Thank you for playing !

Turkish delightful!  Lively tempo, good instrumental arrangement, catchy tune.  I liked it for the sound of it before I read the translation, but knowing what they're singing about just adds to the enjoyment.

instead of this terrible record where are all these many amazing existing French chansons?

I haven't noticed, that you play any

hey Mrs Tom ....you took the words from my mouth ...I can see the sequins from here

Hey - if you love this you need to tune into the Eurovision Song Contest every year! 

Impressionnant ce groupe de Turquie.

Aw c'mon, we all sit and watch with dinks and smokes cheering Conchita or whoever is worst that year.      I used to hate it but now after being married to a german spaniard its a great excuse for a booze up.    I miss Wogan, that norton tw4t spoils it a little.

It takes three generation to make a monkey
Still another duck busts the dust by his strut
In case everything else fails
You can always fall in love with a martian
Hell can free z on air : What the deuce !

Ups, I apologize for not raising to your higher standards, Stingray. I am deeply humbled by your exquisite musical taste and desire to spread your one dimensional knowledge to everybody else.

"Meaning and Purpose" is enough to make something be special.  In other hand, confession needs information ;)

I see what you did there Bill. Nice.

This is the first time I heard Turkish on Radio Paradise, I'm surprised. I believe that the band is above average but i can confess that there is nothing special about them :)

 You got what i am saying, i got what you are saying. Salutes from Istanbul to Ankara :)

yes, you're right about not being just "standard" music band, but i think they're "standard rock band"... in my humble opinion :)

I rarely find that I am rating a song higher or lower because of the lyrics.  I suppose it is possible for lyrics to be so bad as to negatively influence my rating, but so far that has not happened.

Yeah, i explained why they are not "anarchist" in my other comment. But they are not a just "standart" music band of course ;) Don't trivialize them ;)

nobody wrote: 

They are not anarchist. Do you know what anarchist means? Before you use the words learn the true meanings of them. They are a leftist music band and they care about the people and labor rights. Saying them anarchist is a method of the way of exlusion of the government. An example Prodigy is a anarchist music group. Remember the "Firestarter" song of them. In other hand Redd, in that song, they are questioning the universal life that we are living. An anarchist always focus on how to destroy government, and their rules, but a leftist want to setup a good life, better then that exploitation scheme.

I just want to share some information about them. In Turkey, some music channels, Tv's blocked their music videos. Because they are care about human rights and they are standing against government's punishments to workers in Turkey. They are at the side of labor rights. Redd says : "To think, write, draw and produce a political discourse. The aim of establishing a rock band, of course, do not do politics, but this is not mean we are not sensitive. We choose our side when the time comes. In our opinion the big picture of what is happening in Turkey today creates a portrait that does not offer anything but bright." As a result, I am saying "Support the good guys!" Best regards to Radio Paradise listeners.

Thanks for the translation.  I liked it before I read the translation.  Beautiful...

Definite hook here. Like it. Yep.

a turkish song that i have not heard before. what a nice surprise. 

This singer has a tremendous voice!  Well done!

suprised to hear a Turkish song. 
Thanks Bill.. 

Sounds like an obscure song by Muse sung in Turkish with more emotion. 
 

Sounds like an entry for Eurovision. For anyone unfamiliar with this contest - this is not a compliment.

Yes.  It's a good tune - nice hooks and production.  I'm not immediately concerned with what the lyrics mean either, but it's cool that someone posted a translation.

This has grown on me immediately. Stronger traks on the album though.

Nice to hear some Turkish sounds here, thanks RP

Pretty not-unique!

Quite. International is a matter of perspective.

Turkish delight!

anarchist!?!? irrelevant and misinformation. they're just a standard Turkish rock band.

There's a great documentary on Turkish music called  Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul. 

Here's a thought for everybody commenting about "international" music: You are international to me! And I am pretty much international to most of the other listeners... :)
And before you say "Oh, but RP is based in Paradise, California, US, so everything else is international!" have a look at the listeners map. You might be surprised, especially if you consider the population in every country... and half the Earth listens while you sleep ;)
The world just became smaller, eh? 

It's good to know that there is more to contemporary Turkish music than the god awful Eurovision 'competition'. 

Great Turkish music. Nice to hear from other parts of the world.
 

here is a rough translation of the lyrics:

hala aşk var mı -> is there still love

stub remains, the apple is the story
what does adam do in such fullness
he's become captive watching the tv
ash remains, the fire is the story
gave advice what does it help?
he swallows the pill, starts dreaming

is there an angel, a city, a world?
a human, a beauty, is there still love?

what does he do in this emptiness
gets bored, stares at the moon
he only looks, sends the monkey instead

he gets crazy, hangs the man
then he looks for life in mars
devils on live broadcast
is there an angel, a city, a world?
a human, a beauty, is there still love?

is there an angel, a god  a devil?
an ugly, a beauty, is there still love?

is there an angel, a city, a world?
a human, a beauty, is there still love?

anarchist turksh rock group.

Nice to see Turkish Rock band in here. Thanks RP.

Yikes! Turkish - so my geography was off a bit... ..listen to the music!

Ughhhhh can't listen to this...

 Off on a Nordic adventure I see... ...under-represented segment of musical talent displayed so prominently on RP. Love the concept! (Though, not so sure about the love for this cut...)

I really like this song, it immediately caught my attention.  Tight and well sung.  I love international music!

What a surprise!! Redd is one of the hidden treasures of Turkish rock music.. This song is the second Turkish song I have ever heard in RP. The first one is Goksel-Ayrilik Gunu.. Hi to everyone by the way from Ankara, Turkey:))..

I like songs not sung in English.   I hope this trend continues and we get more of it.

SNAZZY!

Just because you don't understand the lyrics doesn't mean the song s*cks. I have no idea what he says, but I like the music, I like his voice and I honestly believe the lyrics tell a story, even if I don't understand a word. I can leave my imagination do the translation. Can anyone feel his passion?

Go international musical awareness. 

First encountering with a turkish song lol

Hey ho.
