B i o g r a p h y Russian
Red was THE indie spontaneous phenomenon in Spain in 2008 & 2009 and has become
one of Spain´s biggest artists in the past years; an extremely rare story of
success in Spain for an artist that plays folk-pop-rock and composes and sings
in English. After one year out of stages, Russian Red comes back with her
expected new second album. She started performing in small clubs of Madrid and
quickly moved to theaters and clubs all around the world doing live shows in
places like Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belgium
among others. Her singer Lourdes Hernández owns an exceptional voice and a
natural ability of transmitting and connecting with her public. Her first album
"I love your glasses", released through a small indie label called Eureka, sold
more than 40.000 copies achieving GOLD sales status. Between April 2008 and
December 2009, Russian Red performed over 200 concerts in the most important
festivals in Spain and Europe (FIB, Primavera Sound, Jazzaldia, Eurosonic, etc)
Awards like Pop eye to the "best album debut 2008", "best female voice 2009" or
her 3 nominations to the national music awards certify her success. At the same
time the expectation she has created has made film world, television and
advertisement give up to her charm. Her songs have become an essential part of
spots for great campaigns as Haagen Dazs, TV series and films as award winning
Camino and Room in Rome from Julio Medem. This last film has made her win a
nomination for the important Goya awards as the best song. |
Cigarettes
Now tell me what it is
It isn't fair 'cause
I'm wasting time
'Cause it isn't my heart
It isn’t my fault
And every situation understands, well
The anecdote
Of chasing the location to your door
'Cause I'm wasting time
Now I'm wasting money again
And all the cigarettes
That I have never smoked
And all the letters
That I have never sent
And he was sitting by the swimming pool
But he was scared
'Cause it wasn't his time, it wasn't his chance
Getting older’s not been on my plans but
It's never late, it's never late
Enough for me to stay
'Cause I'm wasting time
Now I'm wasting money again
And all the cigarettes
That I have never smoked
And all the letters
That I have never sent
No Past
Land
If my hands weren't there
Like I saw in the stream
Of the drawings been made
On a full colour screen
If they weren't to be found
Then what else could I be
If your hands weren't there
Like I saw in my dreams
And the poets we made
Had all gone, disappeared
Then what else
Then what else could I be
If your hands and my hands
Strolled together around
If they were to make friends
We'd be possibly up
To escape from this world
From this no past land
If I looked in the windows
While walking pass through
If I stared at the willows
With my seven black truths
If my eyes were to see
What belongs to your mind
If you'd like, keep perceiving
What lies on my back
And your eyes will shine
Through the glass of my wine
And the willows, the windows
The pillows, and your mouth
If your hands and my hands
Strolled together around
If they were to make friends
We'd be possibly up
To escape from this world
From this no past land
They Don't
Believe
Walk by the man who sings a song
To the streetlights
And turns out everybody claps
They don't believe in cabs
They don't believe in cabs
They don't believe in cabs
They don't believe in cabs
And they all go wild
But they walk instead
They all go wild
They walk instead
They all go wild
Now, talk to the man
Who's laying down
By the door of a bank
And people don't rely
On the traffic lights
They don't believe in lights
They don't believe in lights
They don't believe in lights
They don't believe
It's a confusing situation
They all get run over in
Petrol stations but they rock
But they rock, but they rock, but they rock
And there are faces on the six AM
Working crowds who take the subway
From their homes to their lonely nights
Walk by the man who sings a song
To the streetlights
And turns out everybody claps
They don't believe in cabs
They don't believe in
Walk by the man who sings a song
To the streetlights
And turns out everybody claps
They don't believe in cabs
They don't believe in cabs
Don't believe in cabs
Walk by the man who sings a song
To the streetlights
And turns out everybody claps
They don't believe in
Gone, Play
On
This never ending song is scratching
Scratching my brain
Like a vinyl in desire
This never ending thought
Is coming and is gone
It's travelling on a plane on my way
And in a highway too
As if I speak for you
And I say that you did those things
I did in the past it's true
And in a highway too
In a truck I do
Keep your stuff in my pocket
Just like I did with the days we flew
This never ending song
