Last year Akurat gave almost 100 concerts becoming one of the most popular college groups. Their main asset is unique unpretentious style escaping classification. Some link them to reggae legends like Daab and Gedeon Jerubal and even to UB40. To others they are the heirs of the independent stars like Mr.Zoob, Kazik and Kult. AKURAT created their own recognizable style. Their music has loads of positive energy and reflects the joy of playing. It’s a mixture of rock with a solid dose of ska music and intriguing lyrics perfectly describing reality.
AKURAT was set up in November 1994 in Bielsko-Biała – the city in southern Poland called “the second Cracow” - by students with different professional aspirations - graphic designers, a filmmaker, an actor and two ”educated” musicians. The members of the band did not change and they are - Tomasz Kłaptocz (vocals, trumpet), Piotr Wróbel and Wojciech Żółty (guitars), Przemysław Zwias (saxophone, flute), Ireneusz Wojnar (bass) and Łukasz Gocal (drums). Their career begun with a few amateur contests, which brought them prizes (in Bielsko and Andrychów). Later they made their way to Przystanek Woodstock festival in Żary, where they performed three times (in 1998, 1999 and 2001) for thousands of people. They also gave concerts in Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Czech Republic and Slovakia. In 2001 AKURAT recorded their first album ”Pomarańcza” (Orange) – with hits: ”Hahaczyk”, ”Espania”, ”Droga długa jest” (Long is the road) and ”Lubię mówić z Tobą” (I like talking with you). Their next album ”Prowincja” (Province) was issued with their own resources and despite of little promotion turned out to be a success – singles ”Wiej-ska” and ”Do prostego człowieka” (To the simple man) – were on charts in independent radio stations.
Charismatic vocalist, great sound of brass, excellent guitarists and efficient rhythmic section are the main assets of the band, which will publish their new album “Fantasmagorie” (Fantasmagories) in late spring ‘2006. The album, with no doubt, will bring them right to the top of the Polish music scene.
Balet
Akurat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chociaż tego nie chcę wcale
Bo to z czasu mnie okrada
A tu kończy się zabawa
Detalicznie drobiazgowo
Nie wiem czy to znaczy zdrowo
Może jestem zbyt ciekawy
Patrząc w środek każdej sprawy
Idealnie doskonale
Jak zawodowy balet
Gdzie nawet najmniejszy palec
Wprawia w zachwyt całą salę [x2]
Pewnie mogłem to inaczej
Zrobić szybciej bez przesady
Nową drogę jednak czasem
Lubię wybrać dla odmiany
Detalicznie drobiazgowo
Wiem że czasem znaczy zdrowo
Choć to z czasu mnie okrada
Tu zaczyna się zabawa
Idealnie doskonale
Jak zawodowy balet
Gdzie nawet najmniejszy palec
Wprawia w zachwyt całą salę [x2]
Idealnie doskonale
Jak zawodowy balet
Gdzie nawet najmniejszy palec
Wprawia w zachwyt całą salę [x2]
The lyrics of "Balet" by Akurat explore the idea of paying attention to details, even though sometimes it can be frustrating and time-consuming. The singer admits to being curious and wanting to delve deeper into each issue, but also acknowledges that this can be draining. However, the singer finds a certain joy in scrutinizing the details and taking a more thorough approach, even if it means sacrificing some of the fun. The repeated line "Detalicznie drobiazgowo" serves as a reminder of the importance of being attentive to the minutiae, even if it's not always easy.
The metaphor of the ballet is introduced in the chorus, suggesting that paying attention to details can be as beautiful and graceful as a perfectly executed dance. The imagery of the dancer's smallest finger causing an entire audience to be mesmerized reinforces the idea that even seemingly insignificant details can have a powerful impact. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the importance of this message and, combined with the lively guitar riffs and upbeat rhythm, gives the song an uplifting and motivational tone.
