Svetlana Roerich: "I just got a call and was told that we were shooting for 'Palms'. I cried for a few days, asked not to put my last name next to it, because in the same album "Give me", in the same album "Night Moscow". As if in quality it seemed to me that there are more worthy songs to take a picture on them."

Story of the song "Palms."
The bright music video, the image of the seductive teacher and the funny words: all this comes to mind as soon as you hear the name of the song "Palms". In the late '90s, it enjoyed incredible success with listeners and audiences. For singer Svetlana Roerich, "Palms" was an important period in her life. Her name is forever affixed to this hit.
This song found its listener in 1997. By that time young and talented performer Svetlana Roerich had already managed to win popularity in her native Krasnoyarsk region. A little more than a year passed from the moment the singer moved to Moscow to the release of "Palms". The album of the same name included other compositions, but this light and cheerful song was destined to become a real hit.
Two hands – gentle cats,
And it's nighttime outside the window.
Two hands, gentle cats
You won't go away.
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there,
I'll be with you till morning.
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be by your side till morning.
Svetlana was on her way to Moscow as an established singer. If something had gone wrong, she could have easily returned to her native city, where she was loved by the public.
Svetlana Rerikh: "I didn't go there to spend the night at train stations, to hit some walls…Here, when everything adds up by itself: we found some money, we found people and that's it. Together we met in one place and made this project. I came in December '95, in April '96 the album "I waited for you" with the song "Give me music" was released. The work on the second album started at once, and "Palms" appeared on the air in the fall. And in the spring of '97 the album "Palms" and the music video "Palms" were released.
Initially nothing foretold the success of the composition. The singer started working on the second album with the song "The Scarlet Flower". "Palms" was recorded later. The new material was waiting for its moment of stardom. It was decided to check the song at the concert.
Svetlana Roerich: "It was all in the star city, as I remember now. I sang three or four songs in some assembled concert. I sang the on-air "Give Me Music" and "The Scarlet Flower". I sang "Palms" somewhere in the middle. But the way the audience accepted "Palms", hearing this song for the first time… After the performance we immediately began to put it in the end of all programs. It became clear that people were eating it up, this song.
Guys, who sings this song Two hands gentle cats, and it's night outside the window
The world is so big, you're so immodest,
But always humble under my hand.
Let the eyes laugh. It's worth touching,
You're different when you touch.
Two hands, gentle cats,
♪ And it's nighttime outside the window ♪
Two hands, gentle cats
You won't go away
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be with you till morning.
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be by your side till morning.
You're with others important, principles on guard,
But don't even think of being with me like that.
Don't smile, admit it to yourself,
Admit to yourself, the importance of night smoke.
Two hands, gentle cats,
♪ And it's nighttime outside the window ♪
Two hands, gentle cats
♪ You won't chase them away ♪
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be with you till morning.
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there
I'll be with you till morning.
# Outside the window it's nighttime…
# You won't go away… #
# Outside the window it's night
¶ You won't turn me away ¶
# I'll be there, I'll be there
# I'll be with you till morning
¶ I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there ¶
# I'll be with you till morning
"Two hands – gentle cats…": How does the star of the 90's Svetlana Roerich live now?

The actress rarely appears on stage – today all her time is occupied by educational projects for children and their parents.
"Two palms – gentle cats, and outside the window night …" – Do you remember this song by Svetlana Roerich? If so, 5-tv.ru invites you to a little tour of her biography. It turns out that her departure from the stage was not for good – she participates in compilation concerts, and a year ago she released a new lyric composition "Not you…". Besides music Svetlana is engaged in educational and PR-projects, organizes leisure time for children and teenagers, continues to study and leads a very active lifestyle.
The hits of the 90's, despite the different fates of their performers, are still remembered by Russians. People from the USSR and the early noughties can't forget how they hunted for rare records and audiocassettes with cherished music, which made it even more valuable. What was once called disco looks very different today, but popular songs from the past often get a second life – at parties like "Disco-90s," and in the works of contemporary artists.
Sweet Dream Band – "On a White Blanket in January"
The group "Sweet Dream" exists since 1990, but the artists never managed to produce anything more popular than the hit "On the white blanket of January". The song is 30 years old, but people still enjoy listening to it, so the group's tours don't stop. Sergey Vasyuta has been the soloist in the band since 1992.
Fun fact: in 2000, it was reported that Vasyuta could not cope with his busy touring schedule and was looking for a double to perform abroad. And the information was soon confirmed! Today Sergey is coping with the strain on his own (or hiding something from us).
Alice Mon – "Diamond"
Alice Mon became famous 10 years before the release of the song "Diamond". In 1988, she released the song "Roadside Road" and became world-wide popular, but she could not keep it and disappeared from the radar. The reason for that was her jealous husband – a producer, who used to raise his hand against her. Tired of enduring beatings, Alice fled to her native Irkutsk region, and the fame could be forgotten.
Ten years later she came back with renewed vigor. The song "Diamond" and the superexpensive music video in Miami helped her to regain her former glory.
Alas, the artist again had bad luck with the producer: this time she was left with nothing because of his financial fraud. Even the four albums released after "Diamond" did not help to retain her fame. In 2017, Mon reminded about herself, appearing in the program "10 years younger," then tried to pass the casting in the show "One in One", began to record new songs. Like many stars of the 90s, she now performs mostly at retro concerts.
Biography
Svetlana Roerich was born on August 26, 1971, in Uyar. This town is located far from the capital, so at a young age Svetlana did not even think about becoming a pop star. Her parents were the most ordinary teachers, who earned modest at the time money.
But in his spare time her father played musical instruments, trying his hand as an organizer of local events. The man's versatility amazed and played an important role in the further life of his daughter.
During her school years, Svetlana became fond of singing, attending the local circle and performing on stage. Music was an integral part of a teenage girl's life, but even then the hobby was perceived as no more than a temporary hobby.
After finishing school, Svetlana entered a pedagogical university, where she received her first higher education. The girl could have followed in her parents' footsteps and become a teacher, but even then the girl was drawn to singing, which she continued to practice all her free time. During the years of training she created her first full-fledged group, with which she actively rehearsed and performed in modest venues. The real fame was yet to come for Svetlana.
The Coming of Fame
Turning point in the biography of the young singer was the moment when she drew the attention of music producer Igor Igolkin. He worked with various stars, becoming one of the prominent figures of the industry. He invited Roerich to his production project Weekend, under which the girl became a soloist. Quite quickly the group gained popularity. Songs of the group began to top the local charts and brought Svetlana Roerich her first serious fame.
Soon fate brought Svetlana Roerich together with Pavel Yesenin, who offered the girl to record several joint songs. But the real fame fell on the singer in the nineties.
The young lead singer released her first full-length album "I waited for you". The appearance of the second studio album was not long in coming. The new main hit of Roerich becomes the composition "Palms", which was included in dozens of hit compilations of the late 90s.
Fame went side by side with crime, which haunted the young star. She had to perform at corporate parties arranged by dubious individuals.
At the beginning of the new century, the singer disappeared from the stage, having experienced the most difficult period in life.
Svetlana Roerich – review
I can not, and do not want to be silent about what in me evokes only pleasant and positive emotions. I will speak about music and only about it, and, of course, about the girl who has long ago charmed me and seized me in its chains, and so it appears there from time to time. I want to invite everybody to the 90's, those very perestroika years. How much we lived through them.
For me this is a separate era, I would even say a whole stratum, which was turned over and overturned by many. We went through perestroika, the putsch, denomination, moneylessness, unemployment, and it was very hard, THERE WAS HARD, but you should never lose optimism and faith in the best, believe me. I've always been accompanied by MUSIC. It doesn't matter what you like, but I don't think there's a person who doesn't listen to a song. And do you remember the big hit song "Palms" that blew up all the TV and radio airwaves? I hope that many have heard it, but my acquaintance with the performer was far from this song.
And who roused everyone and sang about palms? Do you know? Of course, the sweet and beautiful, charming – Svetlana Roerich.. As I wrote above, I was already familiar with this singer before her megapopularity.
When she was 14 years old, Svetlana won a vocal competition held at the All-Union Children's Center "Artek". After finishing school she entered Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical Institute. During her studies Svetlana became the soloist of her own group "P.S." and then the professional group of the city house of culture "Weekend".
