    Вольный перевод с английского:
    Трудно сказать “прости”/ Сбежим отсюда
    Я слышал как ты сказала -
    Надо иногда отдохнуть
    Друг от друга
    Даже влюбленным нужен отпуск
    Вдали друг от друга
    Обними же меня
    Мне трудно сказать "прости"
    Я просто хочу, чтобы ты осталась
    После всего, что было между нами,
    Я заглажу свою вину перед тобой, обещаю
    И после всего, что было сказано и сделано
    Ты просто часть меня, которую я не могу потерять
    Я бы не выдержал в одиночестве
    Ни одного дня без своей любимой
    Не хотел бы, чтобы меня забросило
    Далеко от моей единственной любви
    Обними же меня
    Мне трудно сказать "прости"
    Я просто хочу, чтобы ты знала
    Обними же меня
    Мне правда хочется сказать "прости"
    Я бы никогда не позволил тебе уйти
    Обещаю, ты будешь самой счастливой!
    Давай улетим отсюда
    Туда, где никто нас не увидит
    В конце концов, нам там будет не о чем заботиться
    Держись крепче, если ты со мной

    I'm a classically-trained keyboardist and film composer, so I know what it takes to perform and produce these covers. Then there's the fact that Chicago is among my 5 most favorite bands and the fact that "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" is 1 of my favorite Chicago songs! I ran into Leonid & Friends by happy coincidence while checking out Chicago songs performed by the band itself and cover bands (thank you, CZcams algorithms). I was amazed by the careful recreation of the original arrangements, the passionate and amazing performances by Leonid & Friends, and the excellent production quality! Leonid, I know it takes a lot of time to transcribe these arrangements, produce, mix, master, and complete video editing. I suspect that it's a labor of love. I, for one, greatly appreciate all or your hard work and appreciate your bringing together this amazing group of musicians to perform and produce these covers! As I have looked around CZcams for Chicago songs performed by the band itself, I have had a hard time finding versions of their songs performed by them using current recording technology. You all come the closest that I have found to faithful renderings of Chicago songs, but bonus, using modern recording and video technology. BRAVO!

      Their cover of Fantasy by Earth, Wind & Fire is indistiguishable from the original. This cover is actually the least great of all their covers I've heard so far. But that is a massively high bar. It's just so hard to go toe to toe with Peter Cetera.

    I just saw L&F 3 weeks ago and the real Chicago last week (11/4/2021) at the MGM Casino near Cleveland, OH. I've said it before on these L&F videos and I'll say it again: it's one thing for Peter Cetera and the rest of Chicago to write and arrange this song (and all their songs) from scratch.
    But when you consider what Leonid Vorobyev did here: he listened to the record, on his stereo or headphones, and proceeded to break down each individual instrument and vocal and harmony part individually, then transcribe those parts by hand on to sheet music using long hand music notation, then assemble the best musicians he could find, then show them and teach them the music and arrangement on each DIFFERENT instrument, and have everyone sing in near perfect English when it's not even their second or third language....... absolutely amazing job and a project for all these songs that surely took months if not years to finalize.
    Just think about it. You're listening to a song on your stereo and then you want to set out to write out the music of every part just from your ear.

    I've been an avid Chicago fan since 1970 and I'm just discovering Leonid & Friends for the first time today, July 3, 2021. You guys are absolutely incredible. I love your accuracy, but those nice subtle added touches to make your cover special.

    This band is amazing! I was a big fan of Chicago in the 70's. They sound so much like Chicago, it's unreal. I mean if you shut your eyes ,you would think you were listening to Chicago!

    I cant stop watching all of Leonid and Friends videos showcasing all the greatest hits of Chicago and more! I grew up with Chicago, I remember in the late 70's driving down Alki Beach in my 1963 Chevy SS and have Saturday In The Park blasting away! Leonid and all his friends are beyond being talented, They are truly the greatest cover band in the 21st Century!

    @CommonSenseRevolution Před 2 lety +39

    Leonid is a master of covering the very difficult to recreate songs of Chicago. Again, absolutely perfect vocals, horns and strings. And when the beat picks up for Get Away, the whole band is rockin and 100% in sync. Leonid you do AMAZING work, no doubt about it. Your covers could EASILY be mistaken for the originals they are SO well done. BRAVO!

    They never fail to amaze me, even today. One of the many reasons is the way it was filmed in the studio by Leonid.

    One more JEWEL from Russia shared with the World!!! Fantastic Job!!
    I can only imagine if those old bands would have been able to make studio recordings like this and capture it on Video! Or the ones that had the technology available instead chose to make those lame CONCEPT VIDEOS. I love watching the singers and musicians playing their instruments without lip singing or fake playing.

    I so desperately hope that Serge Tiagniryadno is safe. I so desperately hope that his entire family is safe. I so desperately hope that his Russian band members are all safe. I pray for Volodymyr Zelenskyy, his family, all Ukrainian people, all normal Russian people and the world. Thank you Leonid and Friends for your beautiful contribution to joy in this world, especially in this evil time.
