This is my reaction to Hey - Arahja (Woodstock2017)
In this video I react to another live performance from Polish rock music concert Woodstock/Poland Rock. This is Arahja from Hey
#poland #music #reaction
Original Video - • Hey - Arahja #Woodstoc...
This song is a protest against Berlins wall (song recorded in 1988, a year before the fall of the wall). Its metaphoric lyrics were to avoid censorship. The lyrics are about splitting your house, your body, your street into half. How left side of the street is dark / shut down and right one is shining with colourful neons. How left one never wakes up and right one never goes to sleep. And so on. That's why this song is important for polish people and that's why there is so much emotion behind it. Cuz it's fight for a freedom.
dziéki, I didn´t know that, I know Nosowska from the 90´s Hey, but didn´t know this one. Na prawo!
Dzięki, za wytłumaczenie. Nie znałem tego ehh.
Oryginalnie piosenka zespołu Kult. @@dareklenovo8883
I only heard this song for the first time this year when I heard my favourite singer Michał Szpak sing it I'm not polish, I had to the check out the kult version, I looked up the English translation, to be honest I still was confused what it was about but hearing your translation made it more sense to me, so thank you.
who ever I hear singing it they always have such a powerful voice, powerful impact.
She's also crying because ppl know the lyrics and sing along.
You need to know the context of that song.
Written in 1987, sang by Kult,
The song had to somehow avoid censorship.
The song is about the divided society by the Wall- not only by the Berlin Wall- but also by the iron curtain.
That song was literally the experience of the most of the nations closed behind the iron curtain.
That is why this song is so emotional for Kasia Nosowska.
(Well- not only her, but each of us watching it on TH-cam I guess)
Also it is strongly related to recent situation in Poland where the society is divided by two, happily after the recent election it all will change. Hopefully…
Also it’s one of the songs, that any rock music fan (and not only) will know the lyrics…
Here is the text of the song - both in Polish and English below:
Arahja

Podzielone murem schody

Nic się nie zmieni, cały czas zmienia się władzą jednych skorumpowanych koryciarzy na drugich...
Polacy szybko zapominają co się działo w polityce. Za kolejne 8 lat PIS wróci do władzy i cykl się zamknie... A my dalej będziemy ru**ani przez jeden obóz albo drugi...
This is by far the best explanation 👏
Full and thorough.
Thanks @krzyzaak 🤘
not divided but chopped with windmills 🤦🏼♀️
@@ewawojtczak2983 chopped by windmills??? Like what do you mean?
@@iFka1982 the recent windmills scandal in Poland (not meaningful at all, late cry of old ruling rightwing nationals party)
The song is timeless. It is about divisions in society. Divisions between left and right. It was applicable ac in socialistic Poland as it is today in the entire world.
Not true.
The song is about the division into free people and those under communism dictatorship.
Kiedy Polacy zrozumieją że silni są tylko razem? Mam przyjaciół z lewicy i prawicy i nie wyobrażam sobie życia bez nich. Mój najlepszy przyjaciel jest gejem a to naprawdę najlepszy człowiek jakiego w życiu poznałem. Bądźmy w końcu jedną rodziną bez podziałów !

Miejmy nadzieję, że teraz pisowskie szczucie Polaków na Polaków i dzielenie na lepszych i gorszych się skończy.
Cudowna Kasia Nosowska! Utwór ściska serce... tym bardziej, że tekst tak bardzo oddaję dzisiejsze realia. Polska podzielona jak nigdy wcześniej, a to bardzo boli.
Miałem szczęście być na tym koncercie. Nigdy tego nie zapomnę
She cried because of the crowd reaction and because how powerful the song is itself.
No, she cried because it was personal. She got divorced.
Yes, this song is timeless, originally about Berlin wall, but it describes emotions of polarized society and emotions of messy dissolution of marriage with equal power.
Buddy, Poland is blood in its veins, it is heart, it is power and strength. When our youth have fun, they have fun, and when they come to fight, they will fight. Long live my beloved homeland Poland ❤️❤️🇵🇱 Greetings to you, friend
So true. There was too much blood spilled on our soil- we all live with the war trauma of our great grandparents and our grandparents cos it’s passed on to our DNA (it’s called epigenetics).
The passion.
