I’ve noticed that I subconsciously classify songs into three categories (music, voice, lyrics). It’s rare for a musician to excel in all three areas at once. Either it’s a strong beat with good lyrics (Vysotsky and other bards), or the lyrics are terrible, but the music and voice make up for it (there are many examples, from Armstrong to Mumiy Troll). Very rarely do all three components excel. “Na gora” reminds me of Mayak by Splean/Mayakovsky.
