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.

Collage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With waiting arms
Her loving eyes
Mesmerize
Nothing's real
Nothing true
The light is me
No time
No space
No fear
Safe
I reach my hand
To touch her hair
Smoothed by the wind
Perfumed by the fall
Nothing's real
Nothing's true
Only me
Even you
Safe
From sorrow and pain
Safe
Like a tear in a rain
I sail beyond
The reefs of words
As i dive into
The silence
Nothing's real
Nothing's true
Dusk is me
Dawn is you
"Safe" by Collage tells the story of a person who finds solace in the arms of a loved one. The song suggests that love and connection with another human being is the only source of true reality, and everything else is a mere illusion. The opening lines, “There she comes with waiting arms, her loving eyes mesmerize”, paint the picture of the lauded loved one waiting for the person, ready to provide a safe haven for them. The words, “Nothing's real, nothing true, the light is me, the rest is you” suggest that love is the only thing that is real, and it is the only element of a person's existence that truly matters.
The chorus of the song echoes this sentiment, claiming that there is “No time, no space, no fear, safe”. It suggests that true love transcends all boundaries, and that nothing can stand in the way of two people who truly love and care for each other. The final verse, “As I dive into the silence, nothing's real, nothing's true, dusk is me, dawn is you”, implies that this love exists in the spaces between words, in the moments of quiet when the entire world falls away.

Kocham ten album i dlatego nie rozumiem, jaki jest sens robić z niego wyciąg. Tyle pięknych utworów poza burtą.
