Not the moon drawing on me with a piece of chalk,
Nor a bird on the branch waiting for a Spring
Not the mocker nor the mocked
Or an elvish song in MP3
Nothing, nothing…
Not all the scientists with their nerdy telescopes
Not a home-bird, nor a skipper who crossed the globe
Nothing meets eternity...
Лети, птичка, лети ... лети...
Not the symbolism of a tiny leaf
Not a boundless sky, neither a forest nor a tree,
Not Egon Schiele nor Archip Kuindży
Neither Vrubel’s lilacs nor all his demons
Nothing, nothing…
Mais j’ai un peu d’espoir
Un bel et mince espoir
Лети, птичка, лети ... лети...
В поисках тепла и света*
Маюсь я, но что-то в этом есть
От меня и то и это
Зимний город прячет где-то
Здесь

Лети, птичка, лети ... лети...
Not the moon drawing on me with a piece of chalk,
Nor a bird on the branch waiting for a Spring
Лети, птичка, лети ... лети...
Not the mocker nor the mocked
Or an elvish song in MP3
Лети...

I jokingly refer to myself as “First Among Equals” at Quicksilver Night and, while I am deeply involved in all aspects of
productions
at each step, I know that cannot do this alone. I am very grateful for the support of my song-specific collaborators and tech-savvy friends.
Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black
