… every one of us can be like Quidam…
Has any of you experienced "music"
That overtakes you with disappearing flute notes,
The birds coming off the guitar's neck excite your thoughts,
The voice takes your mind far away from ire, sadness and evil??
Can any of you tell me, who other than Quidam,
Will I be able to forget about the grayness of the day,
Fall asleep and float away, cave in and not reminiscent,
Disappear and not curse…wake up and experience again??
We know bands in Poland playing lively and happy tunes,
Ones we can sweat it out dancing to :)
If this is what someone will look for in Quidam,
He will be heavily disappointed …:)
What we have here is music which is (at least for me) fulfilling dreams of being within the space of music, meaning being woven in by its branches which is what Quidam is, our innersoul.
At the concert at Club "Zascianek" one could experience real music adventure, a trip to one's own sanctuary…
…There is a place, where solitude has its home.
…It is "my" place, I talk to my soul there.
…It shelters "me" from rain, it shelters "me" from wind, from evil it shelters "me"…
For the first time I heard Bartek Kossowicz singing the "Sanktuarium" in proper person, about himself?? Words of this song in earlier concerts were sang in third person (just like the halfPLUGGED album) which did not suit the song's character. Bartek Kossowicz changed with the text change (and I do not mean his appearance:), he's got more sure of himself, he sings expressively and clearly.
Alone Together is a specific album. I would even say, one straying far away from the way Quidam went until now… the emotions overtake anything the group accomplished before. At Club "Zascianek" I had a strong proof of that:
"I carry love on my shoulders, don't look back 'cos I'm alone"
Not to mention surREvival Tour concerts , we don't need to anymore, what's important is what will happen tomorrow, what had happened after Club "Zascianek":
"Many years has passed since that winter night, now close your eyes and try to forgive just one mistake"
But "Wish You Were Here" played and sang in the true spirit of Pink Floyd, enriched with Maciek Meller’s virtuosy could and did bring tears… I think that the Australian Pink Floyd will not give me what Quidam did on that warm wet February evening … On my hand a small tear, and in my eyes laugh, and all around you…my friend from Last.fm
I would just mention about " *Ruralness *Zascianek " climate of the venue, its stationary lighting and poor acoustics which may interrupt concert reception (it was in my way of taking pictures). But do you remember the concert in the ideal, sterile Studio S-5 of Radio Krakow in Poland?? - in which the band and the public got stuck 100 toothpicks in throats it was not pleasant for the musicians and myself I prefer 100 times more a poor venue where I can be near the band, near the music than "ideal" fake setting.
… you know I can not give a concert review like its done in mass media, I don't know how to, I can not, I wouldn't be myself…
PS I would like to thank Quidam, that for 10 years they are like my shadow, thanks to them I keep on discovering my inner self. Quidam, please be forever this incentive in my life :)
Thank you all who could be with me at this concert, as well as those who wanted but could not attend.
…for my friend Andrea =^..^=
