmanmardom]

Well not really. That's the best thing about those songs - on a face level this is a song about a guy, and how she's not gonna forgive him that night. BUT you could read it as a political song, but this could fly under the radar.

[@0plp0]

"Kryzysowa narzeczona" - Crisis bride

[@The0Stroy]

"Crisis Fiancee" rather.

[@JustBlackWolf]

@@The0Stroy @0plp0 Kryzysowa Narzeczona => "Emergency/Crisis Fiancé" - as for the singer this is a crisis, you can't just translate the word you need to give back the sense behind it. Trevor interpretation for you (google translated, sorry i don't have time to do proper translation) The song is written from the perspective of a man who addresses his would-be life partner. The woman he apparently had an affair with in the past is now far away; sends him greetings on a postcard "out of nowhere". She did not choose to live with her former lover and, as can be seen from his words, she did the right thing. If she had stayed, she would be "at the bottom" and would live "slowly", a completely colorless life. The words “you'll never know what you've lost” appear in the chorus thus seem to be sarcasm - the man in bitter words admits the woman is right and actually approves of the choice she made. The text of the song came from the hand of Andrzej Mogielnicki, who explained in the magazine "Poezja" that the words concern the problem of emigration to the west. "This song is not a text for young people, it is a text written for the 30-year-old generation," said Mogielnicki. “17-year-old boys don't have girls who suddenly emigrate abroad. I am writing this for myself, for my colleagues, for my generation ”.

[@adamk7981]

You should listen Tadeusz Wozniak - Zegarmistrz Światła (eng. watchmaker of light ). It's pure awesome classic.

[@alam5055]

"Zawsze tam gdzie ty" is one of the most beautiful love songs that I've heard. Here's translation if you need it. "Zawsze tam gdzie ty" ("Always where you are") I will turn each breath into a restless wind So it takes me back to where you have your world I will put all whispers into one, warm cry So it finds you right up where you've hidden your dreams Now I know that days only exist For me to come back to you every night of gold I don't know words that have any greater meaning When I only know, only know one thing To be there, to always be where you are Don't ask me about tommorow - it's a thousand years away We're sailing a white boat into an unknow time I will put our whispers into one, warm cry, So they don't escape from us, so they dry the tears Now I know that days only exist For me to come back to you every night of gold I don't know words that have any greater meaning When I only know, only know one thing To be there, to always be where you are Now I know that days only exist For me to come back to you every night of gold I don't know words that have any greater meaning When I only know, only know one thing To be there, to always be where you are To wake up and to fall asleep in our own heaven To be there, to always be where you are To say goodbye each dawn and to come back to you again To be there, to always be where you are To wake up and to fall asleep in our own heaven To be there, to always be where you are Always where you are

[@MocnaaAlex]

The one I really miss here is Dżem, I guess there is no bigger band than Dżem who had so many hits in 80's and are still popular like Czerwony jak cegła, Wehikuł czasu, List do M., Autsajder. The most interesting fact about Dżem is that when Metallica played concert in Poland Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo performed Dżem song - Wehikuł czasu.

[@annaapinska5962]

Hi Trev :) Song "nie pytaj o Polskę" from band Obywatel GC (it means the citizen GC and GC is from the name of the vocalist Grzegorz Ciechowski) is about love to his homeland- Poland. He is singing "don't ask me why I'm with her (Poland), don't ask me why I'm not with any other (country) and why there's no other place for me". This song was written in 1988 when in Poland still was a comunism. People where poor, unemployed also there was a lot of alcoholism and criminality but the singer regardless of this still love his country. I hope it help you understand what this song is about.

[@Daro41B]

There was not unemployment in Poland 80s.Not officially and not on scale as it was after changes.

[@brushlickerstudio28]

Obywatel G.C song You had trouble to understand based on lyric is about this crazy plathonian love polish people hav torward their country. Something about our rough history makes our love for Poland very... specific. Also Poland, especially during PRL era ( so "communist"era ) made this love kinda pathological one. In the lyrics, subject of the text was being asked "what does even hold You in that place?" and in replies he was adressing Poland in the manner more fitting a gentle lover than a country. Love this song, kinda twisted but lovely and deep. @Trev feel free to hit me up about some of cultural stuff, love this pieces, propably can bring some interesting insight to You if Youre interested :)

[@bullet1544]

Dni, których nie znamy - Marek Grechuta Stacja Warszawa - Lady Pank :) Check them Trev

[@Kamila_Koziol]

Anything by Maanam. Their lead singer- Olga Jackowska is perfection. They have some of their albums in English as well, I think Lipstick on the Glass. They have plenty of iconic songs, but I think Krakowski spleen is the one to check out.

