Five days later, and I’m still glowing from June 21st. My first big concert – and what a night it was.
Weeks of nervous anticipation led up to this. Sleepless nights wondering if anyone would come, if the new Russian songs would connect, if I could actually pull this off. ТехникаБезОпасности felt huge when I walked in for soundcheck, even though it’s intimate.
But then you started arriving. Familiar faces, new ones, people who’d been with me since the beginning. Someone yelled “ЛЕТНИЙ КРАШ!” before I even started. My heart almost exploded.
Opening with ТАМ ГДЕ ТЫ – hands shaking, voice trembling. Then Vitaly’s guitar came in for the bridge and everything clicked. I saw your faces light up, felt the room breathe with the music. That moment when performer and audience become one thing.
ЛЕТНИЙ КРАШ hit different live. You sang along! Actual people knew my words, felt them enough to remember them. The song Denis and I created during those random jam sessions became this living thing bouncing around the room.
Russian lyrics felt right in ways I never expected. No translation barrier between my heart and your ears. When I sing in Russian, it’s like talking to family.
The НА ВЕСЬ МИР title track made me cry while performing. Maria right there beside me, our voices weaving together live, the whole room feeling that collaboration magic. Two years of work crystallized into three minutes of pure connection.
My inspiration stays alive only because of people like you. Every encouraging message, every shared post, every person who showed up – you make this possible.
This wasn’t just a concert. This was proof that vulnerability creates community, that honest art finds its people, that taking scary creative risks sometimes leads to magic.
Still processing, still grateful, still can’t believe we did this.
