@@mareksicinski449 ....I think you misunderstood what I was saying. it was a compliment, hence the "renaissance man" reference. I was always fascinated to how open mined he was to any and all artforms as it were. He's been my # 1 idol since I was 12-14 and I'm 60 this year.
Bowie visited Warsaw in April 1976. His musical composition (with the aid of Eno) expresses in sound much of what he saw and felt when confronted with a city wrecked by Nazi Germans, Stalinist Soviets and Polish Stalinists. Helokanie might well have provided him with hope, but even this he turned into a dirge of absolute despair. "Warszawa" conveys a great deal more than just about any Pole (let alone Silesian) would honestly (and, moreover, directly) have to express about the city they all too willingly detest for being the capital of Poland - ignoring the quintessential fact that this had once been a very great city in itself. But that's now distant and very remote history.
David Bowie said that he never meant the song to capture the city like some people believed he did. He was looking to the album as a concept and Warszawa is a piece of it. When he left the train at the station for an hour, went into a record shop and got hold of that music by chance. Later it reminded him when recorded Low.
My town of birth wasn't "wrecked by Stalinist Soviets and Polish Stalinists", it was rebuilt by them and by the people of Warsaw from the ashes - in a borderline miraculous effort.
@@mzurowski5470Warsaw was rebuilt from the ashes by Poles in the difficult stalinist times. Not because of the soviets, but in spite of their rule. Poles never wanted anything to do with stalin. The soviets destroyed hundreds of Polish cities, destroyed the Polish economy and for half a century limited the development of Poland and its potential.
"all too willingly detest" what is that evens upposed to mean? "Any Pole"? What are you talking about? Polish puppets came into the ruins, a few buildings were knocked down for Parade Square but so what
Inspiracją dla Bowiego mogła być ta płyta Zespołu "Śląsk", którą kupił w Warszawie, jednak wykonanie na płycie "Low" jest z innego kraju karpackiego, gdzie ta tradycyjna Pieśń, też funkcjonowała.
I respectfully disagree, at the very least you've got it backwards! It is fascinating to hear what particular essences David Bowie captured so exactly from this performance, without slavishly copying it or ripping it off, imo.
David Bowie wrote this masterpiece in 1943, when he was just 8 years old. His mother, who was polish co-wrote the lyrics. Later on, polish girlgroup Mezo Wsze, realesed their rendition of Bowie's song. They represented Poland in Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 with a beautiful ballad Edi ta go are niack and ended up at second position.
Bowie wasn;t born until 1947. Even if you meant 1955, his mom was British. Why do people have to spread fake stories? I'd like to know your information source. The internet I'm assuming.
So beautifu💎🥲💎 Bowie caught its essence …… so 🔥 His interpretation is dark and sorrowful , but this Polish music is so uplifting and proud. he’s so fucking wonderful Only Bowie could capture both ❤️
Tyle, że słyszałem "Helokanie" zespołu Śląsk jako dziecko na dziesięć lat przed publikacją utworu "Varsovie" przez Bowiego. Proszę nie odwracać biegu historii.
Trochę przesada, jestem wielką miłośniczką jego twórczości. Jednak to, że w ludowej piosence pasterzy doszukiwał się uciśnionych komunizmem obywateli, to lekkie przegięcie. Zaś to miauczenie kota, które odwalił Kiedis z Red Hot Chilli Peppers na jakimś ich koncercie, mnie kompletnie osłabiło.
@@phazeyarrhythmicattacker3792 Ja też uwielbia Bowiego, ale ja jego wersja Helokania to jakieś popierduchy, więc śmiało mogę powiedzieć że Śląsk zabija swoją wersją Bowiego. A o co chodzi z tym ćpunem z Red Hotów?
@@jacekjamro2796 Tak, zgadzam się, Warszawa to jakieś pitu pitu, a niektórzy uważają ją za najwybitniejszy utwór syntezatorowy. :D Tutaj Warszawa w wykonaniu ćpuna z Red Hotów: ua-cam.com/video/QztUJN6tcvw/v-deo.html

I'm glad that David Bowie led me to discover this song and this performance. It is beautiful, magic, poetic, haunting...
Bowieologist's deep zone.
I think the most fascinating thing is the fact Bowie would even buy an album like this in the first place. He really was a renaissance man.
Or it was Eno.
that is a bit rude to say, he was stopping by and a folk music album caught his eye

It’s a local folk album in a country
I figure he was inspired while on the train through Poland and bought some regional music to further inspire him in his sing writing.
Kiedy słucham tego po długiej przerwie, zawsze mi się oczy pocą :)
Spiritual. Beautiful.
i’m floating to this right now

Śląsk najpiękniej wykonuje tę piosenkę i nikt temu zespołowi nie dorównuje.
100% racji.
