Alex Genadinik is a singer-songwriter influenced by both US and Russian singers like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bulat Okudzhava, and Vladimir Vysotskly. Alex's songs feature imaginative poetry and beautiful, thoughtful lyrics that are bound to make you daydream into new worlds. Alex also runs www.problemio.com and www.waveifyoulike.com
This song is a translation from an older but popular Russian song. Alex Genadinik translated this song from Russian and re-wrote a large part of it that he thought can be improved. Many of the songs we tend to like have imperfect poetry if you dissect the poetry enough. That is what Alex did and he made some interesting adjustments. The ending of the song became quite imaginative and sad. Alex says "there are a few lines in the first verse that I could have made better, but overall I am pretty happy with how the song came out"
I agree. The song's story feels complete and the song works. It is an emotional tear-jerker. Give it a listen and see for yourself..
