'Akurat' has two meanings in Polish: 'exactly' or 'yeah, right'. Music of the band can be credited as a fusion between punk rock, reggae, ska and pop.
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.

O Dziewiątce
Akurat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nie boję się obietnic
Nie lękam się zazdrości
Nie dbam o nagrody
Kpię z przyzwoitości

Lecz chociaż tak beztrosko
Płyną moje dni
Przez jedną małą sprawę

Często ocieram łzy

Problem cały w tym
Nie mogę sobą być
Bo dziewięć różnych snów
Co noc przychodzi śnić

Dziewięć naraz myśli
Dziewięć marzeń mam
Dziewięć pocałunków
Od dziewięciu pięknych dam

Lecz jedno tylko ciało
Na dziewięć rwących serc
Stanowczo to za mało
Wiec mogę chcieć

Mieć jeszcze jedno ciało
Na dziewięć rwących serc

To ciągle jest za mało
Wiec mogę więcej chcieć

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Akurat's "O Dziewiątce" reflect the singer's carefree attitude towards promises, jealousy, and rewards, as well as their tendency to mock decency. Despite this, the singer cannot help but feel a certain sadness due to a recurring dream that causes them to cry. The problem lies in the fact that they cannot be themselves because they have nine different dreams that come to them each night. These nine dreams consist of nine different thoughts, nine different desires, and nine different kisses from nine different beautiful women. However, there is only one body to satisfy the nine hearts that are eagerly waiting. As a result, the singer can't help but want to have more bodies to satisfy all of them.

The song touches on the idea that sometimes our desires can overwhelm us, and we can feel trapped in our choices. The singer is someone who enjoys living in the moment and doesn't worry too much about the future. However, their recurring dreams remind them that there are certain longings they cannot fulfill. The juxtaposition of the singer's nonchalant attitude to their longing creates a complex and nuanced portrayal of a person struggling with their wants and needs.
