1. „The Rain” (Andrzej Konieczny / Jaruś)
I had a flight to Poland for my good friends wedding (kisses for M&M’s). It’s been really rainy weather here in UK. I was really happy to go to Poland also because I wanted to rest a bit from this fucking weather. Nothing brings me down more than heavy rain in the morning. For a change in Poland… rain. At the wedding day… rain. Fuck! I was standing in a window, smoking the cigarette. My “Liver Brother” said – “maybe you could record some kick-ass track now?” I thought – shit, there is “The Rain”, I used to play over 20 years ago. I dusted it off a bit, I’ve added a bit from myself and… here you are. By the way – it’s my debut on bass.

2. „Rehab” (Jaruś)
The track about getting up from the knees, about the fight with addiction, with myself and also huge thanksgiving to all, who helped me – my family (Dad, Sister, Daughter), Dr. Leszek Zahorski, “University” in Morawica (12th dept), Dr. Marcin, Ms. Agnieszka (counselor at Radom detox) and huge number of my friend, who kept fingers crossed + another mass of “guides”, who “knew that way” already. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth doing that.
“The one who managed to get up is worth more than the one, who has never fallen”

3. „You Are So Beautiful” (Billy Preston / Bruce Fisher)
The first track I’ve ever recorded in the studio. Hands were shaking (legs as well), what you can hear especially in the solo. I played this track once in this version “live” for my good friend… I saw her eyes… I’m sure mine looked the same. I think we’ve been together since then. I’ve recorder this track thanks to her, and I have her huge support in my whole music activity. That’s for you, Asiouku. This CD would never be made without you.

4. „Give Me Back My Money” (Andrzej Konieczny / Jaruś)
I used to work for one company (several hours a day) and there were one company meeting that day. We’ve got 2 important infos that day. First – we are one and only department in this company which exceed the target (the others weren’t even close). Second – due to the new company financial policy our commission would be decreased from 8% to 7%. Yes fucking hell! You work like donkeys, so you will be rewarded like fucking donkeys! I usually get inspired when I’m pissed off, so I didn’t have problems to record this track – recorded in one go without any alterations.

5. „Love” (Jaruś)
It’s such a wonderful feeling – I really recommend it to everyone. Head in a clouds… Heavy, dark clouds from time to time, tears sometimes… but… head in clouds, warmth, chillout… I feel great. I don’t know when this track is from. The guitar in the background was walking through my head over 25 years. The rest is fresh.

6. „Alf” (Jaruś)
Alf was… my car. Yes – it was a fucking car. But it wasn’t the device, which brings you from point A to point B. It was nice few thousand of kilometers with a huge grin on my face, many events, small sport successes (another dreams came truth) and a mass of fucking great people I met that days – many of them are still my friends till now. Huge passion, huge piece of my heart, money and time involved. The best fucking time I’ve ever spent behind the steering wheel. Idea of the track… God only knows where from.

7. „Salem” (Jaruś)
Salem was one of the most rock’n’roll person I’ve ever known. We meet just a few times on some car events – it was always a tons of laugh, burned rubbers, herbs and alc. The stomachache every time and pain in mouth like every roadside whore knows. He left us in strange and unexpected way. Hard to believe. By the way I’ve done one of the best solo ever in this track – made in first go.

8. „Decapitated – Religion of Peace & Love” (Jaruś)
I was sitting at home, chatting with my “brother”. My daughter called me scared – Daddy what’s going on? I’ve found that Lee Rigby was just killed a few hundred meters from my flat – he was a soldier from military station not far from there. It was the chopper flying above the area that time, but it was nothing strange (there were not too many white people around). I got it first time in my live, that the terrorism is not only something you can find in TV, it’s so real that “I can touch it”. Shots in TV… bloodstained hands… cold face without any thoughts… shouts “Allahu Akbar”… Mindless info in TV “it’s not connected to islam” – you know, kind of “copy/paste” in case of muslim terror. I created the basic riffs when I was I think 16. It had to wait for its turn.

9. „My Little Angel” (Jaruś)
Lullaby for my daughter. I was delayed over 20 years with making this track. I don’t know if I was/I’m a good father. I really wanted to be one. I’m sure I fucked up a lot in this subject. Kaja is the most wonderful gift I’ve got from my live. “Sleep My Angel Sleep”. Also recorded in one go – the heart played it.

10. „Liar” (Andrzej Konieczny / Jaruś)
The story of a court case – all about system of justice in UK. Tons of fucking lies – so stupid that really hard to believe, but easy to swallow by the judge, who had been replaced in last moment. The lawyer, who milked us off the money, and then found the way how to fuck up the case for another side (the color of the solicitor is coincidence of course). With huge greetings for Mr. Fred Lambrecht, and whole PCL. Dick up your fucking South African asses. I’ll not follow this subject longer as it negatively turns me up. By the way – I played the bass in this track as well.

11. „Liver Bros.” (Andrzej Konieczny / Jaruś)
Everyone who likes heavy drinking knows what it is about. There are some people, with whom when you start drinking, there are so many subjects to talk about, that the night is too short. Communication without words, catching the same waves, just “liver brotherhood”. Robas, Brachol, Czarny, Somsiat, Misiek, Kfiatek…

12. „Mama” (Jaruś)
The heart played this one as well – made in first go. The story of the most underrated woman in my live and her long fight with the cancer. Sad, full of pain, true. I didn’t have a chance to tell you how much I loved you.

13. „Cocaine” (J.J. Cale)
My good friend Kfiatek decided to commit the marriage one day. I went to the florist shop to buy flowers in the wedding day and I’ve heard Clapton’s “Cocaine” in the radio. I had it in my head all that day. We played it with the band on the wedding party. Fuck, it was awesome – I have to find this tape somewhere. I’ve recorded it in a bit different way – my way. I was also flying one of my favorite axes that day (“It looks like the floor in Ikarus bus”)

14. „Why?” feat. Kred (Jaruś)
Furi was one of those people, whose advices really helped me to do this record. Unfortunately only first few tracks, because he… passed away. He was the creator of biggest successes of Lynchpyn, but also a good spirit, who was always able to tell a few good words. This track was made in pain – few days of hard work and fucking mess in my head. It’s full of sadness, pain and fucking anger. You’ve done it in wrong way mate…
Thanks Kred for really cool bass line in this track.

Recorded 22.02.2016. Well… What the fuck is it?

The world was fuckin’ amazing. A few bad guys – corrupted, egoistic, greedy hypocrites – are doing all now, using not-less-corrupted media and bamboozled crowds, to make it… different – definitely less amazing. There is the light in a tunnel – there are still fucking awesome people on the world, for whom freedom, truth and honour are more important than bank account and clapping morons. I can’t write more as I’m afraid of… “Freedom of Speech”.
