35 years have passed since the release of the album "Samo par godina za nas" by the group Ekatarina Velika (EKV).
The video for the title song "Par godina za nas", which was voted the "Best domestic song of all time" by the listeners of Radio B92 in 2006, is now available on "Ekaterina Velika Official" YouTube channel in full glory - with remastered sound and technically refined image, he states headliner.rs, and transmits N1.
EKV frontman Milan Mladenović (1958-1994) in an interview revealed that the lyrics for the song were written in just an hour in the studio, and that it sings "about the current lostness of people living in Yugoslavia, and how many people don't see any future . So, to live from today until tomorrow".
"To me, the entire album 'Samo par godin za nas' was very inspiring. It breathed a strange combination of energy and melancholy, it was bursting with music, but also heralded some ominous tones. It sounded 'Like no and like yes, Like a ban and like a permission The 1990s were getting dangerously close," said Vlada Aleksić, director of the video, on the occasion of its new premiere and added:
"Magi invited me to talk, and she, Milan and I talked about the video. I mentioned Wenders' film 'Sky over Berlin'. Milan liked that association, and somehow we came up with the idea of the video being a black-and-white walk in a very narrow area Belgrade. My first idea was that the recordings from the very narrow space of Belgrade's asphalt should only be in slow motion and in black and white technique. The second part of the concept was the world that took place long before or simultaneously with the creation of the song in reality and fiction. A combination of different levels of reality. For me, that was music and the existence of EKV, that was the album 'Samo par godina za nas' and that was and still is the song 'Par godina za nas'.
Some shots of the video have been the subject of various theories for years, including those in which Humphrey Bogart appears, according to headliner.rs.
"About why Humphrey Bogart and why the sentence 'Remember, mine is bigger than yours', I don't want. I would like that still, after so many years, that director's outburst is open to interpretations", the director of the video remained mysterious, but that's why revealed the secret of the only color shot in this black and white story:
"The only color frame in the video is a close-up of Margita. It is a 'homage' to the story of the aestheticization and essence of Catherine the Great".
All of the band's videos that have been restored so far are united on the YouTube channel "Ekatarina Velika Official" and all eight remastered albums are available on digital music services.