The song (cover) was played by the band "Hey". Singer Katarzyna Nosowska was very moved because they suspended their activities in 2017 (Hey had been playing since 1992) and audience reacted very enthusiastically to this cover. The song Arahja was written (1987) and performed by the band "Kult". Talks about divisions in life, society, etc. Originally about the division of Berlin (Germany / Europe) into eastern and western.
I was there...i cried too...greetings from Poland...❤
Poland rock music is soo emotional because the roots of band like HEY is in '80 - very hard political time. Not only music, vocal but also a lirycs so important. This music will be always in our hearts. And Kasia Nosowska is one of the best singer in Poland ❤🤍
That was a very old Kult's song and the lyrics describe in allegory way times when Europe was divided and Poland came under Russian occupation 1945-1989. Song is about Berlin Wall, because that symbolized this division
You should see the video Hey & Agnieszka Chylińska - Angelene (Unplugged) next so you can watch Chylińska and Nosowska perform together. Absolutely mindblowing!
Totally agree, so worth listening to...❤
Yep, yep, yep :)
Budka Suflera - Jolka Jolka Woodstock 2014
Must see! This song brings all generations together
The song is about the divisions in Europe - left and right (east and west). In Germany, where Berlin was divided into West Berlin and communist Berlin, the border between them ran across the houses and along the streets. A city divided by a wall that fell - the Iron Curtain in 1989.
My house that a wall divides
The staircase that a wall divides
Bathroom on the left side,
Stove on the right side
My body that a wall divides
Ten fingers on the left side
Another ten on the right side
Head's equal parts On each of the sides
My street that a wall divides
With neon lights shines the right
side Left side lights extinguished
From the curtain I watch both of the sides
Left! side never wakes up
Right! side never falls asleep
Left! side never wakes up
Right! side never falls asleep
Moja Polska murem podzielona ….
Polska od lat podzielona i przez polityków podział jest podsycany, bo tak im na rękę, mogą robić swoje, a Polacy kłócą się między sobą.
@@renataewa7785 robią to, ponieważ wiedzą, że zjednoczonym polakom nie daliby rady więc tak skłócają nas między sobą już od wielu lat. Modlę się do Boga, żeby ten naród się obudził.
Zwalali pomniki i rwali bruk
"Ten z nami, ten przeciw nam!"
"Kto sam ten nasz najgorszy wróg!"
A śpiewak także był sam....
I've been there five times. The atmosphere is truly like magic. The song refers to Berlin wall when Germany or even Europe was divided into two pieces. It means that we shouldn't build walls between each other but live peacefully together. Censorship was very severe a that time so the song is one big metaphor.
'Arahja' was written in late 80's by another Polish band Kult. Hey performed phenomenal cover of this song, but here is the original version th-cam.com/video/_vw2K0AgFF0/w-d-xo.html Song itself treats about division between Western and Eastern Berlin.
This song is really deep. You can search for a band: Kult.
This song is relly deep and powerfull. Iconic for Poland! Very important song for polish ppl. Actualy this song is very sad.
As far as I remember this song was written when Poland was under ussr rule. The author has been to Berlin and he saw two different sides of the iron curtain. The lyrics of the song refer to house split into two parts. One of them is full of life and the other one is just quiet and sleeping. Just like Berlin during the times of iron curtain. And you can refer this to what we are now. Divided into western and eastern Poland by voting to different parties 😅 but that's my interpretation. 😅
I really like your reactions man, they are so real. Bless you brother
I also recommend the main songs from - Męskie Granie - from the last 10 years. Because every year they create a new song.
My fav songs by Hey is "Moja i Twoja nadzieja", "Sic!" and "Muka", this singer is a sweetheart and can be easily moved by the crowd's engagement so she is indeed not faking it.
@@msciwojmscisawski9679 Może trochę kultury co??
That song is not my favorite of Hey, still high, but my favorite songs are:
"Ja sowa" (eng. "Me, owl"),
"Anioł" (eng. "Angel"),
"Misie" (eng."Teddybears"),
but in my youth, the song "Angel" was my favorite, and that wonderfully raspy voice penetrated my soul every time I listened.
