И так, с чего бы начать. А начнём мы с того, что характеризуем стиль группы в рамках современной российской рок-сцены.
Здесь представлена очень яркая и живая смесь из Rock`n`Roll`a, Hard Rock`a и Glam Rock`a. Всё это дело взяли, красиво скомпоновали, музыку написали на европейский стандарт, добавили мелодичности, в некоторых местах подбавили драйва, написали красивые и романтичные тексты и вуаля! Перед нами готовый к употреблению хороший и качественный продукт. Собственно, для Европы такая музыка не в новинку, но вот для России - то что доктор прописал. Ну вот вспомните, какие у нас были хорошие команды подобного стиля? Лично я ни одну не могу припомнить. А тут как послушал - бомба, прям ворвавшийся ураган! Сразу промелькнула мысль, что: "Вот оно - будущее российской рок сцены, а не всякие псевдо-группы а-ля Звери".
Диск открывается достаточно приятной композицией на одну из любимых для слушателя тематик - любви. "Nobody Loves You More Than I Do" - приятная композиция, я бы сказал - милая. Но по моему скромному мнению, конечно, - это не та песня, с которой должен был открываться альбом. А должен он был открываться со следующей вещи - "California Rose"! Воистину - это одна из лучших композиций в творчестве группы. Драйв, мелодичность, интересная лирика - главные составляющие. Далее идёт один из хитов группы, песня "Queen Of My Heart", на которую также снят видеоклип. Послее неё просто врывается "Tell Them Geta Hell Away". Очень типичная песенка для рок-музыки, очень задорная и весёлая "Don`t Get Evil" идёт следом за ней. Когда я в первый раз её услышал, то подумал, что ребята захотели поэкспериментировать со звуком Deep Purple и Guns`n`Roses. И чёрт возьми, им это удалось! Забойная вещица. Далее идут такие вещи как "Now Is When I Need Ya", "Living On Her Own", "What Am I Supposed To Do" и "Playing With Strings Of My Soul", которые выдержаны в концепции предыдущих композиций. А вот на "Cherry In The Peach" я хотел бы остановиться. На нее снят видеоклип на основе концерта группы в парке "Тропарёво". И также хочу обратить внимание на лирику песни: те, кто ладит с английским языком и понимает тонкие намёки - обязателньо просмотрите его, вы будете приятно удивлены. Ну и завершает альбом очень приятная акустическая композиция с грустной лирикой - "Christmas Without You".
По технике музыкантов могу сказать только то, что они молодцы. Всё сыграно интересно и качественно. Главное, что музыканты вложили в музыку свои чувства и донесли свои идеи до слушателя.
Далее запись альбома. Это минус. Лично я не нашёл середины в звучании инструментов. Хотя, конечно, это не столь значительный минус, но всё же. Нет плотности звука.
В целом, что я хочу сказать. Для мировой музыки ребята не изобрели ничего нового, просто следуют старым традициям, а вот для российской сцены - это открытие, что, в принципе, я надеюсь, оценит российский слушатель. Ставлю оценку "10+", исходя из того, что это наши соотечествинники, если бы они были европейцами, я бы поставил "8" баллов, но для России - это точно как минимум альбом года. |

If you were heaven
I would be an angel in the sky
Everything I used to do
Is in the mirror of rear view
Nobody loves you more than I do
Whatever happens
You just gotta know I’m by your side
Everything’s fine girl
I’ll take your fear away and hold you tight
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To be everything to you
Nobody loves you more than I do
California rose
(Lyrics by Yan)
I’m just a lonely stranger
In the city of the angels
My home’s behind the ocean
In a million miles of motion
And everything’s been all right
Until I met her outside
She said she doesn’t mind
To see me tomorrow night
She sent me an air kiss
And got lost in the crowd
Damn! she’s a miracle
And there is no doubt
She’s a fire boiling my gipsy blood
I swear to God
Oh California rose
There’s nothing to expose
There’s nothing I can do
I’m falling into you
California rose
I’m almost so close
Just let me take the time
And I will make you mine
Oh California rose
She is a gorgeous ”Donia”
A flower of California
“Caramba” what a lady
I’m out of my head already
Everything ’s been all right
Until I met her outside
She’s always on my mind
That’s something I can’t fight
She sent me an air kiss
And got lost in the crowd
Damn! she’s a miracle
And there is no doubt
She is something what’s rocking my heart
I swear to God
I’m just a lonely stranger
In the city of the angels
She is a gorgeous ”Donia”
A flower of California
Queen of my heart
(Lyrics by Yan)
You know as well as I
