Dances on the Edge: Boris Grebenshikov, Aquarium (Аквариум)

[75MCorso]

Самая любимая песня....

[kyivan]

This song got me through college (in the U.S., finished May 1988). Sometimes, music is medicine. Sometimes, when you're drowning, music is a lifeline.

Spasibo.

красавчики... совсем молодые...

Today I looked down from my rooftop Tonight I will burn letters Stones in my hands That are guarding our world They are not the same thing. I could have written an epos But why risk my camouflage, Could have taken canvas and brushes But it wouldn't change a thing Could have taken a step backwards But that's not what I need. No that's not what I need It's just our dance on the edge of spring.

[mousedriverRussia]

I can see your shore, but what is this shining in bushes

I've seen something similar in one of the video films.

I know your voice better than my own,

But I want to know "Who's talking to me"

I could remain alive

But that's not my inclination.

I could confess my love

But does it change anything?

And would you really want me to do it?

It's just our dance on the edge of spring.

[kirbon88]

Была такая передача помню в Ленинграде-"Кружатся диски".Там этот клип крутили пару раз.Больще я его нигде не видел....

Раритет!Спасибо.

[chasoslov]

Одна из лучших песен Аквариума... помню, как я, впечатлившись этим клипом, мчался по февральским -30и в одной короткорукавной рубашке и с Танцами в наушника, а потом месяц болел ))

[RentonFM]

Funny, it's clear from the video that Boris had used to hide his long hair under his shirt at those times :-)

He always was a very careful man, our guru ;-)

[zzzontag]

Ain't nothing like that in the video. He's got a ponytail and what? Hold your horses making assumptions and conclusions.

[burzum2]

really sweet :D

[nikastudio]

sweet and naive- i've never seen this one before

[bmfsports]

This is greeeeeeeeat! Some of my favorite music and artists are in languages I don't understand one bit. Boris Grebenshikov, Kino, Cho Yong Pil, Juan Luis Guerra....

[RentonFM]

very touching... as a call from early 80-s...

[45vaioon]

real great song, naitive video, Boris is so young....very touching, yeah!

[Waggler]

I always liked this song a lot - first heard it on the "Red Wave" anthology. Thanks for posting this.

[iriauchi]

"Red Wave" anthology? It`s very interesting! Can you tell me more about it? Who are the other singers?

[Waggler]

iriauchi, "Red Wave" was a vinyl double album released in the pre-perestroika mid-80's, featuring four Russian bands (Aquarium, Kino, Alisa and one other which I forget at the moment). This was the first that most Americans had heard of Russian rock, which up until then was an underground phenomenon.

[iriauchi]

Thank you very much, Waggler.

I was born in Soviet Union, and for us this music was like a srteam of fresh air, more than only music, you know.

[Waggler]

You're welcome iriauchi, hearing this music was an ear-opener for me. From that collection, I also liked Kino a lot, particularly the song called "Videli Noch".

[iriauchi]

"Videli noch"? Excuse me, but can I ask ask you a question? Do you understand lyric (text) of this song?

And lyric of this clip? Or under the words "ear opener" you meen only music?

[Waggler]

I understand a little in Russian (ochen mali), but both of these songs were translated into English on the inner sleeve of the album.

[mariyamak]

Thanks, I've never seen this one!