@@msciwojmscisawski9679 nudzi ci się czy co? że też niektórzy to się niemal chwalą na prawo i lewo brakiem kultury, żałosne
@@yuukonen
Podkrwimy szfaba ruska jeszcze bardziej? Pamiętam powódź 97, pamiętam, jak ludzie o różnych poglądach pomagali powodzianom, pierwszy raz w życiu coś takiego byłem świadkiem, dzieckiem byłem, jednak ten utwór pamiętam puszczany w radiu co jakiś czas.
Pamiętaj Ruscy i Niemcy nienawidzą kiedy ponad podziałami Mieszkańcy Polski się jednocza i to musisz zrozumieć. Więc jak to leciało. I nie chodzi mi o zwykłych ludzi, tylko desydentow, sprzedawczykow innych krajów co nie jest niczym nadzwyczajnym.
Udanego tyg życzę i jak to leciało.

She's polish treasure, well known and appreciated singer
Kasia Nosowska and this song! Legend! ❤
Nigdy nie byłam na tym festiwalu. Trochę żałuję. Ale zawsze dochodziło do mnie jego echo. Dziękuję za Twoją reakcję. Piękny, głęboki utwór. Wiele dla mnie znaczy, w połączeniu z historią. Pięknie wykonany przez wszystkich. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 👍👍💕
Polecam raz jechać. Zupełnie inny świat, pozytywny klimat, zrozumienie, tolerancja i zabawa. Kontrast tak jak białe i czarne, jak dzień i noc. Na pewno się nie zawiedziesz, jeśli lubisz taki rodzaj muzyki i pozytywne wibracje :)

@@annawnuk3713 za stara? Jeżdżę na od 15 lat na każdy festiwal. Przez ciebie nie wiem czy pojadę na kolejny. Dobra żartuje, teraz woodstoc przyjeżdża do mnie :)
I was there. I was surprised how many people choose to see this performance, because "Hey" isn't at the peak of popularity at the moment.
At the time, many people in our country felt like politicians are trying to divide us, because if you make people argue with each other, they are too busy to keep politicians accountable.
This song hit us all hard, I was crying, everyone around me was crying too. When my mom saw this, she cried too.
Totally! ❤
Hey🔥🔥👍👍.. wychowałem się w tych czasach ♥️
I recommend checking out other songs by Hey and Kasia Nosowska. "Arahja" is not their song. It was originally performed by Kazik Staszewski, an equally important figure in Polish music of the last few decades. The song itself is about division. About the division into the Eastern and Western bloc during the "Cold War", divisions in society, in families, even within ourselves. I recommend checking out Kazik's work, as well as the band Hey and Kasia Nosowska, whose work comes from a more grunge trend and as an example of their work I would recommend some of these songs: "Moja i Twoja Nadzieja", "Teksański", "Dreams", "Mimo wszystko", "List", "Cisza, ja i czas", and "Zazdrość".
Polska muzyka jest genialna, tylko niedoceniana za granicą
odwrotnie, często jest doceniana za granicą, niestety całkowicie niedoceniana przez nas Polaków
Tylko czy my musimy ciągle oczekiwać docenienia za granicą? Nie można tworzyć we własnym kraju dla "swoich" ludzi?
takie piosenki jak, to trzeba przeżyć, poczuć, żeby zrozumieć. tego nie da się eksportować na zachód... tylko postsowieckie kraje zrozumieją...
Kasia Nosowska - absolutely beautiful voice. Strong and full of emotions.
fantastic festival. music, friendship and rock and roll✌️🇵🇱
Bro you need one day visit Poland ❤
I've been there, I've been singing and crying too! Amazing experience ❤
This song is about Poland and Poles it's so so true to our nature. Divided and united at the same time. Great you have an intrest in polish culture🖐🏻
Watch Sabaton live at woodstock in 2012, 40-1.
Love it ❤❤❤
Już to oglądał.
@@Mania26
Kiedy?
Been there that day, saw that live
There are no words to properly explain that feeling
“Arahja” is a piece about the Berlin Wall, the symbol of the division of Germany. Thanks to the lack of literalness and high metaphorical nature, Kazik managed to avoid censorship, which in 1988 was finally in its last throes. The home the author sings about here is none other than Germany, or even Europe, divided by the Cold War and in conflict with itself.
The singer wants to show us the senselessness of wars and conflicts, reminding us that we are all people and we should tear down walls between ourselves rather than build them. This was best seen in the example of Germany - former friends and even families now stood on both sides of the barricade, feeling still connected to each other, but still distant because of these arbitrary borders.
