Rest in Peace, Djordje Balasevic - Farewell

 

I am Overwhelmed lately. Really.

Can’t believe that amongst all the other things...

Yesterday

Sadly

Great

 Serbian singer-songwriter

Đorđe Balašević

Has passed away

11.5.1953 - 19.2.2021

(Years active 1977 - 2021)

Such a Pity :(


For little me - certainly one of the greatest mainstream Rock poets, for sure -

if not the greatest that Yugoslavia and it’s later “solo” countries have had.

Why?

Well, he touched us with such a surgeon precision because his songs were So Sad and emotional.

And he touched us with his spoken jokes and his funny songs.

Both - often till the Tears! Happy or Sad ones...

That’s if you have a heart and you are emotional - human.


You can call it even, some parts of his work at least, maybe Naive Rock Art – similar to the painters of Croatian Naive Art. To that conclusion I have come me myself only few years ago…

Or you can call it whatever way you want to call it...

Boy - that Man was Special.


Been on two of his concerts, Pula & Zagreb. Long ago. After Yugoslavia ended.

My mentor, in the broad sense of meaning, of what human is capable of achieving.

I have a limited general knowledge that is for sure but…

He might not have been a Saint, maybe too, rare ones of us are but…


In the end...Naposletku...

The number of his Youtube channel subscribers will tell you how big impact he had on the scene.

Have in mind, mostly I would say, the number of people in ex Yugoslavia and the number of it’s emigrants in the World…


Now, if you haven’t, see for yourself that he even didn’t have the “like / dislike” option - on Youtube!?

He was such a piece of “special sample”! :’)


If he would have been performing on English language and have had similar impact in the World like he had in ex Yugoslavia area, that would be an astonishing number of followers and fans.

Nothing pushy to the fore, to be frank, I would say...but present.

Great art doesn’t need to be pushy.

Sadly, he is no more. But the memories and the songs will remain…


Listen at least “Provincijalka”, to me one of the greatest Rock Love ballads I’ve ever heard...


He could have been living for many years to come…but sadly no...


I will end this brief remembering with his verse about himself, from his less known prewar song from the year 1987 - “1987”

“otpev'o je i on svoje - gotovo, gotovo je…”

“he too had sung his own - it's over, it's over”


Thank You and Rest in Peace - Đorđe <3

33. Dolores in the Sky...

Dolores in the Sky...  You're standing, and you sense like two unknown hands are trying to reach you, and touch you and feel you... And pat and rub and shake you like a playful child...and... At that moment it looks like you're a bit worried and overwhelmed. Questions upon your head. ... ... And then...you finally smiled. Now, tears in your eyes. Little happy tears. Shiny beam is piercing right into...your only heart. Healing, lovely pinpointed energy. Feels also probably a bit like hugs in Morrissey's concerts. May be so? ...And much, much more. Through your eyes into you. Through your heart into your eyes. Un-buyable input. Little man's best wishes to you. And many, many good years, ahead. No worries if it tickles you. No worries if it feels like kisses are laid upon your hands, eyelids, forehead and hair... Because... If they really are, they are quite harmless and antish. Hush... Hush... You're bouncing of - cloud to cloud like a kid on...

Deleted messages - message

  This is something new to me…but I would die if I wouldn’t ask... Can you please explain to me why have you deleted my messages on your Instagram? I’m curious… Very valid messages. If you didn’t do it – then ask yourself - who did? I mean – I said… Don’t give other designers - the opportunity to ‘clothe’ you as almost naked – because that is clearly not your style! Only if you want to be wearing these by yourself on a stage - then you can be totally naked if that’s what you want. But from my viewpoint these are clearly not going along with your style and your usual fashion. Am I not right? So I obviously wonder where from these came out of the blue? Sure, you can wear only sexy panties and ‘see through’ if that is what ‘you’ really want. Then I misunderstood a situation...and I am really sorry about that... Generally speaking, additionally, for example who wouldn’t want his girlfriend wearing it – but usually not publicly and particularly not...

Anyone who consumes this important information before they see my new future single - is immature

Anyone who consumes this important information before they see my new future single - is immature Final warming! >>Do not read more if you did not see what is to be my new future single!<< This part is a joking part. To laugh at myself. And to counterbalance... Our e em emo emotions. Possibly you will need it later. Like I did (do) :)) So yeah! It will punch before the main thing. I find it convenient that way. I want to split them properly. With care… But it should be read after. You should enjoy it later. Isn't that obvious!? Upon nearly finishing my new single...(Fine polishing aside)... I said to myself... "Huh I must say this sounds to me very fishy-compromising and sweaty almost like...hm..." (I think it goes...) "With this mint I thee wed" (The Two Ronnies, "Sweet shop") Lol Bol Lol Bol :O :D Just to cheer things up one bit, you know... To laugh at myself... Otherwise my heart is r...
