Their style has shifted a bit since their debut --- perhaps you just favor their dance-pop style over the quasi-EBM/new wave style they're using now?

I became a fan before their first English album was released, so I obviously don't mind their old stuff, but their new direction makes me very, very happy. I can definitely see how some older fans could dislike it, though.

I much prefer Beliy (blahblah) to White Robe. Is it just me or is their accent really heavy in White Robe? Usually I don't notice it but I could barely understand what they were saying. =\

I love their accents when they sing in english lol :D
It makes the song have a more...idk, a nice feel to it.
And I always love reading the Russian translations of their songs. The lyrics are always so great!

i prefer beliy plashik i dont know white robe is just bleh i can't understand what are they talking about x_x

I'm probably alone in this, I actually prefer White Robe to Beliy Plaschik, and it's not because it's in English XD

Have you guys seen the uncensored version of the BP video?

me too.. i really like beliy plashiyk but i still love dangerous & moving more than that

their accents are so cute! and yes, the russian lyrics aren't your average pop song lyrics! quite an interesting read!

have to agree Northener -- their style has shifted over the years, and while i love their more recent stuff (LI D&M & onwards) i do miss the style of their older stuff (show me love, clowns)

what does everyone think of the BP remixes? so far i'm loving the No Mercy Remix -- love the guitar in the beginning, gives the song such a desolate feeling... thats one of my favourite things about t.A.T.u. -- they make such kick-ass remixes!

Beli Plaschik Instrumental (fan made?) - MF
White Robe (ibbi dance remix) - MF

I kind of wish there were some 220 remixes. I'm already burned out a bit on BP.

I think the Marsiano remix is my favorite. It reminds me of the Fly Dream remixes. It could be a little rougher though and not as soft. The No Mercy remix is also on the top for me.

I think their English is pretty rusty, actually. Lena was always a bit better than Yulia, but now they're both a bit mediocre...

Here are the lyrics as I hear them, as cryptic in meaning as ever.

t.A.T.u - White Robe

Feeling ugly, looking pretty.
Yellow ribbons, black graffiti.
Word is written, bond is broken.
No big secret left unspoken.
Sun is painted in the corner,
But it's never getting warmer.
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.



Notes:

*1: I also hear "paragliding", which is a cool image, but a very, very uncommon word in music. t.A.T.u are known for saying uncommon things, though, so it's always a possibility.

*2: I also hear "Form a body, future spirit". Interesting concept.

I think those lyrics look pretty accurate :)
But I hear "Former body, future spirit." but, yours also could be right.
And also, it does actually sound like they're saying "Paragliding"
Who knows LOL

i think "former body future spirit" makes more sense. I love the way there little one-liners are all so complex and have so many interpretations!

i wonder who wrote the lyric.
very great lyric

Yeah, me too!
Theyre lyrics are always so simple and yet complex, and they make me love their songs even more. :)

Has everyone seen this?
Sorry if it's been posted before. .
