Thank you for sharing Siberia!
We were learning the song "Катюша" in my Russian class today. The teacher told us it is often sung during the Russian Victory Day celebrations. I was cheating a bit because my grandma used to sing this song when I was little so I still remembered some of the lyrics :)
Hope you had a really lovely day!!
I heard the original version of this song on the radio the other day but came across this cover. I really like the lyrics, especially the chorus which I find myself humming when I get up in the morning these days.
Wake up kids
We've got the dreamer's disease
Age 14
We got you down on your knees
So polite,
We're busy still saying please
Frienemies,
Who when you're down ain't your friend
Every night
We smash their Mercedes-Benz
First we run
And then we laugh 'til we cry
[Pre-chorus:]
But when the night is falling
You cannot find the light, light
You feel your dreams are dying
Hold tight
[Chorus:]
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
I'm comin' home baby
You're tops, give it to me now
Four A.M. we ran a miracle mile
We're flat broke but hey we do it in style
The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial
[Pre-chorus:]
But when the night is falling
You cannot find your friend (friend)
You feel your tree is breaking
Just bend
[Chorus]
This whole damn world can fall apart
You'll be OK, follow your heart
You're in harm's way, I'm right behind
Now say you're mine
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Don't let go
I feel the music in you
Fly high
What's real can't die
You only get what you give
You're gonna get what you give
(don't give up)
Just don't be afraid to live
Health insurance rip off lying
FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson,
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around
We'll kick your ass in!
Don't let go
One dance left

Lamb - Wise Enough
I had a dream that all of time was running dry
and life was like a comet falling from the sky
I woke so frightened in the dawning, oh so clear
How precious is the time we have here
Are we not wise enough to give all we are?
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
The human kind gets so lost in finding its way
but we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day
And you might pray to God, or say it's Destiny
But I think we are just hiding all that we can be
Are we not wise enough to give all we are?
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
The human kind gets so lost in finding its way
but we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day
All I'm really asking is: what are we doing here?
Are we just killing time? Just living year to year?
In this big world, no one else can play our part
Ain't it time to just wake up and give it all
Are we not wise enough to give all we are?
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
The human kind gets so lost, and in finding its way
we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day
we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day
we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance
Cities full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise
The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred halls of truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth
Can't we find
The minds that made us strong?
Oh can't we learn
To feel what's right and what's wrong? What's wrong
Cities full of hatred
Fear and lies
Withered hearts
And cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons
Dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude
And scoffing at the wise
Whoa can't we raise our eyes
And make a start?
Can't we find the minds
To lead us closer to the heart?

There seems to be a dearth of songs from musicals on this thread :). Here's a couple from 2 exemplary singers - George MacCrae and Dorris Day - who epitomise the genre. No 'deep' lyrics involved just 2 performers singing at the top of their art, for the love of it, osit.
