Cziczeko"Innuendo" was the last album released by Queen before the death of Freddie Mercury. Three of the songs on the album, "The Show Must Go On", "Don't Try So Hard" and "Bijou" were sung by Queen's charismatic vocalist in a terrifying manner, causing the feelings of delight and admiration on one hand, and in-depth pain, sorrow and helplessness on the other in the hearts of people who loved Queen as much as they did love Freddie.
The singing part in this song is relatively small, yet it always sends (and always will send...) shivers down my spine when I hear this poignant "You... and me, we are destined - you'll agree..."
"Bijou" is a song that will always make you feel how great this band was. Beautiful guitar solo by Brian May and thrilling voice of Freddie make a marvellous combination, resulting in one of the finest of Queen's ballads.
Lyrics:
You and me we are destined you'll agree
To spend the rest of our lives with each other
The rest of our days like two lovers
For ever
Yeah
For ever

My bijou...Krystyna Pronko - Deszcz w Cisnej - a superb Polish songCziczeko2008-01-20 | Jeszcze nigdy nie byłem w Cisnej, ale Nienacki opisywał ją w "Tajemnicy Tajemnic" jako piękne miejsce. No i Pani Prońko tak cudownie o niej śpiewa - chyba czas się pakować, tylko najpierw wypadałoby pozaliczać egzaminy w sesji ;-)
...Minęło 4,5 roku i w Cisnej już byłem. What else is there...?
Spośród wielu bzdur Które niosą stada chmur Ja lubię deszcz, Deszcz w Cisnej.
W wielkim mieście nie wie nikt Ile czasu może mżyć Taki deszcz Deszcz w Cisnej
Koła aut się ślizgają Wycieraczki smutno w deszczu łkają Kropel głuchy rytm Stuka w moje drzwi Pasjans, który stawiam dziś od rana Znów nie wyszedł mi
Spośród wielu bzdur Które niosą stada chmur Ja lubię deszcz Deszcz w Cisnej Na krzyżówce przysiadł ptak Widać jemu też nie w smak Taki deszcz Deszcz w Cisnej
Czy kto deszcz taki widział Noe z Arką by mi się przydał Kropel głuchy rytm Stuka w moje drzwi Pasjans, który stawiam dziś od rana Znów nie wyszedł mi
Czy kto deszcz taki widział Noe z Arką by mi się przydał Kropel głuchy rytm Stuka w moje drzwi Pasjans, który stawiam dziś od rana Znów nie wyszedł mi
Spośród wielu bzdur Które niosą stada chmur Ja lubię deszcz Deszcz w Cisnej Z każdą większą kroplą dżdżu Coraz lepiej jest mi tu Kiedy deszcz Deszcz w Cisnej
Koła aut się ślizgają Wycieraczki smutno w deszczu łkają Kropel głuchy rytm Stuka w moje drzwi Pasjans, który stawiam dziś od rana Znów nie wyszedł mi...Before Sunrise (1995) - one of the best film scenes everCziczeko2007-07-22 | "There's wind that blows in from the north And it says that loving takes this course Come here, come here No I'm not impossible to touch I have never wanted you so much Come here, come here Have I never laid down by your side Baby, let's forget about this pride Come here, come here Well I'm in no hurry Don't have to run away this time I know you're timid. But it's gonna be all right this time..."
I am Polish and "Before Sunrise" (and "Before Sunset" afterwards) were aired on one of the TV channels a few weeks ago. Both the films are excellent; the acting skills of Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke blossom during the long shots taken in Vienna & Paris.
This one special scene though is even better than the rest of the film. It is absolutely exquisite. Those eyes, this music ("Come Here" by Kath Bloom), this amazing atmosphere of a requited feeling and finally finding a real soulmate... it is certainly one of the best scenes that have ever been created; Richard Linklater and the actors succeeded in making something that the vast majority of even high-budget films lack. The world is huge, I am just 19, now moving to Warsaw to study there. I don't know what will happen in my life, I don't know where will its paths lead me. I don't know whether I'll ever meet a person I could socialise with as much as this pair did, I don't know if any adventure of such enormous beauty will ever happen to me...
