Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they’re here
to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday…

- Одним из традиционных инструментов является колокол. Колокол на Руси появился в Х веке. Его слышно в тишине даже за 30км. Первым его назначением стало созывать народ. Колокол предсказывал войны, эпидемии, отпугивал врагов и созывал людей. Звон создаёт впечатление мощи.
- Колокольные звоны влияют на здоровье человека. Их излучения разрушают болезнетворные среды. Каждый вирус обезвреживается звуком своей частоты. Недаром наши предки во время эпидемий били в колокола так долго, пока не сгинет напасть.
- Колокол – это частичка истории России.
