Yuna - Tourist Lyrics

Artist: Yuna

Album: Yuna

I guess I'll hang around a little while, while you here No, I don't feel like being somewhere else I guess I wouldn't mind to fall in love a little bit Ouch, I think I fell a little more Hanging on to nothing I wouldn't change a thing Stay where you are now Oh no I've said too much Got both feet in My dear you fear too much I'm just a little bit love ridden I'm falling in to you I'm just another tourist making stops, but it's clear No, I'll never leave without you Tell another story of love in loss and fear No, we have another night to kill Hanging on to nothing I'd do it all again Stay where you are now Oh no I've said too much Got both feet in My dear you fear too much I'm just a little bit love ridden I'm falling in to you Crush through clouds and then we'll know Don't look back I want you so Love ridden I'm falling in to Love ridden I'm falling in to you Oh no I've said too much Got both feet in My dear you fear too much Just keep breathing Oh no I've said too much Got both feet in I hope it's not too much I'm just a little bit love ridden I'm falling in to you

Meaning of Tourist by Yuna

Listen to the full song on Apple Music

"Tourist" by Yuna explores the theme of falling in love and surrendering oneself to the experience. The lyrics suggest a sense of being present and not wanting to be anywhere else while in the company of someone special. The protagonist expresses a willingness to fall in love and admits to already falling deeper for this person.

In the pre-chorus, the line "Hanging on to nothing, I wouldn't change a thing" indicates a contentment with the current state of affairs and a desire to remain in the present moment. It reflects a sense of acceptance and not wanting anything to change.

The chorus further emphasizes this feeling of surrender and vulnerability. The protagonist admits to having said too much, revealing their feelings and intentions, and being fully invested in the relationship. They acknowledge their beloved's fears but express their own willingness to take the risk and fall in love. The line "I'm just a little bit love ridden, I'm falling into you" captures the overwhelming emotions and the protagonist's unapologetic desire to be consumed by this love.

In the second verse, the idea of being a tourist making stops suggests a transitory nature to the protagonist's encounters with love. However, they assert their commitment not to leave without the person they are singing about. The idea of telling another story of love, loss, and fear implies a willingness to open up and share past experiences with their beloved, creating a deeper connection.

The bridge highlights the intensity of emotions experienced in love. The imagery of crashing through clouds represents breaking through barriers and inhibitions, while the desire not to look back indicates a determination to move forward with this person. The repetition of "Love ridden, I'm falling into you" emphasizes the protagonist's surrender and their journey into love.

In the second chorus, the protagonist encourages their beloved to keep breathing, suggesting that they will support them through any fears or anxieties. The line "I hope it's not too much, I'm just a little bit love ridden" conveys a sense of self-awareness about the intensity of their emotions but also reassures their love interest that it is a genuine and sincere expression of their feelings.

Overall, "Tourist" encapsulates the experience of falling deeply in love, feeling swept away by the emotions, and being willing to embrace vulnerability and uncertainty for the sake of a genuine connection. It celebrates the magic and intensity of love, highlighting the protagonist's unwavering commitment to the person they are singing to.

for me the song is about unplanned love that you just stumbled upon randomly. Just like that one stranger at the airport you locked eyes for a mere 10 seconds but it stays within your head throughout the whole 18 hrs flight. “I guess I'll hang around a little while” was like the feeling of it’s already time to go or bid a farewell to someone you close with but your heart wanted to stay around a little longer just because you feel a sense of belonging, a sense of being home whenever around them. This song encapsulates perfectly how was it like to fall in love with someone. The hesitation. The temerity. The uncertainty.

The Human Seafood Restaurant in the capital of Russia is custom-tailored to make guests feel as if they have just diven into an underwater experience. MEGRE INTERIORS has created their own art-version of an underwater world reminding customers of the origin of humankind. As you walk in the door your eyes are immediately drawn to the walls and ceiling with a dark-grey textured mesh that resembles waves.

