Growing Up Is Just A Trap
Life goes on
And we're growing old
And our problems
Are getting out of control
Like little children
With little sorrow
We can not tolerate
We can't wait for tomorrow
And we blame someone
For the pain we feel
Spreading rumors around
Like it's not a big deal
And we always
hurt the one we love
It is funny thing
Watching life from above
Chorus :
We got crazy,
We got lazy
Life gives us more crap
And growing up....
Growing up is just a trap
When you're a kid
Adults watching you
With such arrogance
Telling you what to do
Imposing their problems
on your innocent brain
Turning on you
Filling you with pain
Watching children play
Understand how they are
Serene and happy
Their pure joy revealed
Let's follow the example
From our kids
Before it's too late
It can never be healed
Chorus :
We got crazy,
We got lazy
Life gives us more crap
And growing up....
Growing up is just a trap
Recorded at "Dobrolet" Studios, Saint Petersburg in April 2020
Recorded by Aleksander Dokshin & Petr Ternovoj
Mixed & Mastered by Dima Petrov at Dip Records Studio
So ladies and gentlemen, the legendary Saint Petersburg Ska Jazz Review presents:
The name "Growing Is Just A Up Trap" speaks for itself that the people of the planet are sometimes too serious about themselves, which is why many problems in the world, such as hunger, wars, epidemics, devastation, universal hatred for each other, and pollution of the atmosphere and reservoirs. And we must try to be simpler, kinder and more direct. We observe all the qualities in children who come to this world pure, free and cheerful. And with age we all become grouchy, grumpier, addicted, etc. It all looks like some kind of trap.
The lyrics of the songs of this album also touch upon the problems of pollution of nature, attitudes towards each other, dependence on gadgets of the modern world. But there are also romantic themes, about love of life, dreams and travel, which have always been sung in the work of the group.
The team does not need special advertising, as it has been serving the muse and its fans for 20 years! To all fans of Ska, Reggae, Soul, Rockсteady, Swing.
Hurry Up, to put this record on your turntable and enjoy the sounds of the orchestra under the guidance of the soul - Saint Petersburg Ska - Jazz Review!
DJ. Messer.

St.Petersburg Ska-Jazz ReviewSaint Petersburg, Russia
In 2001, at the 4 annual Sergey Kuryokhin Festival (SKIFF).
The Idea to make such a project with
the name came up to the drummer’s head Denis Kuptsov, as he says later — it was our Russian answer to an American New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble.
The music of SPB SJR is an ingenious blend of Jamaican ska & rocksteady and reggae, American jazz and R&B....more
