1) Poland's popular music act of the 1990s. The band was founded in Szczecin, Poland in 1992 by guitarist Piotr Banach and charismatic lead singer Kasia Nosowska.
Although Hey sometimes described themselves as Poland's first grunge band, their melodic, guitar-driven rock and eclectic appearance owed more to New Wave and heavy metal influences; their first three albums contained songs in both Polish and English. During the band's mid-1990s heyday, they sold out stadiums throughout Poland, and attempted to break into the English-language market with a series of concerts overseas and an English version of their 1995 album. When this failed to arouse interest, the band began to write in Polish only, and gradually adopted a harder-edged, more industrial-influenced sound.
2) A Korean female singer who had a hit called "Je t'aime", recorded in both Korean and French. She has released three albums so far, her latest being recorded in 2008. Little is known about the Korean Hey, but she is still active and promoting the latest EP. See 해이.
3) Only German project of heyrec label (see [[http://heyrec.org]]) is represented at Last.fm with its tune of "Hey - Sans Toi".
4) Japanese video game developer, Shohei Yuki (ユキ ショウヘイ). He composed FM Synth music for his games. Capitalization of the name for this artist is 'HEY'.

Hey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oto drzewo.
Spójrz na prawo, spójrz.
Mężczyzna z psem przygląda się drzewu.
Spójrz na lewo, spójrz.
Myślisz mój Boże jakie to drzewo piękne.
Spójrz na prawo, spójrz.
Wszystko nam się śni,
Ja tobie, a ty mi (la, la, la)
Wcale nie ma nas,
Nie dziejemy się (la, la, la)
Spójrz (spójrz) na prawo.
Mężczyzna z psem zniknął.
Spójrz (spójrz) na lewo.
Drzewo, mężczyzna i bezpański pies.
Wszystko nam się śni
Ja tobie, a ty mi (la, la, la)
Wcale nie ma nas
Nie dziejemy się (la, la, la) (x2)
The song "Fotografia" by Hey opens with a simple yet vivid description of a scene: there's a tree on the left, and on the right, a man with a dog is looking at it. The repetition of this instruction to "look left, look right" is a bit hypnotic at first, but it sets up an important theme of the song: perspective. The singer sees the tree as beautiful, but the man and the dog seem indifferent to it. This observation leads the vocalist to declare that "everything is a dream", that they are not really present in the scene, but only imagining it. The refrain "Ja tobie, a ty mi" ("Me to you, you to me") reinforces this idea of shared perception, a connection between two people who are not really there.
As the song continues, the man and the dog disappear, leaving only the tree and the singer's own musings. The repetition of the refrain and the earlier descriptions of the scene create a sense of isolation, as if the singer is cut off from the rest of the world. The final line, "Nie dziejemy się" ("We don't happen"), is a bleak acknowledgment of this sense of stasis. The song seems to be arguing that without shared experience and appreciation, life is empty and meaningless.
Overall, "Fotografia" is a haunting song, its melancholic melody and delicate instrumentation reinforcing the sense of isolation and disconnection in the lyrics. The repeated calls to "look left, look right" are a reminder that perspective shapes what we see and how we experience the world, and that without shared experience, life can be a lonely dream.

W sumie, żeby się przekonać, że istniejemy naprawdę, człowiek musiałby wyjść poza wszechświat i zobaczyć go. Wtedy bylibyśmy pewni, że istniejemy, a nie tylko wierzymy w lustra odbicie. Hmm.. straszliwie filozoficzna ta piosenka ;-)

sugestywna metafora samobójstwa, w sumie smutna piosenka, jak większość tekstów Pani Kasi, majstersztyk.

Dalczego mężczyzna poszedł na lewo do Kobiety a pies stał się bezdomny?

Dla mnie ten tekst wcale nie jest śmieszny. Wręcz przeciwnie, jest smutny.
