Could have been narrated by a few of my relatives. The first one you posted is from the Civil War of 1918-1921 though, not the Great Patriotic.

silent thunder Posted February 15, 2020 @Taomeow about 25 years ago... I was hanging out with my Ukrainian buddy. He was playing a Russian folk song and I became overwhelmed by sadness, it was sudden, intense and brought on tears. I asked him what the song was about. This is what I recall. "It's called Black Roses. It's about the Afghanistan war and the black roses that are being brought home to be planted in their graves... the sons sent off to the war, coming home black roses." Do you know this song? Perhaps it was Black Tulips? anyway, it was a visceral and deep resonation from a language I have no local awareness of, but fully connected with, in spirit. I'd love to hear it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to hear it again. Ah, yes, it's a heartbreaking antiwar song about Afghanistan. You are very perceptive! It's not exactly a folk song... and not a mainstream one. In between we have a tradition of songs created and performed by authors, very widespread and deeply rooted in the culture. It has produced many outstanding talents over the decades. We call them "bards" -- like the Medieval poet-composer-storyteller-oral historian professionals. In America it's perhaps Bob Dylan who comes somewhat close but it's not the same. At some point some of our bards also started going commercial, to varying extents, but most of the time most of them created outside the officialdom and often against it and sometimes in a dangerous conflict with it. The song you heard is Black Tulips, by one of those bards, Alexander Rosenbaum. I happen to have met him once, he wasn't famous yet (he later did become famous and somewhat commercial), he was a classmate of my best friend at the then-Leningrad medical school, though already a professional bard at the time I met him, not a doctor anymore. Here's the song -- it starts at 0:40 Edited February 15, 2020 by Taomeow 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's the song -- it starts at 0:40 The experience really rocked my buddy and I both... know nothing of russian, but it was like a thunderbolt through me, hearing that song. He took it in stride though. Though a stout pragmatist, he was unphased by the spiritual when it arose... just shrugged and accepted it. The bard tradition you describe in Russia... sounds very familiar. The Skalds of the Nordic folk were central to life and inspired deep admiration and adoration for their songs and stories. Must be a symptom of looooong winters held in tight quarters to develop a deep tradition of song and storytelling. My acting and singing days came naturally to me, unsought, it was a driving force of my life for a couple decades. So much lives in the blood.
