[aigarius]

"In native language, in native language all people cry, in native language all people laught, only native language your suffering will bear, native language is your mother, everything is sweeter in your native tongue, you'll laugh to yourself in your native language. And when you'll be unable to laugh or cry, when you'll be unable to do a thing, you'll look up into the sky in silence, in your native language."

an ode to the opression of latvians and of latvian language under the soviet rule.

[xCiprix21x]

[TheBTar]

Alter Schwede ist das geil... die beste Stelle ist ab 1:26!!!!!

[MrMaestro14231]

All their music is epic and makes my ears feel good.

[wyldeotse]

It is music that keeps a country alive. Even through fires of hell. Music is more than vibration and sound. It is blood. It is soul. At its best, it is cosmic consciousness - heart of Spirit Divine. In one word: Love.

[Rhysz1]

Apocaliptica prolly did this first. Does it diminish how cool these guys are? I think not! It's awesome....... At the oment I can't open their homepage but I'd like to learn more about them! First thing tomorrow I'm ordering a couple of their CD's!

[OLQH2]

@Rhysz1 I didn't even know they had a homepage! Or any CD's! I LOVE THEM!!! I'm a cello player myself! And I adore these guys!!!! ADDDOOORRREEE THEEEEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[KasteLV]

Cik zemu jānolaižas latvietim, lai atbildētu uz tik pretīgiem ārzemnieku komentāriem par PSRS?

Tik un tā, Viena no mīļākajām dziesmām, paties.

[pienenjpuuka]

Yea, it's "Dzimtā valoda". One of the most beautiful and the most patriotic Latvian songs. :)

Melo-M rocks, I'm proud to call myself Latvian.

[ForeverDawn101]

The cello introduction is so beautiful....!

Crap, I'm a sucker for string instruments.

;P

[rastakief]

Hey they're not apocalyptica, you cannot compare Melo-M to Apocalyptica.

Apocalyptica is a heavy metal band

Melo-M doesn't play heavy metal, it's not far from classical music.

[bccole77]

Definitely not Apocalyptica, they have far more talent and are much more learned in musical composition.

[mrutopiando]

niceee

[dst2525]

it is dzimta valoda the group is froam my country

[Emotoadandfish]

Where can I find the music sheet for this? :(

[alexfuntube]

5 star!

[Dishm0nster]

They play beautifully but nothing compares to Apocalyptica (=

[Angeliuqe]

why do you have to compare it to Apocalyptica?

they never said they are Jr. Apocalyptica band...

[SaneStarkiller]

vins teica, ka Apocalyptica saka ar stigu insturmentiem, tac beidziet vienreiz dirsties!

[DoctorLexus]

Reality:

These earnest pseudo-sophisticated musicians have at least worked hard to memorize their painstakingly worked-out pseudo-classical parts, but they self-evidently don't have the skills to do any serious improvising.

They don't actually play particularly well. All their parts are very easy (in spite of how much naive and unperceptive people may passionately protest that this is not the case.)

Nobody who literally has a clue could take this kind of over-hyped music seriously. Why lie?

[mckiller45]

woah........ ur right!!!

[soaksash]

Now we know who has something stuck up their *ss...why so serious?

[theDaystar11]

i think the reality is you have no idea what this particular song means to Latvian people. do some background research, maybe then you'll understand why they love this performance so much.

[russianargyle]

Isn't the point of music to entertain people? Why do we have to take it seriously? Can't we just enjoy it for what it is?

[DoctorLexus]

That's a great point.

Like why would anyone ever take music seriously? It's all 'posed to be...FUN! And being serious and having fun are utterly incompatible. Afterall, serious stuff is way too comp'icated. Also serious stuff makes my brain hurt. Plus all those words are way too confusing. Wouldn't it be best if almost everyone ran around being like um SIMPLISTIC and STUPID? Why should anyone ever wish to apply any critical thinking to anything? Yay for fun!

[russianargyle]

Um, Not what I'm saying. I'm saying while you may enjoy being a pretentious jackass commenting like you are the god of culture and intellect, other people are able to enjoy this music because it sounds good. Please. Tell me something "serious and intelligent" about the music you listen to.

Oh and, by the way, this is Youtube. This isn't exactly the place to go if you are looking to critically analyze something. So could you please just stop being a pompous bastard? Thanks.

[DoctorLexus]

Um, nice name-calling, russianargyle.

Let's make a deal: I'll try to be more naive and dummied-down if you try to be more perceptive and accurate. But what are the chances of that happening?

You're right about the dearth of critical analysis on youtube. Your own comment is a fine example of that. But this is a public forum and criticism is entirely appropriate. You must have this place confused with a fan club-like site in which everyone gushes simplistic flattery.

Yours truly,

P.B.