What I know is that I will hold this scene and film in my memory all throughout my life. Best regards to you, whoever you are!
23.07.2007
I just watched Before Sunrise again. Many things have happened in my life in the meantime, more often sad than happy, and yet this beautiful gem still lives vividly within me, promising that maybe, just maybe, it all makes sense and something beautiful and pure awaits ahead. That nothing is over yet... Is it you, Alexandra? In my heart I beg, take me with you. I don't care where you're going...
28.11.2012Arctic Monkeys - Red Light Indicates Doors Are SecuredCziczeko2007-06-14 | A superb song from Arctic Monkeys, presenting typical skirmish & rows which they had had a chance to experience before they rose to fame.
Ask if we can have six in
If not we'll have to have two
You're coming up at our end aren't you
So I'll get one with you
Won't he let us have six in
Especially not with the food
He could have just told us no though
He didn't have to be rude
You see her with the green dress
She talked to me at the bar
Well how come it's already two pound fifty
We've only gone about a yard
Didn't you see she were gorgeous
She were beyond belief
But this lad at the side drinking his Smirnoff Ice
Came and paid for her Tropical Reef
And I'm sitting going backwards
And I didn't want to leave
I said Shire Green mate
Via Hillsborough please
Well how funny were that sketch earlier
Up near that taxi rank
Oh no you would have missed it,
Think it were when you went to the bank
These two lads squaring up proper shouting
About who was next in the queue
The kind of thing that would seem so silly
But not when they've both had a few
Well calm down, temper, temper
You shouldn't get so annoyed
You're acting like a silly little boy
And they wanted to be men
And do some fighting in the street
Said: no surrender,
No chance of retreat!
And so why are we in the taxi?
Cause I didn't want to leave
I said Shire Green mate
Via Hillsborough please
Drunken plots hatched to jump it,
Ask around are you sure?
Went for it but the red light is showing
And red light indicates doors are securedArctic Monkeys - Mardy BumCziczeko2007-06-14 | Yet another excellent Arctic Monkeys song, to be honest one of my favourites along with "When The Sun Goes Down." A great story of a quarrelsome pair, whose love and peace is disturbed by the female's quarrelsomeness & disappointment in her eyes.
Now then Mardy Bum
I've seen your frown and it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer
It's one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was, up up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on
Now then Mardy Bum
Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I?
I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can't bear
Why can't we just laugh and joke around...?
Remember cuddles in the kitchen yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was, up up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on
Yeah, I'm sorry I was late
But I missed the train
And then the traffic was a state
And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care
But of course I do, I clearly I do!
Just laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was, up up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face onArctic Monkeys - Riot VanCziczeko2007-06-14 | Another great song of Arctic Monkeys that was available on YT only in unclear concert versions. Here comes much better one.
Up rolls a riot van
And sparks excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
We got a chase last night
From men with truncheons, dressed in hats
We didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though
For the laugh, just for the laugh...
And please just stop talking
Cause they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you
"Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me"
"I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be? Cause nobody told me..."
And up rolls a riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less
Thrown in a riot van
All the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin...Arctic Monkeys - Still Take You HomeCziczeko2007-06-14 | Another great song by the Sheffield lads, this time telling the story of a bimbo, whose pitiful intelligence & knowledge level does not stop the singer's lust for her.
Well it's ever so funny
Cause I don't think you're special, I don't think you're cool
You're just probably alright
But under these lights you look beautiful
And I'm struggling
I can't see through your fake tan
Yeah you know it for a fact
Everybody's eating out of your hands
What do you know?
Oh, you know nothing!
Yeah, but I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
So what do you know?
Said you don't know nothing!
