1. Smak is a progressive rock band, formed in Kragujevac, Serbia in 1971.
2. Smak is a rock band, formed in Finland in 2001.
1. Smak (Serbian Cyrillic: Смак) is a Serbian progressive rock band, with strong jazz and blues undertones.
The band's leader, guitarist Radomir Mihailović Točak is considered one of the greatest and most influential guitarists on the former Yugoslav rock scene.
Formed in 1971 by the guitarist Radomir Mihajlović Točak and drummer Dejan Stojanović Kepa, the band did not get a default lineup until 1975 by which time bassist Zoran Milanović, vocalist Boris Aranđelović and keyboard player Laza Ristovski consisted the official band membership. However, after recording their eponymous debut album, Ristovski left the band and the remaining quartet recorded their subsequent albums with various keyboard players before disbanding in 1981. After brief reunions in the period between 1986 and 1992, the band was reformed by the two founding members with younger musicians, vocalist Dejan Najdanović "Najda", the second drummer Dejan Stojanović Kepa Jr., second guitarist Milan Milosavljević Mikica and bassist Vlada Samardžić.
During the late 1990, the latter was replaced by the bassist Slobodan Marković Sale who performed with the band until 2002 when Smak disbanded once again. In 2010, the lineup Radomir Mihajlović Točak (guitar), Dejan Najdanović Najda (vocals), Slobodan Stojanović Kepa (drums), Milan Milosavljević Mikica (guitar), Dejan Stojanović Kepa Jr. (drums) and Miloš Petrović Šomi (bass) reunited and started writing new material. From summer until autumn of the same year, the band had written four new songs one of which, Delfin (The Dolphin) was premiered on the band's official YouTube channel.
On December 29, 2012, Smak reunited in the default lineup - Radomir Mihajlović (guitar), Boris Aranđelović (vocals), Zoran Milanović (bass guitar) and Slobodan Stojanović (drums) - for a concert in Kombank Arena. The concert also featured members of the current Smak lineup, Dejan Najdanović (vocals), Milan Milosavljević (guitar), Miloš Petrović (bass guitar) and Dejan Stojanović (drums), as well as Dejan Zdraevski on keyboards.
Their music has always been rhythmically and harmonically advanced.
Interesting points about their compositions include the abundant use of odd rhythms, vocal improvisations (scat singing), lengthy improvisations from all of the musicians, and uniquely-styled lyrics using mostly very short words due to the relative difficulty of using complex Serbian words in singing.
Many of the lyrics were written by bohemian-minded poets and artists who were in friendly relations with the band.
2. Smak (pronounced 'smak') is a rock group from Helsinki, Finland, who performs their songs in Finnish, but have said they might do English material in the future. The group was formed in December 2001, and their debut album Sic Transit was released December 10th, 2004. The singles off that album, Myrsky, Hallanvaara and Nousen have been played alot on Finnish radio stations. The group also put out a music DVD called "...Gloria Mundi" in October, 2005. 5th April, 2006 Smak put out a new single "Teen mitä teen", which climbed to the Finnish single chart's number one almost instantly. Smak also performs YleX's (Finnish radiostation) summer's 2006 "Kesäkumibiisin" , called Antaa palaa vaan. Their sophomore album, "Elohopeaa", was released September 29th, 2006.