I’m mad for loving you
I really lose my mind
I lose my head whatever you do
And when I see your eyes
I’m really sure you’re only beautiful girl in the world
You’re the only one I ever need
Just believe me that I do indeed
Queen of my heart
Queen of my heart
If you’ll share my feelings
Believe me nothing will tear us apart
Queen of my heart
Queen of my heart
Just give me a sign
On a where to start
You know to hear your voice
It’s music to my ears
When you’re so far from me
I’m going down and can’t stop my tears
I see your shining smile
It’s dazzling me my heart is melting
like ice in the flame
You’re the only one I ever need
Just believe me that I do indeed
All the time I think of you know it’s true
Wherever you are doesn’t matter how far
You just believe in this and forgive me please
So what can I do if I can’t stop loving you
Tell them \'\'get the hell away\'\'
(Lyrics by Yan)
You’re dreaming of something
You’re looking for something
You’re going for striving for fighting
for something
Just keep on staying busy
Till your head goes dizzy
No peace of cake but nobody
says it’s easy
But there are some folks always
Laughing at you always
Trying to make you lose your
hope and your faith always
Don’t let them get you down
Don’t let them let you down
Don’t let them make you fill down
Tell them \'\'get the hell away\'\'
Cause it’s only your own way
Well I ain’t got no doubt you
can make it all through
Keep on going and do what you do
Ain’t no matter what they say
Tell me \'\'Who the hell are they?\'\'
Never let anybody powder your brain
If you fell just stand up go again
You know there’s no award
If there’s no move forward
Nothing at all if there’s no trying so hard
That’s what I’m saying to you
Some dreams can really come true
And who knows maybe one of those
is the dream you come to
No matter what will be their reaction
I know for sure there’s no result with no action
Don’t let them get you down
Don’t let them let you down
Don’t let them make you fill down
Don’t get evil (for no reason)
(Lyrics by Yan)
Hey crazy why do you
Put me down with a razor word
Why should I tell you something
slashing like a sword
I’m doin’ nothin’ wrong then why
are you so pissed
You know your speaking is an iron fist
You told me you love me is
that the way you do
Tell me what’s wrong with you
Don’t get evil for no reason honey
Girl that stupid it’s just funny
You don’t have to blow your self up honey
O baby don’t ya know
Don’t get evil for no reason honey
Don’t be sick you know it’s funny
Don’t get evil for no reason honey
C’mon C’mon C’mon
So many times before
I tried to get away
You called me on my cell phone
askin’ me to stay
So tell me honey babe you love
me or you don’t
I guess you don’t know what you want
You know I don’t wanna hurt ya girl
I’m not gonna lie to ya girl
Just listen to me cause I’m tired to fight ya girl
Just look inside you set you mind totally free
So miss fury miss anger tell me what you see
You’re like a vulcan a rattle snake in the action
Makin’ your selection until ya get satisfaction
I’m tellin’ ya babe it’s a silicon way to feel
It’s harder to rescue our love baby than to kill
Now is when I need ya
(Lyrics by Michael Chavez)
The day goes bye I’m staring
out the window
I’ve lived and died and now
there’s nowhere left to go
I can see the train trough the crying rain
And now there’s nothing left to kill this pain
Now is when I need ya baby
Close your eyes and say you’re with me
Let the words play in your head a while
Now I need ya more than ever
Help me learn to make it better
Just say yes and I’ll believe in you
The night is black and there’s
no light to shine on me
No turning back and I can’t
fight what I can’t see
Just take a stand as a desperate man
And now there’s no one left
who understands
Now is when I need ya
Now is when I need ya most need ya most
Now now more than ever
How about you
I’ll believe in you
One more day and I’m right back where I started from
But that’s o.k. cause now I’d rather stay than run
There’s no game no fortune or fame
And now there’s no one left for me to blame
Living on her own
(Lyrics by Yan)
Another one lonely night
It’s still the same she feels inside
She’s trying hanging on
Cause she wouldn’t tell that anyone
No matter how hard she tries
Holds the pillow tight and drops the diamonds from her eyes
Like a baby cries
Living on her own
Drifting all alone
All the time in tears
Every night in fears
Living on her own
Always silent phone
Living on her own
Living on her own
Another one lonely night
Where is the place from pain to hide
