After leaving the group TEMA, the team chose a new name "Com'ma"- symbolizing the boundary between the past and the future. At this time, the duo became a trio when Snezhana Ryabkov joined the group.
In this form, the girls worked for over 2 years together, having participated in many national and solo concerts, charity concerts, and even performing for the 2008 "Runet Awards". They music was receiving airplay on radio stations in Russia, CIS Countries, Holland and England.
After their success, the group decided to take a creative break which in this time, Snezhana Ryabkov decided to leave the group. The group returned to its original form from a trio to a duo. Nastya and Sasha, the back bone of the group, decided to abandon the apostrophe and the name evolved into "The Comma". Having absorbed the previous history of the group in its integrity, all the ideas, thoughts and creativity of the team.
Now the group "The Comma" are busy recording their new album but, do not forget about their fans. The band is looking for some free time and a comfortable concert hall, to please their fans and to speak to them. Details will be posted soon.

The Comma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El momento y lo que ocurre hoy
No es que el mundo sea malo
Es que no quieren vivir
Con el ceño fruncido y la vista al olvido
Como si quisieran morir
Sufrir en la carne
Y la sangre que hierve
Yal reír y embriagarnos con la vida
Nos damos cuenta que caminamos
Nos damos cuenta que vivimos
No aman, no sienten, no odian
Son inconscientes, son almas en coma
Almas en coma, no piensan ni sienten
Almas en coma, sal de la muerte
Almas en coma, aún es tiempo de vivir
No es cuestión de culpar a nadie
Si al fin y al cabo somos culpables
De esta situación, nuestra situación
No llores, no grites, reacciona
Despierta
Almas en coma, se quejan de todo
Almas en coma, son cuerpos inertes
Almas en coma, aún puedes despertar
The song Coma by The Comma's explores the idea of living life in a state of emotional numbness and apathy caused by the pressures of social conventions and expectations. The lyrics suggest that it is necessary to sit back and analyze the present moment and what is happening in our lives. It is not that the world is bad, but people do not want to live with a furrowed brow and forget everything around them, as if they were ready to die.
The song mentions the physical and emotional pain that we all go through in our lives, and how the realization of the temporary nature of life helps us live in a better way. People who do not feel or experience anything often do so because they are unconscious and have put themselves in a state of emotional coma.
The song further emphasizes that it is not about blaming anyone for this situation, but it is our own fault that we have put ourselves in this state of emotional numbness. It urges the listener to wake up and react to the situation to prevent living in a state of coma forever.
Overall, the song Coma is a powerful message that reminds us to take control of our emotions, break free from complacency, and live life to the fullest.

A comma marks a slight break between different parts of a sentence. Used properly, commas make the meaning of sentences clear by grouping and separating words, phrases, and clauses. Many people are uncertain about the use of commas, though, and often sprinkle them throughout their writing without knowing the basic rules.
Here are the main cases when you need to use a comma:
in lists
in direct speech
to separate clauses
to mark off certain parts of a sentence
with 'however'
Using commas in lists
You need to put a comma between the different items in a list, as in the following sentences:
Saturday morning started with a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and French toast.
The school has a vegetable garden in which the children grow cabbages, onions, potatoes, and carrots.
The final comma in these lists (before the word ‘and’) is known as the ‘serial comma’. Not all writers or publishers use it, but it is used by Oxford Dictionaries – some people refer to it as ‘the Oxford comma’. Using it can make your meaning clearer. Take a look at this sentence:
My favourite sandwiches are chicken, bacon and ham and cheese.
It isn’t entirely clear from this sentence whether the writer is listing three or four of their favourite sandwich fillings: is ‘ham’ one of their favourites and ‘cheese’ another, or is it ‘ham and cheese’ that they like? Adding an Oxford comma makes the meaning clear:
My favourite sandwiches are chicken, bacon, and ham and cheese.
Using commas in direct speech
When a writer quotes a speaker’s words exactly as they were spoken, this is known as direct speech. If the piece of direct speech comes after the information about who is speaking, you need to use a comma to introduce the direct speech. The comma comes before the first quotation mark. Note that the final quotation mark follows the full stop at the end of the direct speech:
Steve replied, ‘No problem.’
