Emlek M-nek by Illes
Eml�k M-nek
Ill�s zenekar ("Ill�s group")
Written by Levente Ször�nyi and János Bródy; released on the album "Add a kezed".
This short and melancholic song (the title in English would be something like "Memory for M.") comes from the
group's 1972 album "Add a kezed". For most of the piece, the arrangement consists of a single acoustic guitar
and solo lead vocal by Levente Ször�nyi. A wordless backing vocal and an organ is added in the second verse,
and the song reaches its climax in the bridge, where the rest of the band (a second acoustic guitar, bass,
drums) plus a string ensemble enters. The bridge starts off (after the tempo slows down a bit at the end of the
second verse) with an almost insane-sounding scale fragment, creating the illusion of tempo change (caused by
eighth, then triplet eighth and then sixteenth notes played). Then in the third (and final) verse only the lead
and backing vocals and the two acoustic guitars remain.
The lyrics tell of a love that's lost forever, the narrator saying that if he had another life and could have
started it over again, he would spend his days (i.e. live his life) with this girl. It can't be figured out
what had led to the end of this relationship (or whether there was one between them at all), but it's likely
not possible to get together (again), as in the bridge he says "I know it's only a dream".
On a tour in the summer of 2005 the group performed the song dedicated to their drummer Zoltán Pásztory, who
had passed away earlier in that year.
The sixteenth-note arpeggios in the verses are quite difficult to play, and might require some practicing. Let
all notes ring.
