Hi Folks. Sorry for my sporadic presence, the last few weeks were a bit hectic. I wrote this song in January. There are a couple Ukrainian reporters I am following. They conduct "casual" interviews with Russian prisoners, either captured or surrendered...Their (journalists) endgame is to help with prisoner swaps and inform young Russians of what is really going on and what is waiting for them, coming from their own "comrades". As I mentioned, interviews are taken with full voluntary consent of these pows. There are no "cuts", they just speak their mind....talking. Some of them are professional officers, but most are just disoriented, brainwashed zombies sent to do harm. These journalists have conducted hundreds of interviews and I am confident saved lives... on both sides. I hope after this ridiculous war comes to an end, they will be honored for their tremendous effort. Song, I hope, is self-explanatory. All comments are welcomed. Thank you for giving this time.
Lyrics: Old country road, Thousands miles from home Anonymous tribe of human lemmings Keep on Coming... keep on coming They forgot the meaning of the freedom, shouting name of their king Bloody Batu Khan has born again - seeding pain.
Was it a dream you saw as a child? Was it something that was said by a stranger? Wipers of world that so dark and unkind Clues of imminent danger.
Long winter nights, yet centuries pass in a blink of an eye Anonymous tribe of human lemmings They keep on dying, keep on dying They forgot the feeling of the freedom, shouting name of their king Golden Horde is born again - seeding pain
Was it a dream you saw as a child? Was it something that was said by a stranger? Wipers of world that so dark and unkind Clues of imminent danger.
Sweetbitter lies, Time is an illusion - nothing lasts forever Anonymous tribe of human lemmings They keep on sleeping, keep on sleeping. They don't know the meaning of freedom- dreaming of a brand new king. Book had opened on a random page - breaking cage.
A very tidy job tying far off history with the geographic/war mongering history of today. Sone wise. FABULOUS. You really have an affinity with ska/reggae inflected music. No nits, no scabs to pick at...excellent song, arrangement & production.

Beautiful opening. Excellent lyrics delivered in a scary voice full of admonition. Excellent song, Misha. That sounds like a fascinating project of interviews. Fine arrangement and the prefect choice of instrumentation.
An anonymous tribe of brainwashed, zombie human lemmings in allegiance to an emperor with no shirt.
Nicely done, keep your creativity going.
Hopefully the truth is being broadcast in on tv and radio frequencies. Tell your journalist friends to keep up the good work.

Human lemmings, that's a very descriptive name for the blind followers of barbarians of any time. Nice captivating intro. Rhytmically interesting and once again so much happening all the time. I really like the guitars, the funky guitar has enjoyable rhythm, the solo guitarist fits the mood. Cool chord progression. The vocals have likeable live quality.
Good to see you back on the board . . . Good write and love the back story to it. That must be very interesting following those reporters and experiencing that. But back to the song . . . you usual solid production . . . nice mix of different genre of real tracks to create a very compelling sounded. Who would have though a County Ballad guitar solo would work here . . . but it does and very well. Like that 4171 RealTrack guitar. All good stuff!
Killer Production (no pun intended). You get the most original sounds from BIAB!! Multiple listens required just to catch all the cool stuff going on. Thoughtful, thought-provoking lyrics.
Always glad to see another of your creations pop up. A true listening experience.
"inform young Russians of what is really going on" Inform young Americans about WMD's in Iraq. What is the common denominator, who created both of these. If you ask people in different countries what's going on they will usually tell you the same as their leaders and media tell them, so this would be all different. If you ask spiritually connected people in those countries they will all tell you the same thing. Just don't judge things with your physical eyes and analyze them with left brain processing. If you are in a car crash and leave your body, you leave that left brain and eyes as you see them down on the ground and your consciousness expands into all understanding. You don't come back from that drawn into simplistic mainstream narratives, it's simply impossible, but until then let's all have a good old nuclear war, that'll teach em, mission complete.
David, Thank you for listening! Reference to Golden Horde is of Mongol invaision of Russia / Kievan Rus. That made pretty much most native people suffer in the region. -- Dave, Thank you for giving this time and your feedback! Sadly seems so. -- Ray, Thank you for listening and your thoughtful feedback! -- Bob, Thank you for listening and your feedback here and on SC! -- Vic, Thank you! -- Marty, Thank you for kind words. Yep, those journalists are doing extremely important and life saving work. -- David, Thank you for listening. Yes, that's the message, referring to historical conflict. -- Bass Thumper, Thank you for your feedback! More like emperor with rotten brain. -- B.D. Thank you for the feedback. It didn't start as a reggae, but it just worked -- Scott, Thank you for your feedback here and on SC! -- Mario, Thank you for giving this time! "This could be said about any war." - exactly. -- Peter, Thank you for listening and commenting. -- Janne, Thank you for giving this time and your feedback! Sad that Finland has to deal with this nonsense too in a big way. Have you ever heard Niet Molotoff song by Matti Jurva? -- Deej, Thank you for listening and your kind feedback! -- FJ, Thank you for listening and your support! -- Musocity, Thankfully, we have access to a lot of information and can make educated judgements. -- Scott, Thank you for giving this time and your support.
