    He is Georgian and his real name is Григорий Викторович Лепсверидзе He is a quite known singer of pop-chanson with a good vocal and not so good repertoire. Real Russian chanson songs among other things must have a unified plot going throughout the whole song and presenting a consistent story, but in the song we can hear only a flow of disjointed verses. It is not even clear if the protagonist is going to London or not in the long run. Maybe a person who composed the lyrics was reading Faulkner or was boozy at the moment, though. Who knows.
    ---------------------------------------------
    В голове столько мыслей, кому их рассказать?
    Да и я здесь один - лучше их записать.
    Нужно продолжать двигаться, а не бежать
    От себя не убежишь, в 30 это надо знать

    Ты можешь поменять страну и континент
    Ты можешь сорвать куш и упустить момент жить
    Будто бы границ нет
    Уходя, после себя оставить след

    Меня уносит с собой ветер перемен
    Мимо крыш домов, мимо Кремлевских стен
    И я парю над городом как супермен
    Покидая его душный плен.

    Еще один раз, здесь только я и ты
    Последний звонок и горят мосты.
    Из-под ног ушла земля
    Я давно отпустил, но я все еще люблю тебя

    Пришел момент все в жизни поменять
    И новые вершины покорять
    Поверь, мне так трудно говорить
    Прощай...

    Я уеду жить в Лондон
    я уеду жить в Лондон
    Я уеду туда, где большая вода
    Может быть навсегда

    Я уеду жить в Лондон,
    Мне Москва будет сниться
    Но проблема одна: в направлении том
    Из Москвы никогда не идут поезда

    Я уеду жить в Лондон.

    Видно дым с балкона, пишу мемуары
    А по парку гуляют влюбленные пары.
    Я сейчас в эпицентре этой красоты
    Правда жизни такая: Сочиняй мечты.

    Ты можешь сбросить весь ненужный груз
    Очистить дом от мусора, включить джаз блюз
    Поменять свое сознание
    Направить весь поток энергии на созидание.

    Я научился летать оттолкнувшись от стен
    Мимо площади, пролетая Биг Бен.
    Я парю над городом как супермен
    Пожалуй здесь останусь, я попал в его плен.

    Так счастливы здесь могли быть я и ты
    Но время не ждет и горят мосты
    Где бы не был на земле,
    Я давно отпустил, но я скучаю по тебе

    Пришел момент все в жизни поменять
    И новые вершины покорять
    Поверь, мне так трудно говорить
    Прощай...

    Я уеду жить в Лондон
    я уеду жить в Лондон
    Я уеду туда, где большая вода
    Может быть навсегда

    Я уеду жить в Лондон,
    Мне Москва будет сниться
    Но проблема одна: в направлении том
    Из Москвы никогда не идут поезда

    Я уеду жить в Лондон.

    И сколько не пришлось бы заплатить
    Чтоб только рядом с королевой жить - неважно
    Чтоб географию свою сменить
    Я буду, наконец, как лорды жить - вальяжно

    Да нафига этот Лондон?
    Значит, нужно остаться
    Начиная с нуля получив реверанс
    Сам себе даю шанс.

    Нафига этот Лондон?
    Да кому я там нужен?
    Появлюсь дней на пять, погрущу и опять
    На Москву, твою мать

    Я уеду жить в Лондон
    я уеду жить в Лондон
    Я уеду туда, где большая вода
    Может быть навсегда

    Я уеду жить в Лондон,
    Мне Москва будет сниться
    Но проблема одна: в направлении том
    Из Москвы никогда не идут поезда

    "SexyBack"
    [Verse 1]
    I’m bringing sexy back
    Them other boys don’t know how to act
    I think you're special, what's behind your back?
    So turn around and I'll pick up the slack.

