Krukče 02:28
Носи ме со тебе, веќе знаеме како режи, погодува долго бдее околу и чувствуваш како нешто чудно се појавува Некои деној стварно нема што да те крени, ни крукче, ни муабет мозгаме заедно, а болката твоја ми рипа врз гла, се втурнува Со секој нов ден се тешиме, празнината не е ничиј грев и ако нешто те следи, измачува, знај може само да ти завидува ________________________________ A WALK Take me with you, we already know how it burns, upsets us it lingers around and you feel something strange coming up Some days there’s really nothing that could pick you up, no walk or a chat, we put our heads together, your pain overwhelming me, barging in Each new day we console each other, the emptiness is no one’s fault and if there’s something onto you, hurting you, rest assured that it can only envy you

Како обичен старец шетам дента барам ноќ, а ноќва барам светлина Кога туѓите зборој удираат како покосен легнувам и не ни претам Талкаме долго, бараме нешто без врска се караме некогаш без смисла ни нема чаре Дал’ некој друг нѐ повлекол во вителот на животот чекор по чекор веќе сме доле во вителот се губам чекор подалеку од тука Патот навидум право нѐ носи по страните тенки јазли и желби пространи Уште наивно гледаме од тука толку наивно легнувам и не ни претам ________________________________ WITHIN THE WHIRLWIND OF LIFE I’m walking around like an old man seeking night by day and tonight I’m seeking light When the words of others hit hard I lie down exhausted and I don’t move at all We wander for a long time, seeking, arguing about petty things it makes no sense sometimes there’s no help for us Has someone else pulled us in within the whirlwind of life? Step by step we’re already down here I get lost in the whirlwind one step away from here The road seems to be leading us forward thin nodes and vast desires on each side We’re still innocently watching from here I lie down so innocently and I don’t move at all

Ме носиш во себе, веќе длабоко сум а чувството е обострано, не сум имун неделивиот дел полека се крши ја губи својта сила и не сме рамнодушни Понекогаш се губиш во длабокото за мене само во плитко, таму е најубо моите чувства таму си седат не допираат до тебе и нѐ делат Станувам неподнослив, сам осеќам размислувам за нештата што нѐ врзуваат често сум слеп, ми замерваш не ги сфаќам работите кои стварно нѐ мачат Тргнувам од себе, сакам стварно да знам ме збунува тој поглед, права лутина ме толчи тој гнев, силно удира право во мене, на делој ме крши и сфаќам што стварно ќе значи овој нов почеток за нас двајцата ________________________________ YOU CARRY ME WITHIN YOU You carry me within you, I’m in too deep the feeling’s mutual, I’m not immune this unbreakable bit is slowly starting to break losing its strength and we’re not indifferent to it Sometimes you get lost in the deep I only like it in the shallows, that place is the best my feelings sit around there not getting to you and separating us I’m becoming insufferable, I feel it myself I think about the things that connect us oftentimes I’m blind, you take offense I don’t understand the things that truly bother us I for one would really like to know I’m confused by that look of true anger that resentment is crushing me, it hits hard right at me, breaking me to pieces and I understand what this new start will really mean for the both of us

Nema nazad 03:48
Го носи, и не ѝ пркоси одамна е матно и ќе се влечи Заглавен во далечниот свет оддалеку е лесно, така сокриен Погледни, дал’ не се избори без никаков отпор нема корист Бараш уште, мора повторно толку ли е досадно Доста пројде веќе е касно пак ќе се тргниш не мом да те гледам, нема назад ________________________________ NO WAY BACK It carries him away, he’s not resisting to it it’s been blurry for some time and it will drag on Stuck in a distant world it’s easy when you’re far away, hidden like that Take a look, have you not fought hard for it? There’s no use if you don’t stand your ground You want more, you need it again, is it really that boring? A lot of time has passed it’s late already you’ll back out again I can’t look at you, there’s no way back

Pravo uvo 02:49
Ти ме пазиш, гледаш, чуваш, што се случи / не се гини мрдни, викни, кажи дека не те снема / твоите желби нема да ги снема знам, твоите мисли гласни, затскриени чекаат да најдат право уво Секој ден те убедвам, тешко оди заглавена, само шепот ти претстои бариерите замрзнати така стојат а желбите недалеку чекаат ________________________________ THE RIGHT EAR You take care of me, you watch me, what happened / don’t get lost make a move, say it, tell me you’re not gone / your desires won’t disappear I know, your loud thoughts, they’re hiding waiting to be lent an ear I keep convincing you every day, it’s hard you’re stuck, only whispers lie ahead the frozen barriers are left there standing while nearby the desires are waiting

Običen 03:35
Сретнав нов човек, исто ме праша, од што ли бегам во животот Се враќам назад да најдам што ме довело до тоа Во мене не фали љубов, само изразена не е длабоко седи и се прашвам дал’ е тоа сѐ што го носам за сите луѓе кои стварно ми значат и не им се доверувам јас сум само обичен Среќен за луѓето околу мене и за тие што само сум ги среќавал длабоко во себе јас ги чувам сите нивни мудрости Дал’ ќе најдам нешто повеќе да дадам ________________________________ ORDINARY I met a new person, they asked the same thing, what am I running away from I’m going back to see what led me to this There’s no lack of love in me, it’s just not expressed it’s deep down there and I wonder if that is all that I carry To all the people I really care for but don’t confide in I’m just ordinary Happy for the people around me and for those I’ve been only seeing around deep inside I carry all of their wisdom Will I find anything more to give

