Russian singer Ruslan Bogatyrev has released a heartfelt ballad about lasting love despite the miles, a track titled “I am waiting for you despite this.” The release honors everyone who finds themselves separated from a loved one yet clings to the belief that reunion is a matter of time. The song speaks directly to those who know the ache of separation and the quiet strength it takes to keep faith alive while two hearts stay connected in spirit, even when distance keeps them apart.
The chorus centers on a man openly declaring his love to a woman, a narrative that resonated with Bogatyrev after he watched a film that captured the tenderness and risk of such a confession. Inspired by what he saw on screen, the singer sought to translate that same emotional immediacy into music that could travel across borders and time zones to touch listeners in North America as well as in his home country. The core idea—love that persists despite physical distance—threads through the song and gives it universal appeal.
“The story felt close to many people, and I wanted to create a song in that spirit”, Bogatyrev explains. “I wrote the music, while Ira Euphoria crafted the lyrics. With that collaboration, the track aims to be a beacon for anyone whose heart still beats in rhythm with a distant beloved.” Across the United States and Canada, listeners can find the release on major streaming services, allowing fans to experience the music wherever they are and whenever they need it most.”
The track has been released across all major music platforms, making it easy for listeners in both countries to access and enjoy. Bogatyrev notes that the melody tends to seize listeners first, with the words then shaping the mood and enhancing the overall feel of the piece. He highlights Ira Euphoria as the lyricist who understood his vision and translated it into verses that mirror the emotional journeys he intended to convey. The collaboration aims to evoke a sense of closeness that helps bridge the physical gap between two people who still share one rhythm—belonging to the same heartbeat even when apart.
“Each listen reveals something new”, Bogatyrev adds after performances, describing how the composition unfolds differently with every hearing. The music carries a scent of memory and longing, evolving with each performance and inviting audiences to imagine their own stories of waiting, hope, and reunion that transcend distance. The public performances emphasize universal themes—trust, patience, and the magnetic pull of love that refuses to fade with separation. The lyrics, paired with Bogatyrev’s melodic lines, create an experience that listeners in Canada, the United States, and beyond can interpret through their own personal journeys. The release stands as a cultural moment where music becomes a bridge, connecting people across borders who share similar emotions and memories of waiting for a beloved person to return.
Even as the story unfolds through performance, Bogatyrev’s approach remains collaborative and intimate. He believes that the songwriter’s craft, combined with a singer’s delivery, can evoke a sense of closeness that makes distance feel shorter. The project serves as a reminder that music travels faster than words, carrying the weight of affection across continents and into the daily lives of listeners who seek comfort in familiar harmonies and honest storytelling. The artist is known for turning personal experiences into songs that speak to resilience and hope, offering listeners a steady beacon during moments of separation. The new release demonstrates how music can serve as a lighthouse for those navigating times apart, reminding them that love endures even when physical proximity is challenging.
