PIESA DE REZISTENTA - Azi, Sting - RUSSIANS

Una dintre posibile variante straine a melodiei "Dimineti cu ferestre deschise", in ceea ce priveste mesajul este piesa lui STING - Russians.

Ea apare pe albumul de debut solo, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, lansat în 1985. Sting avertizează cu privire la repercusiunile Războiului Rece ("nu există un astfel de lucru ca un război castigator / E o minciuna nu mai cred"). De aceea, el speră că "ruşii îşi iubesc si ei copiii", deoarece el vede acest lucru ca singurul lucru care ar salva lumea de la un holocaust adus de armele nucleare ("jucaria mortala a lui Oppenheimer").

"Russians" foloseşte o temă din Kijé locotenent Suite de compozitorul rus Serghei Prokofiev.

Melodia a fost un hit în Franţa, unde a ajuns pe locul 2 pentru trei săptămâni şi a rămas în top 50 pentru 19 săptămâni.

Sting - Russians

In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria

Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
