Pleasant Row
Intro 1
Waiting in the line like it’s a pleasant row
What can we do?
This is not the motherland’s intention
Tell me if there’s something that I don’t know
Seeing it through
I’ve been waiting in this line forever
Just what you came for is under the counter
Take it for your children

Verse 1
All for one and one for all
For the love of the motherland
And believing in the cause

Nie muszisz czekac
Na glosowanie
(I don't have to wait to vote)

If there is none, we’ll suffer together
You gotta sit down to understand
Oh how we are so clever

Pre-Chorus
Przemysłowa woda kolońska (Industrial cologne)
Popularna tea (Popular tea)

Chorus in Polish
Wiejska gleba (The rural soil)
Rząd to bierze (The government takes it)
Czekamy w piekle na zawsze (We wait in hell forever)
Najlepiej utknąć z miłym kolegą (It’s best when stuck with a kind friend)
Spędzanie czasu w przyjemnym rząd (Spending time in a pleasant row)

Intro 2
Consuming propaganda like we do not know
None of it’s true
The Marx is off the mark of the intention

Verse 2
A glorious economy, Planned and controlled
for good of the common man
There for all the world to see

Co? Mój głos nigdy
nie ma wartości!
(What? My vote/voice never has worth

Growing pains are natural as acne
patriotic patience and
Then Justice for everybody

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Bridge
We sold out, but forgot to tell you

Zostań w linii i zamknij usta
(Stay and line and shut your mouth)

Await your goods in purgatory

Jak hiper wyższe ceny idą
(As hyper higher the prices go)

Chorus

Going full prog for this one. Sweet. I am a sucker for a bit of jazz flute, and when the song kicks in proper it's full of punky energy. It feels like it's pulling in so many different directions with the multiple vocalists and musical interludes, but I feel that adds to the energy and chaos of the song. I think the impact would be greater if the song was in and out in 2 minutes, but when the flute comes back in the final minute I'm obviously pleased about that. So, overstays it's welcome slightly but enoyable nonetheless.

Crowl Shy: Those few notes when you sing the "took shelter" bit seem like a signature melodic refrain for you, it feels familiar somehow. The pre-chorus bit with "as the sun pushed back the rain" is nice. Cool percussion and arrangement in general. It's a sweet little song and has strong imagery and atmosphere which all add to the overall impact.

Ever Keneivel: I thought you were harshly treated by the judges last round, but also going for a downtempo waltz is a brave move this time. Your execution is spot on, nothing is out of place and the arrangement is all very tasteful, also the ghostly guest vocals add a great atmosphere to track. I just worry that the pace of it might put some people off.

Interesting rhythm/melody combo on the intro. I have a lot of notes about the vocal not working for me, but those seem to be on the shitty work speakers. The doubling (octave?) is a nice touch. But, yeah, not working for me real well overall.
