1. 80's new wave group from Croatia
Croatian band Xenia was formed in 1981 in the lineup of Robert Funčić (composing, writing, guitars), Vesna Vrandečić (vocals), Marinko Radetić (bass), Joško Serdarević (drums). Debut single Moja prijateljica/Povezi me ("My Female Friend"/"Take Me for a Ride") was released in 1982, presenting their contribution to the new wave style. Both songs were included on the debut album Kad nedjelja prođe (“After Sunday Is Gone"), released in 1983, with "Povezi me"'s title changed to Vjetar u kosi ("Wind in Hair"), and the song itself rearranged to include more power chord riffing.
The single Troje/Zadnji put ("Three"/"The Last Time"), released later that year, announced the new direction of their creativity. Thus the 1984 found them releasing their second and final album Tko je to učinio? ("Who Did It?"). While keeping on their artistic approach, the music style was transformed by more progressive art pop rock poetics, with addition of jazz and basic rock 'n' roll elements.
They disbanded in 1985.

Xenia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talkin', laughin' all night
Just two strangers sitting there face to face
Feels like I've known you forever
Found an empty room with an old piano
Little out of tune
But it set the stage
Of you and me together
When I'm looking back I smile
Wondering where you are
Sometimes, a memory's all you've got
And now and then I find myself living in a snapshot
In my mind
Right where we left off
Holding on to a moment when time stopped
You leaned in and I felt the flash
It happened so fast
The whole night slipped away
Without us even knowing
Born in lights and taxi cabs that come to soon
And then it's just too late
To get back what was stolen
When I think of you I smile
Wondering where you are
Sometimes, a memory's all you've got
And now and then I find myself living in a snapshot
In my mind
Right where we left off
Holding on to a moment when time stopped
Yeah
Stayed up all night
Talkin', laughin' all night
Just two strangers sitting there face to face
Sometimes, a memory's all you've got
And now and then I find myself living in a snapshot
In my mind
Right where we left off
Holding on to a moment when time stopped
Holding on to a moment when time stopped
You and me in the snapshot
The lyrics of Xenia's song "Snapshot" describe a magical night spent with someone special. The singer meets a stranger and they spend the whole night talking and laughing. They find an old piano in an empty room and despite it being out of tune, it sets the perfect stage for them to be together. The night slips away so quickly that they don't even notice it passing.
The chorus of the song reflects on the beauty of memories and how sometimes they are all we have left of special moments. The singer thinks back on this night with a smile and finds herself "living in a snapshot" of that evening. The memory is so vivid that she feels like she is right where they left off, holding onto a moment when time stopped.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the way that memories can both haunt and sustain us. It captures the feeling of a beautiful encounter that feels too brief and too perfect to last.