You also need to use a comma at the end of a piece of direct speech, if the speech comes before the information about who is speaking. In this case, the comma goes inside the quotation mark:
‘I don’t agree,’ I replied.
‘Here we are,' they said.
There are two exceptions to this rule. If a piece of direct speech takes the form of a question or an exclamation, you should end it with a question mark or an exclamation mark, rather than a comma:
‘Stop him!’ she shouted.
‘Did you see that?’ he asked.
Direct speech is often broken up by the information about who is speaking. In these cases, you need a comma to end the first piece of speech (inside the quotation mark) and another comma before the second piece (before the quotation mark):
‘Yes,’ he said, ‘and I always keep my promises.’
‘Thinking back,’ she added, ‘I didn’t expect to win.’
See more about Punctuation in direct speech.
Using commas to separate clauses
Commas are used to separate clauses in a complex sentence (i.e. a sentence which is made up of a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses).
The following examples show the use of commas in two complex sentences:
Having had lunch,
we went back to work.
[subordinate clause]
[main clause]
I first saw her in Paris,
where I lived in the early nineties.
[main clause]
[subordinate clause]
If the commas were removed, these sentences wouldn’t be as clear but the meaning would still be the same. There are different types of subordinate clause, though, and in some types the use of commas can be very important.
A subordinate clause beginning with ‘who’, ‘which’, ‘that’, ‘whom’, or ‘where’ is known as a relative clause. Take a look at this example:
Passengers
who have young children
may board the aircraft first.
[relative clause]
This sentence contains what’s known as a ‘restrictive relative clause’. Basically, a restrictive relative clause contains information that’s essential to the meaning of the sentence as a whole. If you left it out, the sentence wouldn’t make much sense. If we removed the relative clause from the example above, then the whole point of that sentence would be lost and we’d be left with the rather puzzling statement:
Passengers may board the aircraft first.
You should not put commas round a restrictive relative clause.
The other type of subordinate clause beginning with ‘who’, ‘which’, ‘whom’, etc. is known as a ‘non-restrictive relative clause’. A non-restrictive relative clause contains information that is not essential to the overall meaning of a sentence. Take a look at the following example:
Mary,
who has two young children,
has a part-time job in the library.
[relative clause]
If you remove this clause, the meaning of the sentence isn’t affected and it still makes perfect sense. All that’s happened is that we’ve lost a bit of extra information about Mary:
Mary has a part-time job in the library.
You need to put a comma both before and after a non-restrictive relative clause.
Using commas to mark off parts of a sentence
Commas are used to separate a part of a sentence that is an optional ‘aside’ and not part of the main statement.
Gunpowder is not, of course, a chemical compound.
His latest film, Calypso Dreams, opens next month.
In these sentences, the role of the commas is similar to their function in non-restrictive relative clauses: they mark off information that isn’t essential to the overall meaning. Using commas in this way can really help to clarify the meaning of a sentence. Take a look at this example:
Cynthia’s daughter, Sarah, is a midwife.
The writer’s use of commas tells us that Cynthia has only one daughter. If you removed Sarah’s name from the sentence, there would still be no doubt as to who was the midwife:
Cynthia’s daughter is a midwife.
If you rewrite the original sentence without commas its meaning changes:
Cynthia’s daughter Sarah is a midwife.
The lack of commas tells us that the name ‘Sarah’ is crucial to the understanding of the sentence. It shows that Cynthia has more than one daughter, and so the name of the one who is a midwife needs to be specified for the meaning to be clear.
If you aren’t sure whether you’ve used a pair of commas correctly, try replacing them with brackets or removing the information enclosed by the commas altogether, and then see if the sentence is still understandable, or if it still conveys the meaning you intended.
Using a comma with 'however'
You should use a comma after 'however' when however means 'by contrast' or 'on the other hand':
However, a good deal of discretion is left in the hands of area managers.
Don't use a comma after however when it means 'in whatever way':
However you look at it, existing investors are likely to lose out.
