Sławek Krzanowski's work is a very personal experience for me. His sensitivity and songwriting ability really speak to me. I love listening to the album "On the Way" from over a year ago, especially when I'm on the move. And today, I invite you to listen to Sławek Krzanowski's new single "I'll Be Back in a Moment".
Music
Here, we're dealing with several fascinating layers. First, we hear the tinkling of keys, then a bass roller enters until finally a pulsating beat jumps onto the stage! The music encourages swaying and gazing up at the sky. As time passes, I feel the urge to follow Sławek further, wondering where he went?
Words
Sławek has an extraordinary talent for flipping words in his hands - like a coin. Sometimes it happens that I think I understand what he wants to say, but then it turns out to be different. It's like a walk back and forth, but full of surprises and not the same way.
Lyrics:
Polish: (English below)
Nim zgasną światła, opadnie kurz
Dokoła świat zatrzyma się już
Nim znowu zabraknie mi zimnej krwi
Wracam za chwilę, zamykam drzwi
Wracam za chwilę
Wśród zwykłych lat, niezwykłych dni
Znów nie udało się lepszym być
Wiesz dobrze wszystko to słowa na wiatr
Ty nic nie odpowiesz, zbyt dobrze mnie znasz
Wracam za chwilę
Zostawić to co znam by udać się
Tam gdzie nie byłem, gdzie jeszcze nie byłem
Przez chwilę być kimś innym w twoich oczach
Choćby przez chwilę, choćby przez chwilę
Więc przypomnę sobie tylko czego chcę
I wrócę za chwilę, wrócę za chwilę
Wracam za chwilę, wracam za chwilę
Tutaj jest wszystko co mam
English:
Before the lights go out and the dust settles
The world around will already have stopped
Before I find myself lacking in cold blood again
I'll be back in a moment, I'm closing the door
I'll be back in a moment
Amongst ordinary years, extraordinary days
Once again, I've failed to be better
You well know, all this is just words to the wind
You won't reply, you know me too well
I'll be back in a moment
To leave behind what I know to venture forth
To places where I haven't been, where I've yet to be
For a moment, to be someone else in your eyes
Even just for a moment, even just for a while
So, I'll only remind myself of what I want
And I'll return in a moment, I'll be back shortly
I'll be back in a moment, returning shortly
Here is everything that I have
