Uplifting Thoughts for the Isolated and Depressed in Times of Plague

[montycrusto]

No, it is largely a question of timbre and open tone,although many Russian composers wrote parts for the Basso Profundo voice,common in Russia and Eastern Europe,but rare in the West. Some arrangers sometimes add an auxiliary Bass part two octaves lower than the Soprano melody and this creates the impression of greater depth.

I always learn something here!

The words include an exhortation to go into self-isolation:

Vsyakoye nynye, nynye zhityeskoye otlozhim
popyecheniye, otlozhim, otlozhim, otlozhim, popyecheniye

Let us now cast aside, cast aside, let us cast aside all this earthly life,
cast aside, cast aside, cast aside, all this earthly life.

Well describes my life these days. I remember hearing this when it was first released. It blew my mind (the patois of the day).

Not so uplifting as soul-soothing,

Incredible
If someone had told me six months ago that one day more alcohol would end up on my hands than in my mouth, I would have said that they were crazy.
