So Many Words...
From their first performance in June 2003 until the recording of their first album, Irish Stew had been looking for their own style. A few people and a few different instruments passed through the band untill the winning combination at that time was found. Finally, the band's members were Bojan Petrovic (vocals, tin whistle), Nenad Gavrilov (guitar), Ana Mrkobrada (violin), Ivan Djuric (banjo), Aleksandar Gospodinov (bass guitar) and Pavle Medan (drums). Irish Stew changed its members because they were on a search for their musical selves. At first, the band played covers of famous Irish folk songs, as well as The Pogues' covers, but soon after that the creativity and inspiration for making their own music arouse. This period gave birth to the hit songs such as Why, Puzzle of Life, Stout, McGee's Daughter, that, together with 8 other songs, found their place on Irish Stew's debut album So Many Words (2005). The making of the album was a big step forward for the band, in other words, going up onto the next level. Many awards received at numerous demo festivals created great expectations from the band and the album, which were justified and even overcome by the whole edition of the album having been sold out rather quickly - in terms of Serbian marketplace.
Dare To Dream
Making of the second album has put the standards even higher, having in mind the success of the first album that needed to be justified. During this period, Irish Stew left their authentic signature on the music scene in Serbia. Compared to the first album, the band allowed themselves to experiment with other musical genres, but they still kept the beloved Irish influence and true emotion as their creativity’s essence. The lining of the band didn’t change much. There were Bojan Petrovic (vocals, tin whistle), Nenad Gavrilov (guitar), Ana Mrkobrada (violin), Ivan Djuric (banjo), Aleksandar Gospodinov (bass guitar) and Marko Krasnic (drums). Album Dare To Dream was released on 2008 and it featured the song Ditch which was, according to many, the best thing brewed by the band until then.
At the moment, Irish Stew spend most of their time in the studio working on their third album whose release is expected in autumn of 2011. New ideas and inexhaustible inspiration!
Last Bottle of Sadness
Irish Stew of Sindidun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's no one but you on my mind
And the thoughts about you I know are not a crime
‘cause I left all my crimes behind
And even in the fires of devil your voice will be with me
And if I would go to heaven your picture there I would see
So many words for a broken heart
Tears in my eyes from you I will hide
But there's one stuck in my heart
And I don't know why
But I'll cry ‘till I die
In the thoughts about you my mind now is lost
And nothing but you can I see
I'm looking at the sea as I stand by the coast
Real life now is hidden from me
And all the words you said to me were the songs of a lark
And all my shame and glory was for to win your heart
So many words for a broken heart
Tears in my eyes from you I will hide
And all my sorrows I left behind
But there's one stuck in my heart
And I don't know why
But I'll cry ‘till I die
And every new day brings longing for you
I don't know how but it's true
And all my life I live for you
Mirrors hate me but I must face the truth
Tonight my mind will be stolen and I know you will stay
With the last bottle of my sadness I'll fly so far away
So many words for a broken heart
Tears in my eyes from you I will hide
And all my sorrows I left behind
But there's one stuck in my heart
And I don't know why
But I'll cry ‘till I die
So many words for a broken heart
Tears in my eyes from you I will hide
And all my sorrows I left behind
But there's one stuck in my heart
And I don't know why
But I'll cry ‘till I die
