..a song that came to my mind. I don't know how, don't even remember when.

Thanks a lot for every kind of help in making my first song ever.

...'cause closer is better.
We are making more and more distances in our everyday lives. We are further and further 'cause of screens around us but not only. Far from people, families, friends. Far from reality.

“Who’s there?” I’m asking
I hear the answer slightly somewhere in the air
Is it you or is it him?
This gun doesn’t belong to me

Mouths are closed, hidden words
Throw it away from this ancient box
Close those borders, build a bridge
It could be the way to be with me
Do you really want to be with me?

Do you feel this moment right?
Am I still there in your mind?
Are you happy where you are now?
I hear your voice, this is good sign

‘Cause closer is better, warmer, louder
Don’t click on that, try feel the life 
Crash these screens, nightmares will leave
Just come to me, will you come here?
Just be for me

Can’t  feel you here right now
Your sense, your touch, your sight
I can see how happy you are
I will be fine

Bliżej / Closer

“Practical Arrangement” from “The Last Ship” album originally performed by Sting, composed by Sting and Rob Mathes. This is the polish cover prepared during vocal acting classes in Wasowski Vocal Studio in Warsaw. I sang it for the first time on 26 of January 2021 on the exam in Culture Centre Ochota.

Practical Arrangement "Praktyczne rozwiązanie" - Sting polish cover

It is a first Anathema song I’ve heard and automatically fell in love with their music. Original song is called “Untouchable, part 2” from “Weather systems” released in 2012.

Song from Six Musical in polish. One of most difficult roles I prepared. I was Catherine Howard for a while, who had to become woman in her very early age. Song made for an exam in Wasowski Vocal Studio in Ochota Culture Centre in Warsaw.

Na moment stałam się Kasią! Jedną z żon Henryka VIII. Tą chyba najbardziej zhańbioną, wykorzystaną i tą, która będąc dzieckiem musiała szybko wejść w rolę dorosłej kobiety. W głębi jak każdy chyba człowiek na ziemi szukała po prostu miłości. 
Jedna z trudniejszych ról i utworów, które miałam okazję wykonać. Ale było warto! Kawałek przygotowywany w ramach egzaminu w Studiu Wokalnym im. J. Wasowskiego w Warszawie do musicalu "Six - Sześć"

All you wanna do - Six Musical - polish version

Byłam pewna, że mój "pierwszy polski Disney" będzie zupełnie inny. Uwielbiam te utwory od zawsze i pomimo tego, że w moim sercu na zawsze będzie na pierwszych dwóch miejscach będzie "Król lew" i "Anastazja", to przygodę z bajkami zaczynam tak. Tekst w punkt. Enjoy!
-------
I was sure that my first Disney's polish song will be totally different. I loved these songs since I was a little child and even though my first love is still "Lion King" and "Anastasia", I start my vocal journey through this kind of music with Moana. Lyrics are so meaningful for me. Enjoy!

Pół kroku stąd/How far I'll go cover (Vaiana/Moana) cover

Natural disasters. We have no influence over them. They surprise us at the most unexpected moments. They happen, they wreak havoc and then they disappear. And we have to go on living. Even though we sometimes feel that we have FAILED, that we want to leave and not feel anymore.
When such thoughts come to us, we must believe that we did everything we could in those moments. And now we are left to remember. Sometimes, for example, to sing about it.

I found this video when I was digging through millions of files, looking for completely different things, not related to music. This is a recording from two years ago, the first song during my first (and so far only) concert.What is important here, I sing it with my sister. The song came first, as logistics dictated. Maybe it would have turned out a bit better on my part if it had been, for example, the second or fifth one. There are always a lot of "ifs".
My dream is to record it with a similar line-up (Kuban would touch the guitar this time ;)) in the studio. Of course live too - no repeating, no "cheating" - just like here. I would like to do this in Polish and a little later - with a different (better) voice and emotions that are different every day. For now, I'm saving up for something like this.

Stay tuned!
