I liked that Fibra-song.

I prefer this one to the one you had linked before. I feel like it's more attractive to ears for some reason

Boring sh*t

I turn on the TV, and there it is again,
It is looking at me as if nothing happened.
The heroine has saved the entire world alone
And not the least bit tired.
Ad units are playfully jumping,
Taking movies apart.
All lovers are together, all bad guys croaked (died )
Here it is, boring sh*t...
Boring sh*t...

I turn on the radio, but then again it.
It is singing, as if nothing happened
By different tunes, but all as one,
The new songs and a lot of old ones.
That's a sad theme to a sad tune,
Listener from Nizhniy Novgorod calls,
Ask to say hello to all his friends\relatives
And he ask to play this track- boring sh*t...
Boring sh*t...

New Russsian writer, new Russian novel
The huge editions.
That's "Russian Ken Kesey", he's that guy who wrote
Russian "Catcher in the Rye".
Atracted by advertising, I bought the book
Just like that, for no reason.
I open it, leaf through, read, understand that
Here it is, boring sh*t...
Boring sh*t...

I posted this song to the Internet
And came to see how it is...
I am reading the first comment:
Hmmm....

I feel like this one only lacks a sang chorus to be truly great. The instrumental alone is worth a listen though.



Here's a song that's really popular in Italy at the moment. It's sang in French by a Congolese artist and it's just overtaken Adele's Hello for first place on iTunes. It's a great mix of electronic, R&B and African sounds.

Maitre Gims - Est ce que tu m'aimes?


https://youtu.be/6TpyRE_juyA

Given that i really liked the first one, i have gone on the hunt on Youtube to search a few other ones from him and i found a few other ones that were up to my taste such as:

Stromae feat Maitre Gims and Orelsan - Allez Vous Faire!


https://youtu.be/jm1ZUVof7l0

Whether the one is a love song, this one is a big **** off to austerity and politics as a whole. Given that the song has been published in 2013 (on Stromae's Racine Carrèe, another artists whose works are worth a listen) it's really fitting.

No such thing as Nazi Punks over here. We had a nice answer to that!

Yup, I remember you telling that you were in the antifa-squads in your youth. We don't have a history of that, but luckily the extreme right has been very weak since the 30's. I won't bother giving any examples, so a change of genre then.

IMO one of the greatest Finnish composers ever.

Yes, it's a good serious song.

btw best fun song writes is Semen Slepakov (with the translation!):

Lyuba, the star of YouTube

https://youtu.be/3Qtg8bPgEww

Lyuba, the star of YouTube

Once upon a corporate New Years party
Of the LTD CubanPromBuild
Young accountant Lyuba, Lyuba Ivanova
Mixed together cognac with the beer.

To support the deal, glass of pure tequila
Lyuba gulped and dropped it on the floor.
After glass got broken, Lyuba tried smoking
Something that she never smoked before.

Lyuba acted hearty all over the party,
All over the chairs, tables, all over the globe...
When next song was started, she got to the lap top
Of her boss, and took his glasses off.

Later with banana dancing on piano,
Showing that it’s actually sweet, but not a fruit,
And that DJ’s neck can loudly be cracking
If his music won’t match her mood.

She took out breasts and put them into salsa,
Asking every single man around to lick it out,
Ending in the bar by peeing in Campari,
Where she finally got tied down.

Lyuba had a feeling that on corporate meeting
Every men for love with her was born,
But she didn't know that her friend Petrova
Filmed all the party on her phone.

Lyuba, you are now star of the YouTube!
Friends are snakes, but camera never lies.
Lyuba, you are now star of the YouTube!
In January watched five Million times!

Lyuba moved to tundra, over Polar Circle.
Canned food and skiing to the bathroom outside,
Where is snow and cold, and nobody knows her,
In the lovely Pre-computer times.

Lyuba’s life was setting, but miracles can happen.
From the icy desert someone suddenly appeared.
Boris had a problem, and she was the only
Person who could fully understand.

When some day that hansom dick got stuck in fence, and
Firefighters, ambulance, police were coming on,
They made him a favor, but some nosy neighbor
Got all the procedure on iPhone…

Boris and Lyuba — stars of the YouTube, and
Their broken lives got back in whole,
Lyuba and Boris being so honest,
Honeymoon were spending on North Pole!

lyuba-zvezda Youtuba lyrics - English translation


The Happiest Day

The Happiest Day

What a beautiful sunny day now!
Together we – you and I –
We go, no – we fly
To the office of registrations.
The birds sing songs in the skies,
The joy shines in our eyes,
And we want all over the street
To sing, to smile and to dance!

Divorce! We’re going to divorce!
Divorce! And happiness returns.
You were saying that I don’t deserve you,
And now you should be glad: you’re getting divorce.

Divorce! Goodbye, sluggish sex once a year.
Divorce! Will be no more sober weekends.
You called me a "pathetic worthless freak"
You’re getting divorce, and I’m getting freed.

We’ll live the way we want,
Let life to be full of pleasures.
I will live alone,
And you will live alone... with two kids.
Let each of us
Find the way to be happy... well, you’re forty;
Life gave us a chance —
Thanks to you, divorce!

Ho-Hey!

Hello, all the strippers,
Hello, all the prostitutes,
We will no longer be
Strangers to one another!
Hi, my fishermen friends!
I am free again,
My car has a sign:
“Just Divorced!”

... Maybe we’ll not rush
And start all over?
We still are one family,
We went through all that.
A good husband should
Be able to give up to...
Jeez, what nonsense
Sneaks into my head!

Divorce! Of course, divorce!
Divorce is the only right move!
So many people thought so,
So did Reagan and Putin.
So people shouldn't condemn me –
Not Russian people,
Not Latvian people –
When I choose – divorce!

Thank you!

Thanks . Yes, he is still quite young. I think his music will be more interesting with time. But I hope he does not get away from acoustic songs - it has particular charm.

His voice seems tailormade for acoustic songs but it's the instrumental who contribute to making it better. I still feel that even this song lacks a proper chorus with a slight change of rhytm but it's still a decent song


Speaking of fun music. This is La Prima Repubblica, a single released by a comician called Checco Zalone. He holds the record of the highest earnings at Italy's box offices (€52m) with his last film, Sole A Catinelle, but his newest film (which includes this song) has already earned €22m in three days:



https://youtu.be/SM4xIJ2VK5I

In this song he tries to copy the style of a well known Italian musician called Adriano Celentano. The song itself speaks of the era between the end of WW2 and the 90s where all kind of benefits were gifted to people who didn't deserve it. This led to the growth of public debt but he jokes around the ridiculousness of what used to happen


Next one is a mix of classical music and rap. I would love to see more artists to try to search this mix but it's unlikely because fot he differences between them, although they really mesh well together

Komminuet - Remix of Aria sulla Quarta Corda
