The new album contains fifteen original songs, in which Jarek Nohavica reaffirmed what has been known about him for years: he is a great poet with original poetics, who can even reach out to listeners as a preacher and creates small musical gems with his unmistakable melody. All this accompanied by “only” acoustic guitars and accordions.
It is difficult to say whether to call this album “balance”, although the truth is that Jarek Nohavica returns to his folk beginnings in it. Already the title song Mama gave me the key to my neck is very emotional in terms of lyrics. We feel nostalgia in her, but also nobility, with which she can cope with the departure of her mother, as well as with the death of her friend Emil P (Song of Emil P).
