Maria Peszek’s album „Karabin“, published in spring 2016, is a controversial, partly very political piece about radicalization in Polish society and became a top seller very quickly. ”Samotny Tata” tells the story about a single and lonely – the Polish word “samotny” means both – father and his daughter Ala (Alexandra). Including Eryk Lubos, one of the most interesting contemporary Polish character actors, this video was in our opinion a highlight of 2016.
Maria Peszek – Single Daddy
Single Daddy searching
Single Mommy
That’s how it is, yes, that’s the world
And that’s the situation
A note at the tree
A piece of paper in the wind
Single Daddy
Cold air
The internet doesn’t hold
Maybe it’ll work this way:
I’m leaving my address
I’m leaving a sign
Despite other important stuff
singledaddytwo@michaelfullstopcom
I’m here, I’m waiting
Write, call!
I’m not looking for a chick
From a dating service
I’m looking for a mommy for Ala
Lonely like me
La, la
A note on a pillar
And a note on the tube
Lonely daddy
Cold air
The internet doesn’t hold
Maybe it’ll work this way:
I’m leaving my address
I’m leaving a sign
Despite other important stuff
singledaddytwo@michaelfullstopcom
I’m here, I’m waiting
Write, call!
I’m not looking for a chick
From a dating service
I’m looking for a mommy for Ala
Lonely like me
La, la
Come
Lay your hands
On my face
Come
Lay your lips
On my eyelids
I know
That it will rather not happen
But I’m here
Waiting
I’m not looking for a chick
From a dating service
I’m looking for a mommy for Ala
Lonely like me
La, la
