Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) A singer-songwriter, who names Peter Hammill, Kate Bush, and "Radiohead" among her musical influences, always is worth checking out. An in this case, it really pays off. I just love it when Malwina A. Tkacz aka Joan Silentio sings in her native language - Polish! To me, it's one of the world's most beautiful languages... Favorite track: grolle nicht.

Pictures recalled and still now they burn Riding the swell, contradictions returned A soundtrack of sorts accompanies the scene The depth of the feeling, the fracturing dreams All of the scenes including the last All of the words and pages we passed Everything changed, no longer restrained Emotions that capture, again and again and again Oh this game, its bitter embrace We play it regardless of time and of place Oh how we live, to love not to hate In spite of the silence, because of the faith All of the scenes including the last All of the words and pages we passed Everything changed, no longer restrained Emotions that capture again and again and again ***** "Goodbye my love" came the breathless whisper as she half-turned on the threshold Her body a silhouette back-lit by the yellow glow of the street-lamp Painfully she had to But never wanted to In the depths of her heart "You know I love you still. In spite of everything" Then she turned and the apartment door closed Shutting out and shutting in The key turned in the lock Two Alone And all was gone All was gone Pictures Recalled

odejdź - tak będzie lepiej (brzęk szklanki) odejdź – oddam ci płyty i książki parę listów wylewnych spalę nie nie boję się wcale i nie wiem co to żal (drżenie ramion) odejdź - tak będzie lepiej (brzęk szklanki) nie wiem co to żal ty też swoje listy spal (nie wiem co to żal chociaż serce pęka)

A thousand times I've gazed at you Regards, the sum of all No other world, no other sound, No more besieged by nearing Fall A thousand ships could not begin To reckon all you're worth O'er land and sea, through storm and stress My fire, my air, my earth A thousand sighs, A thousand tears, A thousand miles, A thousand years' From youthful morn to evening wise This unity of you and I Into the night but free of fear Two souls belong inevitably I'd write these words, I'd voice these thoughts I'd hold you close, Aloft once more

ja nie tęsknię do ciebie ja nie czekam już wcale bez żalu - z żalem moje dni zapisane jak droga jak przez Boga zaklęta mijam drzewa pijane ja nie tęsknię do ciebie bo nie da się tak tęsknić i zarzucać poezji że tak mało wyraża jeśli jesteś to wołaj pobiegnę z końca świata ja nie tęsknię do ciebie ja nie wołam już wcale bez żalu - z żalem moje dni zapisane jak droga jak przez Boga zaklęte mijam drzewa pijane

about

"But already my desire and my will
were being turned like a wheel, all at one speed,
by the Love which moves the sun and the other stars" - D. A.

This album is mainly inspired by Divine Comedy, Polish poetry of interwar period, Preraphaelites and a few dear people.

"A już wtórzyła pragnieniu i woli
Jak koło, które w parze z kołem krąży,
Miłość, co wprawia w ruch słońce i gwiazdy" - D. A.

Inspiracją tego albumu była głównie Boska Komedia, polska poezja dwudziestolecia międzywojennego, Prerafaelici i parę drogich mi osób.
