Recalling the nine best songs of Stas Namin's "Flowers" ensemble
Содержание
Group "Flowers" by Stas Namin - is one of the most unique on the national stage. For example, she is one of the firstwho started to play rock on our stage! And according to the magazine "Itogi", it was with "Flowers" that the entire "domestic unformat". And, of course, the activities of this collective attracted the attention of the authorities especially... So, at the peak of popularity "Flowers" was disbanded, and even its name was banned! But, fortunately, in the end, the composition continued to create - only now already under the name of "Stas Namin's band.".
Ensemble "Flowers" won deafening popularity at home, and even made a world tour with the beginning of Perestroika - it lasted for 4 years! And their first minion on Melodiya, which included the legendary composition "My Clear Star", sold out in circulation 7 million copies! For a young student band from the USSR it was a colossal breakthrough! By the way: the song itself is rightfully considered the best in the repertoire of the band - as fans say "unequivocally number one"! And the way it was performed Alexander LosevNo one has been able to repeat, let alone surpass it. Even the author of "Zvezdochka" himself, Vladimir Semyonov, claims that Losev is the best performer of this song. And the overwhelming majority of listeners fully agree with this.
Unfortunately, Alexander Nikolayevich is no longer with us. Many people emphasise that only with him the songs of "Flowers" sounded especially magical... And the public especially adores the work of 70-х - It was during this period that the band performed and recorded its best creations. They are lyrical, melodic, beautiful... But we decided not to limit ourselves to a certain time period. In today's article we will remember 9 powerful hits Stas Namin's Flowers, without whom, in fact, it is impossible to imagine it!
"Jurmala"
"Jurmala." know, love and enjoy listening to it to this day. And it is with this song that we decided to start our list.
The group "Flowers" actively performed "Jurmala" during their world tourand judging by the audience's reaction, the foreign audience really liked the song!
"Bogatyr's strength."
This widely known and truly bogatyrskaya in terms of sound, the composition successfully complemented the 1980 album "Hymn to the Sun.".
In general, the album pleased listeners - among the popular songs on it we can also highlight "Say yes to me." и "After the rain.". Around the same time, the musical film "Fantasy on the theme of love" was released, featuring tracks from "Hymn to the Sun".
"It's too early to say goodbye."
Business card A band that every fan will easily recognise!
In the '70s, the Flowers were actively compared to the "The Beatles.". Whether for that reason or another, but ultimately the group's banned. And even the name of the ensemble was rejected - they said it was propaganda of Western ideology and hippie ideas! And so, when the musicians managed to get together again (now as "Stas Namin's Group"), they released powerful songs after their creative break. One of them was "It's too early to say goodbye.".
"Bach Creates."
Fans of the band are very like this song, so we couldn't pass it up.
Curious fact: after "Flowers" came back as a "Stas Namin's band."Many people did not believe in the further success of the group - they thought that without the well-known name, Namin and his team would not succeed. But as we can see, they were deeply mistaken. Under the new name, the band even surpassed itself, achieving greater popularity!
"We wish you happiness."
In the first half of the '80s, the band hit again banned! And this after a great performance in Yerevan and an enthusiastic article in the magazine Time! Although it may have been the last paragraph that made the difference.....
Positive composition "We wish you happiness."which every domestic listener knows (the song had long ago gone to the people) was also included in the "black list"! Fortunately, just a year later - in 1983 - "Flowers" was invited to record "Blue Light", in which the song was played twice!
"Honestly."
Another masterpiece of "Colours!" It celebrates fairer half of humanity, without which - as the musicians declare - "there's no way!"
"There are eyes in flowers."
And this composition is still eagerly re-listened to by fans today! "There are eyes in flowers." - one of the band's most famous and popular songs.
The recording of this song, as well as others from the first mixtape on Melodia, involved symphony orchestra under the baton of Yuri Silantiev.
"Summer Evening."
In Namin's own words, the inspiration for this song came from the tender "Angie." by the Rolling Stones. Nevertheless, listeners actively compare "Summer Evening" to the iconic "Hotel California" Eagles! All because of the similarities in losses.....
Guitarist Igor Sarukhanov he didn't copy his foreign colleagues!
"My clear star."
There was probably no doubt in anyone's mind which song we would end our list with.....
Without "My clear star." It's impossible to imagine the group "Flowers", because this is their main hit! Touching and very beautiful...