• Best Public Space - 2019 Awards

Customers then make way to their tables where the illusion of a river flowing through the middle of the table with a blue inlay is created. Soft sofas line the perimeter of the restaurant, while the bar stools spell out the restaurant's name for all to see. A brassy tunnel then takes the guests past an aquarium to a modern concrete jungle washroom.

«On paper, Humans’ self-described ‘underwater experience’ sounds a touch gimmicky. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth for the Moscow restaurant, where dining is shaped (but not overwhelmed by) a maritime concept.»

— WALLPAPER

The design concept from Yuna Megre is to feature the nature of the sea, the depths of the ocean, the fathomless seas that define the boundaries between light and darkness. We find this in the transition of the light walls and the contrasting textures and materials. Our eyes are entertained by the opposing elegant fabrics and the tough realist concrete furniture and steel-grilles we find on the walls.

«We all came from the sea. There was no land on this planet, only the ocean, only its inhabitants. This was the idea behind the name. It is about what we would see, what we would feel from inside the ocean.»

— YUNA MEGRE

The grilles lend the effect of dynamically-flowing waves, picked out with gold highlights in a way that suggest floral compositions. It's a grille composition that was specially conceived and hand-shaped by the designers from MEGRE INTERIORS directly on-site.

The sophistication of the lighting at Humans is that almost every light-source has been concealed within the mesh. The light has the feel of being indirect, of being sunlight that's penetrated deep into the sea, illuminating the waters right down to their very depths.

«The space sees a brooding, alternative oceanic realm come to life at the hands of the Russian designer Yuna Megre.»

Meet the Minds – Yuna Megre

Born and raised in Russia, Yuna Megre, founder of Moscow- and Los Angeles-based interior design firm Megre Interiors , has developed not only an appreciation for a more colorful world, but also a knack to take hospitality concepts to new heights—sometimes quite literally. Employing both her business savvy and her design eye, Megre has led her firm to prominence for daring to “pair the unpairable and combine the unimaginable.” Here, she discusses how her home and travels shaped her design perspective, opening a new office in LA, and finding inspiration from the world around her.

Did you always know you wanted to be a designer? Ever since I was a little girl my favorite toys were Lego [blocks] and any building sets. I didn’t play with Barbies as a role playing game, I created homes for them inside cabinets and cupboards, made furniture with foam, wood, and Play-Doh. Creativity was always a loved hobby in our home, but not something to look at as career path.

I first went to business school and loved it. I am very analytical, and I love understanding how things work and coming up with ways to solve problems. By the time I graduated I was longing for a creative environment, so I went into the most creative industry I could think of—advertising. I began interning and then working for Saatchi & Saatchi both in London and in Russia. It was during this time, I began to fall in love with interior design at a conscious level. My parents were building a house and I became obsessed with the process and realized that this is something I want to do. It was very scary, but I applied to the highly coveted program at Chelsea College at the University of Arts London and despite a very limited portfolio, got it.

What are some of your first memories of design? The first time I fell in love with [design] is when I went to England. You see, post-Perestroika Russia, in which I grew up, was not a visually pleasing place then. But England, with its whimsical, highly decorative, cozy, and warm interiors was just magic to a 12-year-old girl. It was the first time I saw beauty, not in the scale or grandeur of museums and historic buildings, but in people’s homes, even if modest. It delighted me how they treasured their grandma’s cabinet and loved vintage finds, where as Russians just throw everything old out and always wanted something new. It opened my eyes to the way that beauty and comfort and aesthetic has to be integral in our lives, and that we should appreciate our past as well as look forward to our future.

Did where you grew up influence your career path?  It did, greatly. The post-Soviet period in Russia was not exactly a place where one would consider a creative path as a means of having a sustainable lifestyle. And even more so, interior design as a profession did not really exist. Everything was done by architects. Going to school and university in England put me in an environment that allowed me to explore my creative side, to study art, to see places and spaces and be inspired. On the other hand, once I grew up and returned to Moscow after design school, there was a budding interior design market that allowed me to take an unconventional career path.

