Three Tune Tuesday #181 .:. Leningrad (pt.3)
Today I continue talking about Leningrad - the most intresting band of the Russian musical scene in 2000-es. Would be impossible to fit their story into a 3 songs selection, so this to be continued > Part one | Two.
Leningrad — Funerals
The song makes a particularly strong impression precisely as a contrasting combination of lyrics and video; the song is accompanied by a melancholic dance by world champions in Argentine tango Pancho Martinez Pey and Alejandra Gutti. The director of the video is Dunya Smirnova. I am trembling and shaking from this extremely powerful thing, and it really cannot be verbalized in words... Feel it yourself. Below I give a translation of the main part of the text (by the way, the text is full of alliterations).
"Funerals! Funerals!" (the crows scream in chorus)
The sun will shine like a buckle on a soldier's belt
Stones and sand will turn to feathers
A boards-made coffin will become one's tight shirt
A crazy wrecked homeless says: "Death is always a dessert"
But the trains here run strictly on schedule
A wedding goes on its way on ringroad...
Песня производит особенно сильное впечатление именно как контрастное сочетание текста и видеоряда; песню сопровождает меланхоличный танец чемпионов мира по аргентинскому танго Панчо Мартинеcа Пей и Алехандры Гутти. Режиссер клипа - Дуня Смирнова. Меня бросает в дрожь и трепет от этой чрезвычайно сильной вещи, и это на самом деле словами не вербализовать... Прочувствуйте это сами. Ниже я даю перевод основной части текста (кстати, текст насыщен аллитерациями).
Солнце заблестит, как бляха на солдатском ремне
Камни и песок станут пухом праху
Сбитый из досок гроб станет тесной рубахой
Сумасшедший бомж скажет: "Смерть всегда десерт"
Здесь по расписанию ходят электрички
По дороге едет свадьба...
Leningrad — Praying song
A big hit, with interesting lyrics and a funny, captivating video. The girl sings that there is no God; and if there is, he is deaf and indifferent to all her requests - to send her bigger breasts, to send her a loved one with a fatter wallet, to mend the holes in the budget, etc.
Большой хит, с интересным текстом и смешным завораживающим видео. Девушка поет о том, что Бога скорее всего не существует; а если есть, то он глухой и равнодушный ко всем ее просьбам - послать ей грудь побольше, послать любимого человека с кошельком потолще, заштопать дыры в бюджете, etc.
Leningrad — Pardon I am in love
An unofficial video, composed of frames from a film about a love drama. It also has an interesting contrast between the text and the frames, which is what attracts...

I couldn't understand a word of it, but makes me want to go back to Russia! LOL

$PIZZA slices delivered:
@qwerrie(2/5) tipped @edgerik

qwerrie tipped thebighigg
Very, very cool! That first one fits so nicely with the tango, surprisingly well. I must admit that the second was my favorite, it was entertaining. And the devil sure didn't look all that bad in that at all!
The third was kind of bizarre, but I liked it as well. It was great music mixed with that weird video. That guy was a little psycho... But so was she for taking off with the guy in the first place...
You never fail to entertain, great job on this TTT!
!BEER
Aha! Now, three of us are in the same boat: you, me, and mypathtofire. great video indeed! I just wish you knew the lyrics... very sarcastic and funny. (The lady is asking God of very trivia and idiotic things... that we are supposed NOT to bother the Lord with; and she accuses him being deaf to her prayers).

I'd say this band is not so much about unique style but rather about stunning vibe, exciting energy, and charisma 😎 but one way or another - its a huge back catalogue of nice music. Thanki for a feedback, and let me treat you with Hive !PIZZA.