    Take 'em to the bridge

    [Bridge]
    Dirty babe
    You see these shackles
    Baby I’m your slave
    I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave
    It’s just that no one makes me feel this way

    Take 'em to the chorus

    [Chorus]
    Come here girl
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    Come to the back
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    VIP
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    Drinks on me
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    Let me see what you’re torquing with
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    Look at those hips
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    You make me smile
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    Go ahead child
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    And get your sexy on
    Go ahead, be gone with it

    Get your sexy on
    Go ahead, be gone with it
    [Repeat 6 times]

    Get your sexy on

    [Verse 2]
    I’m bringing sexy back
    Them other fuckers don’t know how to act
    Come let me make up for the things you lack
    'Cause you're burning up I gotta get it fast

    Take 'em to the bridge

    [Bridge]

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 3]
    I’m bringing sexy back
    You mother fuckers watch how I attack
    If that’s your girl you better watch your back
    Cause she’ll burn it up for me and that’s a fact

    Take 'em to the chorus

    [Chorus]

    The Police - Message in a Bottle


    (Sting)
    Just a castaway
    An island lost at sea
    Another lonely day
    With no one here but me
    More loneliness
    Than any man could bear
    Rescue me before I fall into despair

    I'll send an SOS to the world
    I'll send an SOS to the world
    I hope that someone gets my
    I hope that someone gets my
    I hope that someone gets my
    Message in a bottle
    Message in a bottle

    A year has passed since I wrote my note
    But I should have known this right from the start
    Only hope can keep me together
    Love can mend your life
    But love can break your heart
    [ Lyrics from: Message In Bottle Lyrics - Police ]

    I'll send an SOS to the world
    I'll send an SOS to the world
    I hope that someone gets my
    I hope that someone gets my
    I hope that someone gets my
    Message in a bottle
    Message in a bottle
    Oh, message in a bottle
    Message in a bottle

    Walked out this morning
    Don't believe what I saw
    A hundred billion bottles
    Washed up on the shore
    Seems I'm not alone at being alone
    A hundred billion casatways
    Looking for a home

    I'll send an SOS to the world
    I'll send an SOS to the world
    I hope that someone gets my
    I hope that someone gets my
    I hope that someone gets my
    Message in a bottle
    Message in a bottle
    Message in a bottle
    Message in a bottle

    Sending out an SOS(24x)

    I'm a little late with this one... it came out on Friday and now has the record for being the fastest single to reach #1 on iTunes, in 10 hours!!
    Adele, with the new theme song for 007, James Bond, Skyfall. Lyrics in the video.

    If you like the classic old-time "spy music" -

    Some of my favorites! I can't claim they are cutting edge, and some of them are actually pretty old, but I like the type of sound they have.

    *going back to lurking*



    Some others:

    David Bowie/Pat Metheny - This Is Not America (Promo Clip) - YouTube

    Dire Straits - Private Investigations + lyrics - YouTube

    Mission Impossible Theme Music (Remix) - YouTube

    "NO GOVERNMENT " (NICOLETTE) official video - YouTube
    Вот потому, что вы говорите то, что не думаете, и думаете то, что не думаете, вот в клетках и сидите. И вообще, весь этот горький катаклизм, который я здесь наблюдаю, и Владимир Николаевич тоже…

    So I found this song on the UK charts last week and it has an interesting backstory. It is the song used in a Christmas TV commercial or as the UK call it advertisement or advert, for a store called John Lewis. Within a few days the song became number 1 on iTunes! It is by a relativity unknown 20 year old singer, Gabrielle Aplin, who doesn't even have an album out yet.

    Here is the advert which is very touching:




    Here is a link to the entire song with lyrics: The Power of Love:

    Except, it's not her song. It's by Frankie Goes To Hollywood who probably got a good payoff for allowing their song to be used in a commercial. Might be decent PR when you've been out of the game for a while. Then again, many artists sell the rights to their songs and then are paid or are unlucky and don't get anything if they signed a bad contract.

    Just to clarify, she is indeed singing the song. She made a "cover" of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood song and the payoff might not be as big as you think. Using a song for commercial purposes (and Internet too) isn't that big of a payoff and the artist doesn't always get the money depending upon how the contract was written and it would go to the people credited with writing the song, Peter Gill, Holly Johnson & Mark O'Toole.

    However, they hopefully are enjoying a nice little bump and people will get to know their music once again.

    Is English your native language? You don't have to clarify anything. I never said she wasn't singing. Read it again.

    I couldn't find the video on Youtube, I have just the link. I hope you like it.
    2raumwohnung - An Einem Sonnigen Tag

    And one old song, still one of my favourites



    I've been here all the time
    as far as i know doing right
    i've always waited for the moment
    that you would come through my door
    but this brought loneliness so far
    i lay my hand onto my heart
    is this the life i want to live
    is this the dream i had of you

    but this brought loneliness so far
    i lay my hand onto my heart
    is this the life i want to live
    is this the dream i had of you
    the dream i had of you

    the dream i had of you
