Nebohody suggested exchanging the royal throne for Siberian blizzards....
Oh, what a song! At first glance, the text resembles a Sphinx's riddle, combining poetry and philosophy, but in reality, this composition is a ray of light in the dull world of pop music! Let's break it down piece by piece.
Starting with the fact that from the very first lines, we are met by some experimental lyricist suffering from a devout summer flux - "I'm tearing, fluff flies around." Imagine that it's not fluff but wings of creativity that either catch the wind or dampen the mood.
Then our hero plunges into deep reflections in search of the meaning of existence and his own home, "You seek meaning - where is your home." Well, who hasn't asked themselves the same question in the middle of the night or while waiting for a response from the support service?
And how do you like the idea of comparing such different things as "the royal throne" and "Siberian blizzards"? Our author clearly knows a thing or two about contrasts! It's like choosing between foie gras and jellied meat for lunch.
But here's the final chord - it's a brilliant repetition of the mantra "Or Siberian blizzards." This is likely not just a pair of words but a profound life choice. When you get tired of worldly bustle, just say "Siberian blizzards" and you will be whisked away to a world of silence and snowy tranquility.
Let's not forget about the instrumental where the tension of thin strings and the jingling are reminiscent of convict shackles. This gives the song an underground charm, making you feel like a modern hipster in an elite club for the chosen few.
In the end, the song is a whirlwind of emotions, reflections, and contrasts where deep philosophical questions are combined with metaphors that make you smile. It's like a glass of champagne: first, you're inspired by the bubbles and then by the depth of the taste. Anyone who hears this composition will certainly not remain indifferent!
Let's be honest, expressing our feelings is difficult, right? Especially when it comes to something very intimate. Not necessarily because it's shameful to reveal inner chaos but because describing your experiences can be challenging even with the help of poetry. Therefore, someone might find the new song by Nebohody a set of ridiculous phrases, while someone else might get goosebumps from these words and music. The song "Non-Overwhelming Summer" either flies by or hits the heart like a bullet.
The author himself, Alexey Nebohodov, admits that this song was not easy for him. "I showed the text to a friend, and she said it was a set of some incoherent thoughts," the author shared. Perhaps for some, it is, but the Nebohody liked the song. Sometimes people find themselves on the same creative wavelength. Who among us hasn't experienced internal turmoil? On the outside, you are calm, but inside, tension is boiling. It's hard to describe, but the Nebohodyy know how to create beautiful music!
As Alexey Nebohodov says, the release of this composition would not have happened without the support of the distributor Fresh Tunes, with whom the group collaborates. In difficult times, musicians should look closely at this distributor.
"Non-Overwhelming Summer" is a song about a state where everything should be at its limit, and it is, but you continue to look at what is happening calmly. While the other half of you is indignant and fights with perceived injustice. Split personality? Maybe.
The signature style of Nebohody is mixing emotions and philosophy into a cool cocktail. "Non-Overwhelming Summer" is like a rebus where you strive to understand your dark sides and find the truth through art. Through music and words, Alexey Nebohodov conveys a complex internal struggle that is present in each of us. You feel like the hero of this internal war. "But after all, a person should consist of internal conflicts, otherwise how will they find the truth," reflects the band leader.
Probably, Alexey Nebohodov is a master at conveying complex states:
Seeking answers in the obvious boundaries
And pretending to be on the edge
You change the masks of hundreds of faces
Assigning them roles in the Arena.
Helplessness - a role for simpletons
Failing it costs too much.
Give me either a royal throne
Or Siberian blizzards.
Internal struggle and the search for truth start to worry us from our teenage years. The song guarantees a few minutes of reflection on complex philosophical questions under Nebohodov's intimate vocals. He shares his thoughts with you, and you with him.
Alexey Nebohodov's philosophy is in the phrase: "helplessness is a role for simpletons." This author tries to understand complex human states, those moments when pretense is impossible. Honest communication with oneself is always better than games and masks in front of the world. In each of us lives a desire to be sincere and accepted as we are.
The music of Nebohody needs to be perceived slowly and thoughtfully, like an ice-cold cocktail on a hot summer day, each line activates the imagination. Fans say that many of their songs, including "Non-Overwhelming Summer," are therapeutic. Alexey Nebohodov guides the listener through an internal conflict, building a roadmap from struggle to tranquility.
Is there a person who did not realize that they were losing in the battle with their inner demons? Nebohodov's vocals create an atmosphere of a friendly conversation in the kitchen, where you are told the whole truth honestly and without judgment. Agree, it is more pleasant to reflect on the complex in the company of a good friend.
And of course, Nebohody are loved for beautiful metaphors and elegant allegories. In "Non-Overwhelming Summer," there are complex and mystical images that you want to study against the backdrop of a light summer mood. Here, "the tension of thin strings," and the movement of "the jingling of shackles," and "the royal throne," and "Siberian blizzards." Everyone will find something of their own immersing in these images.
Everyone knows that Nebohody is not a group for drunken dances on the table. Although the same song "Grandpa-heat" is written in a different mood, they have few such light songs. But it is "Non-Overwhelming Summer" that combines a light summer mood with their signature depth.
"Non-Overwhelming Summer" is not just a song but an exploration of the inner world of every person. Alexey Nebohodov understands what he is singing about, although the topic is not simple: about the meaning of being, accepting oneself, and seeking truth through internal conflicts. But your good friend Alexey Nebohodov will not let you get sad - after all, the song is summer: here is the heat, and the sun, and poplar fluff.
