I love this song so much - I never get tired of it. I have completely forgotten that it was a rare song by Nautilus that had a very good video clip. Youtube is great - I found something I forgot long time ago and it is like the whole late 80s - beginning of 90s are flooding back. So much happened, my generation has been living through the "May You Live In Interesting Times" curse for quite a while already.

Nautilus Pompilius: Wings




You are taking off your evening dress
Standing with your face to the wall
And I notice fresh scars
On your velvety smooth back
I would like to cry from the pain
Or lose myself in a dream
Where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?

Where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?
Where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?

Once we had time
Now we are busy
To prove the strong climb over the bones of the weak
To prove that soot is white
We all have lost something
In this senseless war
By the way where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?

Where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?
Where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?

I don't ask how much money you have
I don't ask how many husbands
I see that you are afraid of open windows
And upper floors
And if tomorrow a fire starts
And the whole building is in flames
We will perish without those wings
Which I used to like so much.

Where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?
Where are your wings
Which I used to like so much?

I LOVE THIS SONG TOO! (I think they use it in "Brat" right?) KoT introduced me to it. It's gorgeous and dreamy and lovely. I will have to watch the video when I go home.

I am so glad you like this song! It is interesting that I have been playing some of my old favourites for Sasha recently and she loves them all, and almost always choses the ones I like the most too.

Sadly because "Nautilus" were part of underground movement not many of their songs are made into video clips. But few are, I like this one too ("Walks on Water"), it is so "Master and Margarita".

Oooooohhh... that's one of my top favourites. I also do love other their songs, like "Одинокая птица", but this one is something special....

I haven't had a chance to listen to the song yet, but the lyrics are beautiful and intriguing. Also, I adore your icon.

I love this icon - it is made by [livejournal.com profile] calculare from her own art. There are some more lovely ones here:

Oh, this is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it. :)

My favourite Russian song is-- well, was-- 'Ochi Chyornye' because my mother's Jewish name is Charnya. I only recently learnt that the song isn't really Russian at all!

I know! I love you mothers name, though

Было время, когда я кассеты "Наутилуса" до дыр заслушивала. В смысле, до зажёвывания плёнки. ) "Крылья", "Скованные одной цепью" (увы, она и сейчас не менее актуальна), "Синоптики"... и да, "Прогулки по воде" - действительно "булгаковская". Спасибо за ностальгический пост! :)

me too! I went to their concert three times, the first one I remember especially - it was in 1989 and they all were so young and gorgeous.

На днях Бутусов обещает быть в нашем городе с сольной программой. Не young, не столь уже gorgeous, да и репертуар попсоват. Не пойду. :(

Nautilus was never the same after 90s, for some reason, nothing to see anymore. But the legend lives - I remember Slava just like in the clip below. White face, pseudo-army jacket, live music and singing - gosh, these were good days. 20 years ago..

"Goodbye, America!" is my personal absolute favourite of theirs:

Начиная с 90-х отдали концы практически все серьёзные российские рок-группы. Почти, - за исключением ДДТ, которые и сейчас с гражданской оппозицией. ) Печально всё. ((

Ох... Как же я могла забыть! Когда я впервые услышала "Прощальное письмо" (на местном Радио МС), ревела в три ручья. =) Нельзя такие песни писать. И вот ещё "Я хочу быть с тобой"... Это вообще. *хнык*

So true. I used to love "Alisa" but I am not fond of their most recent songs. I love love love DDT . I think that among all of the Russian rock leads Shevchuk has always had one of the strongest vocals. So sexy.

me too! My sister used to be particular fond of "Я хочу быть с тобой". She always was such a fantasy-maker so she made up a story about the meaning of "Я хочу быть с тобой":
1. They loved each other
2. The girl died
3. The boy tried to kill himself and ended up in a mental institution.

You can make a film on the basis of this song alone.

"Алиса" какие-то концерты ещё даёт, судя по сайту. Но видимо, поют шёпотом, не везде их слышно. ))

Угум, на российской рок-сцене самых голосистых двое: Шевчук и Кипелов. Sexy, вне возраста. =))
Кстати, очень жаль, что Кипелов из "Арии" ушёл, - и группа развалилась сразу, и сольная карьера у него как-то не пошла. :(

"Я хочу быть с тобой" и правда очень "кинематографична". Какой мог бы получиться клип!!!

I don't know Кипелов that well - I am going to try to find his songs on Youtube.

I like one of the first "Aria" albums , but as you say - they quickly disappeared from the scene.

Вот эту вещь у Кипелова я бы очень рекомендовала:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bhW3P1Gy2s

Я недавно какую-то программу видела, показывали как Кипелов со товарищи в гараже репетируют. "Назад в подвалы!" - девиз российской рок-сцены 2000-ных. :)

О, перешла на транслит. :)

Согласна, Наутилус развалили деньги. ((
А по большом счёту в 90-е протестный русский рок, в таком виде, в каком мы его любим, оказался не востребован. Из-за этого многие группы подались непонятно куда.
