As … Read Full Bio ↴Orthodox Celts is an irish folk rock band from Belgrade, Serbia.
As a popular band playing Irish music, Orthodox Celts are practically unique not only in Serbia but in the whole of Southeastern Europe and further afield. Despite their unusual music, since their founding in 1993 they have been one of the most popular bands in Serbia. Their music led to a popularisation of Irish and Celtic music and other aspects of Irish and Celtic culture in Serbia, especially Guinness beer. The band members are fans of the Celtic F.C., and some of the band's fans are too.
The band started their career with traditional Irish songs and, gradually, introduced more and more of their own material (lyrics mostly by Aleksandar, music mostly by Ana). All their songs are in the English language (or as they say, in the Irish language), but the group has composed some purely instrumental songs as well. In addition, the band has released several videos.
The Orthodox Celts have had several tours and numerous concerts inside and outside of the country (including in the Sava Center, one of the largest concert halls in Serbia). It is already a tradition of theirs to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a large concert in Belgrade.
In all of the band's interviews, they state that their greatest desire is to tour Ireland!

What's Going On
Orthodox Celts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something changing inside of you
Some feelings you don't recognize
There is something so surprise
Then you don't really know what's goin' on
I imagine now you must have been surprised
Discovering the things I talk about
That etternally will change your life
Then you don't really know what's going on
You don't know what's really going on (what's going on)
You don't know what's really going on (what's going on)
Remember all the smiles you gave to me
The meaning has been changed, got to see
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Yesterday was a different thing
And maybe you will feel what's going on
You don't know what's really going on (what's going on)
You don't know what's really going on (what's going on)
The lyrics of Orthodox Celts' song "What's Going On" speak to the confusion and uncertainty that can come with personal change and growth. The opening lines address this sense of disorientation, suggesting that when we experience deep emotional shifts, it can be difficult to understand what exactly is happening. The second verse of the song continues to explore this theme, with the singer imagining that their revelations may come as a surprise to someone else who is unaware of their internal struggles.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You don't know what's really going on," which serves to emphasize the feelings of confusion and isolation that can come with undergoing significant personal transformation. Prior to this, the singer reflects on memories of a past relationship that has been altered by their newfound awareness. The song closes with the suggestion that the listener too may experience these kinds of changes, and that the future remains unknown.
Overall, "What's Going On" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of personal growth and the challenge of communicating this growth to others. It expresses the confusion and uncertainty that can come with undergoing deep changes, while also acknowledging the potential for personal growth and a future filled with new possibilities.

Orthodox Celts is one of my all time favorite bands. If I learned anything from them, it's the value of the number seven. Why seven? Because that's the maximum number of people you can have in a Celtic music band all at once.
