Could you please tell me what is "surple"? :) To me, it looks like he just made it up just for the fun of it.
And, if it's not too much trouble, could you check a couple of words in "Is This All There Is?"
At the beginning:
"I'll never forget the look" - "I'll" or "I"?
"raced through the burning building out to the pavement"
What I hear is "out of", but it is unlikely what it is. "out on(to)" maybe?
At the end: "breathing my last breath" - is it "breaths"?
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I love old good metal but my daughter is 9 and she loves cutting edge. Her favorite band is Ranetki.
Ранетки - Лети-лети
Нет пустых эмоций,
Значит нет простых побед.
Ты ничего не бойся,
И не всегда, да - это нет!
Припев:
Лети за мной, лети,
И ты узнаеш, как люблю тебя.
Лети за мной, лети,
И ты узнаеш - я люблю тебя!
Лети, лети, лети,
Лети, лети, лети,
Лети, лети, лети...
Мы разбиваем стены взглядом,
Не снаружи, а внутри!
Мне больше ничего не надо,
Не молчи, не говори!
Припев:(2 раза)
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Elearner, ekaterinak & Gerorge - I’ve had a hard day and will try to answer your questions tomorrow…
While semi-watching TV today, twice I saw a commercial for “Fruit of the Loom” and it had a very odd resemblance to Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues video. I tried to find the commercial online, but it is not up yet... even on their Web site.
For those of you who have never heard or seen Subterranean Homesick Blues, this song and the video for it, were first released in 1965 (Actually, it was long before video. It was still film back then and it is in black and white.). Bob is there on the street holding up “cue cards” with parts of the lyrics to the song on them.
This song has been covered by a number of different artists and used in commercials, TV shows and films. Once you have seen it, you will then find yourself seeing it in other things. Sort of like, once you learn a new word, you hear it or see it all over the place.
Here are links to the original, a cover, a copy of the format, and a FANTASTIC spoof by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3QYNsxYzhs Red Hot Chili Pepper’s live version of song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFUEgFdP5zE INXS – Mediate (this is a copy cat version of the video format, with INXS singing their own song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nej4xJe4Tdg Weird Al’s version (this is a great spoof as Al does it with all palindromes!)
Track # 43
Song: Subterranean Homesick Blues
Artist: Bob Dylan
Album: Bringing It All Back Home
Composer: Bob Dylan
Year: 1965
Lyrics:
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early may
Orders from the d. a.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "no doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'cause the vandals took the handles
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I have remembered about this team. They are called "Plazma" and they sing in English. When they had appeared with "Take my love" song, most of Russian people were thinking that they are from somewhere USA or Western Europe. This song was very popular in Russia and I have understood why. :) :angel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWmw84esR3s
Take my love
by Plazma
Everybody saya you`re not the one
Everybody says I lost my way
Baby? maybe I`m doing wrong
Don`t care! I feel OK
Everybody says I lost my head
But I never wanna turn my way
Everybody says you drive me mad
Don`t care? cause it`s too late
No matter when I`m with you
I do what you want me to
You know I never will go
You drive me wild with your charms
You hold me tight in your arms
Girl, you tease me I know
And you make my love grow
Do you want me on my knees?
Take my love never dying
Take my love never ending
Take my love never dying
Give me yours
Take my love never dying
Take my love and hear me crying
Take my love, take my love
You are the queen of my heart
Your`re tearing me all apart
No I never will go
You wonder it I love you
I always say 'yes I do'
Girl you tease me I know
And you make my love grow
Do you want me on my knees?
Take my love never dying
Take my love never ending
Take my love never dying
Give me yours
Take my love never dying
Take my love and hear me crying
Take my love, take my love
Don`t leave me alone —
But you`ve got a heart of stone
Prove me wrong
Take my love never dying
Take my love never ending
Take my love never dying
Give me yours
Take my love never dying
Take my love and hear me crying
Take my love, take my love
Take my love never dying
Take my love never ending
Take my love never dying
Give me yours
Take my love never dying
Take my love and hear me crying
Take my love, take my love
Hear me crying...

