Russian rock music! My favorite songs

I'm including a couple songs from a few artists I like (spotify links), with a bit of an explanation of what each song is about.

This is a long post so the rest is below the cut if you're interested :)

Going by band/artist!

Секрет (Sekret) - rock and roll, beatles-ish, mostly upbeat but they do have some range. Lots of song that are just fun to sing along to :)

One of my favorite songs from them that is fairly representative of their general sound:

Привет (Privet - meaning: Hello)

This song is about a chance meeting with an old friend on the subway. So catchy! So fun to sing along to! A little bittersweet :)

Here's a song of theirs that has a bit of different sound:

Ночь (Noch - meaning: Night)

This is just a beautiful poem about city nighttime and its many aspects, personified. Very evocative.

Кино (Kino) - more punk/post punk. Mostly sad/melancholic songs with emphasis on lyrics, but the beats are top notch.

Note: I really love this band so I really recommend checking out more of their songs if you like these, they made such good music.

Звезда по имени Солнце (Zbezda pa imeni Solntza - meaning: A Star named the Sun)

The song talks about the way 2000 years pass for a city, with conflict and wars going and returning through the cyclical passage of time.

Лето (Leto - meaning: Summer)

This song sort of talks about everyday life, but mostly negative aspects - bad weather, a long-closed down restaurant, a broken record player - while evoking a melancholic apathy. Depression but with a killer beat.

Земфира (Zemfira) - very punk rock singer. Her vibe is kinda like P!nk maybe? Amazing vocals, pretty modern lyrics (tbf she's started her career in 1998...)

Хочешь? (Khochesh? - meaning: Do you want?)

Song expressing love/adoration - basically "I would do the craziest things for the smallest improvements in your life". Example: do you want me to blow up the stars so they don't bother your sleep? It's a super fun song :)

спид (spid - meaning: AIDS)

In this song the narrator's partner has just found out they have aids. She's thinking about what little future is left for them. It's a pretty hopeless song but it's also kick ass

Машина Времени (Mashina Vremeni)

Звезды Не Ездят в Метро (Zvezdy ne Yezdyat V Metro - meaning: Starts don't take the subway)

Unrequited love or perhaps a chance meeting that never will be. A dichotomy between the hopeful fan on the subway and the discontent music star in his apartment.

Крематорий (Krematorij)

Родео и Джульетта (Romeo and Juliet)

This song is about a dysfunctional relationship. If we ignore all the bad stuff - we were just like Romeo and Juliet! There's an undercurrent of a tragic "it was doomed to fail".

Мусорный ветер (Musornyj veter - meaning: Wind of garbage/Garbage wind)

This song is about pollution :)

Bonus: not really rock but this song just makes me so emotional and is part of the inspiration for this post

Aquarium

25 к 10 (25 to 10)

This one is kind of a ballad (i think? not very good with music genres). It's about accepting your life and not regretting it. Being unapologetically yourself. Honestly makes me emotional evry tim

And.. I've hit audio limit for this post. I didn't even know that was a thing. Anyway I hope anyone seeing this post enjoys some of these songs and maybe check out other songs by these artists if you like them :)

Eurovision 2004 - Number 16 - Yana - "Скажы мне"

Here's something incredibly rare. Eurovision and the national finals normally take a decade to catch up with mainstream musical trends. Just occasionally, there's something almost contemporary and up to date. In 2004 there's a song that's actually ahead of the curve. In Belarus. You may think that dubstep had its Eurovision heyday in 2013, yet here's Yana doing something with some heavy bass, 2-step rhythms and all the wubs in the TV studios of BTRC in 2004.

Let's start with Yana who's full name is Tatiyana Lipnitskaya - although she's now much better known as Бьянка/Bianka. In 2004 she's still better known as Yana. Not only is she singing here, but she also wrote the song. Her normal genre is R'n'B, and she's already been kicked out of a traditional folk choir in her childhood for 'unconventional vocals'. She's someone who's got an ear for some highly non-Belrusian music and here she isbringing that to a stage that's maybe not ready for such unconventionality.