Is coming and is gone
It's travelling on a plane on my way
This never ending song
Is coming and is gone
It's travelling on a plane on my way
Gone, play on
Gone, play on
Oh gone, play on
Gone, play on
Gone, play on
Gone, play on
Oh gone, play on
Gone, play on
Hold It
Inside
I'm not taking
I'm not, I'm not fading
I'm not falling
You're not, you're not falling
'Cause you just hold it inside
You hold it inside
You hold it inside
I'm not feeling
I'm not, I'm not a missed ring
I'm just falling
Things that aren't
The hole that's been your life
The hole that's been their arm
And all your voices
And all and all your choices
And all my mechanisms to forget
Forget you, forget you
All inside I'm not, I'm not finding
Lies against this
Whole established order
That I found
Inside your little heart
Where I don't fit
You don't fit
We all don't fit
Nobody fits in there
I'm just fading away
Hold it inside
Hold it inside
Nice Trice
Feathers
She said hey
Won't you pick me up
He said, well
What about at nine
And she wakes up
It's freezing cold outside
But he's not there
Wherever he may fly
Barely aware of her reality
She stands right by the centre of the room
Feathers, she's got nice thick feathers she's put on
For she wanted to reach the violent kingdom
Feathers, she's got nice thick feathers she's put on
For she wanted to reach the violent kingdom
And every time
She steps on what she calls
The misery land
For only bats and cops
Forgets about
His kisses and his voice
He wore a suit
With labels at the front
Barely aware of her reality
She stands right by the centre of the room
Feathers, she's got nice thick feathers she's put on
For she wanted to reach the violent kingdom
Feathers, she's got nice thick feathers she's put on
For she wanted to reach the violent kingdom
Barely aware of their reality
She stands right by the centre of the room
Kiss My
Elbow
And every five minutes
I look at the door
And I see you naked
And there's a question
That comes up to my mind
I wonder whether you are blind
But if I, hmm hmm to find
It'd be the same old story
Time after time
Oh, oh, show me your eyes
Please do
Oh baby, show me your eyes
And every five minutes
I look at the door
And there you are with your clothes on
You changed this time
And you are kissing my elbow
Is that how you say it
I really have doubts and questions about
But if I, hmm hmm, I try to find
It'd be the same old story, story, story
Oh, oh, show me your eyes, please do
Oh baby, show me your eyes
Oh yeah, show me your eyes
Oh please do, oh baby, show me your eyes
And every five minutes
I look at the door
Take Me
Home
And it's your guitar that discovers you wild
For all I can see is the dark of a sky
And the plumbs in a glass jar of wine
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don't know
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don't know
How I got here, but now you
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don't know
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don't know
How I subsist
With candled up nights
And pure spirits
I don't know how
You dragged me here
And it's my guitar that discovers me blind
For all I can see is the clarity side
And the bones someone spat
On the trash from the plumbs
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don't know
Take me home, take me home, don't know
How I got here, but now you
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don't know
Take me home, take me home, don't know
How I subsist
With candled up nights
And pure spirits
I don't know how
How, how, how, how, I got here
And if you can call
The name of our hope
That probably means
I'm not there
Take me home, take me home, take me home, don't know
take me home, take me home, don't know how
Walls Are
Tired
Walls are tired
Of holding the same old ceilings
Words have found
Their way to stay in
And they don't let out feelings
It's written badly
But verses say she's mad and creepy
And the rest of things we kind of know
They say there'll never be
A girl like her again
With her socks up to her knees
And her obsession about bees
And with her eyes
That she uses to touch
And everything
Everything she looks at, yeah
Cups are tired
Of being filled with the same coffee
And the floor can't stand that
People stepping on won't even say sorry
They say there'll never be
A girl like her again
With her socks up to her knees
And her obsession about bees
And with her eyes
That she uses to touch
And everything
Everything she looks at, yeah
Don't stay longer
Don't stay longer
Don't stay longer
Don't stay, don't stay longer
Staring at her eyes

Timing Is
Crucial
I’m falling
I’m falling on my bed
That I got ready in my head
And how many times been to places
And places came to me
Now by the corner of my eye
