Viktor Tsoy always alive! 😇

Стихи шедевральные. "город стреляет в ночь дробью огней, но ночь сильней, её власть велика.." Эта фраза актуальна

Hello guys! Thank you so much for using my lyrics video, I'm very glad more and more people discover Viktor Tsoi and Kino's songs! They are barely known outside of the post-soviet countries and the eastern block, but make no mistake they carry some very heavy and contemplating meaning behind their songs, so let me tell you a little bit about Calm Night. Translating specific languages can sometimes be hard or difficult due to differnet word usage and wording, and the Russian-English combo is one of them. Спокойная can also be translated to peacful, but in this context calm is more fitting. Originally this song first appeared on their 4th album titled Ночь or Night which released in 1986, then in their most known 1988 album Gruppa Krovi, or Blood Type and the version you listened to is the 3rd and last version that was in their only compilation album that got released abroad in France in 1989. The song, like any other song and literary work has a denotative and a connotative meaning. When taken literally, the song is describing an eerily peacful and quiet night, where some people gather to head out somewhere, while others are disturbed in their sleeps. Very aesthetic, but it's missing half of it's value, the meaning behind the lyrics. When viewing it in the connotative meaning, it can have different interpretations, but most people agree on two. The first one is connected to the then present Soviet Union and it's perestroika period. The calm night is supposed to be everyday life itself, existing as a constant thing. The people who are entioned gathering in the song are the people who want more change in the system. They first gather, those who share similiar ideas, ideals and thinking, and then take off, meaning taking action to change things. The line "Those who were silent aren't silent anymore" stresses this perfectly. The people who are sleeping on the other hand are those who are afraid to speak up. They aren't happy either with how things are run, but have a perfectly adequate life and don't want to risk changes, because that could disturb their "sleep" or their present life. The other interpretation dwells into Tsoi's personal life, and the song resonates with the listener on a personal level. Here we don't talk about systems or ideologies, but how people are generally afraid to make changes in their lives, let it be a personal problem, relationships, grief, or a life changing event. In this sense the song describes how people need to force themselves out of their comfort zones and has to sacrifice some to make a change, unlike people who decide to "sleep" instead, meaning that those people are not strong enough, too lazy, or just cannot make a change. Generally people tend to avoid songs like these just for their melancholy sound, but I tend to look at Kino's and Viktor Tsoi's songs like an oyster. You have to break the hard shell in order to see the pearl inside. I'm currently studying anglo-saxon history, culture and language in general in universtiy, and translating and analyzing foreign songs is a huge passion of mine. Hope I could give you some explanations, and please don't hesitate to check out my other translations of some other Kino songs! Greetings from Hungary!

В седло садятся те, кто спасён. А тем кто ложиться спать, спокойная ночь.

Canzone preferita ...ghitarra- fine del mondo!!!grazie

You guys took this song literally as you heard it. But there are many allegories in the song, which is why the songs of the Kino group are still popular. Each listener can find something of their own in them, close to their condition, circumstances, experiences.

A+ video! LOVE IT! Music sounds fantastic!

Это песня-притча, как и многие у Цоя.

Subscribed for Kino ❤ Philosophical approach to meanings beats word for word , when comes to Kino

Очень красивая и мелодичная песня, спасибо за реакцию на нее!

Цой жив ❤

In fact, this is a social song about active and passive people. The song is full of allegories. Passive people go with the flow and do not take part in the urgent need for change. They accept the routine that at night everyone usually sleeps and goes to bed. They are wished a restful sleep. The city is the country. The flashes of fireworks in the night sky are bright people striving to illuminate the night, but the night (the existing order) is stronger, the power of the night is great. Those who do not agree sit in the saddle of their horse, and the rest (passive people) are wished a peaceful sleep. Here is a remastered version of this song (it turned out much better in my opinion) at a concert dedicated to the death of the lead singer 30 years later. Only his silhouette is visible on the screen and his voice is heard. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LGFOkToQbRk.html

Цой ЖИВ!!!

Thanks for the reaction!!!

спасибо за труд .

Не стоит понимать песни Цоя буквально, в каждой строке скрытый смысл! Виктор пел вроде простые песни, но со смыслом! Думающий человек догадается!

we Russians still perceive this song mentally, those who went to sleep forever, we remember everyone under it

К сожалению, песню они не поняли. Ничего безмятежного и успокаивающего в ней нет. Наоборот, она разделяет людей на тех, кто собирается спать, им и желается оставаться в дремоте, и тех, кто собирается в путь, и кого уже не догнать спящим. И это не успокоение, и не примерение, а констатация факта и принятие для себя одной из сторон. И не в том даже дело, кто прав, а в том, что они становятся по разные строны в этой жизни. Где уж тут calm and soothing?!

Попытались... Потрудиться... Понять...

спасибо

Цой, легенда навсегда!!!!

Мне очень жаль, что такой великий поэт и философ - Витя Цой погиб но, с другой стороны: я рад, что он не дожил до этого блядства, что твориться в мире. Я рад, что Вите не приходится делать сложный выбор

Vitya forever!!!

Super!!!❤❤❤

Ребята послушайте песню "Стук"!!!

Molodcji ,rebyata - gut

Hi there. As an in-born Russian speaker I am telling you: Victor Tsoi was a seer, he was a prophet. His poems are inspired by the heaviness of the era of deprivation, the struggle for the right to think and say what you want. These verses reflect the severity of life, in which everything was missing: from ordinary clothes to the “spirit of freedom”

You did not take the most successful version, there is a video where the band got together and plays live, and Viktor Tsoi's voice sounds in the recording, the audience is almost all crying, and that we feel sorry for this great composer and singer, he wrote all the songs himself and sang them and put together his own band, called the Cinema ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LGFOkToQbRk.htmlsi=ZWdQAySwUprDGUIf

The song isn't new, Tsoi is a Soviet rock musician, KINO is the band they were a rock ban in the soviet union back when rock was banned, he himself was a half korean soviet who became the soviet unions biggest underground rock star

🤘

👍👍👍✌