I fancy seeing you in here
You're all tarted up, and you don't look the same
I haven't seen you since last year
Yeah and suprisingly you have forgotten my name
But you know it
Yeah, you knew it all along
Oh you say you have forgotten
But you're fibbin', no don't tell me I'm wrong
So what do you know?
Oh you know nothing!
Yeah, but I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
So what do you know?
Oh you don't know nothing, no!
I say what do you know?
And you don't know nothing, no!
Yeah, but I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
I said what do you know
Oh, you don't know nothing
I fancy you with a passion
You're a top-shop princess, a rockstar too
You're a fad, you're a fashion
And I'm having a job trying to talk to you
But it's alright, yeah put it on one side
Oh everybody's looking
You got control of everyone's eyes
Including mine!Arctic Monkeys-Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (clear)Cziczeko2007-06-14 | Youtube lacked a clear version of this great Arctic Monkeys song, so I decided to upload it.
I also invite you to subscribe to my channel, as I happen to be uploading really interesting music videos:)
Lyrics:
Stop making the eyes at me
I'll stop making the eyes at you
What it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as an ice)
Oh but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lightning a fuse might result in a bang baba bang-go
I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Don't know if you're looking for romance or what
Don't know what you're looking for
I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!
I wish you'd stop ignoring me because you're sending me to despair
Without a sound yeah you're calling me and I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as an ice)
Oh but you're an explosion (You're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio but I don't care for sand
And lighting a fuse might result in a bang baba bang-go
I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Don't know if you're looking for romance or what
Don't know what you're looking for
I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!
And there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Just banging tunes and DJ sets
Dirty dancefloors
And dreams of naughtiness
Well I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Don't know if you're looking for a romance or what
Don't know what you're looking for
I said I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!K. Pronko - Jestes Lekiem Na Cale Zlo - a great Polish songCziczeko2007-04-20 | Najbardziej znana piosenka Krystyny Prońko - jeden z najpiękniejszych polskich utworów miłosnych.
Wypisujesz hasła w mojej dłoni
Potem szczotką ślad flamastra drzesz
Mówisz że nikogo się nie boisz
Że jak przyjdą do nas to ich zjesz, cały ty!
Liście z drzew spadają masłem na dół
Ty w tej samej kurtce szósty rok
Na koncertach krzyczysz: "Więcej czadu!"
I czytając w wannie tracisz wzrok
Jesteś lekiem na całe zło
I nadzieją na przyszły rok
Jesteś gwiazdą w ciemności, mistrzem świata w radości
Oto cały ty
Jesteś lekiem na całe zło
I nadzieją na przyszły rok
Jesteś Alfą-Omegą, hymnem, kolędą
Oto cały ty, nie nazwany ty...
Gdy głupota z biedą już mnie mają
Robisz małpę i mam w domu cyrk
W oczach ognie znów się zapalają
I dla ciebie tylko chcę znów żyć...
Jesteś lekiem na całe zło
I nadzieją na przyszły rok
Jesteś gwiazdą w ciemności, mistrzem świata w radości
Oto cały ty
Jesteś lekiem na całe zło
I nadzieją na przyszły rok
Jesteś Alfą-Omegą, hymnem, kolędą
Oto cały ty, nie nazwany ty...
===================
"Jestes Lekiem Na Cale Zlo" ("You're The Cure For All The Evil") is the best known song of Krystyna Pronko, a highly talented Polish vocalist born in 1947. I have translated the text, enjoy - and if you want to see the original version, then just scroll your mouse a bit higher.
You keep on writing slogans on my palm
Then remove the marker with a brush
You say that you fear no-one
And if they come you'll eat them... this is you
The leaves fall from trees upside down
You keep wearing the same jacket for the 6th year
On the concerts you yell "More energy!"
Reading in the bathtub you worsen your sight
You're the cure for all the evil
And the hope for the next year
You're a star in the darkness, world champion in joy
This is you
You're the cure for all the evil
And the hope for the next year
You're the Alpha-Omega, hymn, carrol
This is you... un-named you
When stupidity and poverty finally get me
You're a monkey and my house is a circus
In the eyes the fire's lighting
Only for you I want to live...