[@edlawn5481]

Krakowski Spleen is a great song.

[@freakdevice6138]

Varius Manx - Piosenka Księżycowa (Moon Song) is one of the greatest Polish ballads from early 1990s. Anita Lipnicka's beautiful voice, stirring music and poetic, romantic lyrics make this song a real piece of art. For me it's one of the milestones in polish pop/soft-rock music genre ever. Another good choices from Varius Manx with Anita Lipnicka on vocals repertoire are "Pocałuj noc" and "Zanim zrozumiesz". Talking about ballads, I would also recommend listening to Rotary - Na jednej z dzikich plaż. This one hit wonder from 1996 is one of the earliest takes on britrock genre in Polish mainstream. Another, and certainly very successful Polish britrock band is Myslovitz, who were on top during late 1990s and early 2000s.

[@OskarTBrand]

great taste! 👏

[@maciejszymanski2386]

I know Kazik of Kult pretty well. We had mutual friends in student dorm where we drank a lot of vodka at the numerous parties. I have my little share in song "Polska" - once I told short story about my adventures in Kutno railway station which was immortalized in the song.

[@tomaszratajczyk5644]

Kazik nie raz wypowiadał się, że fragment o Kutnie to zapis jego doświadczeń z czasów, kiedy jeździł do przyszłej żony do Torunia nocnymi pociągami z przesiadką w Kutnie...

[@MrTangerine666]

I recommend analyzing the lyrics, especially "Księżycowa piosenka" (really beautiful) and "Kryzysowa narzeczona", although the second one needs some historical context to understand ;)

[@77seban]

yeah ..old good Lady Pank

[@ArletkaKus]

"Józek, nie daruję ci tej nocy" is also political song.

[@krewetkashrimp]

That's a songs of our childhood and teenage times (For polish people born in 1980-2000) That's truly something beautiful and magic. Greetings from Poland, Trev

You will love O.N.A. band. I listen to them to this day but I was only a toddler when first heard their songs. Listen to one song and you'll want more and more👌

[@vrbanitas]

What a great content Trev, I grew up listening to this music. Enjoy Poland, you are a cool guy.

[@tomasztomasz4045]

You really missed some cool classics with videos. Zdzisława Sośnicka - Aleja Gwiazd, Krystyna Prońko - Za czym kolejka ta stoi, Lady Pank - Mała Lady Pank (live), Budka Suflera - Jest taki samotny dom (live). There's also one that is a cover, but definitely worth hearing by an American: Piersi - Paranoid (yes, Black Sabbath cover).

[@mikeybishop6426]

plus Szklana Pogoda and Serca Dwiazd :)

[@jagodam5837]

Jesteś Lekiem na Całe Zło has got to be one of my favourite songs - the lyrics are super creative and just generally the song has very interesting sounds (the bass I think). Would totally recommend :))

@Jagoda M. Cześć, co u ciebie ?

[@adammichalak8434]

Jam "wehikuł czasu" and No. 1 classic "czerwony jak cegła" 👻🇵🇱

[@charko4191]

Uuuu I loved seeing you listen to those I highly recomend also listening to Republika Moja krew, Maszynka do świerkania, Akurat lubię mówić z tobą, Czarny chleb i czarna kawa, Also Jamal has a lot of good songs for example Słowo, Babilon, Automaty. Also please you have check out a pretty fresh band called Kwiat Jabłoni songs from the album Niemożliwe like: Wodymidaj, Nic więcej, niemożliwe and so on I would really like to do This again Greetings from Poland 😉

[@zaczus]

Jamal made great song called Peron where the music and lyrics are purely awesome. Lyrics especially - they made some cool reversed idioms. Should be very interesting since you've been learning Polish, Trev.

