Hi Folks! The Showcase seems a little empty, so I decided to add my November contribution to fill in the gap  It is not a serious tune by any means. I had a pleasure dancing with seasonal flu recently, perhaps this is a product of that relation bonded by Nyquil. Thank you for listening! Latent Substances Lyrics: Stale coffee on a table, milk got funky in a fridge Cockroaches in the kitchen playing bridge House flies shaving legs and tightening garter belts Cellar spider in tuxedo serving them cocktails Tiny puncture leaking in a worn respirator Those are magical and lucid dreams of an old exterminator Wolves are singing Rigoletto under pale moon Coons are eating crème brulee with a silver spoon Beaver chewing fine tobacco, reading local Times Vicious rabbit stopping turtles, issuing traffic fines That prescription bottle dropped by a hiker by a white pine Those are beautiful and magic dreams of a spiky porcupine We-the animals of sacred forest, must unite to stop our common enemy humanoids...Who are ravaging our land and bringing havoc to our safe communities. Rooster barking on a roof: woof-woof Cow is singing like a cat: meow, meow Pigs are manicuring hoofs, ducks are playing Golf-Croquet Happy family... Ohh that open can of gasoline - shouldn't be left open in trunk That beautiful and strange dream of a rancher in a barn. --------------------------------------------------------------- Tech stuff: Band: 921:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 110 3261:Cello, Rhythm CelticReelChoppingNatalieAB Ev16 110 923:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BossaFreeComp Ev 110 2715:Guitar, Nylon, Background SwingBrent Sw 110 1155:Organ, B3, Rhythm Reggae Ev16 100 RealDrums:BossaTerryClarke^2-a:Brushes , b:Blastix Loops.

Misha,
Another incredibly imaginative musical composition.
Truly seductive musical bed. Weaved together perfectly.
A lyric like a Grimm fairly tale. Extraordinary.
Love the vocals.
Exceptional mix. Delicate.
Delightful.

Whoa! Janice commented immediately that this could be a screenplay for a Tim Burton movie, e.g., Beetlejuice. Then she further mentioned that she is reminded of Maurice Sendak's books with his illustrations and use of animals as characters. So what a video this would make! Everything about this is superb. Vocals, aforementioned write, the band, the arrangement and whatever we didn't mention Creative to the max! Enjoyed it. J&B

Hallucination of a cough syrup sipper.
REALLY good fun and an other indication of the steam punk Kafkaesque world you so beautifully illustrate.
Musically? FABULOUS.
Cheers

Hi Misha. Witty , creative , unique , entertaining irreverent humour. No shortage of superlatives to describe your brilliant music. Ohh...and your accent is really cool.

Misha...I think I have to run to the liquor store and get a pint of vodka, then guzzle it down, and listen again--just to get the full measure of your visions. So creative, totally free (on the lyric side) of convention--love it. I can never figure out where you're going with each succeeding line--both on the story side and the music side--it's all so unexpected. I especially liked the voice doubling that you did -- octaves?

Trippin on NyQuil. Next time read the directions for the correct dosage. Very imaginative and very well put together. One of the most creative pieces ever posted here. Bravo, Tom

Very creative as usual, and lots of fun too.

OH MY!
That was KILLER!!!!
Very enjoyable listen.
So imaginative and mystical.
Those lyrics conjure up a vivid elution.
The music is a perfect highway for the traveler following your journey.
Loved It!
I do have an issue..........
You said the place was empty.................yikes!
I've only been here a few months and I'm amazed at the amount of talent on display (yours included).
I can hardly keep up with all the great song here.
If it was any busier I'd be overwhelmed.

Fun listening, very visual cinematic story with a strong message, "can of gasoline - shouldn't be left open in trunk" nice line to leave something for the listener's imagination Creative combination of instruments from different styles. Janne

What a cool song Misha. I got a chuckle out of the title. I knew it was going to be a fun song. The backtrack was just awesome. The vocal and lyric was just stellar. Very cool effects. I am with Janice and Bud on this one. What a cool track this would make in a Tim Burton movie. Well done

Misha, what can I say that I haven't said before.
Whenever I am feeling smug about a lyric I wrote, I read yours and eat a piece of humble pie.
What a wild ride:
"Rooster barking on a roof: woof-woof
Cow is singing like a cat: meow, meow
Pigs are manicuring hoofs, ducks are playing Golf-Croquet
Happy family..." Hahahahhahahahaaaaaaa!

Misha,
that's the kind of madness I really dig - awesome lyrics wrapped in the perfect song. So funny - I promise that I will return to that song several times. What a gas...
Take care,
Stefan

Hi Misha,
While I was visiting Mexico and saw strange things overthere, I couldn't have dreamed you come with a song that surpassed all that easily!
What a beautiful surrealism you used in your lyrics and how nice did it fit in this song. Your vocals did very well here to emphasizes this effect. I agree with Gary Weder and Jptjptjpt your accent sounds great here.
Your instruments sounded so bright and crisp or whatever words you can use for this sound of the instruments or backtrack. You have improved a lot on that.
I asked you before, how does these ideas for your songs come to you? Is there still a lockdown in your city? Can you visit liquor shops?
Where have you been before writing it?
No, forget it, I am telling nonsense. You made a very cool song and I love it.
Till next song!
Hans

This is phenomenal. One question: how on Earth did you get the idea to write something like this? It works, though - no matter how you got the idea for it :-) So well woven together, in every single way. Well done - a small masterpiece in its own way and in its own right.
