about

Okay! This is it. 52 Memories is the last song of my debut EP called CLOSE. I'm closing a chapter of my life and I'm happy to complete it with this particular song.. (although, I'll be living the story of 52 Memories forever).

To you, all the faces in this music video are strange, but to me, they are the dearest ones I have in my life. "Friends and aunts and uncles, mom and dad and brothers and our little darling ones" - this is my family. I've been living in music since the day I was born and I'm very grateful for that.

I'm a '90s kid, so I don't have many videos of me when I was little, I did manage to find some though. It was also very difficult to describe my whole life from this point of view - and put it into just one song (very similar to 25 Years, and yes, these two songs are strongly related to each other).

The river, the cabin, the rehearsal places... they are my home that I feel safe in. While editing the video, I was very touched by the fact that I'm priviledged to see how all of us aged - "growing up, getting older" - how time flies! Some of us are no longer here and I miss them. My personality was influenced by all of these people deeply and I'm very thankful. Musically, I'm definitely who I am because of this family I've been given. And, of course, who I am as a person. Thank you, I feel very blessed to be a "52 Kid".

In loving memory of Otto Chalupník and Zdeněk Votýpka.

lyrics

it’s the middle of the summer
hot days, cold river
sleeping bags in tents around

friends and aunts and uncles
mom and dad and brothers
and our little darling ones

campfire in the evening
playing songs and singing
someone never goes to sleep

we’ll make a path of candles
watching the sparkles
surrounded by fireflies

ú
ú

morning tea and golden trees
frozen nose in a cheerful breeze
drinking from the forest spring

running through the grass and water
growing up, getting older
painting our memories

our memories are here
and they’ll always be
something close to our hearts
when you and I were young

my memories are here
and they’ll always be
something close to my heart
when you and I were young