What were some of your earliest jobs as a designer? After a two-month gig as a freelance interior decorator for a restaurant chain and falling in love with the hospitality business, I started my first company with an architect friend who had only residential interior experience. It was madness. I was 23 and she was only a couple of years older. We worked 20-hour days for a year and learned everything on our feet. After a year and a half, I created Megre Interiors. That was 10 years ago in May.

What contributed to your success? The fact that I had no idea how everything was supposed to be done because I had no one to learn after and copy.I tried and tested, I came up with ways of doing things, I brought my corporate experience and business school knowledge to the creative process, I analyzed and organized the way I saw fit. It allowed us to become one of the most sought-after hospitality design firms in Russia within four years of operation. I still use that approach to everything I do—all my projects, all the new things we undertake. Presume you know nothing, learn everything, doubt it, test it, make it better.

Can you discuss some of your recent projects? The brightest stars of last year for us were two projects: Ruski and Rybtorg. They could not be more different if they tried to. Ruski  [in Moscow] is a magnificent 20,000-square-foot high-end restaurant, which currently holds the title of the highest restaurant in Europe. Rybtorg [also in Moscow] is a tiny 1,100-square-foot fish shop and raw bar. One had a large budget, a huge collaborative team, adequate timeframe, and the other, none of the above. But what makes them a favorite pair of mine is that we achieved great success and international acclaim with both cases. Apart from that, we completed another 10 restaurants last year, decorated two hotels in Georgia, four stores, and went into full-swing construction on an airport lounge for MasterCard. The lounge will open later this year, and will be our second for the brand. We are also currently completing construction on a boutique hotel. This year, we have also started work on several international locales including Dubai for the Mari Vanna brand (a Russian-themed concept already present in New York, London, Baku, Moscow, St. Petersburg).

What are you looking forward to now that you’ve opened an office in LA? I have been splitting my time between Moscow and Los Angeles since my daughter was born here almost five years ago. I love living in both Europe and the U.S. because it gives me such an international outlook on the industry. Plus, it keeps me on the go. The LA office is a satellite office, with all the hustle and bustle of designing, prototyping, detailing happening  in the main Moscow office, which I am happy to say doubled in size last month when we moved into our new space.

What are the most challenging and exciting aspects of your job? I would say people. Things are predictable but people are not. So it’s a challenge to understand your team, your clients, your target audience. That is what design is to me, it is not curtains, chairs, tables—it is people. It is creating spaces that influence them, that tell a story, that make them feel a certain way.

Is there an architect or designer you most admire?  If a have to single out one I would say Zaha Hadid for everything she embodied both in her work and in her story. For a designer, it will have to be Kelly Wearstler. I am in awe of the way she sees this world, the way she feels texture and color and form so complex, so deeply, so differently.

What would be your dream project and why? I am very into my hotel work right now. I love learning, testing, questioning dogmas and norms. I have done it for 10 years in restaurant design, but here I am, as Steve Jobs said ‘hungry and foolish.’ It drives me to learn, test, and question everything in this industry. Plus, I feel it is on the verge of a change where old formats are let go and a new industry will emerge.

If you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, who would it be? Elon Musk.

Where would you eat and what would you be having? A beer and some simple food.

If you weren’t a designer, what would you be? Any profession where you are met with a problem and you have to work out how to get it done and create a new way, a better way, to build something, to bring something into the world.

17 Top Tourist Attractions in Moscow

By Alex Schultz · Last updated on May 4, 2024

The capital of Russia is an incredible place to explore. Visitors to Moscow come away spellbound at all the amazing sights, impressed at the sheer size and grandeur of the city. Lying at the heart of Moscow, the Red Square and the Kremlin are just two of the must-see tourist attractions; they are the historical, political and spiritual heart of the city – and indeed Russia itself.