You are correct, "surple" is a made up word to rhyme with purple. The correct word would be syrup.

I have listened to this a number of times and even with my headset on and I am having difficulties figuring out exactly the differences between the written lyrics and what she might be saying/singing.
The last one I do hear clearly as "breath" the other ones, "I'll vs. "I" and "out of" vs. "out on," I really cannot be certain.
Is there anyone who wants to give an ear and help with this one? :pardon:

Валерия - Часики
Я вижу твою улыбку
Я помню свою ошибку
Но сердцу уже не важно
И я ошибаюсь дважды
Пусть сегодня ты со мною
Поиграешь в любовь
Девочкой своею ты меня назови
А потом обними, а потом обмани
А маленькие часики смеются тик-так
Ни о чем не жалей, и люби просто так
Девочкой своею ты меня назови
А потом обними, а потом обмани
А маленькие часики смеются тик-так
Ни о чем не жалей, и люби просто так
Тик-так...
За окнами дождик плачет
Я выпью за неудачу
И станет совсем неважно
Что я ошибаюсь дважды
Пусть сегодня ты со мною
Поиграешь в любовь
Девочкой своею ты меня назови
А потом обними, а потом обмани
А маленькие часики смеются тик-так
Ни о чем не жалей, и люби просто так
Девочкой своею ты меня назови
А потом обними, а потом обмани
А маленькие часики смеются тик-так
Ни о чем не жалей, и люби просто так
Тик-так...
Ни о чем не жалей
Тик-так...
И люби просто так
Девочкой своею ты меня назови
А потом обними, а потом обмани
А маленькие часики смеются тик-так
Ни о чем не жалей, и люби просто так
Девочкой своею ты меня назови
А потом обними, а потом обмани
А маленькие часики смеются тик-так
Ни о чем не жалей, и люби просто так

ekaterinak, just so you know, a number of the lyrics to Coldplay songs are actually posted on the official Coldplay Website under their Discography page. Find the album that the song came from and then click on the Lyrics tab. A popup box will show all the lyrics they have posted for that album and hopefully the song you are looking for will be there! Clocks was there and that was how I obtained your lyrics, so I know they are the correct words!!! :wink:
Track # 44
Song: Clocks (Live)
Artist: Coldplay
Album: LeftRightLeftRightLeft
Composer: Chris Martin/Guy Berryman/Jon Buckland/Will Champion
Year: 2009
Lyrics:
The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing
You are
You are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know, singing
Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singing
You are, you are, you are
You are, you are, you are
And nothing else compares
Oh nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are
You are
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go

