From biography
Timofeev Gennady Tarasovich was born in 1954 in Belarus. The whole family — parents and brother — loved music. Gennady often, walking near the older guys, heard them sing along with the guitar. Sometimes they asked to look after the tool. He took the guitar, repeated chords, and at home tried to achieve good sound.
Creative career
He wrote the first song in the army and dedicated it to the girl whom he had loved since the 4th grade, but was afraid to confess. When he returned, she got married. So the song was born - "Mistress of the bar."
Fame came when he became the winner of the "Strings of Hope" festival, then - the "Slavic Autumn" festival and the "Afghan" song festival. Released seven albums and two discs. G. Timofeev is the author of the anthem of the Shakhtar basketball team and the Forward Song of the Shakhtar football club.

Timofeev, you can find works of different genres, but mostly - chanson. “Autumn Woman”, “Lilac Branch”, “Black Thursday”, “Mistress of the Bar”, etc. are distinguished by openness, penetration.

"Treasured field" and "Old Man Don"
The song "Treasured Field" is like a prayer. The author saw in a dream a place where there is no trouble, where people live peacefully, like bees in hives. He asks God for hope that God will hear him and help people. The author increasingly sees this dream in which he tries to get to the Lord, touch his clothes and burst into tears. This dream of unfading field is for him as a hope for a calm life.
As the most important close relative was called in antiquity, the author called “The Old Man Don” named the song about the mighty river. Probably, everyone at the sight of such a magnificent river will have a desire to bow to him. He protected from enemies, but was quiet for friends. The one who was born here recalls his cradle and how his father and his Cossack friends wished Don, his tributary Osseredi and the city of Pavlovsk hello.
"White geese" and "Good-for-nothing son"
The song "White Geese" about a man in distress - behind bars. He sees free birds flying under the strong caring wing of the leader. The geese returned to their homeland, but a different fate was destined for the person from whom everyone turned away. He is already gray-haired and has long been accustomed to the "breath of death." It is good that he, like all people, can see the flight of these beautiful birds, their return to their homeland.
A man, a “bad guy”, the hero of a song of the same name in distant lands, guarded by a convoy, recalls his mother. He asks her not to scold him for the lack of letters, and her prayers fill him with the breath of his life. There is a bitter admission that he is a bad-ass son. He has only one desire - to warm himself, as in childhood, in the arms of his mother. Every day the thoughts of this man with his mother. He asks for forgiveness from her and really wants her to wait for him. After all, he did not stop loving her.
Song of the Hired Killer and Snake
Recognition Song. Performed in the first person. The singer was worried about the murder of Vlad Listyev, Alexander Me, Dmitry Kholodov and managed to reveal the creed of a terrible person. The author gives him a chance of salvation: the killer cries in a dream. Maybe he will still save his soul.
The song "Snake" shows the fate of the girl - to be crucified on a pole in a tavern where she performs. All the men watching her are agitated, bewitched, carried away by her young and beautiful body. And the author, who looks at her and presents her as a snake, has a pain in his heart.
