Blast from the Past

We discovered the following video of VITAS recording for Russia's legendary composer Alexandra Pahmutova. In the video Pahmutova suggests to VITAS to use high tone, saying that why use someone else to back you up, where as you can sing high tone yourself.

"STARRY RIVER"



HERE IS THE FINAL RESULT OF THAT RECORDING:



Starry River (translated by Natalie)

A starry river of the sky...
Parting on the map...
I love you but for the time being
"Farewell" I say, "farewell"
I am the one who burns bridges
And I don't hear prayers
I am frightened to come down
To the ground from proud heights

In the age of sorrow and losses
We are both unhappy
The light of earthly icon-lamps may go out
But not the stars
We go away from ourselves
Into bad weather and growth
But the fate is determined
By the stars, by the stars

Even the starry ocean
Is unstable today
Our cosmic love affair
Is over, is over...
A starry river of the sky...
Parting on the map...
I love you but for the time being
"Farewell" I say, "farewell"

Those lucid eyes of yours
Are beautiful like stars
Days and voices may fade out
But not the stars...
A starry river of the sky...
Parting on the map...
I love you but for the time being
"Farewell" I say, "farewell"
