Intro (Hey) 00:50
Hey Where are you going to? You forgot to say you're losing your game. Were you all for real? Because I didn't know until you've got it shown Sometimes People act weird sometimes Putting all the lonely people out for any price That's not nice
2.
When you turn to me You know what you'll find But I'm never certain of what you hide But I trust in every twinkle in your eye when you smile And I believe you With just one look you bring me to life Just holding your hand would make me wanna cry Yes, I trust in every minute spent with you And I hope this lucky feeling won't be through too soon I love you so And I believe you
3.
There will be time you'll be leaving me behind Finally I'm gone into oblivion Will you ever tell me you're sorry? Do you realize that you're wrong thinking I'm strong? Go, chceck your mail, there's a letter from an angel A suicidal note from heavens above Now you'd like to say that you're sorry Now you realize that you're wrong Have you ever let her know that you love the girl and you won't leave her behind (in oblivion)? Love may last forever but not this kind She doesn't believe in her love (Heavens above!) So leave her alone There will be time you'll be leaving her behind Finally she's gone into oblivion Now you'd like to say that you're sorry? Now you're gonna admit that you're wrong?
4.
We are young, we're so young We have nobody on our side Though it has been such a long time And in moments of light When we struggled to show our rights What were we supposed to see? There was nobody who'd trust in our ideas that'll last till the end of the world You're sitting there on your couch Looking through a glass Whether it's TV or bottle of wine I don't think I should ask But I'd feel sorry for us We're young we're so young But what do we care? Why don't we have a married Christmas this year? We are young we're so young but we never had enough time Just to realize there is love But the love it never lasts Because you didn't put the trust in my retarded self
5.
I wasn't happy I was in pain I wasn't looking for a place to let me in That's when he left me In the most incredible mess I am a drifter I was in hell I'm someone different And I won't be the same again I'm so glad you're with me When I'm with you And all my fears are crawling up Whenever I cheat on my heart I don't believe in loving It's only a tear-apart Things that they've stolen I will get back But at the moment I guess I will be just fine I'm so glad you're with me The most incredible mess When I'm with you
6.
7.
I don't think that you're the one At least not for me Because in my heart there's a place for someone who'se sensible With arms that would hold me not just when I fall And I know he's there But not with you I don't think that I'm the one I don't think you'd care When one of us is a beauty And I know I'm not good enough But I'd still love to try You're so close to ideal That I literally fear that I might lose you But when he's there I know I could tell I love him A look in his eyes and I'd recognize I love him With just one stare I'd immediately tell I love him A look in his eyes and I'd realize I love him It can't be any of you I'll love him The third man
8.
I'm sure you're there on your bed or couch The room's silent, you;ve headphones on You're listening to music I never approved Your eyes are shut or they're open and shiny Red from allergy wet from the tears With one hand supporting your heavy head I can see you If you're feeling better in your own presence I can't make you prefer mine If you feel glad with what you have Well, no-one can stop you from that You're still sitting there on your bed or couch Holding a book and the cup in your hand Is the same cup that I used to drink from When I was yours All your furniture, all the walls Are soaked with words that we never spoke They carry the burden of my longing to you I can see you
9.
You want to make me believe there was no involvment in this love of mine What do you know, you didn't wait much longer After all this time you gave me a heartshake when I needed a hanshape Hot shot, if there ain't no god Who am I talking to? Right now everything is fine But fun may go out soon You want to make me believe there was no involvment in this love of mine What do you know, you didn't wait much longer After all this time you gave me a heartshake when I needed a hanshape I'm fine with killing time Still, I'm waiting for a sweet surprise I know we're not us anymore But, honey, I believe your eyes Honey, I believed your lies
10.
Didn't cry 02:08
When I was a young girl I didn't cry Tried hard to hide all pain inside I closed my eyes, put on a smile, Dressed in a disguise of something that isn't a human When I was a young girl I didn't cry Today it rains down from the sky Tears soak my dress from up to down, Through skin to soul So I don't think it was wise not to cry
11.
Our dialogues are nothing but whispers But we don't mind We send our prayers through the distance Throughout the night Did I have to smoke each spring Remembering when I loved you forever? A night in the day and a day in the life Under frozen sun Our dialogues are nothing but whispers But we don't mind Your delicate touch makes the blisters Will I survive? Did I have to smoke each spring Remembering when I loved you forever? A night in the day and a day in the life Under frozen We are the same and there's nothing but pain That we carry in us, inside A day in the life Did I have to smoke each spring Remembering when I loved you forever? A night in the day and a day in the life Under frozen sun
12.
Roses 03:50
I didn't know that it's over so I didn't say goodbye When it's over, then I decide to die I didn't know that it's over until I lost my life When it's over, please, don't make me survive Roses are red and heart is too But all that I get from you turns blue Even though I do my best to be true to you In the end we are just blue
13.
It has been so long since you were around So I just sat and wrote a song to cheer me up Lately I've felt lonely in the crowded streets of my town So I decide to take a walk down the Memory Lane Just to let you know that I'll be back someday Even if I feel lonely in these crowded streets of my town I know that it's the only thing that still keeps me around You've known me for so long, exactly who I am You can guess that I'll keep roaming ahead No matter what my road's like If it's rocky, steep or down I'll keep roaming on until the day I die Somedays I can't just understand that I'm in love with you Unlike in fairytales I'm hardly making living, struggling hand in hand So in love but firmly keeping feet on the ground If you're not around I'm hardly breathing Struggling to stay alive That's why I fantasize that you are not around Because one day I know you won't be by my side I'm scared, I'm spared, I'm wasted bread but that's not what you think And who should I believe? I guess I should have known better but I never did It's you who truly wants me to get back on my feet It ain't easy when I'm hardly even breathing when you're not here with me That's why I fantasize that you are not around Because one day I know you won't be by my side That's why I fantasize that you are not around Because one day I know you won't be by my side

about

A/B is a debut album released by Malgola, No in 2016. Despite its DIY production, it was critically acclaimed in Poland and Gruff Rhys of The Super Furry Animals named it his favourite album of 2016. (sources: www.europavox.com/news/i-love-eu-gruff-rhys/ and www.kalporz.com/2016/12/the-best-albums-of-2016-the-artists-list/ ). Malgola played many concerts in Poland and abroad, including a gig at Liverpool Sound City 2018 and her new album is on its way to be released Summer 2020. She performs solo either with synths and backing tracks or just with the piano.

“A/B” to pierwsza plyta Malgoli, No, wydana w 2016 roku. Mimo samodzielnej, domowej produkcji, została szeroko doceniona przez polskich krytyków muzyki alternatywnej. Została też uznana przez Gruffa Rhysa z walijskiego zespołu Super Furry Animals, za jego ulubioną płytę 2016 roku (www.europavox.com/news/i-love-eu-gruff-rhys/ ). Małgola, No zagrała m.in. na festiwalu Spring Break w Poznaniu i Sound City w Liverpoolu, obecnie koncertuje raz po raz w Polsce i w Wielkiej Brytanii. Jej piosenka "Heavens above" śmigała w 2017 roku w Programie Trzecim Polskiego Radia jako Diosenka Dnia.

Recenzje:

Jarek Szubrycht, Gazeta Magnetofonowa: "Oszczędność formy (...) zwraca uwagę na treść. Na to, jak dobre są to numery i z jaką pasją wykonane. I choć surowość 'A/B' ma swój urok, tę lo-fi prawdziwość, której wypasionymi budżetami nie da się zastąpić, uważam, że ktoś natychmiast powinien wywabić Małgolę z jej sypialni." www.facebook.com/malgola.no/photos/a.635827969954945/530513860486357/?type=3&theater

Piotr Metz, WPROST: "(...) ubiegłoroczny niezależny debiut autorki piosenek z Poznania wydaje się ciekawy na miarę pojawienia się kiedyś pierwszych nagrań Gaby Kulki. (...) Wokalnie panna M. potrafi prawie wszystko. Swobodnie porusza się też po aranżacyjnych subtelnościach różnych odcieni wyrafinowanych i zdecydowanie nienachalnych odmian muzyki popularnej." www.facebook.com/malgola.no/photos/a.635827969954945/623676234503452/?type=3&theater

Jakub Bugdol, PORCYS: "A/B pomimo domowej produkcji, zostawia konkurencję w tyle, oferując połamane, klawiszowe kompozycje, które na pierwszy rzut oka prezentują się bardzo niepozornie. (...) Małgola posługuje się formą skromnej, fortepianowej piosenki, by rozsadzić ją od środka, ale nigdy nie przekracza granicy, która oddalałaby ją od popowej nośności. Słowem – spełnia wszelkie warunki, żeby w przyszłości nieśmiało zapukać do niejednej listy polskich songwriterów wszech czasów" www.porcys.com/review/malgola-no-ab/

Paweł Wycisło, PORCYS: "w jej króciutkich utworach dzieje się harmonicznie więcej (...) niż na całych piosenkowych płytach, którym Pitchfork zazwyczaj wystawia śliskie 8.3" www.porcys.com/playlist/malgola-no-medicine/

Tomasz Skowyra, PORCYS: " I tak właśnie jest z Małgolą – nowa płyta ma się ukazać w przyszłym roku i wszystko wskazuje na to, że powinna przebić debiut, który przecież tak nam się podobał. Czekamy z niecierpliwością." www.porcys.com/playlist/malgola-no-exercise/

Kamil Babacz, Rytmy.pl: "nie powinniśmy pozwolić, by taka muzyka przeszła bez echa." rytmy.pl/daria-zawialow-malgola-no-kalina/

Krzysztof Ciach, kinkyowl: "Tu każda piosenka jest pokazem tego, czym powinien być songwriting.(...) A/B pełne kruchych melodii jest po prostu magiczne, a to, że takie rzeczy dzieją się w Polsce napawa dumą." kinkyowl.pl/polonez-2016/

Patryk Weiss, Screenagers.pl: " 'Exercise' to chyba najbardziej przebojowy materiał poznanianki, w którym osadzone na automacie perkusyjnym gęsto uderzane klawisze pianina w towarzystwie falujących uderzeń gitary wystukują miarowy, hipnotyzujący rytm, któremu nie sposób się nie poddać. Choć oczywiście, jak zwykle, najjaśniej lśni tutaj songwriting, pełen nietuzinkowych zmian akordów i harmonicznych zawijasów." www.screenagers.pl/index.php?service=audios&action=show&id=171
