ČESKOSLOVENSKO 1973: [03]

Helena Vondráčková: Lásko má, já stůňu

hudba: Karel Svoboda | text: Jiří Štaidl

hlas lidu: Co říct víc, než že jen ji většina populace stále z plných plic a procítěním řve pokaždé, když zazní v rádiu — a že je myslím stále dost emotivní a epická pro Eurovizi.

Narodila se před pětadvaceti lety, i přes své mládí je ale již téměř deset let stálicí československé hudební scény. Původně přitom chtěla studovat filologii – v roce 1964 ji pak otec přihlásil do soutěže Hledáme mladé talenty a o budoucím osudu Heleny Vondráčkové bylo rozhodnuto. V posledních letech úspěšně působí i jako příležitostná herečka, v loňském roce se například objevila v televizním filmu Příliš krásná dívka.

Pod předělem najdete text písně a klip.

Text:

Já, ač mám spánek bezesný Mně včera sen se zdál I když dávno nejsem s ním Mně navštívil sám král

Řekl: lásko má, já stůňu Svojí pýchu, já jen hrál Kvůli vám se vzdávám trůnu Klenotů i katedrál

Ač den mám jindy poklidný Dnes nevím, kudy kam Trápí mě sen ošidný A trápí mě král sám

Řekl: lásko má, já stůňu Svojí pýchu, já jen hrál Kvůli vám se vzdávám trůnu Klenotů i katedrál

Řekl: lásko má, já stůňu Svojí pýchu, já jen hrál Kvůli vám se vzdávám trůnu Klenotů i katedrál

Řekl: lásko má, já stůňu Svojí pýchu, já jen hrál Kvůli vám se vzdávám trůnu Klenotů i katedrál

Dnes zaregistrováno: Oba králové v Šíleně smutné princezně nedodržují svá rodová hesla. Král Dobromysl (Vždy s úsměvem.) je jasný, jinak by to nebyla Šíleně smutná princezna, ale i král Jindřich (Vždy s pravdou ven.) lže jako když tiskne. A oba na ně přitom kladou velký důraz

but imagine Aziraphale and Crowley performing this

Right. So. Hear me out, yeah?

Já pujdu tam a ty tam (Helena Vondráčková, Jiří Korn)

Is so ineffable breakup coded.

That's it. That's all I wanted to say.

I hate Czech songs but this one is just THEM at the end of GO2 and more people should know about it.

Eastern Bloc Songs

First published in The Wire 418, December 2018. The curator, Wayne Burrows, responded on Twitter shortly after this was published that the exhibition catalogue included much of the contextual information missing in the show. Having perused the accompanying book, which is mostly reproductions of song lyrics, I can say that's absolutely not the case.

Eastern Bloc Songs

Centrala Space, Birmingham, UK

This archival show, curated by Nottingham-based writer Wayne Burrows, of audiovisual recordings, records and magazine facsimiles from the Eastern Bloc pop industry feels at once panoramic and curiously narrow. Burrows, who collected the material over a number of years, covers a huge time span, 1963 to 1988, but only three countries, with most of the material coming from the former Czechoslovakia around 1968. With very little contextual information and haphazard labelling, it forms a vast and sometimes bewildering info-dump, that would tell a very different narrative from that of the Anglophone canon of post-war Eastern European culture, if you could ever extract it from the accumulation of period detail.

A set of rather schematic assumptions still governs the reception of Eastern Bloc music. Dissident and samizdat culture is always somehow aesthetically higher than the products of state-supervised record labels like Czechoslovakia's Supraphon and Poland's Pronit, its creativity spurred by the official limits placed on what Cold Warriors used euphemistically to call “civil society”. The picture that emerges faced with at least some of that product is altogether stranger. A wall of photos of Polish and Czechoslovak stars – Marta Kubišová, Helena Vondráčková, Václav Neckář, Czeław Nieman – shows them in outfits that wouldn't be out of place in a 1964 Top Of The Pops episode. Three vitrines of sleeves show the evolution of records across the period: the early 60s models have the clean but stuffy contemporary design of EMI and Polydor. One of four screens shows Kubišová's 1969 film Proudy odnesou lasku, directed by Jan Nĕmec, whose 1966 satire A Report On The Party And Its Guests was banned in Czechoslovakia. Kubišová, who resembles Rita Tushingham if she'd taken a career in chanson, rides in a jeep through a bomb-site, surrounded by children in army jackets and later slithers around sets decorated with the kind of occult imagery later to turn up in Jaromil Jireš's Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders (1970). On another screen, her contemporaries Hana and Petr Ulrychovi mount a controlled and ever-escalating prog assault with choirs and horn sections between guitar spray; Neckár and Golden Kids stretch The Electric Prunes' garage psych until it almost snaps. With the exception of a brief appearance from Plastic People Of The Universe, hardly anyone here is known in the West, underground or mainstream.

If the structure of feeling of the various artistic New Waves of Eastern Europe – Andrzej Wajda, Miloš Forman, Miklós Jancsó and Věra Chytilová would be the golden names – formed a labyrinth of rage, irony, naivete, plain speaking and soiled glamour, it's no surprise that the pop of that period is racked by the same rich contradictions. But it's hard to tell where all of this fits. Is it just a corrective to the historical emphasis on Communist states' high-minded sponsorship of culture, as in Poland's PRES? Or to the coffee-table fetishisation of underground bands, when 'underground' required a very literal distance from official culture and its attendant police spies? How did the publics of the Eastern Bloc, caught between a socialist culture industry and a dissidence they may have no lived connection to, really feel about this music? The sometimes astounding sounds and visuals here give no answers, only the languid stares of semi-hippie cover girls, looking off to an unguessed future.

American song about leaving your country because of communists:

How can I desert you? How to tell you why? Coachmen, hold the horses, stay, I pray you, let me have a moment, let me say goodbye

....

How to turn away? How to close the door? How to go where I have never gone before?

Czech song about leaving your country because of communists (real experience with communists):

Pack your bag and wait no more, go away, leave everything, you know the way, go and if you want to ask, for whom are the funeral bells ringing, it's you so SAVE WHAT YOU'VE GOT!

HURRY! HURRY you exiled from land where you used to live! HURRY FOR THOUSAND MILES!