Staszewski clearly suggests that it is much better to look for a common language than to stand against each other. After all, the whole world is our big home, so why do we keep cutting ourselves off from others, trying to carve out separate places for ourselves, closing ourselves off to otherness?
WOW! I just bumped on your channel. I am amazed and so happy someone from outside of PL recognizes the beautiful, heart ripping polish rock. I have goosebumps all over! The carousel of emotions is unreal, right? I am greeting you and subscribing straight away!
It makes me cry...very touchable❤
It's been called The most beautiful festival in the world, and it stands to it's name. Amazing atmosphere, great people. Each year a band is chosen by the people to perform on the ASP which stands for Akademia Sztuk Przepięknych (Academy of Finer Arts, it's a play on Akademia Sztuk Pięknych - Academy of Fine Arts) which basically is a supporting scene on that festival. There are lectures, yoga classes and many other activities for people. It's great! It's one of the very last big events in Rock/Metal/Alternative music, nowadays everything's about rap & hiphop, but Pol'n'Rock stays strong!
Check out polish guitarist by the name of Marcin Patrzalek - arguably one of the best in world right now..
1000 thumbs up!
Pieprzyc patrzalka ,juz sie wypalil ,a najebal Tyle ozdobnikow ,ze sie nie da slychac.
The original song is by Kazik Staszewski with band Kult.
Kasia Nosowska is the vocalist of the band "Hej". It is one of the most significant bands in Poland, with a very long history. He performs a song by the distinguished band "Kult", which was created in 1982 w and continues to create wonderful things. The "Kult" band has always been a political commentator and still is. You should take a look at their work
Im sooooo happy cuz you made this video... we poles know how to be placed in the background of europe...
FANTASTIC REACTION..!! Thank You.. 🤩🤩
What a beautiful reaction of a beautiful human being.❤️
love woodstock the atmosphere is the best
I was there! It was amazing experience
You should react to Majka Jezowska "a ja wole moja mame" on this same festival. She is a songwriter and vocalist for kids, and when she performed that song live after 20 years. Crowd gone creazy.. unbelivable
Utwór wszechczasów, niezapomniany i nasza Kaśka 😊
Thank you for that.
Good job!

!!!! THE BEST
I still remember my first big concert, it was Hey and I was 15. I feel so old now lol but at the same time lucky that I was born at the time when music was still great
I'm Polish and based on the emotions with which you watch our films, I can say that you are already half Polish ☺️
Thank you for your video!!!❤
I'm going to Woodstock Festival every year since 2014, and this one performance is something that I'll never forget. Magic.
i was there, crying and singing with crowd
That was actually the first Woodstock I've ever been on - just thinking about that performance gives me shivers!
I’m 16 years old and I’ve been on Woodstock 8 times already, with my parents. And now it feels like home everytime I go back there. I cry everytime I hear this song
No phones. Just listening 😊
funny thing - the festival is free. It is a thank you from a charity organization to all the donors. No attendance fee, nothing, just get there, and have a few days of music, freedom, and acceptance of whichever way of life you've chosen
polandrock is a magic place
The Sabaton performing to a massive Woodstock crowd in 2012 was awesome. The crowd went wild when the Swedish Sabaton played Uprising (a song about the 1944 Warsaw Uprising) and 40:1 (a song about the Battle of Wisna during the 1939 Polish Campaign). I have the DVD but these can be found on TH-cam as well.

This year will be 30th Polandrock, please come :) you will see everything and sing with us :)
Thank You again, I really enjoy watching Your reactions. Please check UNREAL guitarist Marcin Patrzalek - Carmen Habanera, for example. Cant wait next reaction. Czesc
I was at this concert, I screamed all the lyrics and cried like a beaver. this is a song about the fall of communism in our region. I am old enough to remember the times of geopolitical transformation in Poland and the entire region. those were crazy times, beautiful and tragic at the same time (the original performed by "KULT" with Kazik on vocals is even better th-cam.com/video/1_ViPYAS9GU/w-d-xo.html)
i have been there !!! so cool concerts
W Polsce mamy wiele piosenek o wielkim znaczeniu dla każdego pokolenia np. " Nie pytaj o Polske " G Ciechowskiego , "Wieża radości , wieża samotności" zespołu Sztywny Pal Azji i jeszcze wiele innych. Pozdrawiam
off topic but I think you should see the polish film "Chłopi"
In the PRL times rock, especialy punk rock music was not only music but a form of protest.
