Leningrad Cowboys - Leningrad

One of the best Leningrad Cowboys song. Finland Forever. Hyvä Suomi!

[@ПавелШутов-у3ъ]

Благодарю за прекрасную песню.

[@sapeteus]

One of the top Finnish rock bands.

[@visotrom5712]

One of them

[@LitagoYoghurt]

THE GUITAR SOLO IS SO FREAKING AMAZING!

[@Jaksu74]

its amazing. i think its Ben Granfelt who plauys guitar?

[@Niki0815]

he's such a good voice man... amazing!

[@ActionableFreedom]

This is not satire, this is not just nostalgia, this is not some praise of the USSR: This is simply remembrance of a foregone past for which some people had high hopes but that suddenly just disappeared. A good song like this but in a more modern, pop like fashion is "building blocks" (The Tetris song)...same thing there.

[@tigerpenguin6274]

What song are u talking about?

[@ActionableFreedom]

[@karttune]

This is one of my favourite finnish songs. Leningrad cowboys are just so best !

[@Andreas-yi7uz]

still a great song - Best Regards from Austria

[@MotorSystem]

Jore Marjaranta was the greatest singer of the Leningrad Cowboys. He would never get so far in his own career if he would'nt be a singer of LC.

[@adrift111]

Leningrad Cowboys on kyllä helvetin kovaa kamaa :D Tulee mahtava fiilis kun kuuntelee näitä.

[@poet1972]

Great songwriting. Guitar solo is outstanding. CCCP?Finland? Rock?Metal? Doesn‘t matter, in the end we‘re all rockin’ cowboys.

Is been a few years since discovering this incredible song, but I got to say, now at the end of 2022- Christmas- I look at it in a whole different light. Is this the future of the USA ? Shook me to the core.

The same scarry shift is going on in my Sweden right now

bellissima canzone...ce ne fossero di cosi belle!!!

So long, so very long, so long since I've seen my hometown I'm coming home. Now I'm coming home. I'm coming home. To the place I call my own. You're in my soul. I can't explain how much you mean to me.

Epic solo

[@seriousspears]

the footage of the Russian revolution gives me goosebumps. amazing.

[@MsMorko]

If you don't know history, you can't understand the present and future. So if this music gets someone to learn something, it has more than fulfilled its aim, not just entertainment. Besides, this is a beautiful song! Hello to Piter from your friendly neighbours!

[@Mammathus]

Growing up in the "Cold War" in the USA I have been delighted by every song I'ved viewed by this group. However, this song made me weep. Satire? I have never found mass extermination much of a satirical topic. The Lenigrad Cowboys are the best at what they do. Thank you guys!!! And much thanks to commentor who wrote "even Stalin died under Stalin."

[@MsShane42]

one of the best groups i seen live at glastonbury

[@Commiton]

Wow. Another fan of Leningrad Cowboys is made! Give me back my Leningrad.

[@paracite]

#1:31 "OH NOOOOE, they're gonna name my home ST.PETERSBURG. What's goin' on? What's goin' on?!" Total and thoroughly epic.

[@tonikivenmaki6980]

One of the best and epic song ever

[@LeningradVesnushka]

A stunningly beautiful and heartfelt song! It tears the soul! The best Rock song is about what the loyal Leningraders felt in the early 90s. And it's just amazing that the Finns wrote this song, so subtly and accurately conveying that anguish. I, as a Leningrader and an old metalhead, thank the Leningrad Cowboys band for this song, for the album Go Space, and for their creativity in general! Bravo and thank you! 👏🏻✊🏻🤝🏻😊🤘🏻

[@winkerdude]

Brilliant and chilling.

[@Junsq1]

Solo just melted my face...

[@jarnostalhane]

Another great solo from Ben Granfelt! and a great song too. Ben&Jore made the best LC songs for sure..

[@sledheadjd]

I disagree about it being about the Revolution of 1917. The city of St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 by Peter the 1st as a new capital city. The city was also known as Petrograd from 1914 to 1924. But the name Leningrad was officially adopted by the new communist government from 1924 until 91. So...saying "give me back my Leningrad" is in reference to it being changed back to its original name of St. Petersburg in 91. As far as what the song means.. i have no idea. Just a little history les.

[@als683]

Super! Perfect! Give me back _my_ Leningrad! When I was a child!

[@Jensbjoern]

Gotta love the solo!!!

A Beautiful song!

Awesome solo. Beautiful

[@givensplay7505]

Nostalgic for a time that was not as it was supposed to be. Hopes of the masses. I can relate but from a different time here.

[@billrosmus6734]

The song is excellent. The video gives the meaning, opposite to the words. Where are all my friends (hanging from rafters and windmills). Dark and a good piece of music and poetry.

[@Beatmania777]

I've only heard a few amazing songs. This made the list.