Smak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sav izgubljen od nekog staračkog straha i tuge
pred ogledalom sam optužujem sebe i druge
kao bolesnik pod punom narkozom
ja tonem u neki teški mrak
kao pod nekom dubokom hipnozom
ogledalo se brzo krivi
i slutim svoj pregažen lik
i više mi se baš ne živi
ranjeni lav ispušta krik
sve jeseni ko da kucaju kišom na vrata
i stežu me nekom ledenom omčom oko vrata
bliži se kraju propala drama
zavesa pada poslednji čin
glumac će sići sa reklama
u nekoj rupi ljuštiće džin
ogledalo se brzo krivi
i slutim svoj pregažen lik
i više mi se baš ne živi
ranjeni lav ispušta krik
ni ispovest nema mesta da bude i stane
sve govori samo noć može meni da svane
hej režiseri te moje zle sreće
ja honorara se odričem svog
više mi ništa pomoći neće
ni psihijatar ni lažni bog
ogledalo se brzo krivi
i slutim svoj pregažen lik
i više mi se baš ne živi
o ranjeni lav ispušta krik
The lyrics to Smak's "Ogledalo" explore the theme of self-reflection and self-blame. The singer is lost in a state of fear and sadness, and as he looks into the mirror, he accuses both himself and others for his current state. He feels like a sick person under anesthesia or under some sort of deep hypnosis, seeing himself as weak and powerless. The mirror distorts quickly, and he recognizes the broken image of himself. He is like a wounded lion, crying out in pain.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of a fading drama, indicating that the play is coming to an end. The curtain is closing, and the actor will soon exit the stage, with nothing much to show for his time there. The singer is disillusioned with his experiences, and even the therapists and religious figures cannot help him. All he sees is a bleak night ahead, and he feels like he is beyond redemption.
In summary, "Ogledalo" portrays a deeply emotional journey of self-discovery, self-blame, and redemption through the lens of a person who is going through a difficult time.

Sav izgubljen od nekog staračkog straha i tuge
Feeling lost and tormented by the fear and sadness of old age
pred ogledalom sam optužujem sebe i druge
Standing in front of the mirror, blaming myself and others
kao bolesnik pod punom narkozom
Feeling like a patient under full anesthesia
ja tonem u neki teški mrak
Sinking into a dark abyss
kao pod nekom dubokom hipnozom
Like being under a deep hypnosis
vidim da klonem da nisam jak
Realizing my weakness, feeling helpless
ogledalo se brzo krivi
The mirror distorts quickly
i slutim svoj pregažen lik
I sense my trampled image
i više mi se baš ne živi
No longer feeling like living
ranjeni lav ispušta krik
Wounded lion roars out in pain
sve jeseni ko da kucaju kišom na vrata
All the autumns knocking like rain at the door
i stežu me nekom ledenom omčom oko vrata
And tightening me with a cold noose around the neck
bliži se kraju propala drama
The failed drama is nearing its end
zavesa pada poslednji čin
The curtain falls, it's the final act
glumac će sići sa reklama
The actor will come down from the billboards
u nekoj rupi ljuštiće džin
In some hole, cracking open a bottle of gin
ni ispovest nema mesta da bude i stane
There's no room for confession to fit and settle
sve govori samo noć može meni da svane
Only the night speaks, it can bring me dawn
hej režiseri te moje zle sreće
Hey, directors of my bad luck
ja honorara se odričem svog
I renounce my fee
više mi ništa pomoći neće
Nothing will help me anymore
ni psihijatar ni lažni bog
Neither a psychiatrist nor a false god
o ranjeni lav ispušta krik
Oh wounded lion, roars out in pain

Sav izgubljen od nekog staračkog straha i tuge,

Kao bolesnik pod punom narkozom,
Ja tonem u neki teški mrak,
Kao pod nekom dubokom hipnozom,
Vidim da klonem da nisam jak.
Ogledalo se brzo krivi,
I slutim svoj pregažen lik,
I više mi se baš ne živi,
Ranjeni lav ispušta krik.
Sve jeseni ko da kucaju kišom na vrata,
I stežu me nekom ledenom omčom oko vrata.
A bliži se kraju propala drama,
Zavesa pada poslednji čin,
Glumac će sići sa reklama,
U nekoj rupi ljuštiće džin.
Ogledalo se brzo krivi,
I slutim svoj pregažen lik,
I više mi se baš ne živi,
Ko ranjeni lav ispuštam krik.
Ni ispovest nema mesta da bude i stane,
Sve govori samo noć može meni da svane.
Hej režiseri te moje zle sreće.

I više mi se baš ne živi,
O ranjeni lav ispušta krik.

Umetnost... Mi smo svi isti, svi koji ovo slušamo i volimo, mi koji smo uz ovaj zvuk odrasli, to smo mi, zadnji veterani, svedoci neverovatnog spoja muzike teksta i muzičara....
