    Jinjer provides modern, progressive metal that doesn't have to be 10 minutes long to get it's point across. Tatiana is a gifted vocalist & poet destroying preconceived notions of heavy metal.

    This one was very much of a grower for me, and it has become one of my favourites. I think it's a masterpiece of composition and of musical and vocal ferocity, with perfectly matched lyrics. I think that the lines that best encapsulate the main lyrical theme are:
    Firе's burning all around us
    And all we feel is cold
    And obviously, the sentiment behind and the compelling imagery of dragging god by the beard to see what's going on on the dirty streets is unforgettable. Brilliant, powerful stuff.

      It was a grower for me too. The composition is ridiculous. It took a while for me to wrap my head around the complexity. Something clicked one day and now it's one of my favorites. Something about the first half/second half structure of it. The sinuous rollercoaster guitar toward the end of the first half was what first caught me. I always loved the neighbor/hater line--that does make me think of Ukraine/Russia. The passion she puts inn her voice in the second half is so intense and compelling. It's a killer.

    Very fun song/video, I've always felt this song doesn't receive enough credit for showcasing Tati's vocal range. The changes and utter tightness of the band is amazing too, and gots overlooked far too often. Knowing how Jinjer composes music and writes songs, is there any other lyricist and vocalist that could actually compose and perform a song to this musical composition than Tati? I think not, just anotheer testament to her talent and brilliance. Love Jinjer!

    You keep mentioning how tight they are, and let me tell you, they have performed 3 times in my city (Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺) and I have been there all 3 times (one also being a meet and greet, and front row-this night went on to be their recorded “alive in Melbourne” gig) and honestly, Eugene (bass) and Vlad (drums) become a single entity.. I have seen hundreds of artists live, but no one comes close to Jinjer for how tight they are live…

      @@VocalCitizen one of the many things I love about Rush is the attention they paid to their tones. Each of them was a total tone maestro. Geddy has been my bass tone reference point for 46 years. He was the innovator for amp-less bass performance.
      I feel like Jinjer goes even one better. Geddy cared a lot about his vocal tone. But Tatiana is on another level as a vocalist. She can do things with her voice that most singers can only dream about. And her tones just keep getting better and better. She's aging like fine wine.

    There is a video somewhere of some of the making of this video where you see that some of the scenes in the second half were shot by a guy with a camera whipping around on an electric scooter.
    Once again we go back to Pisces as they are considered mediators between the light and dark parts of humanity. The first verse a beautiful blue dress and wanting nothing but good and then reality sets in where she ends up wishing she could grab God by the beard and drag him down to the dirty streets to see them. I don't think you can ever or will ever be able to separate Tatiana's life outlook from what is happening in Ukraine but of course she's a bigger thinker than just that.
    All this of course from lyrics because as we know the music is always written before which makes it all the more amazing when the song comes to life. I'm hoping you can do that drum playthrough now. I think you'll enjoy it.
