The first members of the band were: Admir Ahmetović (drums), Damir Terzić (guitars), Nedim Sinanović (bass) and Dino Šaran (vocals), both of the latter songwriters. Letu Štuke intrigued music critics back then with their vigouros work and numerous concerts on (what was then known as) Sarajevo demo scene. Sadly though, because of the various changes and because the members had to serve in the army, and after that the war in Bosnia during the 1990's - the group falls apart and everything stays still just on their demo recordings.
Members of the band move to various corners of the world, while Dino Šaran after a short stay in Zagreb goes back to Sarajevo. While writing songs for various Croatian musicians (such as Severina and many others) he starts thinking about starting the band again. With his strong will and with big help from the arranger-producer-precusionist Đani Pervan (who in the meantime moved to Paris, and became one of the Darko Rundek & Cargo Orkestar members) in February of 2005. Letu Štuke goes into studio and finally, after 17 years of waiting, their first album is being recorded.
Now famous Croatian label Menart recognizes great potential in Letu Štuke and presses the realese of the album annoucing it as "one of the most interesting rock albums to come out this year".
In early 2008. they release their second album Proteini i ugljikohidrati.
The band members now are: Dino Šaran (vocals) and Đani Pervan (drums and precusions) as the main duo, Dejan Ostojić (bass), Dino Vatrenjak (guitars) and Slobodan Ćosić (keyboards).
Zagrljaj
Letu Štuke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pratim vjetar gust.
Skupio sam mirise izvana,
a iznutra - pust.
Skupljam tuđe poglede u jedan,
to je pogled tvoj.
Samo pred njim vrijedan sam i bijedan
O draga, još malo
i putu tom je kraj.
O mila, ti čekaš,
zagrljaj.
In the song "Zagrljaj" by Letu Štuke, the singer has been walking for a year, following the gusts of wind. He has collected scents from outside, but inside he feels empty. He collects the gazes of others into one, and that gaze belongs to the person he treasures the most, but he feels worthless in front of it. The singer knows that this journey will come to an end soon, and he will finally get the embrace he has been waiting for.
The song reflects a sense of loneliness and longing for human connection. The singer has been walking alone for a year, searching for himself and trying to fill the emptiness inside him. He finds solace in the gaze of his loved one but feels inadequate and small in front of it. The wait for the "zagrljaj" or embrace symbolizes the hope for finding happiness and fulfillment in the arms of someone who loves and accepts him for who he is.
Overall, the lyrics of "Zagrljaj" invite the listener to reflect on the importance of genuine human connection and remind us that, no matter how far we may wander, we will always long for the comfort and warmth of an embrace.
