E. J. P. I've waited nearly 6 years for Groosha's new album, and when I saw the email notification I had to pinch myself! 'Left the Town' diverges from the first album by featuring purely piano and vocals; a surprising change, but not unwelcome as the alluring voice and lyrics that captivated me all those years ago have returned. Favorite track: Left the Town.

Here’s the future that I found Lost and scattered on the ground How do I undo what’s done? Everybody grew up and left the town Everybody grew up and left the town It almost seems absurd How I cannot forget this I’ll sing the final words Until you say them back to me Here’s the future that I found Buried six feet underground How do I undo what’s done? Everybody grew up and left the town Everybody grew up and left the town.

Тысяча радостей уплыли Тысяча радостей уплыли Туда, где мы были другие Где мы были одно И нам за ними не угнаться Тысячи снов уже не снятся Тому, кто жил этими снами Сейчас или никогда. Ты в раскаленное солнце стреляй, стреляй За разговорами время свое теряй Wonderful people who we are all bound to be Looking at you, looking at me I’m seeing off the light of day Trying to understand whatever it has to say Beautiful nonsense The day dying on me And I remember what we shared Millions of instances of something that wasn’t there Beautiful nonsense But we didn’t seem to care Ты в раскаленное солнце стреляй, стреляй За разговорами время свое теряй Wonderful people who we are all bound to be Looking at you, looking at me Ты в раскаленное сердце стреляй, стреляй За разговорами время свое теряй Wonderful people who we are all bound to be Looking at you, looking at me Translation: Thousands of joys have floated away Thousands of joys have floated away To the place where we had been different To the place where we had been a whole And we can’t catch up with them Thousands of dreams stopped coming To those who had lived by those dreams It’s now or never Keep shooting into the red-hot sun Keep wasting time in conversations

Fire Bird 02:11
Как женщина несет в себе дитя Как лилия колышется в пруду Меня качает темная волна И я к тебе по памяти плыву Как длань, что закрывает города Бессонницей разлепленные веки Меня укроет талая вода Расступится, поглотит без следа И там тебе приснится Каленая жар-птица Перо ее звезда Глаза ее пустыня Translation: Like a woman carrying a child inside Like a water lily swaying in the pond I am being undulated by a dark wave And by memory, I am swimming towards you Like the palm of the hand covering cities The eyelids set apart by insomnia I will be hidden by the melted waters They will part and swallow me leaving no trace And there you will dream of a red-hot firebird Her feathers like stars Her eyes like the desert

Isn’t it weird how things evolve You never knew you were falling in love Who brought you here? Who left you here To sway in the warm subway air? Think of the ocean breeze in your hair You spend your life in commuter’s despair You’re what you eat You’re where you sit Perfectly simple, yet I feel like shit I wish I were fun just like you Sadness has nothing on you Think of the ocean breeze in your hair You spend your life in commuter’s despair Think of the ocean now breeze in your hair

Love 02:52
Love, the word, the pain, the shame The lover’s empty-handed gain I took my time, made up my mind To throw it down the whirling drain Oh you must know this well Thirst can drag one down the well Hold my face against the light Tell me how you tried Tell me how you tried Mind your lies and mind your step With all that gravity can help Through the darkness shone the star But I could not reach out my hand Oh you must know me well Thirst can drag me down the well Hold my face against the light Tell me how you tried Tell me how you tried Tell me how you tried Love Love Love

Zima 02:50
Солнце заходит за серую мглу Я без тебя больше жить не могу Бьется сердечко в надежде Все у нас будет как прежде Солнце заходит за серую мглу Я за тобою по снегу пойду Не запугаешь метелью Вот приворотное зелье Выпей, мой милый, даст тебе силы оно. Сон за тобою погонится тенью Рыжая смерть не отменит цветенья весны Там, где мы будем Пусть этот день нас простит и забудет Простит и забудет Translation: The sun is descending into the gray haze I can’t live without you anymore My little heart is beating with hope That everything will be as it used to be The sun is descending into the gray haze I will follow you through the snow The blizzard won't scare me Here’s the love potion Drink it, my dear, it will give you strength The dream will chase you like a shadow The red-haired death cannot undo The flourishing of spring In the place where we will be Let this day forgive and forget us Forgive and forget us

Took the road to the sea Drove as far as I could see Distant light, drops of rain I will never be the same (be the same) All the words that you said Carried wisdom, carried weight What did I have at stake? One more promise left to break (left to break) I don’t know how to express the pain that comes with happiness I don’t know how to suppress the pain that comes with happiness I don’t know how to express the pain the comes with happiness Do you? Please tell me what I have to do Driving down the road that’s never ending Understanding, understanding Further down the road the light is bending Understanding all along

Major Minor 02:32
It’s hard to write a happy song on purpose And I’m so bad at writing happy songs But here I’ve got a wishful tune I hope the lyrics will come soon But now it’s what it is and I’ll just sing it Well some might say it’s not exactly happy But major with no minor is no fun So here I got a wishful tune I hope the lyrics will come soon But now it’s what it is and I’ll just play it as I please
