1) band named Collage to achieve some success was a mid-1960s Pop Psych/Sunshine Pop band who released a self-titled debut LP in 1967 and at least one follow-up on the SMASH label.
2) was Estonian band "Collage" - a 70s group of forbidden jazz lovers. The group "Collage" was founded in 1966 from students of the Tallinn Conservatory. Their repertoire included arrangements of classical instrumental music, scores for large jazz orchestras, Estonian folk music and original works by Estonian composers. As Estonian runosong had not received widespread use in pop music, it seemed that such use had potential, so folk music achieved a significant position in the groups' repertoire. The other facet of "Collage's" repertoire that has been recorded is jazzed up pop music and vocal arrangements of orchestral scores. The set of discs "Parimad lood 1970-1976" (2002) includes music that "Collage" recorded on records during a period of ten years (3 LP's and one record with four pieces). The final part of the second disc of "Parimad lood 1970-1976" includes music recorded by the Estonian Radio that has not been previously released on records.

Eventually Wajk left the group, being replaced by Jarek Majka. Majka also did not stay very long, though, being replaced by Tomek Różycki. Różycki was the singer for the group when they recorded their first album, Baśnie, in 1990. After recording the album, but prior to the tour, Różycki left the group. They recruited Zbyszek Bieniak to replace him. In the never-ending game of musical chairs of vocalists, Bieniak left just two years later. For a while that year, Wajk returned to the fold, but again, he would not stay long. In fact, by the next year, only Szadkowski and Gil remained. They were joined by Piotr "Mintay" Witkowski (bass), Krzysztof Palczewski (keys), and Robert Amirian as a vocalist.

This prematurely extinct Neo Prog band from Poland was not only the most important band from this country in the 90's; It figures among the best Neo Prog bands in the world. Blending heavy keyboard background with extremelly melodical guitar and vocals, they were able to deliver an original and very interseting music. Intricate tempo changes differenciate this band from the competition amongst their style, with vocals in Polish and English depending on the album.
"Moonshine" is one of the greatest progressive rock CD's of the modern era. This CD features great production, wonderful melodies and singing with superb playing-both as accompaniment and tasty biting solos and fills.

In Your Eyes
Collage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silent hunting for my dreams
Cloudy sky, there's no sign of tomorrow's hope
... just dying lights ...
Now I can feel ... is it real ?
Ceremony in my heart has just begun
Now I feel something I don't really understand
Quiet in despair, lonely as a stone
Frightened as a child before a storm
Lost in promises of a neon dim
Nothing really mattered then to me
... The Night was very bright, the Night was very warm
Dry were leaves and soil, no sign of a storm
Drowning in the crowd, suddenly I gazed deep into your eyes
And now I feel alive
Again
... And now I'm gonna do it my way
Wanna watch it grow inside my heart
I'll never let it go now, never let it die
A thousand flames in every spark
Now I can change the water into the wine
... Down by the river I'm waiting for the Night
Wanna see your eyes in distant stars
I hope to see them now
I saw you lost in skyline crowd
I saw you here today
I will never let you go away
She was The Santa Claus of mine
She gave me love of a new born child
She made me understand my fears
She made me hold on to my dreams
She was my sweetest Juliette
From long forgotten tale of love
She made me understand my fears
She made me hold on to my dreams
Late at night the moon is bright
And weathercock stands still
Leaves are maist, and everything awaken
Fear is just a distant smile
Unclear and so unreal
I'm asleep sheltered by your heartbeat
Here tonight it seems to be forever
Now I can tell you how I feel
I can tell you what is real
Now there's time for You and me
For a smile and for a tear
Cause I know what's in your eyes
... Ceremony has just begun
I know it's love
And love is what I find ...
In your eyes
