Shortparis, ruski eksperimentalni bend osnovan 2012. godine u Sankt Peterburgu objavili su antiratnu pjesmu “Vrt jabuka”. Spot za pjesmu snimljen je tri dana prije rata u Ukrajini. U spotu se pojavljuje Zbor veterana koji su se borili protiv nacista u Drugom svjetskom ratu vjerujući da je to zadnji rat. Grupa je trebala nastupiti u Močvari ali je koncert otkazan. Pjevač Nikolaj Komiagin (kojeg zovu i ruskim Ianom Curtisom) bio je uhičen na antiratnom protestu piše louderthanwar.
Prijevod teksta pjesme na engleski:
Oh, my sorrow
I wasn’t here
Where is the limit, edges?
Who saw it?
And who do you belong now, who?
And who do you belong now, who?
[Chorus]
Big country sleeping
Evening seems to be eternal
And above the Kremlins church
Wind is rising, ah
[Verse]
Fish is looking for fishnets
Body is looking for events
Bullet became much smarter
After a series of bloodsheds
And a soldier on the street
Eating pastry, enjoying sweets
He is your son and your brother
Apple orchard blooming with honey
[Bridge]
Oh, my sorrow
Who’ll answer
Where is the limit, edges?
Who saw it?
And where this snake is going?
Who saw it?
And who do you belong now, who?
[Chorus]
My homeland sleeping
Evening – crippled
And above the Kremlins church
Ash is rising
And a soldier on the street
Eating pastry, enjoying sweets
He is your son and your brother
Apple orchard blooming with blood
[Outro]
Oh, my sorrow
I wasn’t here
Where is the limit, edges?
Who saw it?
And who do you belong now, who?
You are ash now
