Legacy

 The songs of this blog serve as a tangible document that the shores of Bela Crkva were also splashed by the waves of late sixties. The wave washed back long time ago, yet it is still possible to recognize the message engraved in the sand. However, instead of expressions like, MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, etc., what remains legible are the words saying that this world could be saved only by REASON & TOLERANCE.

What about LOVE?

Some of those who actuated this story think it's better to save the word for your wife or hubby, children or some friends;

 or, for a rainy day;
or, for a glass of wine;
or, for a cup of hibiscus tea with a croissant.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter whatever. This too shall pass.

A Doubt

I’m with you but I know,
 Where the frontiers of misery are,
Where vacant eyes and cycle reside,
Where people live their filthy lives.

***
 Streets got deserted,
Among the dreams are chasing,
Minds and reflections of passion,
The curses of this world and lies.

***
Wounds are adored,
Shattered bones don’t count,
Lunatics grow in number,
We tear apart the world.

***

Could it be too early,
To celebrate doubt so eagerly,
To tatter skin and hurt,
To stab nails into soft tissue,
The tissue oozing red beads?

***
Rotten parts of my body, I’m taking apart.
I’m throwing them up - what a cosmic gale!
The insane get ecstatic,
Bloody teeth are clutching,
Clutching necks,
The necks of those brave;
Crackling sound fills the air.

***
 In spite of it all,
Of all what could happen,
Let me stay,
Let me stay being,
Being one,
The one who doubts,
Doubts it all.

Vestica / The Witch

The Witch The Beginning It is possible to trace back the birth of Poslednji stepnik (The Last Step) into mid seventies of the 20 th century. The event took place at a scout camp in Croatia, on the top of the hill called “The Old Man.” The hill is situated close to the settlement of Kostajnica overlooking its Bosnian counterpart on the other side of the Una river. At the time, both belonged to the beautiful country of Yugoslavia. There, sitting around a bonfire and accompanied with a guitar, the two youngsters, Bikadi Zoltan (from here on: Mr. Bicady) and Radulovic Dragan (further on: D.R.Phantom) came to the point that they share the affection about music, in fact, rock and roll music. Having got back home, they animated some of their friends about a fresh born idea. The idea was warmly welcomed. A friend of theirs, Mr. Vranes Branislav, popped up with the expression "Poslednji stepenik" (The Last Step) as a brand new name for a brand new music band of Bela Crkv...

Dan / The Day

The Day At the Cross Well ... Mr. Grncarsky had a girlfriend and the girlfriend was from Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Moreover, Mr. Grncarsky is a well bred and responsible person. Thus, he realized the time has come to pay back what he owns to his country. So, in 1980, he was another one who joined Yugoslav People's Army. Having completed the service, he left Bela Crkva for Belgrade to stay close to Ljilja (his girlfriend)  and complete his college . Eventually, Ljilja became his wife and mother of their three children . Those days (today is not much better), only freaks could  hope to meet their ends by playing R'N'R. Yet, Mr. Grncarsky wasn't a freak whatsoever. So, the band lost bass guitar player. After being in love with one nice girl since the time immemorial, Mr. Ristic suddenly declared the change of the romantic course of his life. It had something to do with the world of matrimonial business. Namely, he married the girl nobody had ever heard of (du...

Zaboravi / Forget It All - Live recording

Forget It All Mr. Zlatar This is the right place to mention one name that played so important role in the course of "The Last Step." This post is about person who is not a musician. His name is Mr. Zlatar Milan. His manner is quite different from the musicians of the band. He always acts in a business like fashion. Yet, he likes music. More precisely: music and dancing.  That's why he stays close to POP music, while considering the fans of R'N'R as some kind of eccentrics. E ven more than stated. Mr. Zlatar's wife Snezana attended a classic music school. As a young lady she used to play the piano with his brother who was eventually to become a professional musician. So, it was a stroke of chance that makes Mr. Milan Zlatar acting like a professional musician. Yes, it's very true, he enjoyed some pieces at New York's Metropolitan Opera, but, more than anything else, he was delighted of singing with Janika Balaz's string orchestra in the...
