Lonely boat (Самотній човен)

New arrangement and reading, Not singing )

Nice Sound :-)
It's not really my scene but it seems hypnotic and well constructed.
The production seems good with plenty of space and ebb and flow in the piece.
It would be great to have a translation of the words if that was possible to see how the music fits with the words.

I'm listening here in my office as I work. This piece really works for me in this way......as a kind of a momentary soundtrack to my day. In that respect, a translation isn't even necessary as the vocals are a perfect part of the track just as they are.   

Nice work here.

Thank You folk!
I tried to translate, I'm not sure that this is exactly what I wrote in my native language! Approximately so )


In the sky the moon shines again.
Cold light warms the night.
The tide of a month
will prick a lonely boat in the distance.

That boat that floats away
In the boundless, blue ocean
Go where the stork is flying
Wounded and do not hear the wounds

These wounds were caused by people
For fun, just like that
Nobody knows what will happen to him
White-winged bird flies forward

Flies all over the storm and whirlwind
Through deserts and forests
And only his dream is warming up
Get to native land

The sun is shining in the sky again
And the warm light is warming the day
Gives hope to come back
Hear the native songs as well

But there is no place in the native land
For that bird, for songs
No one here waiting for her
And it's dark for her day

And the bird fell like a stone
In the arms of his native land
And for goodbye, he sang
 Saddest call – Sorry

Sorry for not being able to
I'll get back to the stranger's land
That land that I lost
My home is not my place for a long time

In the sky the moon shines again.
Cold light warms the night.
The tide of a month
will prick a lonely boat in the distance.

it's lovely (of course!). if you send me the string parts digitally (and the mp3 of everything else), with the tempo marking, i have a softer, more lush string sound, which i think will provide a perfect cradle. i also think you just have to bite the bullet and pay for a well-mic-ed live percussionist/drummer. that will lift it to the level it deserves. just my thoughts. but goosebumps near the end there, regardless. nothing to lose.. but just my thoughts, as i say. no worries, otherwise. alan x

The result of co-operation with Alan French (added bass track, new strings, claps) new mixing and mastering

Yuriy, mate,
You really don't have to feature me on Soundcloud or anything. It is enough that you liked what I did (which wasn't much). Honestly. But thank you. Alan

@shatiks & @alan french
The original was posted before I became a Kitchener.
And it’s not possible to go back and listen to what’s posted in the past. Simply a matter of time.

So, I’ve limited myself to listening to the new version.
And I have always liked shas’ songs. But maybe Alan is being a bit modest about his contributions?
Well, it’s not important I guess. I think it’s a great collaboration.

I hope that more kitcheners take the time to give it a thorough listening to.
Kind regards, Gus
