Perhaps it's because I am/was a classically trained musician, but I have become aware that it is the music that draws me in, but not the words.
I am in my 50's and LOVE groups like Kiss, Metallica, Journey (one of the most under rated musical groups of my time) and many more.
But THIS GROUP?
They are on my bucket list to see them before I move on......
I know I won't get to see them live, but it is my dream! At this point? It's much more realistic than saving my country. But what I find odd is that I don't have a damn clue as to what the hell they are singing about! It's the music that drives me...
The girls are Ukranian, but they still sound Russian to me, just like Ukranians did back in the day. Without getting into that whole Ukranian pissing contest, I can sort of see why Putin has an urge to re-annex...
I decided against posting another of my favorites from them here - it's a bit "rough", in a pretty damned smooth kinda way. The name of it is "СИНЕЕ ПЛАТЬЕ" which means "Blue Dress" - I dunno why. I can't recall seeing a blue dress in it anywhere!
Yeah, the music IS pretty catchy, much to my surprise. I listen to it pretty often, and my wife just as often comments "why are you listening to that weird stuff?" - note: Rammstein falls into that category for her, too. I guess it has something to do with the foreign languages, which don't bother me at all, and my guess is she just doesn't notice the little spirals in my eyes...
In the interests of equal time, I'll tell the tale of how I found NikitA. One night, unable to sleep, I was cruising Youtube, as as often ahappens, Youtube went off on a tangent of it's own, leading me further astray with every link I clicked. I wound up finding a parody of ВЕРЕВКИ ("Verevki" = "Ropes"). Trying to find a higher resolution version of the parody (because I thought it was funny as hell - I'm not normal), I ran across the original, and the remainder of the NikitA playlist. The rest is history.
Here is the parody video I first stumbled across:
Watch the "censor blocks". the ones hiding the big guy's "man boobs" are constantly changing shape, and all of the white people have the expected black censor blocks, but the black guy - his is white.
