1) LUMEN is a Russian rock/alternative band from Ufa, Russia . The band was formed on the 12th of February, 1998. In ten years Lumen became one of the most famous and popular Russian alternative bands. In October, 2008 Lumen won the "Band of the year" title at RAMP Awards. In 2007 the band has won two prizes on RAMP awards from main alternative music channel in Russia “A-One”, they were laureate of nominations “Best band of 2007” and “Best album of 2007”. Same year Lumen won prize from rock-magazine Fuzz as “Best new band”. “New” is actually not really correct if talks about them. Their first radio hit Сид и Нэнси (Sid & Nancy)get on radio on 2002 and became a hymn for huge part of teenagers who found in Lumen’s lyrics their own ego and recognized that they are soul-mates. Than two of their songs C4 and Сколько (“How much?”) approached same destiny as “Sid and Nancy”. Again peoples are re-singing those songs on their garages and kitchens and again Lumen turned out a very timely and burning. The song Государство (“State”) became the most often-ordered song in the air of A-One channel.
From 2002 the band grew up with their first worshippers founding a lot of new one. Lumen’s following releases only increase their success. For today Lumen has 8 official releases among which 4 studio albums, 4 live albums and two of live is a DVD.
It easy to imagine but difficult to believe – just for few years LUMEN without any special support from major labels and some fake sensations became on status of a big and good know artists. And they moved from small venues and a split concerts to solo concerts on the most famous and huge venues in Russia. Lumen is always searches for new ways and don’t scares of experiments.
Somebody may say that they are representative of the new wave in alternative music; somebody may call them a followers of traditional punk music. But musicians themselves don’t care about any labels and definitions. They makes honest and uncompromising songs and don’t try to holds the “format” and state of affairs. And their songs are always finds thousands admires everywhere around the country. Their live shows it’s like a storm of drive and real emotions for this reason their numerous concerts are always has a huge audience.
The band was created by Rustem “Tem” Bulatov, Igor “Garick” Mamaev, Denis “Den” Shahanov and Evgeni “John” Ognev. For few years until 2002 the band actively researches and acts. In 2002 Lumen published their first “white label“ release - it’s a concert in the club “Navigator” in Ufa. The song named “Sid & Nancy”, from upcoming album, became a radio-hit status. Followed album was released by large Russian label and named “Bez Konservantov” (tr.: “No Preservatives Added”) it’s definitely fixed band’s success. In 2004, when the band recognized that they did not got expected efficiency from label which released their first album, they choose another one Russian label, broke up relationships with manager and started to work with Vadim Bazeev (producer and general manager of independent label, based in Moscow “Muzyka-Vdoh”) who in some time became a manager of the band, full member of the team and real creator of new ideas. Two songs from album “Tri Puti” (tr.: Three Ways) which was released on 2004, became to be radio-hits as well. Lumen performed on regional music festivals as a headlines; every year they got offers for acting on huge Russian festivals. After the release of the album, first big concert tour, numbered more than 20th cities has taken place.
On Summer of 2005 was released first official live-album “Odnoy Krovi” (tr.: One blooded) . In October was released another one studio album named “Svoboda” (tr.: Freedom). This album was recorded in Ufa with regular Lumen’s sound producer Vlad Savvateev (D-Rain). In Spring of 2006 Lumen have released their first official DVD named “Dyshi”. (tr.: Breathe) And again musicians did not get full output and result from promised deals from record-labels. When the terms of the contract with record-label has finished, the band decided to makes everything by their own and be in race from outside. In process of work under next album bass player leaved the band exactly for few weeks before starting of the promotion tour. Nevertheless, not any concert which planned in support-tour was cancelled. Evgeniy "Shmel" Trishin was invited in membership as the sessional musician. 2007 year becomes for LUMEN a really breakthrough. In the beginning of April the band presented a new concert program “Pravda?” (tr.: Truth?) In few weeks later Lumen has got a prize from authority Russian rock magazine “Fuzz” in a nomination “Best new band”. In the end of the year Lumen gets another one well-deserved prize: The band has won on the “RAMP” Awards founded by First Alternative Music Channel “A-One” in two nominations: “Best Album of 2007” and “Best band of 2007”. The beginning of 2008 was marked for the band by long and most extensive concert-tour "Burya" (tr.: Storm), and this time it has captured not only Russian cities (from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok!), but also CIS countries.