Takie występy i takie wykonania są wartością samą w sobie i pokazuje jak jesteśmy zjednoczeni emocjami, wartościami i historią 🫶
This song always gives me a goosebumps. I love Kasia Nosowska and Hey.
Been to Woodstock AND Pol'and'Rock festival, I've been going there since 2012. Its great, people are nice, concerts are great and its all free so maybe you wanna join us? :)
Since 2012 too ❤🎉
That was my first time I went to Przystanek Woodsock. I love it so much! I enjoyed hearing it and them being on gig with Kult who originaly performed it I think two years later, which I think was biggest Woodstock gig ever made. I am happy to meet Kazik Staszewski (leader of Kult) in person so as his family, great people and definetely he is great artist. Love them so much!
The next song should be "Jolka, Jolka" by Budka Suflera on Woodstock2014
I listened to Hey and Kasia Nosowska and their songs when I was in my primary school. Polish music in the 1990s was quite good. It's to recollect that times.
This is amazing!!!!!!!
the berlin wall... that's what this song is about
Miss my country so much 😢
KRZYSZTOF CUGOWSKI & PRZYJACIELE "Jest taki samotny dom"
The unique story about that concert is just before this song, gates to concert area was closed and ppl pushing on fence and when Kasia started, we opened that gates by force and all that crowd aload a place. I was there in the first lin at gates.
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱❤️
I can see other Poles gave you the historic background. This particular performance was so emotional because Katarzyna Nosowska could feel that we are again in the same place - people were at that time divided, far away from each other and fighting. The political situation in Poland was hopeless.
It was my first woodstock - i was there i cried with her.
it is so emotional....wow
I ve been a few times. Mad. Ppl are awesome. It's the best place ever.
This song elicited such emotions because its lyrics are still relevant to the current political situation in Poland, where the government has divided and polarized society into pro-government and opposition factions (as indicated by the divided map of Poland - there is clear support for the government in the eastern part and for the opposition in the western part). This atmosphere of polarization and, consequently, tension is so pronounced that it's sometimes difficult for neighbors or even family members with different political views to get along. However, after the elections on October 15th, the opposition won, and I hope that the new government will try to bridge these divisions to prevent a Polish-Polish conflict.
I was at this concert, and I still get goosebumps all over my body when I see and hear videos of this event.
First of all, I was surprised that the band Hey played the song "Arahja" by Kult.
Secondly, the song is full of emotions. It was written with the division of Europe by the Berlin Wall in mind, but it is still relevant and can be perceived differently. A person may be divided in his apartment and have to repay the loan to the bank for many years. You can be divided by internal worries...
A song can reach the heart.
KULT ❤ Arahja
You should definately make a reaction video to "SABATON - Uprising (OFFICIAL LIVE)" That was on Woodstock 2013 (I guess).
Woodstock 2012
Brother You should to know her personality... she is amazing human
@mertpol you should check the lyrics
I think you can also see a very energetic performance in Łzy - Agnieszka also from Woodstock :)
The lyrics in translation sound simple, they're about everything (around you and in you) being divided into halves that oppose each other. But the meaning has so many layers, and that's why this song is so moving and still relevant. It can be about the Berlin wall, but it can also be about political divisions, that we observe in most countries now, that run deep and seemingly there are no ways of finding common ground. It might be about inner conflicts that most people experience at some point in their lives. And all that is seasoned with some very eastern European soul-ache that's painful and beautiful at the same time. There's just a lot to this song.
I was lucky to be at this festival (while still called Przystanek Woodstock) as a photojournalist. And man - when I first found myself on stage - taking photos of the crowd in front of me (around 300,000 people at the time) it was so incredibly hypnotizing and paralyzing - that I didn't take any photos. Only subsequent entrances to the stage were photographically "successful". And I heard the same thing from the musicians performing there - that it was an incredibly powerful event for them and the best part of their career
You are an empathetic human being ❤️
3 times at Woodstock . One of these natural messengers
I,m love this song..😢❤💪🔥