A fascinating city to wander around, stunning cathedrals, churches, and palaces lie side-by-side with bleak grey monuments and remains from the Soviet state. In addition to its plethora of historical and cultural tourist attractions, Moscow is home to world-class museums, theaters and art galleries.

Renowned for its performing arts, fantastic ballets and amazing circus acts, catching a show while in Moscow is a must. The wealth of brilliant restaurants, trendy bars, and lively nightlife means there is something for everyone to enjoy.

17. Tsaritsyno Palace

Once the summer residence of Catherine the Great, the stunning Tsaritsyno Palace is now a museum-reserve. The architecture is magnificent and there is a lovely park surrounding it for visitors to explore.

Located in the south of Moscow, the palace was commissioned in 1775 and recent renovations mean its lavish interior looks better than ever before with its elegant halls and beautiful staircases.

The exhibits on display look at the life of the empress as well as the history of Tsaritsyno itself. The huge palace grounds are also home to some other delightful buildings with the elegant opera house and wonderful brickwork of the Small Palace being particularly impressive to gaze upon.

Starting out in 1935 as the ‘All-Union Agricultural Exhibition’, VDNKh has slowly morphed over the years into the fascinating open-air museum of today. Remarkably, over 400 buildings can now be found within its confines.

The huge park complex has numerous pavilions representing former Soviet republics on show, such as those of Armenia and Turkmenistan and the distinctive architecture of each of the buildings is always interesting to gaze upon. In addition to this there is the fascinating Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics which is dedicated to space exploration and the fun Moskvarium aquarium even offers you the chance to swim with dolphins.

With lots of eateries scattered about and numerous entertainment options such as horse-riding and zip-lining, there is something for everyone to enjoy; the Friendship of Nations fountain truly is wonderful.

15. Kremlin Armoury

One of the oldest museums in the city, the Kremlin Armoury has a wealth of treasures; highlights include the ornate Grand Siberian Railway egg, the historic Cap of Monomakh and the stunning Imperial Crown of Russia which often has a crowd of tourists around it, jostling to take a photo.

Once the royal armory, there are loads of fascinating objects on display. Perusing the many sabers, jewelry, armor and more is as interesting as it is educational and entertaining and the swords are so finely crafted that you’ll almost wish you could pick up one and wield if yourself.

Established in 1851, the museum is situated in the Moscow Kremlin.

14. GUM Department Store

Standing for ‘Main Universal Store’ in Russian, GUM is stunning. Its wonderful skylights and beautiful facades mean it doesn’t look out of place alongside its illustrious neighbors on Red Square.

With over 200 shops, boutiques and upmarket eateries inside, it is a shopaholic’s heaven and concerned partners will be glad to find more affordable options alongside luxury brands such as Dior and Prada.

The main department store in the city, GUM was opened in 1893. The stunning architecture makes it well worth a visit even if shopping isn’t your thing.

13. Moscow Metro

It’s not often that public transport looks like a work of art. So many stops on the Moscow Metro will astound visitors with their beauty and elegance.

Decked in marble and with frescoes covering the walls, the stations are amazing to gaze upon and are part of one of the longest metro systems in the world, with the first stations opened in 1935.

Using the metro is the quickest and easiest way to get around Moscow and braving the crowds of commuters is well worth it for the beauty all around you.

12. Arbat Street

An elegant yet lively street, Arbat is full of impressive architecture and was once a popular place to live for aristocrats, artists, and academics.

A historic place, it is down Arbat Street that Napoleon’s troops are said to have headed on their way to capture the Kremlin.

Nowadays, there are many cafes, restaurants, and shops, as well as various monuments and statues to former residents such as Alexander Pushkin who was reputed to be a lover of the Russian Empress due to his massive influence in court.

