Hi Folks.
Here is one of my latest tunes. Yes, it's a blues... There were so many strong blues oriented songs posted lately in Showcase... I decided to give it some time, so people dont think its some kind of blues rebellion happening here. When I completed the tune, I knew something was missing, and I knew a perfect man who could infuse it with the right ingredients.  I was lucky and David Bell graciously recorded his magic, giving the arrangement a true human feel.
The idea came from reading 19th c.-early 20th c. literature. Seems very little has changed in human psychology. At times I find mental support in written thoughts of people long gone.... "friends from another time". Enough me talking. All comments (especially critical ones) are always welcomed. Thank you.
Misha.

A Friend From Another Time

Lyrics:
When the day is gone
and emotions surrender to rhythm of the body,
There nowhere to run, no place left for hiding.
When all doors are shut and seems no way out,
a friend from another time clears my doubts.
A friend from a parallel time eases my mind.

Dream of the world, that's better than TV man preaching.
Dream of a phoenix that rising from ash.
Blue sky - that has no limits
Making a wish on a "fallen lash".

When the night is young, and emotions surrender to rhythm of the body,
There nowhere to run, no place for hiding.
And when nothing seems right,
time runs through fingers like sand...
A friend from another time offers his hand.

Dream of a world, that's better than TV man preaching.
Dream of a phoenix that rising from ash.
Blue ocean, sad songs of the whales,
that are heard many miles from shore.
