OLIVER IN ROYAL ALBERT HALL

 

 

When Oliver Dragojević asked me what was it, that made me discover his music, I lied. – I said it came together with my many holidays in Pelješac, where Cesarica reigns over the local radios. What really happened, however, was this: I haven’t quite noticed Oliver’s music at all until my last Croatian summer, when in a few weeks’ time, I managed to fall in love with a man I believed was gorgeous, and then obviously got my heart broken into bits and pieces. Nisam ja za te was our song. What a lovely romantic tune, - I thought, watching sunset over Mljet and imagining the rest of my life in the arms of the gorgeous man, fishing and drinking Plavac Mali. Only when tears were flowing down my cheeks on the way back to Prague, I put the volume up and finally appreciated the lyrics, too. I was grateful to – what on earth was the singer’s name? – for being there, for not letting me drive home completely alone. I had to take the CD out and check: the name was Oliver Dragojević.
