Panorama of the Battle of Racławice – Wrocław
The uplifting memory of the battle held immense significance for the Polish nation, which had lost its sovereignty due to the partition treaties from 1772 to 1795. The Great National Exhibition in 1894 in Lwów presented the perfect occasion for the Styka project. A special canvas was custom-made in Brussels, while the iron structure of the supporting rotunda, designed by Ludwik Ramułt, was created in Vienna. The rotunda’s housing was constructed in Stryjski Park in Lwów in July 1893. The monumental canvas was finished in just nine months, between July 1893 and May 1894, and the Panorama of the Battle of Racławice officially opened on June 5, 1894. It captivated its visitors and attracted hordes of tourists to the city.
The painting withstood the ordeals of war and a tumultuous post-war era. It survived bombings and years of concealment in a makeshift wooden crate filled with rat poison. After World War II, it was moved to Wrocław along with part of the Ossolineum collection from Lwów. The painting became both a source of contention and a bargaining chip for high-level politicians during the complex post-war period influenced by the Soviet Union.

Where’d You Go – Fort Minor (feat. Holly Brook and Jonah Matranga)
Where’d you go?I miss you so,Seems like it’s been forever,That you’ve been gone.
She said “Some days I feel like shit,Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit, “I don’t understand why you have to always be gone,I get along but the trips always feel so long,And, I find myself tryna stay by the phone,‘Cause your voice always helps me when I feel so alone,But I feel like an idiot, workin’ my day around the call,But when I pick up I don’t have much to say,So, I want you to know it’s a little fucked up,That I’m stuck here waitin’, at times debatin’,Tellin’ you that I’ve had it with you and your career,Me and the rest of the family here singing

In Dreams – Roy Orbison
Ok one for Valentine’s Day week that is timeless.
A candy-colored clown they call the sandmanTiptoes to my room every nightJust to sprinkle stardust and to whisperGo to sleep, everything is alright
I close my eyes then I drift awayInto the magic night, I softly sayA silent prayer like dreamers doThen I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams I walk with youIn dreams I talk to youIn dreams you’re mine all of the timeWe’re together in dreams, in dreams
