"Aria is the most irresistibly dancey and most commercially viable song I've worked on" - Joe Hammond, Pots and Pans Recording Studio

While their name is Russia they hail from Melbourne. When you hear them you'll know that their sound is an ode to the funk of old while forging a contemporary footpath weaved with pop elements. Hearing them, however, is only half the experience. To truly understand the power of Russia, one must put down the laptop, go to their show and be engrossed in a high energy charismatic experience. Gone are the days of the mild mannered shoe-gazers.
Now is the time of the front man.
Now is the reign of Russia.

Russia is Jack Adams, Anthony Pistone, Ian "Sammy" Vengtasamy, Richard Hannagan, Julio Trejo and Jayden Bowley

Lyrics:
[Verse]
Ah ah ah
You know I need you tonight
Your fire's dancing in my veins
Ah ah hearts
Keep burning all around me
Another lick to ease the pain
Ha ha ha x 3

[Verse]
So tell me why you're giving up
Ooo ooo
Tell me what you want to see?
Ah ah
A love that's larger than the world?
Ooo ooo
I'll tell you, you were meant for me
Ha ha ha x3

[Chorus]
Aria
You treat me like a western dream

[Verse]
Ah ah ah
I'm rolling off the deep end
This love is driving me insane
Ah ah ah
My lungs are barely breathing
I'm crawling up to heaven's gates
Ha ha ha x3

[Verse]
So tell me why you're giving up
Ooo ooo
Tell me what you want to see?
Ah ah
A love that's larger than the world?
Ooo ooo
I'll tell you, you were meant for me
Ha ha ha x3

[Chorus]
Aria
You treat me like a western dream

Aria

Just as love has its highs, it is often accompanied by an all-too-familiar pain. American Love is an upbeat ode to accepting the fleeting feelings life has to offer us. If 'damned if you do, damned if you don’t' is the saying - then American Love is the song.

Russia is Jack Adams, Anthony Pistone, Ian "Sammy" Vengtasamy, Richard Hannagan, Julio Trejo, Jayden Bowley, Tom Bunnett, Ellie Everest and Liam Bell.
Recorded at Pots and Pans Recording Studio, Melbourne.

[Lyrics]
Do you remember dancing with me?
We were lovers we were married by the sea
The moon was rising, water was blue
That tide keeps pulling me pulling me baby back to you

I don’t wanna come back now
That’s no good to me
The world is all against us
But baby baby cant you see?

American Love
Take me in your arms
American Love
Take me in your arms

It was September when I was free
Love is poison I was pullin' out my teeth
But the wind was howling water was blue,
This life is pullin' me pullin' me baby back to you

I don’t wanna come back now
That’s no good to me
The world is all against us
But baby baby cant you see?

American Love
Take me in your arms
American Love
Take me in your arms

American Love
Take me in your arms
American Love
Take me in your arms

American Love