[SqvirlGirl]

OK...I have to agree with russianargyle...& being first gen CDN of Latvian descent, we don't agree with Russian anything (FYI that is humour)

DOCTORLEXUS you are a complete buzzkill..steeped in negativity which goes far beyond constructive criticism. As a writer, I absolutely hate it when my work is analyzed. I am telling a story, hopefully compelling and engaging. I am successful if a reader becomes lost in the world which I have created. Analysis is an insult to an artist, so stop it!!!

[wyldeotse]

@SqvirlGirl ...I'm on Canada West Coast, born Latvia during war. feast of dragons blog

[radufefceac]

I like this guys, but i also agree with you.

Just for curiosity, what do you think about Apocalyptica?

[DoctorLexus]

Apocalyptica: Certainly more skilled than these jokers, but still grossly overrated.

The lamentable truth: Over the past 50 years or so (and especially over the past 20 years) commerciali$m has transformed "Western Culture" into a giant pile of shallow, pseudo-intellectual, least-common-denominator-orien­ted dog crap...a beauty contest...connections contest...marketing contest...money contest...but it surely isn't a talent contest anymore.

Ha ha ha! (It's funny because it's true!)

[dorano103]

may i ask why you call them jokers? no rudeness or arguing wanted. i think their cello playing is beautiful. have you seen their other videos at all? just wondered :)

[toonopdebeeck]

Melo-M !!!!!!

[Appledude500]

[anehtannyl]

Ditto. I've played violin for 11 years, and I'm good, but not as good as them XD I'm perfecting violin, guitar, and piano XD

[Emotoadandfish]

OMG

I want this song so bad so I can play it

[pervlo]

This version is really good, the trumpets remind me of Sopor Aeternus Ö

[OneOfSand]

And russian elephants are largest elephants in the world. XD

[btdown]

These dudes need haircuts

[angelocaduto13]

the song is called "Dorogoi Dlinnoyu" it was originally a russian folk song. it was then later revised in 1968 by mary hopkin into the song "those were the days". melo m transcribed their version from the later of the two. its on their album.

as for everyone arguing....chill the fuck out.

[morteriuss]

Actually it is a cover version of Līvi song Dzimtā valoda, wich is about mother tongue as mentioned, an was writen as a dissident song in the dying years of the USSR

[nalightning22]

so, is this song on their album?

[SmerchySmerch]

You can't be more wrong. It's "Dzimta valoda" from latvian band "Līvi". You can find it related videos

[nalightning22]

what is this song about? is this an anthem of some sort??? its absolutely beautiful, i was looking through the album that they released is it in the album??

[KocaneL]

it is about native language

[mikijustascute]

100% pure music absulotly wonderful

[Jeffeiswak]

Absolutely beautiful music.

[1stgo1]

i love this music!!!

im from Mongolia

[Prometey777]

For me - Russian, it too very pleasant melody. Very much! Live in peace, people.

[Prometey777]

И на русском. Это классная мелодия. Я только сегодня открыл для себя melo-m. И они замечательны! Дико класно! Мечтаю когда-нибудь научиться так же. Я из USSR, но пусть плюнет мне в лицо тот, кому Я сделал плохо... А музыка классная!)

[pertusamiins]

For us - Latvians this song means much! I and this song are in similar age ( I'm 18, this song - more). And everytime i hear this song, it remainds me about Latvian's spitefulness and patriotism against USSR!

[neticigaistoms]

This is the original

watch?v=EHgMwM1xJz4

The song is about native language, about how hard times was in soviet era, how we where great outnumbered in Latvia by russians. It is made in time when USSR collapsed...

[TheFiddler79]

@neticigaistoms Tas bija ( atvaine par manu valodu) agrak - kad Gorbatchov teici: "Glasnost' ". We were dancing with this music in 1986. Полуэстонец из Казахстана.

[TheFiddler79]

На грани сюрреализма. Помню эту песню. Довольно добротно и неожиданно.

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

melo m r in my top 10 favourites, cos they are without a doubt, amazing :D

[TheXtremeEnthusiast]

[sadgrlwatchit]

[SporkieChan]

Yesyesyes, I agree. They're so amazing!

[joute12]

Ausgezeichnetes Stück.

Schade ist nur ein Wenig, dass nur der erster Album richtug gut ist. Nachfolger sind nicht mehr so toll - scheinbar ist der erste so gut gegangen, dass die Jungs angefangen haben alles mögliche herauszubringen.

[julianprofeta]

[labuapetiti]

Hey, it`s not "Still loving you" from Scorpions! This is quite old latvian song called "Dzimta valoda" from our national rock legends "Livi"!!!!!!

[u1zha]

Yeah, but some riffs are very reminiscent, I sometimes confuse them humming :) It's believed to be plagiarized, "Still Loving You" is 2 years older. Anyway

[araraaa06]

lol this is not sill loving you, NEVER

[stabins]
