'rayc' and Misha!!!

Gentlemen, you two truly created a unique mood and feel through your collaboration on your song, Managed with Strife. The lyrics were toxically descriptive (I hope I never run into the person that did all those terrible things, ha-ha smile !!!), and the music threw a darkly revealing and chilling light on them with its driving, despairing anti-energy.

Misha, you sang those lyrics like someone who'd just awakened from a nightmare. Listening to you reminded me of being in the presence of a person who was in a state of temporary shock after enduring a traumatic experience. Their voice was little more than a dazed drone as they attempted to remember what had actually happened to them. As far as my impression of your performance is concerned, I'd say you functioned as much as a perceptively interpretive actor in the song, as you also filled the role of the singer in it.

'rayc', your unsettling composition and its implacable arrangement were clearly (to me, at least) the result of you having a vivid, well-formed idea of what you wanted to hear in the finished 'product'. I say that because the song felt like a sudden eruption of feelings, like something that got out of you before you knew it had freed itself, and not something that you worried over for a long time.

Am I right about that?

Regardless, the song is an intense listening experience that dares the listener to try to escape from it.

Bravo, gents! It's a memorable, 'caught in the headlights' kind of collaboration.

Truly-ooly,

LOREN