She could even cut her veins
But she is too clever for those games
Too smart for suicide
Holy Heaven bless her God
I hope she’ll be all right
After lonely night
Seems like a faulty voice from miles away
Saying sorry but I couldn’t stay
I’m thinking of you too
No matter what I do
Anything I do
What am I supposed to do
(Lyrics by Yan)
Fallen straight from heaven with the broken wings
What am I supposed to do
You don’t care but you’ve still got me on your strings
What am I supposed to do
Now I’m inside out it’s like a blade into my back
Like a bullet to my heart and like a snakebite right on my neck
Getting out of this town by the midnight train
What am I supposed to do
Well I’m only trying not to be in pain
What am I supposed to do
Seems like there’s no one but only laughing at me moon
Maybe I’ll forgetcha but it’s gonna happen not pretty soon
Now you’re somewhere else but I still call your name
What am I supposed to do
Well you must be happy you just played your game
So what the hell am I supposed to do
You still burn inside my head just like a sun in june
Maybe I’ll forgetcha but it’s gonna happen not pretty soon
Go ahead now entertain your ego my dear
Feed it with my ache water with my tear
That’s the only way you wanna be
So the hell with it just set me free
Fallen straight from heaven with the broken wings
You forgot your promises and broke my wings
What am I supposed to do
You don’t care but you’ve still got me on your strings
What the hell am I supposed to do
Leave my head and let me turn the page I’m out of tune
Maybe I’ll forgetcha but it’s gonna happen not pretty soon
Fallen straight from heaven with the broken wings
What am I supposed to do
Playing with the strings of my soul
(Lyrics by Yan)
Playing with the strings of my soul
What the hell is wrong with me
Where the hell do I fall
I feel I wanna stay with ya together
Over and over forever and ever
Playing with the strings of my soul
You can make it sing just like nobody else at all
The way you do it just lights up the fire
Burning and taking me higher and higher
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
I really love ya I’m out of control
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
I just can not feel the ground
Under my feet at all
If you don’t leave me then I’m going nowhere
Jumping in love with you over and over
Playing with the strings of my soul
What the hell is wrong with me
Where the hell do I fall
I feel I wanna stay with ya together
Over and over forever and ever
Forever and ever forever and ever
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
I really love ya I’m out of control
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
I’m really happy completely at all
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
Playing with the strings of my soul
Cherry in the peach
(Lyrics by Yan)
Let me get tightly close
To the petals of rose hot like fire
Let me spell you all over
And over again take you higher
Let me in woooh
Let me out woooh
Won’t ya baby
Then c’mon woooh
Let me please woooh
Drive ya crazy
Let me taste this cherry in the peach
That’s the greatest game to play I’ll always preach
Let me taste this cherry in the peach
Take a flight woooh
For tonight woooh
Let me taste this cherry in the peach
You know what I wanna say with this speech
Let me taste this cherry in the peach
Baby please woooh
Honey please
Let it go like this
Let me travel up here
Let me travel down there
Take me over
I will put a little peace of my soul in each kiss
Under cover
Get red-hot woooh
To extreme woooh
Honey won’t you
You can shout woooh
You can scream woooh
If ya want to
Let me get tightly close
To the petals of rose hot like fire
You’re my angel my demon my passion
My deepest desire………
Christmas without you
(Lyrics by Yan)
Christmas without you
Christmas without you
All that I’m thinking
Is all along about you
Everything you said
Every night we had
I just can’t hide that
It’s still alive in my head
Your love was and it’s still
Like a holy water
I thought it’s no big deal
So I’m out of order
I didn’t hear you cried
Even though you did
I’m feeling like I die
Instead of feeling sweet
Cause I all the way
Tried to drive it away
Didn’t know what I did
Who did I tried to cheat
It was a fault of mine
The same ol’ story
How could I be so blind
Oh dear I’m so sorry
I wanna hold you near
I hope that maybe
You’ll come you’ll be back here
My door is open baby
Please come and stay
There’s a lot I should say
The sun will turn
The pouring rain
If we start it again
