Since 1969 Alexey was the leader for his own band with no certain name - originally it was called 'Wandering Clouds', then - 'Guys Who Start To Play When A Stripped Hippo Crosses The River Zambezie'. In 1974-75 he was a member of Машина Времени.
Voskresenie was started in 1979, when Evgeny Margulis (bass, vocals) and Sergey Kawagoe (drums) left Mashina Vremeni due to dissolution with its leader Andrey Makarevich. They joined Romanov and guitarist Alexey Makarevich (cousin to Andrey). During the summer of 1979 Voskresenie recorded their first, eponymously titled album, which included their best-known song 'Kto Vinovat?' ( Who's to blame?). This song was played at 'Radio Moscow World Service' (Soviet English-speaking international radio) and reached #5 in Moskovsky Komsomolets yearly chart. But the band broke up when Kawagoe and Alexey Makarevich ceased their music careers, and Margulis left the band to join 'Arax', another Russian rock outfit. New line-up was formed with the help of singer-songwriter/guitarist Konstantin Nikolsky, who later went on to record a number of solo albums. After that, Nikolsky never was a member of the band, though he retained the right to play his own songs written for Voskresenie during his solo shows. Actually, some 10 years later he managed to re-record some of them on his album 'Odin Vzglyad Nazad' ('A Look Back').
In 1983 Romanov was suddenly arrested and tried for 'illegal business deals' - actually, it was a part of a campaign against independent music bands. Voskresenie reunited in 1989, celebrating 10-years jubilee. It wasn't until 1994, though, when a lineup of Romanov, Margulis, Andrey Sapunov and Mikhail Shevyakov recorded a new album.
In 2000-01 Voskresenie joined Mashina Vremeni in a very successful 25-years-on-stage-for-either-of-the-two-bands tour called '50 years for two'.
The latest release by Voskresenie is "Ne Toropyas'" (In No Hurry) from 2004 which features a number of previously unreleased old songs as well as the new ones.
Есть у меня
Воскресение Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Есть необычные, вам ни к чему
Есть у меня песни обычные
Но безразличные мне самому
Есть песни для девочек, песни для праздников
Грустные песни и просто стихи
Романсы и танцы, какая вам разница?
Ворохи песен для каждого случая
Тихая радость и громкая грусть
Вопли и вздохи - их самое лучшее
Песня не спета тот, ну и пусть
А если достигну я славы и почести
А после постигну, что все - суета
Есть значит правда в моем одиночестве!
Вечная правда, а в ней красота
The lyrics of Воскресение's song "Есть у меня" (translated as "I Have") convey the singer's diverse repertoire of songs and his personal indifference towards them. The song begins by stating that the singer has various songs, some of which are unusual and insignificant to others. He also mentions having ordinary songs, but they are indifferent to him personally.
The second paragraph describes the different types of songs the singer possesses. He mentions having songs for girls, songs for celebrations, sad songs, and simple verses. He questions the significance of whether they are romances or dances, implying that genres and labels are unimportant. Furthermore, he acknowledges that there are many songs that are not good but are intended for those who are deaf, suggesting that they are not meant to be appreciated or understood by everyone.
The third paragraph suggests that the singer has a collection of songs for every occasion. Whether it's a quiet joy or a loud sadness, his repertoire encompasses all emotions. He emphasizes that the best songs are those filled with cries and sighs, implying that true emotions are what make a song meaningful. He also emphasizes that a song is not truly sung until it is heard, indicating that the audience plays a vital role in completing the song's purpose.
The final paragraph reflects on the potential attainment of fame and honor by the singer. He contemplates that even if he achieves success, he will eventually realize that it is all vanity. The singer finds solace in his solitude, believing that eternal truth and beauty reside within it. This suggests that the singer values his authenticity and genuine expression more than external recognition or validation.
Overall, "Есть у меня" reflects on the diverse nature of the singer's songs, the insignificance of others' opinions, the importance of genuine emotions in music, and the value of solitude in finding true beauty and truth.
