Стрела – Burning Beautifully (Гореть красиво)

The song that hits with the sudden force of an arrow, and glows with the warmth of a bonfire. Гореть красиво (Burning Beautifully) by Стрела (Arrow) or Strela, from Lobnya, since 2017. Music that energizes, words that may do something different. Because look.

 

World on Fire

The world is on fire (Мир в огне) and what can you do about it. Or with whom.

Тут никого нет, there is no one here,
Мы смотрим на мир, we look at the world
Каждый для каждого, each for themselves
На то, как красиво горит, at how beautifully it burns.

Take a step (Делай шаг), into the darkness of the black night (в темноту чёрной ночи). We will go (мы пойдём) on our final journey (в свой последний путь) to the sound of trumpets (под звук труб).

From 2019, from Эпоха царей. Also released as a single: see Bandcamp, where you will also find full song lyrics.
One clip is static, and the other shows a world that doesn’t burn but shines. Very красиво.

Синий танец (Blue Dance, 2020, 2023)

Before, Стрела had a stronger, more unpolished sound. Hear Рассвет, Предки, and Биение from the album Грязь (2018). More accessible is Мы с тобой не пойдём домой, a single from 2019.

From 2020 is Чувство тревоги, including Возвращайся со мной, Омут грёз, and Холодные дни. From that same year is Синий танец (Blue Dance). Re-released on Не пойдём домой (2023).
