FIRST EVER SLOVAK OPEN MIC ENTRY?
I dare to say that this is the first ever Slovak song entered into Steemit Open Mic and I'm pretty sure I'm right :) Correct me if I'm not though!
As I described in my video, originally, I'm from Slovakia but I don't really write in Slovak because the international audience I play for in the Netherlands and wherever else I play won't understand it. And I know how it feels for me when I listen to music in a language which I don't understand - one song is fine and then they lose me :)
WHERE THE HELL IS SLOVAKIA?
Now, I know that I have already mentioned my hometown when I entered OM with "City At Night" but usually this is how the conversation goes:
Foreigner: Where are you from?
Me: Slovakia
Foreigner: "Ah Slovenia... Yugoslavia, right"
Me: Noooooo.... Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore... We're a part of former Cechoslovakia!
Foreigner: Ahh... that's like Russia, right?
Me: Sigh...
Ok ok, not everyone is so bad but it happens often :) And sometimes people even know my town, Košice!
WHAT’S THE SONG ABOUT?
I wrote it after I came home from a Dutch class (weirdly) and it talks about the voice of my native language that I never really used to write songs... and I wonder why it’s coming out now and where from...
Anyway, enough of talking, go listen to the song and here's the translation :)
Thanks for listening!
Petra