[@JustBlackWolf]

When Poland was under ZSSR hands there was strong censorship and we have to create lyrics that was not an offence to the government (of that time) as others points out the vast majority of songs from the 1980s in Poland had a strong political message and sometimes anti-government hidden deep in between the words in the lyrics.

[@zepter00]

Poland never was a part of ZSSR

[@szybared]

Every Pole who has the so-called Slavic Soul knows that music is the best balm. The music of the 1980s is in many cases a rebellion of young people who began to notice the hopelessness of the contemporary system of our state. Long before the plastic trash of modern Eurovision, the song had to contain a good, even poetic text ... Dzieki i pozdrawiam. Try it Odzial Zamkniety

Thank you for that Trev! That was such a fun trip down the memory lane. I know every single song. Bajm was a first band whose concert I attended in the 80s. Very often with these old songs, especially from communist times is that the lyrics are poetic, have many metaphors and hidden anti communist messages. That is why direct translations might still not make sense to you. 😀

Hello there, First I'm gonna admit that I'm 27 polish and rly having fun and appriciate your content here. Sorry for a lacks in my english. I recommend you this - also polish classical singer, some may compare her to french Edith Piaf classical singer even. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKrTaqN_pKhgnbs) (title in english could be "I love you life") but, Interesting fact: On this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZicnKJnfb-er8k) Jerzy Kukuczka is singing it's words "Kocham Cię życie", while he is coming down after climbing Annapurna 8 thousand meters peak in Himalaya. It's interesting so far because during communism in Poland, polish climbers were writing himalaism history and made major of winter first ascents in history, as they're called "polish ice warriors" cause of that, getting huge respect in a climbing community. They were fighting both with highest mountains in the world and their own country issues, like closed borders. Kukuczka was the second man to climb all 8-thusands, just after losing first place in a kind of race with Reinhold Messner these days. And he made it so fast comparing to Messner who starter years eariler. Don't know if you actually interested in that, but it's huge fascinating piece of polish history. It's just a sport you can say, but comparing to all that sh*t these days - unbelievable. Few years ago I was in Himalaya, trekking this mountain to the base camp, where I had a short talk with guy who met Kukuczka many times, when he was passing-by to make a real climbs. Mindblowing memory and experience for me. Some facts there: (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-thousander) Best regards!

[@annakaczmarek9002]

Obywatel G. C. "Nie pytaj o Polskę" is really deep song. It says that he loves his country (Poland) even if there is not beautiful and most people live in a boring, grey world. He sings about dirty trainstations, drunk people who mumbling in their sleep something like:"until we're alive She (Poland) is alive too" (words from our National Anthem). He is singing about Poland something like about a lover or wife, and he says that he can't find other place to live for him, cause this love is uncondictonaly. If you could guess it was written during the comunism. I'm not very good in English, but I hope you understand that mesage I tried to describe. I suppose it's not easy to feel the spirit of this song, if you're not from here... Nowadays it's totally different than in 80' or 90'. Greetings from Poland ;)

[@Hubi194]

If you are into polish rock music you should try: Lombard - Szklana Pogoda Bajm - Biała Armia TSA - Kocica (or She Cat, 'cause they released english version) Budka Suflera Nie wierz nigdy kobiecie Bank - ciągle ktoś mówi coś Lady Pank - mniej niż zero (or english version called Minus Zero) Hey - Teksański Dżem - Czerwony jak cegła Urszula - Malinowy król Izabela Trojanowska - wszystko czego dziś chcę... Breakout - gdybyś kochał hej. Turbo - dorosłe dzieci They all are pretty huge hits in our country.

[@SzalonyKucharz]

Lady Pank's 'Zawsze tam gdzie Ty' is such a softie compared to their much earlier, cynical take on love and practical realities of relationships in 'Kryzysowa narzeczona' (Crisis-time fiancee): 'You could've hit the rock bottom / But you didn't / You'll never know / What you've missed' BTW, 'niejeden raz' means 'not once', or 'numerous times'... You could have been my crisis-time fiancee, Drunk with me what's been brewed for us. You could have been mine. From a silenced radio receiver we would have listened to news Till the morning light and got wasted Numerous times You could've hit the rock bottom, but you didn't You'll never know what you've missed You could have been my crisis-time fiancee, Live our lives slowly, as was prescribed You could have been mine.

