Hi Folks. Here is my April contribution to Showcase. I do not want to bore you with details of conception, will just mention that this was long due. Lyrics are co-written with Ray (rayc on forum). All comments are welcomed. Oh yes, I'm a horrible hip hopper, that part I know  Thank you for giving this time. Misha. Cameraman Lyrics Coffee stains on the table Notes from an old novel Sleepy Einstein weaves his web The tide of existence, Illusion of timeline, Weathered names On memorial slabs. Ghosts are standing on the other side of the window Waiting for the Moon to arrive Silent camera man, Capturing a priceless image of time. Subscription to life-candy in wrapper Truth married fiction, cats getting fatter Cynical clowns, forgetful wizards, Ignoring the law of "rocks and scissors" Don't you close this door on me. I got the magic keys in my pocket Do,Re,Mi,Fa,So,La,Ti. Jar of pills with no label Slipping through the matrix Bouncing from feathered chicken to the egg Kicking out the traces of high fashion Quantum theory is limping on one leg. Ghosts are standing on the other side of the window waiting for their ship to arrive Silent camera man, Exposing the timeless paradigm Hearing dead presidents whisper in the wallet Bones rattling - skeletons in the closet Burned fuse, lost clues Don't you close this door on me. I got the magic keys in my pocket Do,Re,Mi,Fa,So,La,Ti.

Misha & Ray,
Speechlessly skipping around the layers of meaning and bopping to the rhythm that`s a Rusty Spoon staple -loved this!
A very creative band that changes becoming more insistent as the song goes- yours are some of the strange/best instrument choices I hear anywhere.
There are some killer lines that pop out,like "Hearing dead presidents whisper in the wallet".
My only comment on the mix ( otherwise excellent) is that the level of harmony vocals on phrases makes your lead vocal less clear.
Fantastic work!
Robert

Hi Misha and Ray,
First a Blues with David and now a hiphop with Ray!
Well you keep amazing me, but always very positively
This song certainly swings. I enjoyed that attractive rhythm very much!
I also thought to hear a touch of Indian in the singing (not in the language of course)
The lyrics are very nice. The jar of pills draw my attention when muzing how the lyrics were 'born'.
Misha, it was all very good and enjoyable. Must have been fun working with Ray!
One tiny thing: I think your vocals could use some db's in the beginning, or the band some less of it.
Hans

For those interested, writing lyrics with Misha is very easy. For me it's merely a case of using a few words, or even fewer lines, to stitch together the astounding excellent images and ideas Misha conjures every time he speaks.
I was lucky to hitch a ride on this cool tune.

That's creative. Exceedingly so.
Your accent shows and works well to augment the tune.
Ray needs to avoid the magic mushrooms when writing.... Or maybe not. Those lyrics... Wow.
Totally enjoyed it.

Hello, 'Rustyspoon' & 'rayc'... For some reason I experienced this song as though I was watching it being performed on a brilliantly colored, dynamically lit and elaborately decorated stage, as though it were a scene in some fantastical dark-themed musical channeling the myriad musings of a mind under the influence of itself multiplied by exponential degrees...or, something  . The music unleashed a full-bodied sound world of instruments, voices and FX that lent a swirling, pulsating energy to the song that was amplified by the implacable electric guitar choruses. It was as though the BeeGees were jamming with Run DMC as they sampled some Eastern European hip-hop performance. Whatever the case, the song has just a bit of a mystical feel that shed its energy long after it ended, as though it shouldn't have an end. Quite an entrancing performance, gents!

Misha & Ray,
Excellent work throughout. Wonderful inventive stuff, with an inspired choice of instruments.
The lyrics were fascinating and the vocal arrangement was superb.
Very enjoyable indeed.

Hahaha. "I'm a horrible hip hopper..." I laughed all the way to Soundcloud. Of course I stopped after pushing play. Man, those lyrics are outstanding. I was going to quote my favorite lines here, but would've ended cutting and pasting the whole thing. This song also has a cool groove that makes me alternate pointing shoulders if you can imagine that. haha. A horrible hip hopper --not a bad thing, and very appropriate for Easter Monday.

Misha & ray...
WOW! A truly EXQUISITE production. Unique. Original. Modern. An aural abstract painting. Inspiring.
LOVE the opening! ...leading into a killer rhythm for the verse. Excellent Drums choice. Use of pauses and drops is a real delight. Whatever the stab-y guitar is that comes in @ 2:10 - it is awesome!!
Vocals - and their processing - SO cool. Great layering.
And a great touch at the ending.
This is MUSIC (and music production) at its best. EXTRAORDINARY.

Hi Rustyspoon,
I like this well rhythmic composition. The chord grid is pleasant. Well-chosen instruments. And your voice lends itself perfectly to the lyrics. Well done.
Kindly regard

That has to be one of the most unique and creative productions posted here. Creative vocals and processing Creative write ... a most cool abstract tapestry Creative band ... all of it And, man, is it all wrapped up in a creative arrangement and mix. Our productions seem so linear after hearing this! A great listen (s) J&B

Our productions seem so linear after hearing this! Thanks for the generous words J&B, Collaborating with Misha is always an adventure. His patience in finding the right instrument and part is amazing. His editing is incredible and he offers something thought provoking as well as fun.

This makes me feel like I'm taking a ride through some demented version of the Disney Haunted House ride.. on acid. The word outstanding is sometime overused on this forum, but... yep, it's the right word. Catchy, funky, and with a subversive undercurrent. A heck of a lot of fun to listen to.