Since we are back in the 60’s
I'm afraid I'm going to drag us back even further. :)
Actually, I prefer more modern (70's? I don't really know), "pop" version of this song, but it doesn't seem to be available, so here we are.
[video:wwwd61yq]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIfu2A0ezq0[/video:wwwd61yq]
Sixteen Tons
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I need the English (or at least the translit) to be able to upload the file as program does not accept Russian characters. I can change the title once it is upladed, I just can't have it in the title for the upload.
I have uploaded these to the MR Playlist:
Track # 45
Song: Leti-Leti (Лети-лети) – Fly-Fly (in Russian)
Artist: Ranetki Girls (РАНЕТКИ)
Album: Now is our Time (Пришло наше время)
Composer:
Year: 2009
Track # 46
Song: Take My Love
Artist: Plazma (Russian duo)
Album: Take My Love
Composer:
Year: 2000
(footnote about this song... The start of this song sounds as if it is really bad quality; however, it is actually the way the song is. I obtained the MP3 directly from Plazma's Website. It reminds me of another song and I will post it in a seperate posting.)
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
So, I mentioned that the opening of "Take My Love" reminded me of another song...
I am certain that Studyr knows all about this next artist, Robert Plant. For those of you not into Heavy Metal or just too young to know the name or maybe you think he is "just" a Country/Western Singer... here is your Rock history lesson for the day:
Robert Plant is one of the lead founders and was lead singer for the band Led Zeppelin. The band sold over an estimated 200 million albums worldwide. Led Zeppelin is ranked #1 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and in 2004, were ranked #14 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Now days, you might have heard of Robert Plant because he won 5 Grammy awards at the 2009 Grammys including Awards for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, Best Country Collaboration with Vocals, Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album, for of all things... a COUNTRY album Raising Sand, which surprised many long time hard core fans!
Back in 1990, Plant released a solo album titled "Manic Nirvana" which did fairly well on the charts with a single from it reaching number 1 on the mainstream charts. However, my favorite song from this album only made it to number 8. The thing that was unique about this song and the reason I bring it up now, is that Plant wanted the song to have the feel of an old scratchy record. So, he purposefully added into the background the scratch noise of what a record sounds like after it has been played one too many times. Many DJs did not want to play the song just because it did sound like that and they had recently gone away from actual records (they were now playing CDs). So, the song was actually boycotted and this hurt the record's airtime and its chances at being a major hit.
I love this song just because it does sound this way and I really like the rhythm and flavor of the song. I distinctly remember having this song on my portable cassette player and playing it over and over again while I would walk places when I lived in New York! It has that perfect beat for my stride.
One more piece of trivia about this song, Plant adds the opening lines from the Zeppelin song, "Black Dog," into this song "Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove."
I could not find a video for this song (I even checked Plant's Website), so you WILL have to listen to it on the MR Playlist to hear it! Without further ado, go listen to, Track # 47, “Your Ma Said You Cried in Your Sleep Last Night”
Track # 47
Song: Your Ma Said You Cried In Your Sleep Last Night
Artist: Robert Plant
Album: Manic Nirvana
Composer: B. Glazer/S. Schlaks
Year: 1990
Lyrics:
Your ma said you cried in your sleep last night
Your ma said you cried in your sleep last night
Should have seen the look in her eye
I had to tell her some little white lies
I know I haven't been so true to you
I know I haven't been so true to you
Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry no more
Ain't it gonna be the way it was before
Ooh, I love you, ooh, I love you
Let me kiss you, let me hold you tight
Ooh, I love you, ooh, I love you so much
My ma said I cried, my ma said I cried My ma said I cried
, my ma said I cried Your ma said you cried in your sleep last night
Oh yeah All the other guys got their eyes on you
All the other guys got their eyes on you
I'm comin' home, comin' home, comin' home for sure
Ain't it gonna be the way it was before
Ooh, I love you, ooh, I love you
Let me kiss you, let me hold you tight
Ooh, I love you, ooh, I love you Ooh,
I need you so much, and My ma said I cried,
my ma said I cried Your ma said I cried in your sleep last night
Said ah-hey hey mama said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove
'Cos I love you, mm I love you
Now, ah-ah-child said the way you swing
Gonna make you burn gonna make you sting
Ooh, 'cos I love, oh, 'cos I love you so much
And your ma said I cried, my ma said I cried
My ma said I cried in my sleep last night
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah Ah ah ah ah ah ah Na na na na na ....
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
Last night, here in the States, they had the end of the season 5 for "So You Think You Can Dance."
The girls and I started watching it mid season and we saw this dance when it first aired July 16th; yet, I did not realize until last night when they performed the dance again as one of the top dances of the season, that it was the song emeraldeyez had posted here on this thread back on July 22!
It is a completely different style than the one she posted!!! It is from the same album; however, it was a bonus track and is titled: "If It Kills Me (From The Casa Nova Sessions)" (let me know if you would like this version to also be added to the MR Playlist).
Please watch this lovely contemporary dance choreographed to Jason Mraz's "If It Kills Me."
This is the July 16 version of the dance:

Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
This song, "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" by Pitbull, has also been VERY popular. Just look at the number of hits on YouTube, 35+ million since March!! Not bad for REMIX! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2tMV96xULk
The dance routine on "So You Think You Can Dance" was amazingly HOT! It almost, made me enjoy the song! Lyrics to the song are below. If anyone wants the song added to the MR Playlist, speak up.