Кога не мислам и светот е буден гледам билките растат ко нив сум спокоен Се вртам каде нешто ми свети сиот свет ми е мамка и тоа не ми пречи баш Ништо не мислам ми пречи оваа пуста немоќ ко стварно да сум Загубен во шума и сите стравој силно маваат без волја ни да претнам Заситен од сите нешта што ме правеле среќен ни ситна мисла да ме поведе ________________________________ WHEN I’M NOT THINKING When I’m not thinking and the world’s awake I see the plants growing I’m peaceful like them I turn around to where something’s glaring the whole world is a bait and I don’t mind that at all I don’t think anything at all this damned powerlessness bothers me as if I’m really Lost in a forest and all my fears hitting hard no will to even move at all Tired from all the things that used to make me happy not a single thought to start me off

Golemi umovi 03:20
Предолго опседнат, ја барам својта цел ми значат снимкиве, имаат подвиг посебен ги мислам повторно, ме прават исполнет со себе носат силно значење Ги сакам ваквите средби, твојот приказ искрена победничка слика Ми значат краткиве мигој, саати всушност блеска оваа голема умност Насекаде поделен, низ денот врвиме со мака излегвам, не ни одам баш со лес го барам поривот, спас за мојта жед срамежливиот збор ќе протече ________________________________ WISE MINDS Obsessed for too long, I’m searching for my goal these recordings mean a lot to me, they’re a special feat I think about them again, they bring fulfillment and carry important meaning I like these encounters, your look, a sincere winner’s image These brief moments mean a lot to me, hours in fact this great wisdom shining through I'm all over the place, the day passes by I find it hard to go out, not walking with ease in search of the passion that will quench my thirst the reluctant words will pour out

Mirno mesto 02:43
Често летам со мисливе некако стигнав до тебе Долго не сум те видел нема каде, нема кога сакав да ти пишам некни проверив Тешко ја примив веста помислив сум во сон ме погоди директ не е можно не ни знаев дека волку е лошо Се сетив на твојот чекор одма вратив филм брзо летам назад не сум заборавил Долго не сум те видел нема каде, нема кога сакав да ти пишам некни проверив Тешко ја примив веста помислив сум во сон одма ми текна на твоите ме здоболи, избезумив скроз твоја е крајнава одлука и сигурен сум дека стигна на помирно, поубо место ________________________________ A PEACEFUL PLACE It’s often that my mind wanders off, somehow it led me to you Haven’t seen you in a while there hasn’t been any opportunity for that I wanted to write to you I checked the other day I took the news hard thought I was dreaming it devastated me it can’t be I didn’t even know it was this bad I remembered your gait these images came back to me I quickly go through all those memories I haven’t forgotten Haven’t seen you in a while there hasn’t been any opportunity for that I wanted to write to you I checked the other day I took the news hard thought I was dreaming immediately thought of your parents I felt the pain, completely lost my mind this final decision is yours and I’m certain you’ve arrived at a more peaceful and a better place

Песни во меани за секого погодени во друштво отпеани за сите наши спомени кои носат убавина крепка ко планина а тагава присутна ќе излезе во својот потполн приказ Песни во меани за срца затресени во солзи облеани од сите наши болки кои се кријат длабоко во нас и долго бараме спас но дојде правиот миг со песна да ги оставиме зад нас Уште не знаеш – и ти ќе запееш со нас – со нас ќе заиграш еден ден – тој ден ќе се ослободиш ________________________________ TAVERN SONGS Tavern songs perfect for everyone sung along together for all our memories that bring about a beauty as sturdy as a mountain and this sadness that is present will come out in all its glory Tavern songs for aching hearts dotted with tears from all our pains hiding deep inside and we’ve been looking for salvation now the time has finally come to leave them behind with a song You don’t know it yet – you too will sing along with us – one day you will dance along with us – that day you will set yourself free

about

Three years after the eponymous debut album, Rush to Relax is back with a new full-length release that carries the DIY rock’n’roll project’s most diverse work to date. On his latest record, Damjan Manevski, a Macedonian based in Ljubljana, pushes further ahead and demonstrates his natural development as a musician and even more so as a songwriter in the spirit of the distinctively sincere Macedonian music tradition.

The new Rush to Relax album is driven by Damjan’s warm guitar sound which offers countless catchy melodies which neatly interact with each other. It is an approach that shares similarities with the Flying Nun bands from the 1980s or the contemporary Australian underground scene but its main roots lie in the ever-vibrant music scene of the Balkans.

Although many of the instruments on the record were played by Damjan himself, the overall sound owes a lot to the close collaboration between a number of musicians. Apart from the involvement of the remaining Rush to Relax live band members (Vasja Onič played the drums on most of the songs, Jan Cizej and Erik Kerpan recorded some guitar segments and took care of the album's recording process, while Jan fully took over the mixing process), the record has been enriched with some additional guests. For example, there’s the folk-inspired ‘Pesni vo meani’, where Damjan is joined by his father Zoran Manevski, or the heavy garage banger ‘Pravo uvo’ with Nejc Čulk on drums, synths and backing vocals.

Despite the optimistic and carefree impression left by many of the songs, the familiar Macedonian melancholia is still present throughout the record. It is not an album that tends to conquer the world, rather reach the hearts of those who may recognize themselves in Damjan’s expression, even though the songs are in his native Macedonian. This second album still has the warm home-recording feel that the debut album had, but now with a much-upgraded touch that brings Damjan’s distinctive delivery to a whole new level. The album was recorded in early 2022 at the band’s practice space, mixed in January-March 2022 and mastered in early April 2022.
