MUSIC VIDEOS
My videos often portray some of life's deeper issues and make them more approachable, less threatening and easier to understand. As a devoted teacher, I have always used creative methods to present ideas to my students, friends and followers.
"I hope that you have the STRENGTH to leave all that is unproductive, destructive, and miserable in your life, and I hope that you have the COURAGE to welcome, to seek, and to embrace all that is good, CONSTRUCTIVE and wonderful. —Liliana Kohann

Winged Brothers ("Braciszkowie Skrzydlaci" in Polish)
I wrote this song, inspired by the life of St. Francis and a poem about him, it in 1978 when Poland was still under the communist regime. It was not until 2015 that I learned that this song had become popular in my country. I was thrilled to record it now with great musicians, Ronnie McCoury on mandolin, and members of his band, Jason Carter on Violin, and Alan Bartram, upright bass. We recorded the song and the video in Nashville, TN. Some shots of me singing are from one of the beautiful villages of Poland, Koleczkowo.

Braciszkowie Skrzydlaci ("Winged Brothers" in English)
Tą piosenkę napisałam ją w 1978 roku, kiedy w Polsce panował jeszcze reżim komunistyczny. Po 32 latach życia w Stanach, dopiero w 2015 roku, dowiedziałam się, że ta piosenka stała się popularna w Polsce. To była wielka niespodzianka! Zmotywowało mnie to do nagrania Braciszków Skrzydlatych w studio, w mojej oryginalnej wersji. Ja gram na gitarze i akompaniują mi wspaniali muzycy z zespołu The Travelin' McCourys, którzy dodali trochę elementów muzyki bluegrass. Tu buy single song, click HERE. Released on YouTube 3.3.2024 |

This video captures the many emotions of healing and growth. Just as all the songs come easy to me, this song is a work of many years.

I Will Keep You In My Heart
This video is a powerful story of love broken by an oppressive communist regime during Martial Law in Poland. It was filmed in Gdansk, Poland, often using the landmarks of the actual places where Polish citizens fought for their freedom from communism. I dedicate this song to our soldiers and to all the people who have been separated from their loved ones. —Liliana To buy single song, click HERE.

As My Vision Keeps Improving
In this symbolic video, I portray a challenging part of my life; a journey toward freedom from oppression, toward allowing myself to BE. I sings a song that represents somebody or something in our lives that makes us stagnant — an addiction, procrastination — anything that stops us from becoming whom we are meant to be.

Loving You
This music video is about remembering one's first true love. The story is beautifully portrayed by Ina Bednarska, and all the gorgeous scenes were filmed by Adrian Kohann. Producing this video was, for me, like painting a living picture. Every scene is a memory from my heart — sometimes sad, sometimes happy, but always beautiful. To watch on YouTube, click HERE. |

As My Vision Keeps Improving (LYRIC video)
This video, released on Youtube March 20th, 2013, was my very first music video. This song (originally a poem) was the beginning of my own awareness that I was living in "misery", and that awareness gave me the courage to change my life. As the lyrics helped me, I thought that it also could help others. I made this lyric video so that the profound words of the poem could be easily understood. To watch the lyric video on YouTube, click HERE. |
I love music videos or films that have deeper layers, that can have different interpretations, and that have something that INSPIRES you to reflect on your own life, or MOTIVATES you to make a POSITIVE change. I hope and dream to keep making more videos like that.
