The band's debut album, The Beginning, which consisted entirely of instrumental music, was released in 1990 with average success. By 1993, the band released the follow-up, The New Shape, with the line-up expanded to include Sławomir Romanowski and Robert Amirian. The album featured vocals by Robert Janson and Robert Amirian, along with guest vocalists including Edyta Bartosiewicz.
The band's breakthrough was the 1994 album Emu, which marked a significant change in musical direction, i.e. the band now had a lead singer, Anita Lipnicka, and started performing primarily in Polish. This formula was highly successful, and both Emu and the following 1995 album, Elf, sold more than half a million copies each. In 1995, the band won a Polish music award, the Fryderyk, for best Polish music group. Furthermore, the band provided a number of songs (mostly from Elf) for the soundtrack of the movie Młode wilki.
In 1996, Varius Manx appeared on the television show "Szansa na sukces", a kind of karaoke show in which the participants sing the songs of the visiting band. The winner of the show was the 19-year-old Kasia Stankiewicz. When, shortly afterwards, Amirian and Lipnicka both left the band, the remaining members asked Stankiewicz to join the band as new lead singer. This new line-up recorded Ego, which featured the band's biggest hit to date, the song "Orła cień".
In 1997, the band released its 6th album, End, which was a commercial hit, though it sold far less that the band's preceding albums.
In 2000, Varius Manx released their first compilation album Najlepsze z dobrych, which included four new songs along with remastered versions of the band's greatest hits. Shortly afterwards, Kasia Stankiewicz left the band and was replaced by Monika Kuszyńska. With her as lead singer, the band recorded the albums Eta (2001), Eno (2002) and Emi (2004).
In 2006, during the band's summer tour, the band members were involved in a car accident, which left lead singer Monika Kuszyńska paralyzed from the waist down. The band suspended its activities until 2010, then with a new lead singer, Lari Lu, with whom the band recorded the album Eli (2011).
The band's current lead singer, since 2013, is Edi Ann.
Moje Eldorado
Varius Manx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wszędzie słychać głośny śmiech
Wokół słodki zapach fiesty
Barwny tłum porywa mnie
Tak czekałam na ten moment
Odliczałam każdy dzień
Żeby być w tą jedną chwilę
Ref.:
Aaa, moje Eldorado
Wyśnione marzenie,
Które dzisiaj spełnia się
Aaa, moje Eldorado
Niech się nie kończy
Najpiękniejszy w życiu sen
Czuję jak pulsuje ziemia
Obezwładnia mnie ten rytm
Niech nie kończy się ta chwila
Choćby już zabrakło sił
Ref. (3x)
The lyrics to Varius Manx's song Moje Eldorado depict a scene of celebration and joy on the streets. The people are dancing and laughing out loud, and there's a sweet scent of a fiesta in the air. The colorful crowd lures the singer, and she feels like she's been waiting for this moment all her life. She's been counting every day just to be able to bask in the golden beaches of this paradise.
The chorus talks about how this place is the singer's Eldorado, a dream come true. She doesn't want it to end because it's the most beautiful dream she's ever experienced. She can feel the earth pulsating with the rhythm of the music, and it overwhelms her. She wants the moment to last forever, even if she's already exhausted.
The song's mood is very upbeat and joyous, and it talks about living in the moment and cherishing every experience. The lyrics remind us that sometimes, the best things in life come to us unexpectedly, and we should savor them while they last.
