Since I mentioned Czech group Oceán in another thread (10 best concerts), I got trapped in YouTube history... and I can't help but think about this:

And your task here is: Since it is in czech language, just by the feel of it, what do you think is the lyrics about? :-) I am curious, tell me your feelings. I will let you know later.

(OK, technically, this is not Oceán but sub-project Shalom when singer Petr Muk was going through difficult times with divorce etc, rest of Oceán did not want to do his new songs, except synth dude Petr Kučera who said "I like it, let's do this" and so was Shalom created.)

Maybe this thread will just fade away, but that's OK. Just miss the dude (Petr Muk 1965 - 2010).

PS: 8 months. EIGHT - f***king MONTHS. That's how long this song charted in Czechoslovakia. Can you imagine?

...and bonus, for me probably the best Shalom track:

Now, tell me the voice is doing nothing to you, I will not believe.

OK I know I am spamming a bit now, but I promise this is the last one...

This from the last, and with "last" I mean last, there will be nothing more. "Funny" how now we can see signs of saying "good-bye" in the songs, while of course that's silly... I hope. In this song, Petr sings about... World trying more to get me out of my way, only thanks to your presence I can manage, try to tell me what next, how to cross, days when I am now alone here... they're invinting me to darkness... laughter in distance... when the fire is losing its face during night... don't let them see sadness in my face when you're leaving...

Fuck I'm losing it, sorry.
