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.
Jesienna
Akurat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Czy było to co miało być od nowa
Jesień jest wtedy gdy myśli zmienia
Tęsknota za czymś czego nie ma
Nadzieje skromne i marzenia wielkie
Jak dżin czekają zamknięte w butelce
Zaglądam do nich pewnie za często
Rozgrzewać jesień rzeczą męską
Meteopaci nie wychodzą z domów
Mierzą tętnicze ciśnienie krwi
Po kryjomu w asyście sitcomu
Czekają na prognozę na najbliższe dni
Niemiłosiernie zwalnia świt
Dzień był tu chwilę potem znikł
Nie robiąc nic zapamiętale
Czekam na to co będzie dalej
Troski pod rękę ze skłonnością do przesady
Jesień to czas jedzenia czekolady
Próśb o lepsze ciągły przemarsz
Tęsknota za czymś czego nie ma
Meteopaci nie wychodzą z domów
Mierzą tętnicze ciśnienie krwi
Po kryjomu w asyście sitcomu
Czekają na prognozę na najbliższe dni
The song "Jesienna" by Akurat is all about the season of autumn and its impact on our thoughts and feelings. The lyrics talk about how autumn is a time of reflection and making evaluations of what has been accomplished and what still needs to be done. It's a season of change, where our thoughts and intentions shift and the feeling of nostalgia for things that are no longer present starts to creep in.
The lyrics suggest that autumn is a season of contrasts. We have big desires and dreams, but sometimes we feel overwhelmed by them. The image of a genie trapped in a bottle is used to convey that sometimes we hold onto our dreams too tightly, and we need to allow them some space to breathe. The repetitive lines of "tęsknota za czymś czego nie ma" (longing for something that isn't there) highlight this sense of yearning and longing that can come with the season.
The lyrics also touch on how the weather affects our mood during autumn. The use of the term "meteopaci" (weather sufferers) suggests that people who are particularly affected by the changing weather patterns may find themselves withdrawing from social activities and retreating into their homes. The song suggests that this can be a particularly challenging time to navigate without feeling overwhelmed.
Overall, "Jesienna" is a song about the introspective nature of autumn and how it can impact our emotional state. The lyrics speak to the need for balance and the importance of taking care of ourselves during this season of change.
