There are many good musicians out there and each has something magical to offer. In this post I want to introduce you to Alex Genadinik and his unique songwriting.
He writes songs with unique ideas and imagery. Here is an analysis of his songs with metaphors. One example of his songs is “Oh Michelangelo” in which Alex uses Michelangelo’s famous painting “The Birth Of Adam” and repaints it to have two lovers caress each other in the song.
Alex’s other romantic songs similarly feature sweet lyrics and use similarly grandiose metaphors. His other songs have lovers meeting in their dreams on their stars as they fall asleep, in the clouds, on Romeo and Juliet’s balcony, and many other romantic settings.
But Alex doesn’t just write romantic sons. His lyrics focus on capturing a slice of life without being afraid of difficult situations or emotions. Yet in these difficult emotions, we find a lot of humanity. Our shared experiences as people is what makes songs about these kinds of topics such relatable songs - we can all identify because we have all been in these situations and we recognize ourselves in the story of the song.
He has a number of songs about loneliness, compassion, songs about support, hope, disappointment, and much more.
Alex got his inspiration from Bulat Okudzhava, a Russian singer-songwriter. Bulat Okudzhava was one of the best and most popular singer-songwriters in 20th Century Russia, but he is little known in the west because he wrote in a different language. Alex has translated some of Bulat’s songs to English to share them with English-speaking audiences. Here is a playlist of all of Alex’s translations ok Okudzhava’s music:
Alex keeps adding songs to this playlist so if you like his of Okudzhava’s songs, subscribe to his channel to stay up-to-date with his latest releases.
If you want to know more about Alex’s work, he doesn’t just do music. He is also known in the Elearning space. He is a very popular Udemy instructor and he even helps new Elearning businesses get started by licensing white label video courses to those companies so they can start by having a full library of online courses on day one.
