1.
Dugo te već nema a nenadan te osmeh u snovima kad noćiš oglasi ponekad. Prečistu i blagu umornog da celiš samotan te čekam. Dugo te već nema.
2.
Mi smo se već sreli, ali kad to beše, u vrtlogu duše, u nigdini tavnoj, i bili smo možda jedno drugom važni, mi smo se već sreli, ali kad to beše. Ja bila sam ptica, ti dolina plodna, nedrima si svojim hranio mi dušu, i uvek si posle patio kad vidiš pticu krila plavih u kavezu zlatnom. I trajasmo tako kroz vekove mnoge, preplićući duše i hvaleći boga, a život je ovaj tek još jedan korak, ko zna u kom dobu srešćemo se opet. Srešćemo se opet.
3.
Možda ne postojiš Važno li je... Sve dok mi je dat san o tebi, tvoje je postojanje opravdano.
4.
Odala te krila, i plaveti tvoje da izbistri pute, dotakne me dar. Hodom u dubine, radosti se dam. Anđeo si, znam.
5.
Snežnost 00:33
6.
Sveća iz detinjih snova, treperav, hladan plam... rastresit dim sa krova, otac za stolom sam. Zvuci iz starog radija, napev od tuge tkan... zamiče imotski kadija u sipak zimski dan.
7.
Opet budan hodiš duž srebrnih niti mog drhtavog sneva. Korak ti je stidljiv, a predubok trag, porubljuješ reči što ih ne razumem. Što ih samo slutim.
8.
Nespokoj dišem čudom za lek. I dublje, sve dublje snena nestajem. Ne prečuj, no čuj. Svakom stazom tetura se sen.
9.
Suton 01:55
Sunce je postalo hladno. Sunce je postalo plavo... Možda zbog tvoje visine, zbog tvoje sjenke, ne znam... Nebo nestaje, ti i ja nestajemo i ptice se gube i odlaze u nepoznato... i srce postaje malo... I sve je plavo...
10.
Obnoć zvezde se stane sred tvojega modrog čela, nespokoj jutrom da mre. Miloglas srebrni majčin rosom kropi ti san. Vazda ka domu, vazda u mir. Krila belina. Vazda ka domu, vazda u mir.
11.
Dugo te već nema a nenadan te osmeh u snovima kad noćiš oglasi ponekad. Prečistu i blagu umornog da celiš samotan te čekam. Dugo te već nema.

about

When I was in Serbia earlier this year, singer-songwriter and poet's son Miloš Zubac told me he had disbanded his band PRKOS DRUMSKI (www.crvenifenix.wix.com/prkos-drumski). He said the band would produce one last album that he hoped would be a good one, maybe even a classic. With a minimum of fuss Mi smo se već sreli **** (VIGVAM) is now with us and available for download on Bandcamp.com.

This is not a long, drawn-out goodbye. The album is short and sweet and harks back to the band's beginnings, with it's original line-up gathering for the musical equivalent of a group hug. This music has been made instinctively and naturally, the band's members nudging each other along the road to beauty with knowing glances rather than the spoken word. The performances are full of affectionate warmth and creative tensions are completely absent. The people who made this album are friends and always will be.

Zubac's deeply poetic, mantra-like lyrics are glimpses into moments of beauty, spirit and the mysticism in the rites of passage of our lives. There is both doubt and belief in these songs; there are answers and questions; there is simplicity of meaning and subtle abstract.

As with all Prkos Drumski's albums, vocals are shared and on this occasion four equally wonderful performers provide the sonic variety that is an important ingredient in the band's works. Zubac's deep, rich vocals are soulful and affecting. He sounds like a wise old sage with a heart full of the knowledge that life is not forsaken. Isidora Milivojević, who left the Prkos Drumski fold some seven years ago, returns to provide four stunningly beautiful and mesmerising vocals. Particularly on the title track, which translates as 'We Have Met Before', she achieves a wonderful, ethereal, yearning beauty.

The songs are infused with simplicity and purity. Some are minimal and bare like naked confessions while others are full and cosy like a reassuring security blanket. The particularly beautiful 'Porubljene reči', which features a lovely, understated vocal provided by Zubac's wife, Dragana, has a lone plucked electric guitar accompanied by distant, resonant keyboard notes that seem to hang in the air. The song 'Dugo te već nema' appears twice in radically different versions and closes the album with a keyboard-led chill-out that has touches of unlikely but very effective slide guitar.

Zubac is a supreme catalyst and would not preside over anything less than creative. This is an album of organic, living folk music. It's roots are ancient as mountains in parts, imbued with a wistful nostalgia but the music does not live in the past and reaches towards a hopeful future. I don't believe this is the last time these people will make music together but it may be the last time they press the Record button and call it Prkos Drumski.