11. Novodevichy Convent

Drenched in history, the Novodevichy Convent is located in a striking building that was once a fortress. This captivating place is well worth visiting when in Moscow.

Founded in 1524, the convent houses four cathedrals; Smolensk Cathedral is the undoubted highlight due to its delightful 16th-century frescoes.

Wandering around the grounds is like stepping back in time. The Novodevichy Cemetery is where many famous leaders of the Soviet Union are buried, such as Yeltsin and Khrushchev.

10. Pushkin Museum

Despite its name, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts actually has no connection at all to the famous poet other than that it was named in his honor after his death. A delight to visit, its extensive collection focuses on European art with masterpieces by Botticelli, Rembrandt, and van Gogh all featuring.

Sculptures, graphic art, paintings and more can be found in its beautiful galleries; various sections look at themes and epochs such as the Renaissance, the Dutch Golden Age, and Byzantine art.

Among the many highlights are the clownish characters which can be found in Cezanne’s Fastnacht (Mardi Gras) and the twirling ballerinas who look so elegant in Degas’ Blue Dancers. Picasso’s Young acrobat on a Ball is also well worth checking out for its interesting use of shapes and colors.

9. Christ The Savior Cathedral

This gorgeous Russian Orthodox cathedral is located on the banks of the Moskva River, just a stone’s throw away from the Kremlin.

The church as it stands today was consecrated in 2000, as the original church that stood here was destroyed on the command of Josef Stalin in 1931 due to the anti-religious campaign.

With its delightful golden dome, spires and dazzling white facades, the Christ the Savior Cathedral is stunning. The interior is just as captivating to wander around, with its beautifully tiled floors and impressive altar.

8. Lenin Mausoleum

Opened to the public in 1924, Lenin’s Mausoleum is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Moscow. The red granite structure is located at the heart of the city in Red Square.

Lenin’s embalmed body lies in a glass sarcophagus; it is a somewhat eerie experience walking past the former leader of the Soviet Union but is well worth doing as you understandably can’t do it anywhere else in the world.

After visiting the mausoleum, head to the Kremlin wall right next to it for more graves of important communist figures such as Stalin and Brezhnev.

7. Tretyakov Gallery

Home to the most extensive and impressive collection of Russian fine art in the world, the State Tretyakov Gallery is definitely worth visiting when in Moscow for the wealth of amazing art pieces that it has on display.

Having started out as the private art collection of the Tretyakov brothers, there are now over 130,000 exhibits. Highlights include the iconic Theotokos of Vladimir which you will almost certainly recognise despite probably not knowing the name and Rublev’s Trinity which is considered to be one of highest achievements in Russian art.

An absolute must for art lovers, the State Tretyakov Gallery will delight visitors with all that is has to offer.

6. Kolomenskoye

Once a royal estate, Kolomenskoye is now a museum-reserve and lies a few kilometers outside of the city center. A captivating place to visit, there is a plethora of history on show and the site overlooks the Moskva River.

Consisting of four historical sites, there are extensive gardens for visitors to explore, as well as loads of interesting old buildings, the former village of Kolomenskoye itself and the impressive Palace of the Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich – once considered the Eighth Wonder of the World by contemporaries.

Among the many stunning sights, it is the brilliantly white Ascension Church that is the undoubted highlight – dating back to 1532.

5. Gorky Park

Lying alongside the Moskva River, the huge Gorky Park is a lovely place to visit. Its extensive gardens are home to numerous cultural institutions and visitors should definitely check out the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and while the eclectic exhibits may not always feature such incredible sights as a balloon-covered rider on a zebra; they certainly always succeed in pushing back the boundaries of art.

Pop-up exhibitions and festivals can be found from time to time in the park itself and there is an open-air theatre and numerous eateries alongside a plethora of leisure activities.

Whether it’s cycling, table tennis or yoga that you are after or beach volleyball and rowing, Gorky Park certainly has it. In winter, there is a huge ice rink for visitors to enjoy.

4. Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the main theater in the country. The amazing opera and ballet performances it has put on over the centuries go a long way in explaining Russia’s rich history of performing arts.

While the Bolshoi Ballet Company was established in 1776, the theater itself was opened in 1825. The glittering, six-tier auditorium is lavishly and decadently decorated; it is a fitting setting for the world-class performances that take place on its stage.

Spending a night watching a performance of such classics as The Nutcracker or Swan Lake at the Bolshoi Theatre is sure to be a memorable experience and the beauty all around you only adds to the sense of occasion.

3. Moscow Kremlin

This famously fortified complex is remarkably home to five palaces and four cathedrals and is the historic, political and spiritual center of the city. The Kremlin serves as the residence for the country’s president. It has been used as a fort, and this fact is made clear by its sheer size. The Kremlin’s outer walls were built in the late 1400s.

Under Ivan III, better known as Ivan the Great, the Kremlin became the center of a unified Russian state, and was extensively remodeled. Three of the Kremlin’s cathedrals date to his reign that lasted from 1462-1505. The Deposition Church and the Palace of Facets were also constructed during this time. The Ivan the Great Bell Tower was built in 1508. It is the tallest tower at the Kremlin with a height of 266 feet (81 meters).

Joseph Stalin removed many of the relics from the tsarist regimes. However, the Tsar Bell, the world’s largest bell, and the Tsar Cannon, the largest bombard by caliber in the world, are among the remaining items from that era. The Kremlin Armory is one of Moscow’s oldest museums as it was established more than 200 years ago. Its diamond collection is impressive.

The Kremlin’s gardens – Taynitsky, Grand Kremlin Public and Alexander – are beautiful. The Kremlin has also served as the religious center of the country, and there is a tremendous number of preserved churches and cathedrals here. The collections contained within the museums include more than 60,000 historical, cultural and artistic monuments. Those who enjoy the performing arts will want to consider attending a ballet or concert at the State Kremlin Palace. Completed in 1961, it is the only modern building in the Kremlin.

2. Red Square

Lying at the heart of Moscow, Red Square is the most important and impressive square in the city. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions due to its wealth of historical sights and cultural landmarks.

Drenched in history, the huge square is home to incredible sights such as the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral and Lenin’s Mausoleum, among others. Consequently, it is not to be missed when in Moscow as it really is home to the city’s most stunning monuments.

It is here that many important moments in Russian history took place; the former marketplace has hosted everything from Tsar’s coronations and public ceremonies to rock concerts and Soviet military parades. Wandering around the massive square is a humbling experience and undoubtedly one of the highlights the city has to offer.

1. Saint Basil’s Cathedral

Located in the impressive Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral is gorgeous; its delightful spires appear as if out of a fairytale. The most recognizable building in the country, the cathedral is very much a symbol of Russia. No visit to Moscow is complete without having taken in its unique and distinctive features.

Ivan the Terrible ordered the cathedral’s construction in the mid-16th century, and legend holds that Ivan put out the architect’s eyes so that he would be unable to build another cathedral more glorious than St. Basil’s. Designed to resemble the shape of a bonfire in full flame, the architecture is not only unique to the period in which it was built but to any subsequent period. For various reasons, both Napoleon and Stalin wanted to destroy the cathedral but fortunately did not succeed.

Known for its various colors, shapes and geometric patterns, St. Basil’s Cathedral houses nine different chapels that are all connected by a winding labyrinth of corridors and stairways. On the lower floor, St. Basil’s Chapel contains a silver casket bearing the body of St. Basil the Blessed.

Throughout the cathedral are many beautiful murals, frescoes, wooden icons and other art works and artifacts. Outside the cathedral is a lovely garden with the bronze Monument to Minin and Pozharsky, who rallied an all-volunteer Russian army against Polish invaders during a period of the late 16th century known as the Times of Troubles.
