Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Konstrakta builds on this notion with her climactic chant in Latin, highlighting how society has completely forgotten to register one’s mental health as a marker for how healthy we are. She sings how the body is healthy, but the mind is sick, sad, frightened, and desperate; yet this all means nothing as long as we appear well on the outside.
guys you dont get it. when konstrakta (serbia) is singing, here she doesn't say "i am left on my own"
she says: "nemam knjižicu"
in translation:
i dont have health insurance
idk why they mistranslated it when the point of the entire song is about unattainable health, including healthcare system and its problems and privatization
ok we need to talk ab serbia a bit cause they’re getting unnecessary hate.
serbia's song is not just about washing your hands. it is a "protest" against serbian law which does not recognize artists as real workers so they don’t have access to insurance, so they either have enough money for expensive treatment or they suffer, die (e.g. of leukemia, alone, without any medical care, which i believe happened to a friend of konstrakta). this is a fucked up situation and it's good that it is publicized, because no one is talking about it. also fun fact: the base beat in this song is a heartbeat of a healthy person.
