„… and I will again go where no one else will, led by a wild star…“
When the name Arsen Dedić is mentioned, right away everyone thinks about the large number of performed songs we all remember and love, about numerous poetry books, about bohemian, charmer and a fun-loving person which became a constant in our lives a long time ago.
As it usually goes with great artists, whose work becomes a part of a collective conscience, during his lifetime he starts existing in two parallel universes. First is the universe of the great, and in this universe Arsen is Krleža or maybe Ujević of popular music, equal to Dylan and Cohen but more charming and warmer than the both… The other universe is Arsen alone, average person next door trying to graciously steer his own life, a life which has outgrown him a long time ago…
