New Cycles Alexander Gradsky It is easy to note that in recent years the music Gradsky absolutely no so-called love lyrics. Bad song lyrics "about love", so richly sounding from the stage for a long time fought off his hunting to write on this topic.

Alexander Gradsky. How young we were. I've listened to this summer by chance your Eluard. And one woman said to me: "This record I just saved." There was a difficult period in her life, did not want anything, all dropped from the hands, and it is, then the provincial theater actress, come and listen to this record non-stop. And I survived. The feeling that these things are dedicated to a particular woman.