Can you say your comment In english or finnish, I want to hear what you think about this song

[@MrListwin]

@@jukkat6572 What a splendor! I want to listen again and again!

[@bentonjennings]

Well..actually the Leningrad Cowboys are from Finland. The band was born out of a Finnish comedy movie made over 15 years ago called Leningrad Cowboys Go America. The members have changed over the years but still carry on the same concept: great music in a comedic mode. The video and song are in that same venue - it is a parody.

[@Onlyoneofoldeurope]

thank you for posting. regards from western germany.

[@yafmaverick]

Great song, fantastic lyrics, one of a kind

[@allcatslover]

superba piesa!

[@princesslehaha]

Lisää! I listen to this all the time, gives me chills! Whatever the political implications may or may not be, it's a beautiful song, melodically and lyrically. I wish these guys would come to Canada.

[@tunari55]

awesome song, Leningrad cowboys rock!

[@U1957FIN]

Luthien, the sad tone in the song and the true film material are about sympathy towards the suffering neighbors. The people in Russia have suffered a lot under its emperors, communism and many will definitely suffer under Mr. Putin, too. Leningrad Cowboys is a satire comedy rock band from Finland founded in 1986 when the again and again very unpleasantly acting neighbor was called the Soviet Union.

[@CaptCanuck6]

this is a nice video. i love the singing and the old videos

[@Luxiscute]

Amazing song.

Leningrad cowboy give met gladness.Even parakeet topknot and ducktail songs pathos tales.

[@matmax426]

[@LanzmanJan]

Beautiful Song!

[@TheHanswurstl]

@kayjay83 I think it is about the feelings of someone coming back to his hometown St. Petersburg after the fall of the iron curtain in the early 1990´s only knowing the city past (his Leningrad) and finding something completely diffrent.

[@jukkakannasoja1476]

I might not like the song itself that much, but that solo is fucking KILLER!

[@dav1208]

great song, i love it

[@guikom]

fantastic

[@bentonjennings]

It is sad that this needs to be reminded to a large number who view this -- the video is by the Leningrad Cowboys, a Finnish rock-comedy band who began life with the comedic Finnish film, "Leningrad Cowboys Go America". This video is a satirical/comedic analogy. It is bloody good musically, but still -- it is SATIRE.

[@ToniRuottu]

It has layers.

[@dex1lsp]

I love Leningrad Cowboys, and I hate to burst your bubble, but Green Day was formed in '87 (I should know, being a Bay Area native) and Leningrad Cowboys was formed two years LATER in '89. Close, but not quite.

[@frontbox97]

This song conveys exactly what I feel right now about my city and my friends and families. And Im sure you do too.

[@marttipaakko7384]

täälä oli tuommosta kans sii suomessa

[@santzia]

The pictures are from during WW2. When Leningrad was cut off from the rest of Russia by German troops. They resorted to cannibalism due to not being able to find any food. This song always makes me tear eyed.

[@AlexCSharp]

Many of them not from WW2, it's around october revolution of 1917 mostly, +-.

[@Joonavainio]

@kittypie070 Nice touch. Pilots are a special brother/sisterhood that knows no boundaries. And so are people, just people, in general. I told you earlier I literally cried over the stories of Mannerheim Cross Knights. One particularly touching part was when this one guy described how Soviet soldiers saluted them when leaving the territory we never actually lost by warfare. They respected each others as soldiers. As people. Who the fuck should care what Stalin or Molotov say?

[@Mikey84]

Yes, yes, I know. The reason why they became famous was the co-operation with Red Army which started in the 1990s. Before this they were quite unknown. Sorry if I was not exact enough in my post, since this is what I meant for saying "unknown band". And I live in Finland, so I know exactly it's location in Europe :)

[@yoloswag_8172]

Varmaan paras suomalainen kitara solo, might just be the best finnish guitar solo

[@user-jj1bp3es3j]

Song is great (reflects my feelings 100%), but the video is complete nonsense with nothing related to my hometown Leningrad. Used to be another video with real videos from Leningrad. That was much much better. I guess the Leningrad Cowboys objected it, so I cannot find it on KZbin anymore.

[@hakkapelitta509]

His name is Jore Marjaranta

[@DloveofurLIFE]

Gobachov was a total reformist. He was not a communist at all. He wasnt trying to make communism work, he wanted to dissolve it completely. He has a speech on his intentions. Read it if you can find it.

[@inevitablethursday]

Leningrad Cowboys kicks serious ass.

[@bourel123]

Très bon. J'ai partagé cette vidéo aux amis. Very good. I just sent this to my friends. I ignored that Leningrad Cowboys were so good and cool.

[@falsterbo86]

Fantastic

[@Joonavainio]

@InhumanEnglishman666 As for Blues Brothers, something like that. As for Finnish/Russian, they are not Russian at all, but strictly Finnish. They have occasionally performed with the Red Army Choir for laughs, though.
