Вольный перевод с английского:
“Без 25 или без 26 минут 4”
(Песня о том, как мучительной порой сочиняются песни)
Дожидаюсь рассвета
Подыскиваю нужные слова
Свет мигалок рассекает небо за окном
Я сдаюсь и закрываю глаза
Сижу на полу с поджатым ногами
Без 25 или без 26 минут 4
Поднимаюсь, чтобы умыться
Просто стараюсь не заснуть
Слепо уставившись в одну точку
Удивляюсь, сколько я еще могу выдержать
Должен ли я сделать что-то ещё?
Без 25 или без 26 минут 4
Чувствую, что мне нужно поспать
Перед глазами всё идёт кругом
Ищу, что сказать
Жду рассвета
Без 25 или без 26 минут 4

Sergey was a natural, super talented guitarist, with the guitar seemingly a permanent part of him. Missing him and Serge, two incredible people. These guys speak very little English, with the exception of Leonid's son, yet their pronunciation is almost perfect while singing. I'm still awed that Russians are honoring an American band. Leonid's story of growing up under communism is inspiring.

My god, what the hell did I just watch?? This is flat-out the most perfect replication of Chicago tune in history. It is more accurate then anything Chicago themselves ever did. Every single nuance and micro nuance of Peter cetera's original vocals has been accurately replicated here.... and unbelievably, Terry kath's original epic solo has been completely replicated to the last note and nuance. I'm completely in shock and awestruck.

I have saved every, single one of Leonid & Friends songs as my "favorites!" I've played the trumpet for more than 30 years and the way Andrey Zyl plays high C's, and high G's effortlessly, left me breathless! I've NEVER heard a more together band in my life. I also agree with those who say that "these guys are not a cover band, they're the real thing" are absolutely correct! I grew up listening to Chicago and EW&F and I'm almost ashamed to say that I enjoy the way Leonid & Friends sound than I do the originals!

@@acousticsong-guitarco964 Hey, some people can parrot in foreign languages quite well-- remember that a lot of British Prog Rock bands of the 60s and 70s were often mistaken for American bands because of their many times nearly non-existent British English accent in their singing!

@rockhead1428 3 жыл бұрын
I CANNOT stop watching & listening to this group! Since I ‘discovered’ them, here on KZfaq, 2 weeks ago I’ve played their entire catalog over & over (& over ...). As both a vocalist & horn player growing up in the ‘60s & ‘70’s in America I was obsessed with the great horn bands like Chicago; Blood Sweat & Tears; Earth, Wind & Fire, et. al.. I marvel at the exquisite musicianship displayed by all of these immensely talented people and only wish I could could ‘sit in’ with them! Leonid’s ability to cipher these tracks - BY EAR - is reminiscent of the scene in ‘Amadeus’ (movie about Mozart) where Mozart hears Salieri’s march played once by the Emperor Joseph II ... which leads to Mozart sitting down and playing it and then running many variations off with ease. Okay, back to the present from my obscure movie reference ... Leonid & Friends musicianship, obvious passion and enjoyment of playing keystone music from my youth has brought tremendous joy to me in what has been (like so many I suspect) one of the most difficult years of my 60 year-old life! (2020) I am a disabled Veteran living in chronic pain and fatigue from Parkinson’s disease. My medical providers encouraged me to return to my musical & artistic youthful endeavors for ‘Neuroplasticity’ ... and it’s been one of the most effective means of pushing back on chronic pain and keeps me from falling into the twin abyss of dopamine deficiency induced Anxiety & Depression. I, however, hit a very rough spot, 3 months ago and stopped painting and playing my music. That is ... UNTIL I heard Leonid & Friend’s opening riffs of Chicago’s “Make Me Smile”. ... which, in a profound way they did! Thank you so very much to all of you in Leonid & Friends for returning music, joy and hope back into my life!
