Russian Songs Love: Nautilus Pompilius: Wings

[alexandral]

I love this song so much - I never get tired of it. I have completely forgotten that it was a rare song by Nautilus that had a very good video clip. Youtube is great - I found something I forgot long time ago and it is like the whole late 80s - beginning of 90s are flooding back. So much happened, my generation has been living through the "May You

I am so glad you like this song! It is interesting that I have been playing some of my old favourites for Sasha recently and she loves them all, and almost always choses the ones I like the most too.

Sadly because "Nautilus" were part of underground movement not many of their songs are made into video clips. But few are, I like this one too ("Walks on Water"), it is so "Master and Margarita".

Oooooohhh... that's one of my top favourites. I also do love other their songs, like "Одинокая птица", but this one is something special....

I am so insanely happy that younger people like you like their songs. Fantastic!

I haven't had a chance to listen to the song yet, but the lyrics are beautiful and intriguing. Also, I adore your icon.

I am so glad you are interested!!

I love this icon - it is made by calculare from her own art. There are some more lovely ones here:

I am so glad you liked!!

My favourite Russian song is-- well, was-- 'Ochi Chyornye' because my mother's Jewish name is Charnya. I only recently learnt that the song isn't really Russian at all!

I know! I love you mothers name, though

Было время, когда я кассеты "Наутилуса" до дыр заслушивала. В смысле, до зажёвывания плёнки. ) "Крылья", "Скованные одной цепью" (увы, она и сейчас не менее актуальна), "Синоптики"... и да, "Прогулки по воде" - действительно "булгаковская". Спасибо за ностальгический пост! :)

me too! I went to their concert three times, the first one I remember especially - it was in 1989 and they all were so young and gorgeous.

На днях Бутусов обещает быть в нашем городе с сольной программой. Не young, не столь уже gorgeous, да и репертуар попсоват. Не пойду. :(

Nautilus was never the same after 90s, for some reason, nothing to see anymore. But the legend lives - I remember Slava just like in the clip below. White face, pseudo-army jacket, live music and singing - gosh, these were good days. 20 years ago..

"Goodbye, America!" is my personal absolute favourite of theirs:
