Milan Hlavsa/Jirina Zemanova)
A strand of hair shielding my eyes
No one can see
With a trembling hand I remove the haze
To awake my troubled eyes
I am the wind
I sweep but don't clean
I carry the dirt farther away
I am the sun
I am of no use to blossoming buds or ripening fruits
At times I peek from behind the clouds
And shine through myself
I am the rain
My drops will not touch you
For I am the flood

Pulnoc was a Czech rock band established in 1988 by three members of the Plastic People of the Universe: Milan Hlavsa, Josef Janícek (keyboards), and Jirí Kabeš. Hlavsa chose his sister-in-law, Michaela Nemcová, to be the band's lead singer. Hlavsa started Pulnoc because the Plastic People was denied permission to travel or perform openly by the Czech government. In the spring of 1989, Pulnoc went on a tour of the United States that led to them gaining considerable favorable attention there. For example, Robert Christgau named a bootleg of a concert the band played in New York City the best album of 1989. Steve Hochman described this tour as "remarkable at least as much musically as it was culturally," writing that when the band played a show in San Francisco in 1989, "Plastic People fans and the uninitiated curious alike were floored by the combination of heavy metal, art-rock, operatic vocals and locomotive-worthy propulsion."

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