2)Lumen was formed in San Francisco, CA by several individuals who collectively despise post-rock. Originally a bedroom project of old bandmates Jeff R. and Jeff K., Lumen evolved to become something larger and stranger. Now residing between LA and Oakland, the four Lumens labor and toil in fits to create their bizarrely anthemic songs. Why bizarre? Imagine a fingerpicked acoustic guitar performing counterpoint with the warm upright bass, all resting atop the blankets of organs and accordian. Now place that in the context of Andee from A Minor Forest's amazingly loud and penetrating heavy metal polyrhythms. Yet the music ranges towards the land of the metal ballad, or perhaps the one Yes song you actually would put on a mixtape. Forget the fact that Rosenberg was previously in Tarentel; Lumen pulls from a whole new bag of tricks! They embody melancholia and triumph, conviction and loss, days of yore and future.
2001 "The Man Felt An Iron Hand Grasp Him By The Hair, At The Nape. Not One Hand, A Hundred Hands Seized Him, Each By The Hair, And Tore Him Head To Foot, The Way You Tear Up A Sheet Of Paper, Into Hundreds Of Little Pieces." on Temporary Residence
3)A stoner/screamo band from the Czech Republic actually called Lvmen!
Several albums released on Day After Records.
4)Lumen is also the name the duo Pinkie Maclure & John Wills have released an album called "This day and age" under, although they are now performing as either Pumajaw or using their own names. Willis conjures up energetic, well-judged backing, never too much, but just enough to frame Maclure's marvellous voice. The combination draws on Thirties cabaret, musique concrète, free jazz and modern dance music to produce a unique and incredibly self-assured sound.
5)There is also an electronic/trance artist by the name of Chris Conklin who performs as Lumen; The album esperanto belongs to this artist.
6) Lumen are also a Portuguese group of folk/celtic/world music. They incorporate traditional and modern instruments in both traditional songs from the northern Iberian Peninsula and their own original songs.
Не спеши
Lumen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
И ты купился, ты поверил, дурак.
Но те, что отправляют тебя в последний бой,
Не станут умирать рядом с тобой.
Они не пойдут с тобой в тот мрак,
В котором ты и в котором твой враг.
Они все узнают из программы новостей,
В которой покажут плачущих детей.
Даже взгляд поменялся: стал таким наглым.
Но стоит ли это слез твоей мамы?
Твоя жизнь равна девяти граммам.
И они уже летят, летят тебе навстречу.
Может даже не убьют, просто покалечат.
И ты, гребаный мудак, когда-нибудь поймешь!
Вспомнишь всех детей, которых не вернешь...
Не спеши
Точить ножи.
Скажи зачем
Тебе война?
Твоя жизнь
Не только злость.
Вся твоя злость
Всего лишь сатана.
И как я могу судить тебя!?
Ведь я такой же как ты, такая же тля!
И я так же, как ты, не понимаю этот мир,
Но есть одно "но": я никого не убил!
А ты можешь продолжать верить уродам
Год за годом, год за годом.
Ты можешь продолжать сеять сталь.
Все зашибись! Мне тоже очень жаль!
Все джихады, вендетты, крестовые походы
Придумали суки, придумали уроды!
Думай головой, головой, а не жопой!
Неужели ты так хочешь кого-нибудь ухлопать!?
Вкус победы - это вкус чьей-то боли.
Хотел ли ты сам себе такой доли?
И те, что отправляют тебя в последний бой,
Не станут умирать рядом с тобой!
Не спеши
Точить ножи.
Скажи зачем
Тебе война?
Твоя жизнь
Не только злость.
Вся твоя злость
Всего лишь сатана.
Не спеши
Точить ножи!
Скажи зачем
Тебе война!?
Твоя жизнь
Не только злость!
Вся твоя злость
Всего лишь сатана!
The song "Не спеши" by Lumen talks about the consequences of blindly following those who manipulate us into believing that we need to fight and kill in the name of some higher cause. The lyrics highlight the fact that the people who send others to war will not be there to die alongside them, and that war only brings suffering and pain. The singer questions why anyone would choose to go to war and points out that anger and hatred are nothing but tools of the devil.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea that we are all flawed and that none of us truly understand the complexities of the world we live in. The singer acknowledges that he too is no better than anyone else, but he has never killed anyone, and he implores the listener to not blindly follow those who are hell-bent on sowing destruction and chaos. The song ends with a plea for people to think for themselves and to not let their emotions and hatred lead them down the path of violence and destruction.
Overall, "Не спеши" is a powerful anti-war song that urges us to think critically and to reject the notion that violence and hatred are solutions to our problems.

Тебе объяснили, кто твой друг, а кто враг.
You were told who your friends and enemies are.
И ты купился, ты поверил, дурак.
And you fell for it, you believed, fool.
Но те, что отправляют тебя в последний бой,
But those who send you to the final battle,
Не станут умирать рядом с тобой.
Will not die next to you.
Они не пойдут с тобой в тот мрак,
They will not go with you into that darkness,
В котором ты и в котором твой враг.
In which you and your enemy are.
Они все узнают из программы новостей,
They will all know from the news program,
В которой покажут плачущих детей.
In which they will show crying children.
И вот ты уже побрит наголо,
And now you are already shaven bald,
Даже взгляд поменялся: стал таким наглым.
Even your gaze has changed: become so arrogant.
Но стоит ли это слез твоей мамы?
But is it worth your mother's tears?

Your life is worth only nine grams.

Но есть одно 'но': я никого не убил!
But there is one 'but': I haven't killed anyone!

It's all fucking great! I'm very sorry too!

Were invented by bitches, were invented by freaks!

Think with your head, with your head, not your ass!
Неужели ты так хочешь кого-нибудь ухлопать!?
Do you really want to kill someone!?
Вкус победы - это вкус чьей-то боли.
The taste of victory is the taste of someone's pain.
Хотел ли ты сам себе такой доли?
Did you want such a fate for yourself?
И те, что отправляют тебя в последний бой,
And those who send you to the final battle,
Не станут умирать рядом с тобой!
Will not die next to you!

Жаль что в Росси неприслушиваются к понастоящему хорошим песням

Обидно ,что хорошие песни очень не популярны

@Влад Угольков пальцы после порезов у меня ни разу не гнили, вероятно потому, что я их обрабатывал зелёнкой и закрывал пластырем. Но если вместо зелёнки и пластыря применять ржавый нож для заживления пореза, то потом можно и руку отрубать, да. Последние 8 лет наша пропаганда неустанно напоминала украинцам, что их народа не существует и их страна недоразумение, это вывело их братскую любовь к России на невиданный раньше уровень. Теперь решили, что одних слов мало, надо бы ещё и действиями подкрепить.
Думаю в белом доме распили не одну бутылку шампанского по поводу этого "лечения". Они так долго растили России врага и тут такая своевременная помощь.
