T.Love started … Read Full Bio ↴(Not to be confused with T-Love the Hip-Hop artist).
T.Love started as a punk rock band “Teenage Love Alternative” in Częstochowa (Poland) in 1982. The lineup at that time consisted of Zygmunt “Muniek” Staszczyk (vocalist), Janusz Konorowski (guitarist), Dariusz Zając (keyboardist) and Jacek Wudecki (drummer). They quickly gained popularity, partly due to their infamous habit of giving shows under influence, and were chosen to perform during Jarocin Festival in 1984. The band changed their name to T.Love in 1987, and went on a 2-year hiatus in 1989. Staszczyk reactivated the band in 1991 with a new lineup and more pop rock sound. Today, T.Love are: Jacek Perkowski, Maciej Majchrzak (guitarists), Sidney Polak (drummer), Paweł Nazimek (bass player) and Michał Marecki (keyboardist). The band has achieved commercial success, bringing many of their songs to the first places of musical charts.

T.Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mówiłaś tak do mnie przez sen
Koszmarnie zaspane twe oczy
Manhattan Manhattan już wiem
Ten statek przypłynął tu z bólem jak my
Samotnie wśród milionów głów
Te szklane szkielety są czyste od krwi
Tak wielu już chciało go zdobyć
I posiąść jak bestię w złą noc
Tak wielu tez chciało wydobyć
Szalone kolory i złość
Tak wielu już chciało go kupić i znów wyrzucić wydalić i zjeść
W rozpaczy zapłakać nad rzeką wśród serc zrzuconych z tych koszmarnych wierzb
Bo New York is New York is New York
Jak piekło jak czyściec jak raj
Koszmarne zaspane twe oczy
Odległej koszmarnie Twój kraj
Tu musi się przecież odmienić Twój los
Włóczędzy w wierze swej tkwią
Tu musi się przecież wydarzyć dziś coś
Pieniądze są zmieszane z krwią
Ten statek przypłynął tu z bólem jak my
Samotni wśród milionów głów
Te szklane szkielety są czyste od krwi
Wdeptanej w ten indiański bruk
Wdeptanej w ten indiański bruk
T.Love's song, New York, is a delightful tune that begs for interpretation as it leaves the listener with a load of questions. The song opens with an intriguing line, "Did you ever see a woman coming out of New York City with a frog in her hand?" This line is quite puzzling, and the mind of the listener begins to wander as they try to make sense of this image. It is hard to imagine a woman walking out of the busy city with a frog in her hand. The next line repeats the first, leaving the listener even more confused. Is it a metaphor? Or is it just an eccentric feature of the city?
As the song goes on, we see that it features a call-and-response technique that sees the lead singer ask questions, and the background singers answer with a few lines. Eventually, the lead singer confirms that he saw a woman walking out of New York City with a frog in her hand, and everybody knows it. He says, "I did, don't you know, and don't it show?" This response highlights that the sighting of the woman with the frog was an unusual occurrence, and people took notice.
In conclusion, the "frog lady" of New York City is genuinely a mysterious concept to many listeners, and this is why the song has become so popular over time. The lyrics leave a lot to the imagination and can mean different things for different people. Still, regardless of what they mean, they speak to the eccentricity and individuality of the big apple.

Did you ever see a woman
Have you ever witnessed a lady
Coming out of New York City
Exiting the bustling metropolis of New York
With a frog in her hand
Holding a live amphibian tightly in her grasp
I did don't you know (x3)
I have, did you not realize?
And don't it show
Evidence suggests that it is true

"Dziś muzycy, malarze startują w wyścigach. Jak harty biegają na czas. Zastawiają swe tyły, żeby lepiej się sprzedać - plastikowym dupkiem się stać" Genialny tekst z utworu Kumplowi. Dobrze, że Muniek i chłopacy nie poszli w tą stronę :) A jeśli chodzi o piosenkę wyżej, naprawdę bardzo klimatyczna, jedna z moich ulubionych zawarta w Old is Gold :)
