Brodka’s first album, mature for a teenager, amazed audiences with its sensitivity and fresh approach to pop music ‐ but also proved that Brodka has an incredible voice. Brodka’s second album, released two years later, also reached ‘Golden Record’ status. The singer’s latest LP, Granda, came after a break in music‐making and a conscious decision to change directions. Granda shows a more experienced, worldly and experimental side to Brodka. The music ‐ hard to define but showing folk, electronic and experimental traits, with a pop background ‐ was produced and co‐composed by Bartosz Dziedzic.
Granda has reached double platinum status, proving that this bold, new style Brodka has embraced was a smart move. Both Brodka and Dziedzic received acclaim for their work and were nominated for dozens of awards, including the SuperHiro Magazine Award (won), Gala’s Rose (won), Polityka Passport. Poland’s Phonographic Academy nominated Brodka for 10 Fryderyki awards (the most important awards in Polish music business), and the singer won 4 for Best Female Vocalist, Best Pop Album, Best Music Production, Best Music Video in 2011. In 2012 she was nominated for MTV European Music Awards. In 2013 she was angain nominated to Fryderyki awards in 3 cathegories: Best Album (LAX), Best Song ("Varsovie") and Best Artist of the year 2012.
Since the release of Granda, Brodka has been touring with her band all over Poland. They played over 60 concerts and are currently preparing to tour the LAX EP and the EP’s singles: Varsovie and Dancing Shoes. Besides music, Brodka’s other passions include photography and fashion, proven by the fact that, at age 24, she is already considered an icon by Poland’s fashion magazines. Brodka, hailing from the Silesian town of Zywiec, known for it’s folk‐music roots and determined inhabitants, is proving over and over again that she sets high goals and rises to the challenge of meeting them. Her latest venture into singing in English only serves to show that Brodka is constantly developing ‐ both personally and musically ‐ and her sales and concert attendance prove that she has staying‐power.

Brodka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a fire in my precious soul
No single tear
Beyond control
As the night so long
Got no guru that would take me home
My lonely heart
Horses
Flames catch on fire
Horses
Riders of the night
And faced
Look in the dark
Look in the dark
Look in the dark
In the void I go
Nothing here...
Here comes the night
My midnight ride
Horses
Flames catch on fire
Horses
Riders of the night
And faces
Look in the dark
Look in the dark
Look in the dark
Horses
Flames catch on fire
Horses
Riders of the night
And faces
Look in the dark
Look in the dark
Look in the dark
The lyrics of Brodka’s song “Horses” describe a surreal and haunting journey through the night. The opening line, “I’m in a car crash, curled,” suggests a state of physical and emotional distress. The imagery of a “fire in my precious soul” and “no single tear beyond control” further emphasizes the intensity of the situation.
The singer of the song is lost and searching for guidance, with no spiritual leader or “guru” to offer solace. The repetition of the phrase “look in the dark” suggests a desire to find meaning in the unknown and unseen.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of “Horses, flames catch on fire, riders of the night,” conjures up a sense of fear and awe. The horses represent a powerful force, both beautiful and dangerous. The final line, “my midnight ride,” suggests a sense of recklessness and abandon, as the singer surrenders to the unknown.
Overall, “Horses” is a haunting and mystical song that invites multiple interpretations. It captures a sense of unease and uncertainty that is both universal and deeply personal.

Essas Letras Mortas
Estou em um acidente de carro, enrolado
Há um fogo na minha preciosa alma
Nenhuma lágrima
Além do controle
Como a noite é longa
Não tenho nenhum guru
Meu coração solitário
Do fim ao começo
Cavalos
Chamas pegando fogo
Cavalos
Cavaleiros da noite
E enfrentou
Olhe no escuro
Olhe no escuro
Olhe no escuro
No vazio eu vou
Nada aqui...
Aí vem a noite
Meu passeio da meia noite
Cavalos
Chamas pegando fogo
Cavalos
Cavaleiros da noite
E rostos
Olhe no escuro
Olhe no escuro
Olhe no escuro
Cavalos
Chamas pegando fogo
Cavalos
Cavaleiros da noite
E rostos
Olhe no escuro
Olhe no escuro
Olhe no escuro

Zauważyłem, że piosenki z horses są całkiem zajebiste.
Goodbye horses - mistrz
Horse is not a home - supa
Wild horses - uber
Arabian horse - cały album dobry w chuj
Horses - póki co bardzo spoko
A i jeszcze Band of horses ale to już zespół

Makes me proud to have polish roots. I’m Australian but my parents are polish so I’m forever looking at polish stuff on YouTube and this is fucking awesome 👍

you should be also proud of INXS. legendary band. one of my favourite bands. they recorded so many timeless masterpieces.
Kowalski Leon
and btw: you should write not only "Australian" with first capital letter, but "Polish" too, especially, if you are so proud of your Polish roots.

Nie trawiłem jej - przełączałem stację w radiu gdy ją puszczali. Mijały lata, a Monika robiła się coraz bardziej dojrzała i hipnotyzująca. Teraz ciężko byłoby mi bez jej muzyki żyć. Myślę, że jeszcze nie raz mnie zaskoczy. ...po prostu tam gdzie inni kończą, ona dopiero zaczyna!

Jestem dumny, że w Polsce ktoś jeszcze tworzy taką muzykę!
Arcydzieło w każdym calu!
