Zbigniew Wodecki will forever remain in the hearts of Poles as one of the greatest artists. Everyone knows such hits as “Chałupy welcome to”, “Start with Bach”, “I’ll take you to the ball tonight” or “I want to see the world with you”. The biggest hit, however, was “I like to go back to where I was”. The author of the lyrics was Wojciech Młynarski, and the creator of the music was Wodecki himself. The song is about great love.
What is the song “I Like to Go Back to Where I Was” about? It lay in a drawer for several years
“I like to go back to where I was” is a song dedicated to the love of Zbigniew Wodecki and his wife Krystyna. It refers to the circumstances in which they met. You can find information on the Internet that the song was written in 1980, but this is not true. The composition was created a few years earlier, but was just lying in a drawer. – We won’t find out why she was lying there, because no one knows – said Katarzyna Wodecka-Stubbs, Zbigniew’s daughter, in one of the interviews.
Wodecki recalled that composing music for this piece was extremely simple for him and everything came together beautifully. – It worked out for me, bar by bar. It went like clockwork. And the timpani, and the symphonic sound, he said. Later, he often performed it as a duet, including: with Alicja Majewska, Irena Santor, Krystyna Prońko, Hanna Banaszak.

The artist’s daughter pointed out a characteristic fragment in the work, which proves that real events were actually described. We are talking about an old tenement house at ul. Kapucyńska, which was rented by the Wodecki family. She had a balcony full of climbing roses. – Wojciech Młynarski dedicated the text to his parents, hence the appearance of “the girl with braids”, i.e. my mother, and “the boy with the violin”, my dad. Mr. Wojciech then came to my parents’ apartment – added Katarzyna. Zbigniew and Krystyna got married in 1971 and were married until the artist’s death in 2017.
