Entry for FSC #125 - Matt Pardus & BRGR:
Jsem mnou
Matěj Kubec (performing as "Matt Pardus") is a Czech singer, songwriter, choreograph and influencer. Since a very young age he has put all of his talent and enthusiasm into music and dancing.
He has been playing the piano which gave him musical grounding. Although he's been active in all sorts of musical projects, he is most widely known as a dancer, choreographer and lecturer since he was 16. Regarding his musical endeavours, he was part of a r'n'b / hiphop group called Red Team, which was performing all over the Czech Republic.
After that as a solo artist, he collaborated with many artists more widely known in his home country, the Czech Republic. In the summer 2009, he wrote a song for a band Asia Dalmateens called Kill The Boys. In 2010, Matt released his first single called "Leto", which was his duet with the queen of the Czech r'n'b Victoria. The song was already recorded in 2008 but released 3 years later.
In 2011 Matt was part of the Czech & Slovak Idol where he reached semi-finals. He was opening for Kosheen in Prague too.
He is currently performing with his dancing group JustIncredible Team and on new songs, experimenting and finding his own sound.
About the song...
The song "Jsem mnou" is a collaboration of Matt and a Filipino producer BRGR who works in the US. Matt and BRGR met in London though. It is a motivational song that encourages anyone regardless of age to pursue what they like to do and enjoy doing. Matt revelas that this song sescribes what he's currently going through in his life.
Lyrics // My amateur translation
Nekdy je lehci mit hlavu sklonenou // Sometimes it's easier to bow your head
A poslouchat slova ktery zabolej // and listen to the words that hurt
To znam // I know this
Ale vzpominky, ty mi pripomenou // But my memories will remind me
tu cestu, na kterou nikdy nejsem sam // of the journey on which I am not alone
Ale kdyz bezim, letim zivotem svym, // But when I run and fly through my life
obcas zapominam, kym doopravdy se stavam // sometimes I forget who I actually become
Nekdy zapomenout nechci odkud vysel jsem a kam // Sometimes I don't want to forget where I came from and where I'm heading to
ze jsem to stale ja // that this is still me
ze navzdy budu zit se sebou // that I'll always be living with myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
Uz neveris sobe ani sile svy // You don't believe in yourself nor in your power anymore
slova nikdy a nezvladnu vitezi // the words "never" and "I can't do" are winning
To znam // I know this.
Ale na co myslis, v to veris, to se skutecnosti stava // But what you are thinking of is what you believe in and that becomes reality
nesmis se bat, vstat, chtit a davat // you should not be worried to get up, to want and to give
Ale kdyz bezim, letim zivotem svym, // But when I run and fly through my life
obcas zapominam, kym doopravdy se stavam // sometimes I forget who I actually become
Nekdy zapomenout nechci odkud vysel jsem a kam // Sometimes I don't want to forget where I came from and where I'm heading to
ze jsem to stale ja // that this is still me
ze navzdy budu zit se sebou // that I'll always be living with myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
Jsem mnou // I'm myself
