Hello sweet SG country!
I disappeared from the radar a little this fall: as always, I struggle with the autumn blues and try to learn to enjoy the little things. But the post is not about that. Once upon a time, I made music posts and talked about the music I grew up with, and as a rule, you also knew all this music very well. We live in a very dynamic time, we know a lot, we can do a lot, information of various kinds fills us every day and especially this year. Personally, I am not so easy to impress with the music, as I have probably heard it all the way.. so I thought until recently!
The group from Russia Shortparis surprised me in the most pleasant sense of the word.I forgot that art should shock, surprise, amaze. And I forgot that all this can be done with the help of music and text.
1.SHAME.
We are conscious in ourselves, in the dark, alone with ourselves, and our inner critic is watching us on a luxurious sofa: he looks like a snob, and clearly expects something. This song is about shame as it is, how often do we ask ourselves what is shame? Do we often ask ourselves: why is it needed at all?
2. KoKoKo/ Structures don't take to the streets.
Here I will use the description of the announcement from the independent media: The musicians themselves acted as directors of the video - in it they sing in the chicken coop and the cutting shop. The lyrics and script were written several months ago - at the very beginning of the quarantine. However, the group again succeeded in predicting real events - many listeners considered that the song was connected with the events in Belarus.
3. SCARY.
Chorus: "That's why it's scary."
Scary why?
On the net you can find more songs and information on this extraordinary and advanced Russian group, I hope you liked my humble descriptions, and I hope that the video series and music did not leave you indifferent! This is indeed a very important project for Russia.
