We took him to the train
Cross the border
The city with no name and no rivers
The windows all became pure and golden
The promises of kings
And their orders
The city with no river sings
Now in my dreams he's there
In the darkness
The careless river path, there in cursive
Written in his hand like a warning
The ones we never found waiting for us
The city with no river sings

So ein Quatsch - ich wechsle zu AccuRadio - Tschüss




They have a great "Old-Fashioned Christmas" mix you'll probably like...

Basis Bulat could sing the phone book and I'd be enthralled.

With a name like "Basia", she would be unmistakably Polish. (Basia, pronounced "basha"  is the diminutive form of "Barbara" in Polish)
Cheers! 

 
Thanks!  I had a Russian sweetie in Moscow named Maria, or Masha in the diminutive, also a good friend Alexander, or Sasha, for short.   I did not know that about Polish (I am of Polish descent as well).

7 > > 8.  I do like this artist.  Really like a few that mostly garner negative comments but positive ratings.

I want a Basia Bulat-Colby Calais-Michelle Morgan-Rachael Roberts collaboration. Heads at CBC Radio 2 would explode.

RP listeners in general don't seem to be very fond of this one. I love it! Often listened to this one through the headphones (mp3 that is) and it's not off-key, but somehow hearing this song via RP, it sounds like it's lowered half a tone. Also, i really love the outro.

 

It's a 9 for me!

Not extremely impressed. Don't mind the quiver voice, but the arrangement and overall tune...sounds disjointed to me.
