The story of one of the most popular Russian rock songs about love...

The Story of One Song: Spleen - "My Heart Stopped" (2001)

The rock band Splin has been widely known to the Russian public since May 1994. During the long time of their career, the guys managed to create dozens of really strong and very touching songs... The theme is still the same - the eternal lyrics about love... And today we will remember the history of one of the most popular hits of the band, namely, the history of the creation of the song "My Heart" (the composition was released in 2001, as part of the album "25th Frame").

The story behind the song "My Heart Stopped."

The lines of this composition have been a romanticised anthem in the minds of millions of listeners for almost two decades... The author of the hit song, actually - as well as most of the other songs of the band, is Alexander Vasiliev, the lead singer and frontman of the band.

In his interview Vasiliev told that the song "My Heart" was written by him about the beginning of his relationship with his first wife Alexandra:

"This is not some made-up story... This is a reality that I have experienced! We knew each other since our student years, and in the end - our friendship developed into something more... Alexandra became my muse..."

And although it is hard to believe it (the story of this song is very beautiful and romanticised), it is true! Subsequently, the couple had a son, Leonid, and everything seemed to be going just fine! But... apparently, over time, their once strong feelings for each other cooled down. They divorced...

Meaning

As for the meaning of the song, it is quite clear and simple. The lyrics are divided into short and easy-to-hear phrases. And there is nothing wise or strange in them... There are no complicated comparisons and metaphors in the song "My Heart". Everything that Vasiliev sings about is very close to everyone... For example, we don't need to explain why coffee runs away in the morning, and why the curtains are drawn and the sofa is spread out in the afternoon... In his song, the band leader simply described how people's everyday life is formed. And it is made of such trifles.

The composition "My Heart Stopped" is truly a masterpiece. And if only because with its help, by telling about his own feelings in such a simple way, the poet in love was able to touch the hearts of millions of people....
