Przedwojenna Polska - Tango, Faliszewski 1930

This tango "Głos z daleka" (which translates into English as "Voice From Afar") is kind of weird. The music is haunting, while the text is just repulsive. A very bad poetry, almost graphomanic - about some voice, which calls the singer thru the windy, snowy, wintery night, and - guess, what a voice is it? A voice of love, as all of us probably guessed. (Before love - also appears, God knows why, the voice od "a suffering"). Yet, alltogetger, this text and this music make an unforgetable tango - very popular in pre-war Poland. It's smooth, rhythmical and keen in seducing us - like all tangos do - in their old, kitschy and irresistable way of seducing.

Ależ ja szukam tej piosenki od 30 lat!Przywołuje cudowne wspomnienia ...z lat 1980, nie 1930 ale czy to roznica?

I second ksmp01. Not understanding it, it sounds like a very pleasing tango. The posters are gorgeous!

sorry for the repetion: blame YT's quirks.

[kspm01]

I don't understand a thing and I hear a wonderfully orchestrated and sung piece. At least the interrpretation is awesome.

Ok, this is my 4th and last attempt to post my comment about the voice being that of the papierosy after one has quit smoking. And how good it is sometimes not to know the meaning of the words so we can focus on the music and graphics.

[barbcard]

Don't know why YT keeps deleting my comment that the voice comes from all those papierosy after one has quit smoking. Also the advantages of not knowing the meaning of some lyrics so as to focus on the music and graphics. They'd better not censor this latest effort!