For context, in 2004 dubstep is still largely a London-based form of music emerging from the UK garage scene over the previous five years. Outside of the record shops of Croydon and clubs in the East End, it's not heard. Even John Peel only started playing this it 2003. English language listening is also evidenced in the lyrics. Even though the song is called Скажы мне (Skazhi mne/Tell Me), it's sung entirely in English. The only bit of this that isn't from a club in the UK is the sample of Russian folk music used in one of the breaks. It's so out of place, and yet it so good!

It will not come as a shock to learn that out of the fifteen songs, this finished tenth. Radical departures in music rarely get immediate public approval, even if the phone vote across the entire field at the Belrusian selection is unbelievably, suspiciously close. Yana did impress the TV producers and new Belarusian delegation so much that they invited her to be the 2005 representative of Belarus at Eurovision - internal selection and everything.

She turned them down.

Since this appearance Bianka has gone from strength to strength - but has had not further involvement in Eurovision. For her first album in 2006 she refined her style and named the album after it - Russian R'n'B. Typically she incorporates traditional Russian instrumentation and styles with a much more contemporary R'n'B sound. Eight albums and fifty-five singles later, she's still going strong. Here's an example of her sound from 2007 - Про лето (Pro leto/About Summer)

[kmp78]

I made an ask for her “how is summer aka (лето) in all meanings”

You know Лето=Leto

She answered it’s been the best summer in her life and there’s more to come but she can’t tell a lot in sm.

Yeah don't tell on IG for free but save it for OF for $8,95!

Последнее лето | last summer

Forgive me, my home

Inside me is oblivion

I hope this is a dream

It's simply such an hour

And high in the sky

Birds are watching us

Certainly it would be easy

To bid farewell to us

But I can't live

There's a tsunami inside me

There was once a glorious garden,

Full of beautiful flowers

Find my childhood gaze,

I will be grateful

Look, the dawn is already

Melting away in my hands

Please live

Kill the oblivion inside me

And all my flowers

Will blossom out as if they've never seen the sun before

Have never seen the sun

Have never seen the sun

Have never seen the sun, the sky or dawn

And this is probably their last summer

They've never seen the sun, the sky or dawn

And this is probably their last summer

Many thanks @darcymariaphoster for the tag :D

Last song: Лето (Leto/Summer) by Индустрия (Industriya). I love their songs a lot, the vocalist gives me massive gender envy but honestly the music is very chill and kind of emotional- highly recommend!

Currently reading: “Cell biology: a short course” bc ya boi is going back to university in September for another masters before I (hopefully) do a PhD

Currently watching: The Brokenwood Mysteries! Series 9 was off to a shaky start but it picks up from episode 3. Also rewatched “Magpie Murders” over the last couple of days (6 episodes, BBC iPlayer) and I really enjoyed that. Also rewatching the Icelandic murder mystery “Trapped”. I May have a Type. Also some issues.

Current obsession: see above lol. But also learning languages! I want to focus on Polish bc when I go back to my old job for three days at the end of the month before I leave properly, I want to show off to ✨🇵🇱Anton🇵🇱✨ (god bless this middle-aged dad I adopted)

Currently Watching

YouTube video essays because I’m that bitch who will watch long ass YouTube essays on topics I know nothing about/ had no precious interest in.

Currently Reading

Technically I’m still reading Gideon the Ninth and This is How You Lose the Time War but I haven’t picked up either book in a while. 😅

Also I’ve been keeping up with the latest chapters of Chainsaw Man on Viz.

Current Obsession

Hetalia,obviously. Also Internet Horror, which includes ARGs, Unfiction series, Analog Horror, and just general spooky Internet shit.

Ngl I’ve one of those people who, when you ask me about my interests, I immediately forget everything I enjoy. 😭

I’ll probably edit this later with more things I remember I like.

Лето (Summer) - Kirill Serebrennikov 2017

[languageisleavingmeinsilence]

Leto (ЛЕТО) movie poster (2018

[shimyereh]

I was recently thinking about how the concept of marking people’s ages by summers is a thing that exists in both English and Russian.