I'm checking the mirrors upside down
And I thought
That timing is crucial
In the next step
Timing is crucial
Don’t believe the lies I said
I was just forcing myself
’Cause timing was crucial
In the next step
Now by the corner of my eye
I’m checking the mirrors upside
But they don’t seem to give reflections
Of what there is behind
The timing is crucial
In the next step
And timing is crucial
Don’t believe the lies I said
I was just forcing myself
’Cause timing was crucial
In the next step
Don’t forget the lies I said
I was just trying to help ourselves
’Cause timing had been crucial
From the very first step
Just Like
A Wall
On my way
Way to the stars
I found
You were there
Laying down
Next to a hole
Oh, hold me
You said
You had faith in God above
But it seemed
That you didn't believe in
In reality
In people on earth
In people to whom
You've given birth
And I forgot to call you
Well this is just what I do
And you stand there
Just like a wall that
I can't even try to talk to you
I wrote down all of your thoughts
Well, the ones you let me see
When you're not watching TV
You said you'd go for a walk
But that was three weeks ago and now
You spend your time counting the pages
Of a second hand bible
Pocket edition that you have
That you have
And I forgot to call you
This is just what I do
You stand there just like a wall that
I can't even try to talk to you.
And I forgot to call
This is just how I work
I stand there still like a photo on your hands
That you can't try to explain yourself
Girls
Just Want To Have Fun
( Cindy Lauper Cover )
I come home in the morning light
My mother says
"When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, mommy, dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls just wanna have fun
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
The phone rings
In the middle of the night,
My father yells "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh, daddy, dear, you know you're still number one
But girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun
Oh, girls
That's all they really want
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
Oh, girls, just wanna have fun
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
Girls, girls just wanna have fun
Girls just wanna have fun
Girls just wanna have fun

Everyday
Everynight
You were travelling really far
I had to stay in watch the plants
Be sorry
Miles away and planes apart
You were discovering a new land
I was lonely
You were young and I was sad
I just wanted to be by your side
Everyday, everynight, no more shall we part
Everyday, everynight, no more shall we part
You were dancing in my head
I played forever Last Year's Man
I'm sorry
Keep my trousers
Stay in bed and read the good things
I'm afraid now you're lonely
You were young and I was sad
I just wanted to be by your side
Everyday, everynight, no more shall we part
Everyday, everynight, no more shall we part
The Sun
The Trees
The sun fills the kitchen in my house
It's warm and cosy and it helps me breathe
And I wonder if you're making people laugh
'Cause you're funny
You're funny
The trees out of my window dance
Oh they do dance with the wind
And I wonder why, I wonder why
I wonder why, we are apart
'Cause we're funny
We're funny people
And beautiful inside
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
The clouds above hang over me
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
The sea goes quiet when the night is dark
With the lights reflected jump in from the sky
And I wonder if we'll see the moon walk by
'cause it's shining, it's shining
As it lights the shadows, see the moon walk by.
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
The clouds above hang over me
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
The sun, the trees, the moon, the sea
I Hate You
But I Love You
You were so high above in the sky
I just keep feeling like a little child
I hate you but I love you
I just can't take how beautiful you are
I hate to say this but my eyes go blind.
I hate you but I love you
My favourite song becomes a healing sign
I hate to say this but my eyes go blind
Oh you were so high above in the sky
Everytime I travel far I think about
By my side, to any of those places I cannot go back
I hate you but I love you
I just can't take how beautiful you are
I hate to say this but my eyes go blind
I hate you but I love you
My favourite song becomes a healing sign
I hate to say this but my eyes go blind
Braver Soldier
When a woman loves a man all she does is shout
When a woman loves a man all she is, is loud
Oh won't she, oh won't she, oh won't she
Be braver and solid and stranger to me
When a woman loves a man there's no lousy crowd
When a woman loves a man, well there's no hiding proud.