3:18 Bajm - "Józek, nie daruję Ci tej nocy" (Józek, I will not forgive you this night). The original title of this song was - Wojtek, I will not forgive you this night.

And which general one night in December 1981 introduced martial law in Poland.

The first song of LADY PANK is just KURWA MAĆ. I was born in 1980 and I met this song in 2005 but I know the lyrics by heart. Nie pytaj o Polskę is a song about life in Poland, about the gray in those days and why are you still sitting here and not going somewhere else. It describes the terrible history of our nation after WWII, then communism, transformation

(going from the oldest stuff, by the decade). 1. `60: Czerwone Gitary (Red Guitars) - polish answer to The Beatles :) This music came from the darkest of communism times in Poland, but you may find it interesting. Top songs - Takie ładne oczy (Such pretty eyes), Kwiaty we włosach (Flowers in the hair), Biały Krzyż (White Cross) 2. `70: Tadeusz Nalepa (solo) and with his band Breakout - in US standards, he was like polish B.B.King: grandfather of blues and absolute legend. Top songs - Kiedy byłem małym chłopcem (When I was a little boy), Modlitwa (Prayer), Oni zaraz przyjdą tu (They're about to come here) 3. `80: Jacek Kaczmarski - probably greatest singing poet and bard in polish music, you can easily compare him to Bob Dylan. His songs were very important in times of martial law in Poland and even after that. Top songs - Mury (Walls) , Obława (Manhunt), Epitafium dla Wysockiego (Epitaph for Władimir Wysocki) 4. `90: Illusion - this rock/grunge/metal/hardcore (4 in 1 ;) ) band had a great vocals, even greater riffs and you should definitely hear them if you like a `90s heavy music. Top songs - Cierń (Thorn), Nóż (Knife), To co ma nadejść (What is to come) 5. `00 Coma - some people love them, some people hate them, but all in all they are really solid and important band on classic rock scene in Poland. Top songs - Leszek Żukowski (Leszek Żukowski - name and last name of a guy is the title of this song :)), 100 tysięcy jednakowych miast (100,000 identical cities), Trujące rośliny (Poisonous plants) And, as a bonus, ihmo greatest band from Poland, which songs are in english - ACID DRINKERS! You should definitely listen to those three albums - Infernal Connection, The State Of Mind Report, High Proof Cosmic Milk - they are like crown jewels from their legacy :) Enjoy and please record second part to this video :) Best regards! Marcin

For some other classics,, look up: Budka Suflera - Za Ostatni Grosz (For the last penny) Rezerwat - Zaopiekuj sie man (Take care of me) - no music video to the original, but music is great

Nie Wierz Nigdy Kobiecie - Budka Suflera. Jan Borysewicz of Lady Pank on guitar.

I tried to translate and it hit on the spot, yeah lady pank, as well as other artists trying to convey their struggle with coupons for vodka

Great video! You should watch 'Beats of freedom' (Zew wolności) movie.

To really appreciate the quality of the songs you need to understand the poetry of the lyrics, the story behind them, sometimes even a social or a political context which played an important role in creating many of these masterpieces.

"Niejeden raz" translates more like "more than once" or "not once". For example you could say "You broke my heart more than once" = "złamałaś mi serce, nie jeden raz".

12:50 rather Happy Christmas - Wesolych Swiat would be used practically only for Christmas, but theoretically could be wished for all holidays.

ja ostatnio słucham Helmet, Faith No More, Creedence clearwater Revival, Corrosion of comformity, The Kinks... ;d

I am curious about your opinion on the song Colors of the Wind from the Pocahontas animation. Many people in Poland believe that the Polish version (Kolorowy Wiatr - Edyta Górniak) is much better sung and sounds better than the original. A rare thing, because they might be right;)

Hi, majority of these songs have a second meaning. They convey a sense of harsh relationship between Poland and the Poles; it was hard to be a patriot during the times of communism, under the socialist regime, where you basically meant nothing, unless you had some connections with the Party. Nonetheless the authors express their bitter and nostalgic connection with their country. If you want any deeper explanation on the meaning of any of these songs, ask me:) Greetings from Poland

[@utakatayt7044]

Finaly some old good songs

If Budka Soufflera is not here I'm gonna be pissed!