You're the cure for all the evil
And the hope for the next year
You're a star in the darkness, world champion in joy
This is you
You're the cure for all the evil
And the hope for the next year
You're the Alpha-Omega, hymn, carrol
This is you... un-named youKombi - NietykalniCziczeko2007-04-16 | Wspaniała piosenka...
Kim też są, że mają nas za nic
Przecież ból ich zrodził ten sam
Jaki znak na niebie zastali
Że teraz nie chcą go znać
Kim też są, że wierzą w swe męstwo
I od lat cytują swój mit
Kto im dał tę wiarę w zwycięstwo
No i nauczył, jak żyć
Ref.
Nietykalni żyją pośród nas
Nietykalni oszukują czas
Nietykalni ciągle jeszcze są
Nietykalni, skamieniałe zło
Nie od dziś ze światem skłóceni
Myślą, że to ich wybrał los
Wiedzą, jak nie chodzić po ziemi
Jak obok być cały czas
Kryją się za ścianą pozorów
Każdy z nich uników zna sto
Ale nikt nie sprawdził na pewno
Jak blisko czasem na dno
Ref.
Nietykalni żyją pośród nas...Queen - DelilahCziczeko2007-04-16 | A very peculiar song on 'Innuendo', the last album of Queen released before Freddie Mercury's death. Delilah was the name of Mercury's beloved cat. The song features Queen members... meowing! When Roger Taylor had first heard about the idea of the song, he hated it, but considering Freddie's deteriorating health and the fact that it might have been one of his last wishes - he agreed to do the song.
I wonder what happened to Delilah, is she still alive? What happened to her after Freddie passed away? Did she miss her owner as much as thousands of people do...?
During the first part of the song you can see the picture of Delilah herself. The second cat is my own one, who was the joy & happiness of my life. He was put down on 23 November 2011, just a day before the 20th anniversary of Freddie's death...
Lyrics:
Delilah, Delilah
Oh my, oh my, oh my
You're irresistible
You make me smile when I'm just about to cry
You bring me hope, you make me laugh and I like it
You get away with murder so innocent
But when you throw a moody you run claws and you bite
That's alright!
Delilah, Delilah, oh my, oh my, oh my
You're unpredictable
You make me so very happy
When you cuddle up and go to sleep beside me
And then you make me slightly mad
When you pee all over my chippendale suite
Delilah, Delilah
You take over my house and home
You even try to answer my telephone
Delilah, you're the apple of my eye
Meeow, meeow, meeow!
Delilah - I love you, Delilah
Ooh, you make me so very happy
You give me kisses
And I go out of my mind ooh
Meeow, meeow, meeow, meeow
You're irresistible - I love you Delilah
Delilah - I love you
You make me very happy...
Oooh - I love your kisses
Oooh - I love your kisses
I love your kisses
I love your kisses
I love your, your, your kisses
I love your kisses...Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of LoveCziczeko2007-04-13 | One of the most beautiful songs ever written, proving - whatever the time, whatever the place - what is this one most important Thing in our lives...
Dedicated to Esmée Denters.
Lyrics:
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away-yeah
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door...Queen - Dont Try So HardCziczeko2007-04-13 | A song that definitely isn't as popular as lots of other Queen ballads - shame on that, it's for sure one of the most beautiful songs of the band - and one of the last sung by Freddie at the same time.
The pictures show the late photos of FM. It makes a bit sad impression along with his thrilling voice - he sang this song in a really moving way...
If you would like to listen to another song by Queen that is exceptionally beautiful, but rather rarely heard - check "Bijou", you won't regret it:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=wBJ9RUHMuwU
Best wishes to you, whoever you are. Enjoy listening to Queen - this music is purely beautiful...