Oh won't she, oh won't she, oh won't she
Be braver and solid and stranger to me
Are they going to die? Well we're going to die
Some day and so we'll be standing up and holding hands
Sweating and dancing in shiny purple, shiny fields
And so it is...
It ain't going to die 'cause I changed my mind
Fuerteventura
You're always such a fool
And in your eyes so blue
I see the life I never had before
Do you remember when
We used to live things separate
We hadn't met or thought
That could be possible
I'm glad you had your life
So good to listen to your past
All of those things brought you
With me and now we're two
You're always such a fool
And in your eyes so blue
I see the life I never had before
You always talk so smooth
And in your voice, so true
I hear the dream
I never had before
But if I try to think
Of something better than this
Heaven comes down
And reminds the luck we live
You're always such a fool
And in your eyes so blue
I see the life I never had before
You always talk so smooth
And in your voice, so true
I hear the dream
I never had before

The Memory Is
Cruel
She's not coming home tonight
She says that she's left forever
And you're staying in the house
Where she's going to live forever
And the memory is cruel
It reminds there's no one new
Time is nothing but a lie
If she's not coming home tonight
And your sleep will never be as good as it used to be
When the one you love is gone
When the one you love is gone
While you're waiting for the sun
The space around you is very quiet
So you breathe in, close your eyes
You can feel her warmth inviting you to dance
She's cruel, she reminds there's no one new
Time is nothing but a lie if she's not coming home tonight
And your sleep will never be as good as it used to be
When the one you love is gone
When the one you love is gone
Tarantino
How I wish I had a loving man
Who could give me some joy
Who could give me some fun
How I wish you were fine
It shouldn't hurt you so much
To talk to me
You fill my life with desire
And I have given you so much
Of what you keep under your skin
You fill my life with desire
And I have given you so much
Of that touchless statue in your head
How you wish I was blind
I couldn't look in your eyes
And torture you
Hoy you wish I was fine
It should hurt me sometimes
To talk to you, to talk to you
You fill my life with desire
And I have given you so much
Of what you keep under your skin
You fill my life with desire
And I have given you so much
Of that touchless statue in your head
My Love Is
Gone
My love is gone, left me with both empty hands
My love will come in the glitter of a spark
Oh, you saved my life and went away
Glass and winter bones have distracted well my sight
As I'm waiting here the world's discovered one more time
Oh, you saved my life and went away
Oh, come save my life again
January
14th
You, you were really sweet that night
And you, you were dress in vinyl style
When I saw you I could only stop my dance
You, you were really someone new
Your pretty face reminded me of Robin Hood's
And when you stepped in I could only walk straight to you
Those were the times that we met
Those were the times: we were there
You, you were dancing to the beat
Your pretty eyes where the only thing to see
And when I walked in I started to believe
Those were the times that we met
Those were the times: we were there
Nick
Drake
I can't ignore this game, my dear
All your insinuations break me
I have a faint, slight idea
Of what is like your favourite nation
Hit me with one more kiss
You won't find a better miss
Or just keep wondering in your palace
You could as well take me for a flash dance
Every single night I'll sleep in silent sights
Not to disturb your dreaming
No more insinuations or fake idyllic nations
Will set me far from where you are
Each single, warming night
Oh, each single, warming night
A Hat
The point is still the silence of your words
I listen to you more
I listen to you hiding far from the crowd
In the middle of the cold
The point is still the silence for your voice
I listen to you more
I listen to you crawling right from the door
You don't even make a noise
Take for the falling rain a hat
Find another story to be told to your ears at night
Oh, my my
I pray every night, I was never this scared before
I wonder where the dark keeps you awake for someone new
Time is a friend of mine, but we always get into a fight
Whenever your name is brought up, even for good
Take for the falling rain a hat
Find another story to be told to your ears at night
Oh, my my...

Conquer The World
( Fuerteventura Deluxe ed. )
We were so young
But life is a murderer
We stayed very long
But light is a vanishing hope
I had in mind
To conquer the world by your side
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a
sin
Conducts very strange lately
'Cause heaven's in danger
For you and the rest
It's all true
If we die I lose
I had in mind
To conquer the world by your side
To conquer the world by your side
