Pleasant Row (Shadow)
by Virgo Power

nobody stands out on pleasant row
nobody will shout on pleasant row
nobody goes out on pleasant row
nobody stands out on pleasant row

never cared enough about anything
to burn down your life and risk everything
never knew enough about someone
to love them so much despite everything

nobody stands out on pleasant row
nobody will shout on pleasant row
nobody goes out on pleasant row
nobody stands out on pleasant row

there’s more than this
there’s more than this
there’s more than this
there’s more than this

guest interlude:
*Deszcze niespokojne
potargały sad,
a my na tej wojnie
ładnych parę lat.
Do domu wrócimy,
w piecu napalimy,
nakarmimy psa.
Przed nocą zdążymy,
tylko zwyciężymy,
a to ważna gra!*

never cared enough about anything
to burn down your life and risk everything
never knew enough about someone
to love them so much despite everything

nobody stands out on pleasant row
nobody will shout on pleasant row
nobody goes out on pleasant row
nobody stands out on pleasant row

there’s more than this

Liner Notes:
My guest was my housekeeper Renata. I told her to pick a "sad song having to do with home" (because I misremembered the challenge title as "Pleasant Home") so she chose this song from a movie of the same name "Czterej pancerni i pies" (4 men and a dog). Turns out it's a war movie! Totally relevant (not)! Haha! It's not even in the same key as my song but it's like adjacent.

Translation of Polish lyrics:
"Restless rains
a ruffled orchard,
and we are in this war
a nice couple of years.
We will come back home
we will fire up the furnace,
we will feed the dog.
Before the night we will make it
we will only win
and this is an important game!"
