Song Meaning of “Вечерний звон” by Zhanna Bichevskaya
‘Вечерний звон’ by Zhanna Bichevskaya tells a story of a mysterious phone call that changes someone’s life. It speaks of longing—of wanting someone desperately, and of finally having them in one’s life. The song speaks of the contrast between despondency and joy. It is a story about the joy of connecting with someone special, even through a simple phone call. The opening line of the song poignantly captures the feeling of anticipation of something special: “the ringing of the phone at evening will fill my night with delight.” There is something magnetic about this unknown phone call, one that entices the speaker to suppress their worries and fear to take a chance. Hope flickers, that something beautiful and special is awaiting them on the other end.
The speaker is subsequently filled with heightened emotions and overwhelming joy from finally reuniting with their loved one. The lyrics remark on how, from a single phone call, each moment taken away from this person feels like an eternity. It captures the feeling that nothing else matters, no other people do, no other thought crosses the mind of the speaker—only this person.
‘Вечерний звон’ speaks of the powerful emotion of love, and the dedication of someone to wait for its manifestation through a simple phone call.
