Silver Persimmon

1. It doesn't have any particular philosophical meaning; it's just a fun, lively song. Genre: metal.

2. A song by the greatest Russian bard. It's humorous, as is typical.

3. The most lighthearted and kind song. A cop would approve. The music isn't heavy.

4. An absolutely geeky text. Only I would appreciate it. Well, and people who go to their concerts and sing along.

5. A dynamic song that generally contains a meaning that makes you think. But you don't have to think about it; it doesn't force you to. Genre: rock.

6. A song with meaning and a positive message. At least, it doesn't try to impose the idea that everything is bad. Rather, it suggests that everything is in our hands.

7. The most intense song in terms of lyrics in the selection. It's downright dark, and it gets darker as it goes on. In terms of lyrics, it's the deepest, richest, most saturated, and most philosophical.

8. A song about how things are bad for us and how we need to think about freedom. In the current situation, it seems outdated, unlike No. 7, which is relevant at all times.

9. A philosophical song with a historical retrospective. Alex would definitely approve of this theme. Compared to the previous ones, the text isn't particularly heavy. Genre: rock.

10. The performer is the kindest, most wholesome zoomer, a young man who is not of this world. It's a good song, but it's not always easy to follow the train of thought, but that's typical of this performer.

11. A song about love and how women rule the world.

12. Overall, a song about love, mostly sad. One of the most famous songs by this band. The lyrics are quite literary. Someone somewhere wrote that it's an imitation of Mandelstam, but I'm not sure.

13. I mentioned in the comments on one of the previous contests that "Adygea" rhymes with "Pelageya," but I didn't say where it came from. Here's a chance to find out. By the way, this doesn't apply to the song itself; the song is in English and about something else. By the way, the previous 12 songs were in Russian. As for this song, it's a vocal masterpiece, a brilliant performance.

14. A very cozy song; I would say it has a romantic atmosphere, even though there isn't a single word about love. Or maybe there is; it's up to each person to interpret. The only thing is that the video is generally sad, although I wouldn't call the song itself that way.

15. A song about love by a great Russian bard. I just like the lyrics.

16. This band is starting to be forgotten, but that's a mistake. According to one study, which measured the diversity of vocabulary in the lyrics of Russian bands, it was in 2nd place out of several dozen. For comparison, Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin" was also included, and it received a score somewhere between 2nd and 3rd place. The song is dark, like most of this band's songs. But the language is rich.

17. Oh, another song in English. The best joke about circumcision I've ever heard!

18. Just a fun, playful, and ironic song. Genre: pop.

19. Hmm... I need something where I like the lyrics? But here, the lyrics are either unintelligible or incoherent. But that's the point! I like it.

20. Another geeky word salad, like No. 4. But I like that.

21. I already sent the original of this song, and this is a great cover. But I like the lyrics! Google says the genre is rock/pop-rock.

22. Genre: metal, no deep philosophy, but the rhyming is
Linguistically brilliant! Unusual, unique, the lyrics are good.

23. The music is like something from "Gentlemen of Fortune," plus unconventional vocabulary. I like it. About love and how things can be. Genre: pop song a la the 80s.

In general, as you get older, you often want something lighter to relax to, rather than something that's banging in your ears.
