interesting thing - back when the group was new, their website had an open FTP that anyone could access, there was no password. Along with the raw footage from the infamous 'Yulya masturbation' from simple movements, this song could be found there (with a creepy delay/echo) was the backing to a weird video of a bunch of Russian guys engaging in 'urban exploration' in some abandoned old building. I kind of wish I'd saved all those videos, it was quite a cool find.
This song is in the "Podnebesnaya no. 1" compilation by Ivan Shapovalov, released in 2004. The song is a demo recorded by Lena Katina alone, even if credited as t.A.T.u. in the album.
Is anyone here in 2023? I used to be huge Tatu fan around 2006-2007 as a gay teenage girl in the Middle East - Their songs were the only place I could find myself when there was no Netflix, no social media or any mainstream LGBT representation. This demo was one of my favorites actually.
The best tatu moment ever was in the Eurovision press conference when somebody asked the Volk what she was doing and she was like "Drawing harts." She was so blaze about the whole thing. I dont know why this video brought that to mind...
(Sorry if the translation quality is bad) You said that everything would be easy That we needed this, that we'd be like the adults Locks, laces, separations that make you cry Random points, everything is so serious But.. It's hard to be a boy when you're a girl It's hard to be a girl when you're a boy And maybe I'll be a squirrel And maybe you'll be a bunny And if we manage to disappear without a trace? The last one won't hide Blurred colors, stupid inquiries We'll say goodbye to our masks and become adults But... It's hard to be a boy when you're a girl It's hard to be a girl when you're a boy And maybe I'll be a squirrel And maybe you'll be a bunny
pasaron 16 años desde que las conoci y empece a escuchar. las adore. y recuerdo cada momento junto a ustedes. 16 years passed by since i started to listen them, i loved them and now every memories of you togheter come to me.
I see your point, but really кролик is rabbit and заичик is hare. And in Midwestern American English, bunny can mean either rabbit or hare. In fact, few people here can tell the difference between a rabbit and a hare, and use bunny to mean either interchangeably. :)
they r soo amazingly wonderful. they've got personalities larger than the world, and the exactly right amount of confidence. all respect them so much, totally look up to them. they're my role models. as people- they r so great and so inspirational. everyone should b as free as them. i bet they make the most wonderful friends.
oh my god, i thought i know every song of t.A.T.u., then i found this one, i know it's just Lena singing, but do you know some other old song like this?!?! i love it, thank you Yulia+Lena for all the songs you did, especially the russian ones, much better than all the english crap on radio ;-) greetings from austria
It's a wonder to me as to why this song isn't popular among the transgender community. It's so fucking sad and really speaks about the pain and confusion of being transgender. I'm not even transgender and it makes me cry nearly every time I listen to it. It speaks about not feeling like a girl and not being able to be a boy, so they'll just be a squirrel, squirrel is often a metaphor for someone who's crazy. Gah, it's just so heartbreaking.
Yes, I agree with you. I am not a transgender either, but I don't feel confortable with my gender. It caused me a lot of pain when I was a teen. Now I prefer to take my girl mask, now that I am an adult. I don't want to be a boy either. But the song touches me not because of the gender problem, but because I have several mental and personality disorders and sometimes I disassociate really bad and I feel unhuman and lonely. I have never got a clear diagnose. When I feel like that, I listen to this song and think about that person that does not exist and that will never come: The Zaichikom, in whose company I can be the belotchka (crazy person) I really am (including the gender-identity trouble). When I found the song I was on a deep depressive period, and I listened to it every night, crying, until I fell asleep. Now I don't cry, I just feel a little bit sad.
the song is saying it's hard to be a boy when you're a girl, it's hard to be a girl when you're a boy, maybe i'll b a squirrel and maybe u'll b a bunny =) kind of silly and also kind of sad because of the melody
That's rather wrong. belochkoi means squirrel and zaichikom is bunny. It's "It's hard to be a boy if you're a girl; It's hard to be a girl if you're a boy. Oh, but can I be a squirrel, oh, and can you be a bunny?
Нда...Такое ощущение, что креатиф иссяк. Прикиньте они бы с этой песней вышли вместо "Я сошла с ума" Их бы закидали помидорами и славы им век не видать бы.
Может они и не пели её часто, как "Я сошла с ума" но вот такая песня у них есть. Вот даже гугл показывает www.google.ee/search?sxsrf=ALeKk02BjBoLWGvw7lm6WLYEaiTm4euqhg%3A1600964855214&source=hp&ei=98hsX7-wCom7lwTEzJGQBg&q=%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%B5+%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8+%D0%B3%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%BF%D1%8B+%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%83&oq=%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%B5+%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8+%D0%B3%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%BF%D1%8B+%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%83&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIGCAAQFhAeMgIIADoECCMQJzoICAAQsQMQgwE6AgguOggILhCxAxCDAToECC4QAzoECAAQA1CUHFiHcWDagQFoAHAAeACAAakBiAHrEJIBBTEwLjExmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpeg&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwj_h_brmoLsAhWJ3YUKHURmBGIQ4dUDCAc&uact=5