Lyrics:
If you're searching hard for something
Don't try so hard
If you're feeling kind of nothing
Don't try so hard
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave it for another day
Don't try so hard
But if you fall and take a tumble
It won't be far
If you fail you mustn't grumble
Thank your lucky stars
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Stay right where you are
Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
Don't try so hard
One day you'll be a sergeant major
Oh you'll be so proud
Screaming out your bloody orders
Hey, but not too loud
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dress as lamb instead of mutton
But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautiful world
This is the life for me
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me
Oh don't try so hard
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools
They make these rules
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard
Don't try so hard...Payola$ - Eyes Of A StrangerCziczeko2007-03-16 | When I was a little kid there was a fantastic TV show on one of the TV channels, entitled "Tropical Heat" aka "Sweating Bullets". It was a story of Nick Slaughter, a former policeman and now private investigator, who - along with his friends, Sylvie, Ian, Spider, Carillo and others solved the most puzzling criminal mysteries - all in a wonderful scenery of a fictious tropical town called Key Mariah.
The series had several trademarks. Among of them were Nick's ponytail, his jeep, passion for women, Sylvie's red hair and wit, Spider's charming foolishness and many other things - including a fantastic intro song "Anyway The Wind Blows" by Fred and Larry Molin.
Reading the comments of guys saying "My childhood flashes before my eyes", I felt in a moment how many years have gone by and shall never return... I wanted to see what other people write about the song and series, and therefore started reading the comments. One of them was written by a person from Canada. I clicked on his profile and saw that among his favourites there was an enigmatic song "Eyes Of A Stranger" by Payola$. I had never heard it before, but the mysterious face of man with a lot of make-up on his face that featured the video made me curious... I went on to watch the video and listen to the song.
It was one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard.
Then came the standard process of "googling", and soon I knew a lot about the band. They were a sort of another "one hit wonder", who lighted up like a candle and faded so fast that almost no one noticed... it didn't discourage me though. I got several mp3s of the band ("The Best Of The Payolas") and to be honest I didn't like them too much - they were nowhere near as good as "Eyes..."
As far as I remember, the video that the Canadian posted was watched around 200.000 times and had lots of comments, often including very wise remarks of people all over the world. Unfortunately, this amazing song was removed from youtube some time ago, along with hundreds of other great tunes. It makes me wonder - for whom is the music created? Who found anything bad in the fact that people came to this website every day, finding some joy in those beautiful songs and enlightning their sad, bleak lives?
Anyway, I wanted to do something to change the matter. With the help of my good friend (and by the way - one of the most intelligent and promising youngsters of the world - and I'm not exaggerating) Sz.G. I made this video. It doesn't show the actual teledisc, as it would probably be treated as exceeding copyright laws and therefore deleted within a few days. It just shows the photo of the wonderful group of people, who became famous in the 80's with their great hit, "Eyes Of A Stranger". The rest, as they say, was history...
Here's the lyrics to the song:
Can I touch you to see if you're real?
Is it nothing this something I feel?
Can my heart take the strain?
Or will it break down again?
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
Have I been sleeping for all these years?
Is it magic that makes you appear?
When you walked in the room I felt my heart race
But you acted rude and I looked in your face
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger...
=============================
I've got two small requests my friends. If you found the text above helpful in any way, could you please:
1) try to help me with the "???" in the lyrics? I'm not able to figure out what was sung there... I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm sure that some of you are and would be able to hear those few words. I'd be very grateful.
EDIT 6th May 2007: thanks for submitting the correct lyrics Liskacz! Now everything is OK.
2) If you enjoyed this song, try this one... the band is from Britain, and that's the only major difference - they also released one big hit and later faded from the music scene, they were the members of the New Wave... Their biggest song is beautiful, touching and the type of the ones that you'll never forget. After hearing about the flowers screaming their joy in summer light you'll too find that no matter how sad and bad is everything around us - there's still beauty, charm and happiness that is within the reach of our hands... it's just our task to find it and never let it go.
