Your favorite music

POD - Alive!

Korn - Mr.Rogers!

Ever since I can remember I listened to music I hear in movies, TV shows or video games. That is how I pick my music.

I listened to metal in high school but I greatly diversified since then. Every genre out there has several songs I like. Lately I've been dabbling with J-pop.

But this here is my favorite song ever. Ashes by Embrace. It is from TV show Veronica Mars:



Also, watch Veronica Mars, it's awesome!!!  

Serbian song about Russia, with subtitles if you turn them on Enjoy xD

Kipelov - Unconquered (official video)


and my quick translation

Sky of Baltic is pressing by lead , blocade is holding town by the throat
Bronze Horseman and Angel with cross are delivering shells to the battalions
Stoned lions are jumping from their places to rising for attack with solders
Brutal revenge of rebellious. Offensive. The collapse of darkness!

Unconquered! Passed througth the hell
Unconquered!  Hero city- Leningrad
Unconquered!- to the all times  
Unconquered!  Peter's city

Life is writing dates of death by weak children's hand on the shroud of snow
What's will happend with you ? Can you able to stay as human?
Don't give up and don't loud cry ,killing for bread crumbs
Can you able to keep light of hope under german bombings

Blackness, fragile ice of Ladoga, kids leaving in the water
Metronome will chime mournful count of all fallen in years of blockade
The nerves of the city - to the heart of earth , to find force and revive at string
Bronze Horseman is flying to the victory by bird beyond the oblivion

Needa share this.

Can you believe this was actually RELEASED as an album in 1968? Sounds like 5 years old kids playing three different songs at the same time. If it was just three girls with no talent trying to make music, it would be comical - but their story has an element of tragedy.

Man, that is weird! Thanks for sharing!

Русија

Од далеког истока до хладнога севера,
Протеже се моја друга матер земља!
Где зима све живо уједа ...
Тамо је једна, највећа!
Русија!

Где хоризонти немају краја,
Где снег вечно влада!
Где се сламају сви мачеви и копља,
Моја друга матер земља ...
Русија!

Као рођене увек нас примала,
Збегове Србског рода у њедрима чувала!
Далеки плави круг и у њему звезда ...
Моја друга матер земља ...
Русија!

Россия

От Дальнего Востока до холодного севера
Раскинулась моя вторая родная земля!
Там, где зима съедает все живое...
Там она, самая большая!
Россия!

Там, где у горизонта нет конца,
Где вечно правит снег.
Где ломаются все мечи и копья,
Моя вторая родная земля.
Россия!

Всегда она принимала нас как родных,
У груди хранила сербских беженцев.
Далекий синий круг и в нем звезда....
Моя вторая родная земля...
Россия!

Band's name: Wolf's Hunger
Country: Serbia

My...translation of a sort:

Russia

From the Far east to the cold North
there my second Motherland lays
where winter bites everything
there is the one and biggest
Russia!

Where horizons do not have end
where snow is eternal
where all swords and spears get broken
my second Motherland
Russia!

As their own always took us
Serbian refuges always embraced
far away blue circle with star in it
my second Motherland
Russia!

This is for yesterday 7 May, the day of Điện Biên Phủ victory



Note: I tried once to translate the lyrics into English, but my English translation is very clumsy and funny, so I strongly suggest you listen to the music to catch the theme and the spirit of the song, and use GG trans instead.

Vietnamese lyrics:

Giải phóng Điện Biên bộ đội ta tiến quân trở về giữa mùa này hoa nở miền Tây Bắc tưng bừng vui
Bản mường xưa nương lúa mới trồng kìa đàn em bé giữa đồng nắm tay xòe hoa
Dọc đường chiến thắng ta tiến về đoàn dân công tiền tuyến vẫy chào pháo binh vượt qua
Súng đại bác quấn lá ngụy trang từng đàn bươm bướm trắng rỡn lá ngụy trang
Xiết bao sướng vui từ ngày lên Tây Bắc đồng bào nao nức mong đón ta trở về
Giờ chiến thắng ta đã về vui mừng đón chúng ta tiến về
Núi sông bừng lên
Đất nước ta sáng ngời cánh đồng Điện Biên cờ chiến thắng tưng bừng trên trời

Giải phóng miền Tây bộ đội ta đã mau trưởng thành thắng trận Điện Biên Phủ càng tin quyết tâm ở trên
Đổ mồ hôi phá núi bắc cầu vượt rừng qua suối đắp đường thắng lợi về đây
Phương châm đánh chắc ta tiến lên lực lượng như bão táp quân thù mấy cũng phải tan
Vang lừng tiếng súng khi mừng công thỏa lòng ta dâng Bác bấy lâu chờ mong
Xiết bao sướng vui nhìn đồng quê phơi phới nông dân hăng hái khi chúng ta trở về
Ruộng đất chúng ta đã về vui mừng đón chúng ta tiến về
Chiến sĩ Điện Biên
Thế giới đang đón mừng chiến dịch đại thắng lợi góp sức xây dựng hòa bình

Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Cranes (english subtitles)

Thanks very interesting.

Are there songs made by solders about war or maybe made by local singers and become popular?

Kriva wrote:Ooooooh Vivaldi and his four Seasons

That's a good choice.

Yes, the first sounds I remember ever since I was a kid (actually my parents was playing it before I was born).

My other favorite!
Apparently Israel got the tune and made Hatikva as their anthem. Superb music by Smetana.
Here's a historical performance, before Czechoslovakia dissolved:



and then my other fav is Bartholdy

Many. As far as I know, you can say most of the authors' profession are both musician and soldier. They were educated (by family) as future musician, but then they participate in the Patriotic War as soldier, and they continued to compose music while serving in the battlefield.

My uncle played on guitare and trumpet.
God mother used to play on flute.

And me ? I'm musicaly deaf but still love to listen to classical music. My first touch with classical music was a Chaikovsky's CD which I used to play while hoovering the house every Suturday

At the moment I'm at work but will listen to Ma Vlast and Felix Mendelsson later on.

Thanks for good tips

Mine are just music fanatics, think my mon did piano younger, but they put on classical and operas mostly. I remember when they got their first CD player in the 80s and packed shelf with tons of the three tenors and crazy stuff like Soviet CDs by Melodya company, Mussorgsky, Tsaikovsky, etc. Still keep them in the house, and still working


My recent present to my folks for their anniversary was 2 tickets to Bolshoi for Sleeping beauty. They loved it.

My young interests were concentrated on making instruments, like crossbows, arrows and play war in the neighborhood.  
I wasn't into music more than listening

I discovered the music of Alfred Schnittke two years ago while watching the closing ceremony of Winter Olympics in Sochi. So far, out of what little I have listened of his creations, here's my absolute favorite:

Found this:
