Steemit Openmic Week 97 //Oliver Dragojević// "Kad mi dođeš ti"

in #openmic6 years ago (edited)


Hey guys.. So another week has come and its time to upload my entry. I could have done a 100 and one things that would probably suit this format better, but i decided that i wanted to share something with the world. Maybe not the world, but with the people on Steem among which many are scattered all around.
Now i know its really hard for people of different nations to form a emotional connection with a song that comes from a completely different language, one that you could say is fringe and rarely used by non-native speakers.
My language is probably one of those.

But still.... A week ago one of the greatest singers in Croatian history died. To put in words how great he was would be a huge endeavor. His connection to his home town, to the people there, young, old, is something you could make a movie about.
If you would ask: "What comes up first when you say "Split"? (my home town).... On of the first things anyone would say is: "Oliver Dragojevic".
And its weird really how all this came to pass. He was so beloved that his "sendoff" was met with tens of thousands of people, all of whom thanked him for sharing his life with them.
This really hits me in the feels. Could a musician really hope for more in his life? That a major city in your country mourns your passing so much that at the same time it cant but not glorify your life.
What more is there for a musician to achieve? Is there anything greater then this?
1 man to mean so much, and "all he was" is a musician. .

The photos are taken from his sendoff in Split few days ago

Im sorry if im bothering you guys with Croatian songs and this probably is a bit different from what a regular openmic entry is like. But its on Luz to make the rules and for us to break them. :D (Sry Luz hehe)

But this man was a legend even before he passed so i wanted to share some of his music with you.
This is my small tribute to him.
The song is called: "Kad mi dođeš ti"... Loosely translated to english: "When you come to me".

I played with him a couple times as a violinist on a few of his concerts so this song is extra special to me.

Words cannot express how awesome this is!

Such a beautiful tribute, SS...
So many hugs for you...

What a wonderful tribute to a legend and mentor. Your music transcends the language very nicely, thank you.

A really good friend rode her motorcycle to Stevie Ray Vaughn's funeral with about 2000 of her closest friends. She said it was a pretty good sendoff from his home town.

Thank you for another wonderful piece of music.

this is amazing!

Can't believe I missed this.. had a crazy busy week. You're just incredible, so beautiful. ❤️

Amazing. I love your performance. Please, next time show your instrument being played somewhere in your performance. Someone is going to get mad at me for including your video this week and not theris when you are not playing an instrument which is one of the rules to entering. Thanks.

Luz. Its ok if you dont include it. I wont mind. Completely understand.

So mean some people are. Some people have no souls. Keep up the good work Marica :D

Luzcypher isn't mean he is one of the sweetest souls around. And so is Marica. ❤️ I love them both.
