Šaban Šaulić - Meni Je S Tobom Sreća Obećana

Review by love-letter-wiki

Meni Je S Tobom Sreća Obećana – A Timeless Yugoslav Folk Gem That Still Hits Hard Let’s get real for a second. There’s something about Šaban Šaulić’s Meni Je S Tobom Sreća Obećana that feels like sitting by an open window on a rainy afternoon, letting memories wash over you. Released in 1981 under Jugodisk, this album isn’t just folk music—it’s a raw emotional journey wrapped up in strings and soulful vocals. And yeah, it’s got those classic Balkan feels that stick to your ribs long after the record stops spinning. Now, I’ll be honest: not every track grabbed me right away. But when they did? Man, oh man. Take “Ljubim, Ljubim,” for example. This one sneaks up on you. The way Šaban belts out those verses makes it feel like he’s pouring his whole heart into your living room. It's simple but devastatingly effective—like hearing someone confess their love while trying to hold back tears. You can almost picture him sitting there at some dimly lit café, cigarette smoke swirling around as he sings about longing and devotion. By the time the orchestra kicks in (shoutout to Orkestar Mirka Kodića), you’re done for. Completely wrecked. Then there’s “Sneg Je Opet Snežana.” If you’ve ever felt the sting of winter mixed with nostalgia, this song will gut you. The melody is haunting yet comforting, like wrapping yourself in an old wool blanket. It’s slow and deliberate, giving you space to sit with your own thoughts. Every note feels intentional, thanks to Dragan Knežević’s arrangement. And let’s not forget Aca Radojičić’s engineering magic—he made sure every instrument and vocal nuance came through crystal clear. When Šaban sings, “Sneg je opet Snežana,” it’s impossible not to imagine snow-covered streets and bittersweet goodbyes. What strikes me most about this album is how human it feels. These aren’t perfect studio productions; these are real emotions laid bare. Listening to it now, decades later, it’s wild how much it still resonates. Maybe it’s because we all have moments where love feels promised but just out of reach—or maybe it’s just Šaban’s voice doing its thing. Either way, this record has a way of burrowing deep inside you. Here’s the kicker though: I listened to this album during a power outage last week. No fancy speakers, no distractions—just my phone plugged into tinny earbuds. And guess what? It hit even harder. Sometimes, great music doesn’t need perfection. It just needs truth. So if you haven’t heard Meni Je S Tobom Sreća Obećana, do yourself a favor and give it a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up crying over someone you haven’t thought about in years.
