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!
Take Me High
Irish Stew of Sindidun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last ray of hope after dream so sweet
And I know how to light the fire in your eyes
Heart beats the sound of retreat
Chorus:
Wanna be my darling? Take me high, take me low.
Wanna walk with me (wake by me)? Find the road where no one goes.
Wanna be my darling? Take me high, take me low.
Play all your cards on me, you don't need to pine
Maybe you're the one who holds the key
Between the perfect world and the bottom line
There's a hidden place for you and me
The lyrics of Irish Stew of Sindidun's song Take Me High is a representation of a love affair that is in its prime. The singer is confident in the knowledge that their lover can't resist coming to them in the middle of the night. He recognizes the power he has over her and knows just how to ignite the passion in her with his mere presence. He acknowledges the beating of her heart, which represents her vulnerability and how passionate they both are. When they are together, nothing else will matter; it's always just them two against the world, and nothing can break the bond that they share.
The chorus of the song essentially asks if the lover is willing to go on a journey with him, no matter where that journey may lead them. He wants her to walk with him on a path that is yet to be discovered; he wants to share all his highs and lows with her. The singer wants his lover to catch his breath when he is out of wind, to provide support and encouragement when he is feeling down. He wants to go all in with her, and if she is willing to take the plunge with him, together, they can explore a hidden place that holds infinite possibilities.

@bo88gdan Hvala puno :) Na žalost zbog ove cele situacije prestala sam sa putovanjima, ali ni ne mogu da se žalim jer sam se naputovala za 5 godina iha-ha 😅 Što ne znači da ne bih još da nije ovako kako je... Šta da se radi, svima nam je tako... Uživajte u muzici i obavezno mi javite ako ste našli neke favorite među njima 😊

Imamo puno umetnika sa istim problemom: super su, ali nekako ne uspevaju da dođu do nas, slušaoca. Zato sam ja napravila plejlistu sa svim našim umetnicima koji zaslužuju svetsku scenu. Na toj plejlisti ima mnogo različitih žanrova, pa ako hoćete poslušajte s vremena na vreme na shuffle i otkrijte novi bend koji će Vam se svideti i koji ćete dodati i u vaše plejliste :)

Ko bi rekao da je ova stvar još od 2011. u mojoj playlisti!
Neverovatno kako proleteše godine.

Čuo sam vas prvi put kao predgrupu na Antieurovizijskom koncertu Kombata, i mogu da kažem da mi je žao što nisam ranije znao za vas. Odlični ste, a pogotovo ova stvar!!! Nastavite da radite ovo što radite, ni slučajno ne prelazite u komercijalu, i imaćete fanova!
