Story behind the song
This is for Jude's russian challenge. The lyrics are a translation of Alexander Pushkins poem "Thoughts". I have found the translation on this site: http://www.pushkins-poems.com/index.htm incase you are inspired to read more
Lyrics
Thoughts (1829) If I walk the noisy streets, Or enter a many thronged church, Or sit among the wild young generation, I give way to my thoughts. I say to myself: the years are fleeting, And however many there seem to be, We must all go under the eternal vault, And someone's hour is already at hand. When I look at a solitary oak I think: the patriarch of the woods. It will outlive my forgotten age As it outlived that of my grandfathers'. If I dandle a young infant, Immediately I think: farewell! I will yield my place to you, For I must fade while your flower blooms. Each day, and every hour I habitually follow in my thoughts, Trying to guess from their number The year which brings my death. And where will fate send death to me? In battle, in my travels, or on the seas? Or will the neighbouring valley Receive my chilled ashes? And although to the senseless body It is indifferent wherever it rots, Yet close to my beloved countryside I still would prefer to rest. And let it be, beside the grave's vault That young life forever will be playing, And impartial, indifferent nature Eternally be shining in beauty.

Yet another fantastic tune here Lasse. Beautiful piano, stunning drums and the bass is just right in the mix. World class vocal and such an original idea to use Pushkin's words. And then the guitars!!! - you have 3 of the finest players here, and your tune has drawn fantastic performances from them all. Absolutely brilliant!

Great concept setting Pushkins verses into music! Piano and melody complement the feel of the old poem very well. Great job on the vocals! The Drums & bass are also very well performed & the guitar solos from Morten Paul and Finn round this one off with class! Great job from all.

The opening piano is heart wrenching, and sets the mood for the vocal brilliantly, The drums & bass add a nice ballad feel to the mix, and make a wonderful background to your vocals, and those sizzling guitars from Morty, Paul & Finn!! Well done guys!
