There are few things that make us here at EQ jump with more joy than a brand new, shiny pop track. Don’t get it twisted, when it comes to pop we are all about it. Then, there is our Russian dream boy Sergey Lazarev. The pop gods tend to shine a bright light upon us when he releases a new song. Guess what? The world has turned shined that beautiful light upon us once again… Sergey has released a new song! Take a listen to ‘идеальны мир’ (Perfect World).
I know, I know. It’s another one we need to file in the “I wish this song was in English” category. Yet, with the help of our friends over at The Official Sergey Lazarev American Fan Club we were able to obtain an English translation. (Check it out below)
As we have said a million times before, Sergey is just a pop maestro. With, ‘Perfect World’ there are many great pop elements that come into play. The intro is an instant reminder of a classic rock track like ‘Winds of Change’ by Scorpions. By using that gentle guitar pluck there is an elevation of the meaning of the song: The world may be imperfect but we have the power to change it. Then, we’re introduced to an electronic element. That sound then takes it to a place where it isn’t as dark and allows a freeing dance vibe to take over. Instantly the song becomes classic Sergey.
With the translation of ‘Perfect World’ in front of us, this may be one of the most thought -provoking lyrical contents that we have seen Sergey sing in a while. It’s quite refreshing that we don’t have to wait until something tragic happens for an artist to send a message that we all can learn from. We look forward to a possible English version of the track. When we all can understand a song that has the power to lift us up.
Lyrics:
In the perfectly wrong world
Of strong women and sensitive men
The shadows of the best hopes got frozen/suspended
On the buttons/keys 911
Sometimes want so much to straighten the life
To be a rod for oneself and for us.
Not to be afraid, that the time is pointless
Not to be shy of cut off phrases.
Light in the eyes, there in the distance,
Zone of risk, we are clear/clean.
And we burn as sparks.
Refrain x2 :
My reality lights up like hundred of bonfires.
imperfect – perfect world.
I correct, as I can, God will excuse.
My perfect world.
We try to feel right
Rain of rocks from the fields we’ll collect.
Sadly we’re melting like wax without fire.
But we are desperately believing and waiting.
If only we were forgiven our joys.
Since we won’t forgive ourselves.
In the perfectly thought through world.
Of sensitive women and strong men.
Light in the eyes, there in the distance,
Zone of risk, we are clear/clean.
And we burn as sparks.
Refrain x4 :
My reality lights up like hundred of bonfires.
imperfect – perfect world.
I correct, as I can, God will excuse.
My perfect world.
