some will argue about 
Yes, it is said, that the music is universal language. The music doesn't need a translation.But the Mendelssohn's march is a special music, of course. In some countries at least. In our country.
Thank you.
"Je ne regrette rien"? Well, at least, it is a very strong and good song.
I am not sure (I don't want to lie), but it seems this song is the most popular among children, who come to the Russian "Voice. Kids". We had 3 seasons of this project, and 7 girls were singing "Je ne regrette rien" (at least).
Many of these names are not very Russian... There are many nations in Russia.
They all are our children.

I am too lazy to watch the adult "Voice", but children are ravishingly mighty!
One more French song. For 2 reasons. I think this is one of the most beautiful perfomances, which we had in this project. And this girl is from Chechnya. Our relations with Chechens are not so bad now, but it is important to make these relations better. I like how she says it: "Chechnya, Grozny!"

Our children also sing "Hallelujah", but they sing not a love song (nothing about "tying to a kitchen chair"). On the first video the text is absolutely changed, on the second video the children sing in 3 languages.

John Farnham's "You're the Voice" - one of the most inspirational, powerful songs of all time. Listen to his voice, and understand...we're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son...

My Iz, the gentle giant. R.I.P. "We Are the World" still brings a tear to my eye too!
I knew nothing about Averbukh's new LP, when I started this thread...
Averbukh says: "we really care about the same things".
The Russians really need to be united, and not only with other Russians...
It doesn't mean, that Averbukh's new LP will be good,
but I want to show two more very gentle and very important songs.
The first song is "The cranes".
text: Rasul Gamzatov (USSR)
translated into Russian by Naum Grebnev
music: Yan Frenkel
This song says:
"It seems to me sometimes, that the soldiers, who didn't come back from the bloody fields, were not buried in our ground, but turned into white cranes..."
the video (make sure, that the subtitles are switched on)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THeGsS_Skew
The second one is "The Victory Day"
We listened to it at school (it was my third year at school or even earlier).
And I remember, that these words really impressed me:
This is a celebration with gray hair on our heads,
This is a gladness with tears in our eyes...
I think I felt, that gray hair is gray forever. I don't remember, what I knew about the war. The teacher was telling us about Kosmodemyanskaya. Kosmodemyanskaya's death was awful, but I don't remember, what our teacher told about her. Sure the teacher knew, that she speaks with children.
I heard this song again and again, but for many years I remembered only these words: gray hair, gladness, tears. And the words "The Victory Day", of course.
This song is translated, but it is a pity, that the most important words are not saved in the translation. "Sadness" is not the right word. I didn't see the war, but it is not "sadness", when I nearly can't breath, when I nearly cry, yet I smile.
Anyway, this song is beautiful:

(Actually, a nice company of Russians. Averbukh is a Jewish name, Tutberidze is a Georgian name. And Medvedeva's name wasn't Russian too, her name was Armenian. They all are people of Russian culture, united by our language, our songs, our history...)

This is a song that brought me through childhood and helped my generation,
C-Block - So Strung Out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5dWnsTTyII
The female hookline meant so much for people around my age back then and it still means a lot today.

Song that unites the world? Hands down IMAGINE
I always found it interesting that a song that starts by asking its listeners to imagine there is no heaven is so often seen as this great spiritual unifier. Karl Marx would love it!
IMAGINE
I trust in God, but I think these words are right.
I think we shouldn't just hope, that our life will become good after our death. This world can be good. Actually, this world is perfect.
One good teacher was asked: "Do you believe, that life without orphan homes is possible?" He answered: "You remind me that song: All the life is ahead, do hope and wait!.. Why should we believe or wait? We should do it."

For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
Not exactly an upbeat song; the unofficial anthem for the anti-Viet Nam war movement. Written in 1967 it still resonates today... Just wondering if any one is listening.

Thank you very much. I listen everything here.
To say the truth, I am not sure, that I like this song, but this is interesting for me. Thank you.
I think we need one more happy song.
This song about polar bears making the world go round is translated too.

It is the song from our nice comedy movie.
I think it is hard not to know it, if one lives in Russia.
A short piece from the movie (with this song):

Thanks for your input. I agree it is not a happy or pleasant song but it did unite a generation who were decidedly again the war in Viet Nam.