In English, I’m pretty sure I’ve only seen this used poetically. I can immediately think of two examples from Gilbert & Sullivan. In the Act I finale of Ruddigore, Rose enters to: “Hail the Bride of seventeen summers!” In Act I of Pirates, Ruth pleads with Frederic: “Take a maiden tender — her affection raw and green, / At very highest rating, / Has been accumulating / Summers seventeen…” Wiktionary adds that this usage is esp. for younger ages — which checks out with those examples, each emphasizing (or attempting to emphasize) a character’s youth.

In Russian, the word for “year”, год/god, takes the alternate genitive plural лет/let [lit. “summers”, declined from лето] when it’s used for counting numbers of years. So most ages are actually given in summers! I’ve definitely seen years referred to as “summers” in other contexts, too, typically in the plural (лета) and with a somewhat poetic feel. Looking at the etymology, I see Old Church Slavonic лѣто/leto means both “summer” and “year”.

Also, note words like летопись/letopis’ [chronicle, lit. “summer/year” + “write” --> “record of summers, yearly record”]. English has “annals”, which comes from Latin annales libri [books of years], without the double meaning of “summers”. (And then there’s also English “chronicle” and Russian хроника/khronika, which both trace back to Greek χρόνος/khrónos [time].)

Why mark years by summers, in particular? My guess would be it’s something to do with summer as the prime of the year, in a metaphorical framework where spring is new life and winter is death.

Leto. Summer...

Июнь

Не буду писать о учебе, зачетах и экзаменах. 

Первое число месяца. Мы сидели на нашей лавочке на набережной, пели песни, ну грубо говоря. Тогда я писала первый план дел на лето и, почему-то параллельно на осень...

Потом было белое платье, плохой кофе CityFix и прекрасное солнце...

Дальше вторник - пикник. Меня человека, который обожает городскую архитектуру, затащили на берег Енисея...

Пятница - рассвет. Свобода. Эти два слова полностью характеризуют тот день. Хотя наверное можно добавить еще слово Молодость. Тогда я жила в моменте. 

Потом были дождливые понедельни��, вторник в Кексе))) И последний экз, сессия закрыта на хорошо-отлично и нет ни капли сожаления. Так должно быть. 

И закрывают июнь две прогулки с Ксеней. Пятница - отмечали закрытие сессии и суббота - кофе и вечер у них.

Июль + Август

Неделя у бабушки. Роковой разговор с мамой. Возвращение в Каратуз. И все бы шло в том же ключе. Но я начала просто жить. Постриглась, как давно хотела. Были моменты когда сидела на своем питании. Начала краситься. Проходила курсы Питона, правда не закончила. Опять заболела Дашкин, но почему то именно ранней. и ПО-МОЕМУ НАЧАЛА ЛЮБИТЬ СЕБЯ. Правда я, как и хотела вернулась к себе. Прочитала Дориана Грея, впечатлил, достаточно интересно и еще раз доказывает, что не нужно верить аннотациям. Фильм “Стажер” показал, что не все, что было раньше не прекрасно, что-то все-таки можно оставить. И даже если на кону стоит призрачное счастье твоей семьи не бросай то за что тебя полюбили изначально. БУДЬ СОБОЙ! Эта мысль была и в книге о Дориане.

Гамак. О нем я напишу отдельно. Пять минут на нем плюс наушники в уши и ты в норме. Или просто лежать и слушать песни Коржа. Кстати, с Коржом как нельзя ближе познакомилась именно этим летом.(”Где твоя любовь, сука”; “Мотылек”)

А еще лимонные обертывания, кофейный скраб, зеленый чай с мятой и манго, а еще лучше с малиной и земляникой, прогулки почти ночные, остановка возле старого автовокзала, браслеты, афигенно звездное августовское небо и полное ощущение дома. Тихо и спокойно. Именно эти два месяца сделали таким обычным и счастливым, как раньше.

Спасибо!

P.S. Теплые капли дождя на твоей коже. И ты идешь по любимому городу, понимая, что живешь...
