The Official t.A.T.u Thread

[Northerner]

Does anyone here have the demo versions of "Chelovechki," "Vremya Luni," or "Snegopady?" I'm sick of going to YouTube whenever I want to get my new!t.A.T.u. fix.

And yes, I am aware that they're not singing on the demo of "Snegopady." I love the melody anyway.

EDIT: Nevermind! I found them on the tatysite.net forum.

[Shiso]

I just received autographed copy od the "Bielyi Plaschik / White Robe" single. And can finally figure out what they are singing in the english version of the song:

Sun is painted in the corner,

All the lies they keep on selling,
But you never check the spelling.

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven. *1

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven.

Time is running, we are sitting.
Back together just for splitting.
You are crying in the corner.
Always next and never former.
Open up and let me hear it.
From a body, future spirit.*2
Brain is useless, chair is rocking.
Open doors for dead men walking.

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven.

Flying bullets hit the targets.
Wings and halos, five to seven.
In this white robe, through the darkness,
They are gliding back to heaven.

It's nearly perfect, You are great to hear the whole lyrics this well.

The only differences:

They are gliding back to heaven - Paragliding back to heaven (just like You thought)
From a body, future spirit - Former body, future spirit
In this white robe - In these white robes

220 on yourself

220 on yourself
220 on her

You’re teaching me to wait
And telling me those funny phrases
But I want to give it all away
If it’s love then it's all at a time (at one blow)

220 on yourself
Wrap around yourself and go
220 on yourself
220 on her

You won’t understand it in a dream
If it’s love then everything just burns away
Little rabbits on the wall

Are dying after the sunset
220 on yourself
Wrap around yourself and go
220 on yourself
220 on her "

Thanks for posting this translation. I've been searching for it.

I wonder if the new album will be released this year... I really wanna purchase it and hear all of the songs ASAP :/

[Northerner]

I finally caved and ordered a few things from their official store! They got shipped on Friday and should be here in about two weeks.

I got...

- Autographed "Beliy Plaschik" EP (just like Shiso above)
- Autographed "The Best" CD+DVD in special oversized case

I'm so excited! If I like how they package these, I'll probably use the official store to get "Upravleniye Otbrosami" when it comes out. I like the idea of supporting the girls directly than going through an import merchant like RussianDVD.

They pack it in cool cardboard CD-boxes. I ordered two copies of the single (one for my friend) to check out the tatu store. I waited pretty long for the CDs to get shipped (two weeks) but once they were shipped they arrived at my place 3 days later (and I chose the standard shipping). I want the DVD version of their BEST too... probably will get it with the new album IF it's going to get released...SOMEDAY...

You must have ordered BP when it first came out, since I remember hearing about a shortage causing orders to get shipped really slowly. I ordered my stuff last Wednesday, and it only took two days for them to get it sent out.

Also, I'm glad to hear they package things well! I'm getting really impatient for the new album, but I'm not too mad because I remember that it also took FOREVER for "Lyudi Invalidy" to get released and that ended up being well worth the gazillion delays. I just needed something to tide me over until then, hence the new t.A.T.u. goodies.

[Fitst]

yea... I kind of have a feeling if/when we get the new albums it will get no promo. They will just release it on their web site for the fans and then that will be the end of t.A.T.u.

I hate to sound that way. But really, there is no reason for us to be getting NO news on them at all. They never really even "offically" pushed the album back, it was just never released.

[spookshow]

^ the album could be on hold because of Yulia's illness (which I don't think we've yet heard what it actually is - my guess is post-natal depression)

either way, i want it to leak!!!

[Fitst]

But didn't Lena say a few weeks ago in her blog that Yulia is all better now and if Yulia wants to say any more on the matter its up to her to do so?

[drewbilation]

yeah, I remember reading Lena's post about that. it was posted a bit over a month ago, too. I wish we'd get some kind of announcement about the album, though, even if it's just to say it's been delayed or whatever.

aaah ok, my bad -- i don't look too deeply for t.A.T.u. info lol

"POYUSHAYA DUSHA" featuring THE NEW SINGLE "SNEGOPADY."

OMGWTFBBQ!

[Fitst]

^^ you lost me. lol

Look at the pictures I linked to, they're from t.A.T.u.'s latest (this week) show in Moscow. There is a mysterious CD in one of the shots from Parviz Yasinov's car called "Poyushaya Dusha" ("Singing Soul"). It's been speculated that it's a promo copy of the new album and that the name has been changed from "Upravleniye Otbrosami." Obviously, a name and design change would cause the album to be delayed.

So, is it a test copy? A promo? A total red herring meant to throw us off? Who knows.

[Fitst]

Oh! I would like that title. I don't like how their albums (english and russian) overlap so much. Even if the music is still similar, it would be nice to have totally different titles.

I was thinking that POYUSHAYA DUSHA was a band releasing t.A.T.u.'s song or something lol

LOL. how can it be delayed when there is NO release date set for these new albums?
t.A.T.u. is really starting to get on my nerve with the release of this album. D&M 's release was delayed... but not like this...

[Fitst]

To be fair, after D&M leaked online like 3 months before it was going to come out... they moved the album up a few weeks (and then blamed that on the poor sales/lack of promo) lol.

[Northerner]

It looks like we have a new release date for "Upravleniye Otbrosami" --- September 2, 2008.

The source was (apparently) Soyuz Records and was reported at two Russian music websites. The band's vKontakte (Russian Facebook) page was also updated with a new graphic yesterday (see attachment).

The same sources that quoted the release date also report that the album will include 10 songs. Judging from what we know, the confirmed tracks are probably:

{{Possible intro}}
1. Beliy Plaschik
2. 220
3. Snegopady (Yadom Stat)
4. Chelovechki
5. Vremya Luny
6. You and I
7. Ne Zhaley
8. Upravleniye Otbrosami

This leaves two unannounced songs. It was hinted earlier this year that the Russian album would only have one English song (presumably "You and I"), so if that's true we should expect two new Russian tracks. We do know about the "Poyushaya Dusha" rumor, of course, so that could definitely surface as one of them. Another rumor going around is something translated as "Only Say Not." Some fans over at Taty.ru speculate that "Fly On The Wall" will be included, but I'm not so sure.

[milky_way]

*prays* PLEASE PRETTY, PRETTY PLEASE BE TRUE!!!!!

[JimmyKoria]

"Singing Soul" sounds so awful. If this was old t.A.T.u. I'd say the cd placed in the car is fake, probably to stir rumors and get people a little more intrested. I mean people don't usually just leave something like that where it's visible?

I've kind of lost patients for t.A.T.u. at the moment. I don't even think I'm going to buy this album.

[Calico]

Whaaat only 10 songs? I hope that's not true...their songs/albums are short enough already. Even for them I want to feel like I'm getting my money's worth. =\