E-learner, I did two searches on Playlist
http://www.playlist.com/searchbeta/t...Sixteen%20Tons AND http://www.playlist.com/searchbeta/tracks#16%20Tons and found the below versions of 16 Tons. You should be able to click on links and listen to each of the songs. Let me know if you have any troubles and let me know if there is a version that you like! Happy listening :wink:
From 1st Search:
“Sixteen Tons” by Johnny Cash
“Sixteen Tons” by Stan Ridgway (a live version)
“Sixteen Tons” by Dave Dudley
“Sixteen Tons” by Johnnie Taylor (upbeat, with a Motown sound)
“Sixteen Tons” by Frank Zappa (instrumental only, but take a look at the Website it came from! http://www.playlist.com/searchbeta/results/660553489
“Sixteen Tons” by Rehab (this one is the farthest from the original version... It is Rap. There is about a minute of talking in the intro and then it starts. There is a great deal of cursing in it, so be warned.)
From 2nd Search
“16 TONS” by ISAAC GUILLORY
“16 TONS” by Main Street Saints (Heavy Metal version, not even certain I word call this a real version! Good for a laugh though :D )
“16 TONS” From: Joe Versus the Volcano soundtrack (Blues/Jazz Version, this is very nice if it did not have all the noise from the movie in it! I wonder if we can find a "clean" version of it?)
I also did a search on Amazon and here is the link to the results: http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=12497427...%20tons&page=1

Well, I liked the version by Johnny Cash, for example, and its style is close to the version I have mentioned. But that particular version is not there. In case you are really curious I've uploaded it here: http://www.onlinedisk.ru/file/194126/
I have no idea who the performer is (nor do I really care :)).
Re: Music: Cutting Edge and What You Are Listening To?
I haven't an inkling what 'cutting edge' might mean in reference to music, but seeing as how the collection so far is quite eclectic, here's my current fave: Slot. I found this Russian band when looking for Russian language music I like and for which the texts are also available. I like using music and lyrics when learning a language.
Here's a video of one song, with subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YD_vt9fOmg

Robin, as my daughters would say "that song is tight!" And your reason for finding it fits right in with why I started this thread. While I mostly likely will NEVER learn Russian, I do love music and I know everyone else on here is here to learn or improve another language.
Cutting edge..hmmm.. I would classify it as a group or artist that is just about to make it big (or have a comeback) or music that is about to be or is VERY hot right now. So when we were talking about "Kings of Leon" back in November, they had yet to make a name for themselves, now you can't listen to the radio for an hour without hearing one of their songs. So... back in Novemeber we here at MR were CUTTING EDGE! A number of the songs ekaterinak posts have just been released and could be cutting edge, only time will tell if they will become number one hits or not.
However, as you have noticed, we have a VERY ECLECTIC bunch of songs here which I think is fantastic! I would hate for my kids to only be exposed to the pop stuff from say, Disney Channel stars! So, if you have any other song you would like to share, please post them!
I have added Dead Stars as track number 50! Anyone interested in learning more about the group "Slot" here are links to their Wiki Page and their Website (in Russian only).
Track # 50

Текст / Lyrics:
Послушай
Остановись, пока не поздно
Я падаю вниз за тобой
Туда, где светят твои мёртвые звёзды,
Ослепляя солнце
Я сам себе придумал путь,
Расставил маяки
Иду по узкой пустыне
Один в толпе людской
И всё пытаюсь обмануть
Течение быстрой реки
Пока мой след не простынет,
Не ходи за мной
Остановись, пока не поздно
Я падаю вниз за тобой
Туда, где светят твои мёртвые звёзды,
Ослепляя солнце
пустотой
Я распугал давно друзей,
Но мой спокоен взгляд
Свободный волк-одиночка
К законам спиной
Мне надо сдать себя в музей
И жить там как экспонат
Всё, я сказал и точка -
Не ходи за мной
Остановись, пока не поздно
Я падаю вниз за тобой
Туда, где светят твои мёртвые звёзды,
Ослепляя солнце
пустотой
Послушай
Остановись, пока не поздно
Я падаю вниз за тобой
Туда, где светят твои мёртвые звёзды,
Ослепляя солнце
