I will never forgive Fantasia for what they did to cultural perception of Rite Of Spring but in a similar vein whoever decided that space whales should be set to Pines Of Rome was a genius and I will forever love them.

Actually the reason why I enjoy researching composers is to feel better about myself. I can read a sentence like "it took Walton a year to write the first two movements of his symphony 1" and I'm like yeah babes me too and that's when I realise that I'm not a failure, but the reincarnation of William Walton himself✨

,,Trzy Pióra’’ Wszyscy Byliśmy Harcerzami: recenzja
Ja wiedziałam o WBH przez kilka lat, słuchałam ich wersję "Krajkę" u wielu raz, ale z powodem że muzyka rockowa nie jest całkiem dla mnie, do dzisiaj nigdy nie siadałam żeby słuchać jeden z ich albumów w całości.
Moje pierwsze wrażenie było, że WBH dają fajny nowy styl naszych starych piosenek ludowych, z kierując podniecenie te piosenki do muzyka rockowa.
Jeden z najlepszych przykładów tego jest "Krajka". Używoszcz instrumenty elektryczne znaczy że utwór zachowuje ta surowa energia, że harcerzy tak dobrze znają, ale w tym samym czasie, są dużo małych szczegół, że nam przypomnie o muzykę ludową, np. wprowadzenie, że nam pokaże nuty w akordy w półakustyczny sposób.
Inne rzecz, że nam daję ten album, jest większy sens rytmu, niż bym dostałeś jak tylko śpiewałeś te piosenki przy ognisku. Kiedy ja śpiewam Sosenka przy ognisku, zawsze jest jakieś niejasność melodie i rytmu, ale kiedy słucham na albumie, jest bardziej określone, i to jest dlatego że gracze utworów z muzyków profesjonalne to znaczy dać więcej sens profesjonalizmu.
Czy ta rockowa energia się pasuje do wszystkich pieśni harcerskie? Nie. "Płonie Ognisko" jest jeden z słabych utworów na albumie, ponieważ ciężki ton, który nam da, nie pasuję do atrakcjny i spokojny ton, w którym znamy i kochamy. Ten utwór, niestety, nam daję sens, że kapel nie mają inne pomysły oprócz ich hardrockowy ton w "Krajkę" (chociaż był ton, który działał naprawdę dobrze).
"Bieszczadzki Trakt" unika w ten sposób. Jest jeden z najlepszych utworów na albumie, całkiem dlatego że wpływa to na poczucie odpowiedzialności bajkę że ta piosenka nam powinna dać! Używoszcz tembru też utrzyma, ponieważ refren ma więcej gitary, ale wersy mają bardziej softrockowy ton--powiew świeżego powietrza od ostatnego utwora.
W sumie, dam ten album 3.5/5. Ten ton nie zawsze pasuje do piosenki harcerskie, i wolę śpiewać przy ognisku niż z kapelem rockowym, ale to proste, że ten album nie jest zastępowym ognisku. Ten album jest całym produktem nostalgii i miłość, i się idealnie pasuje jako hołd.

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.
And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.
The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.
The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!
