about

Words
Eh, some stories worth telling twice!
The idea of “studio jam” with dedicated musicians nested in my head, but Levon had been reluctant for several months to start working on it. Something had to click in...
When our friend Vardan Gaboyan responded to our desperate call we began to breath again. “That is what we needed! What a great guitarist! ... Now we need a great organist!”
The only candidate I would vote for would be Eduard Peshtmaljyan. He received the demo we sent and in less than 24 hours he got back with absolutely mind-blowing parts played on different organs! (Is this what a new band could sound like?)
Mind you, all of the musicians had to spend some time learning how to play my original coda right. Not a pure jam, so to say... He-he-he!

Drawing
Well, it says it all.

lyrics

If you suddenly see me drunk, don’t be surprised.
If you catch me in bed with someone, trust your eyes.
If, somehow, I’m not the one you think I am - peace be with you!
Better join our fuzzy jam.

If you hear me laughing my lungs out - that’s me.
If you spot me throwing up, just let me be.
If you see me having fun - that’s me again.
Why shouldn’t I invite you to sing a refrain together with me?

All of those simple human joys are not that alien to me,
and I’m an ordinary person, after all,
with ups and downs and happy hours,
and I want you to remember well a very simple rule: we are all free.
Both you and me. It’s as simple as that.
I wish I could detach myself from you and that pathetic way you live,
but then I wouldn’t be able to understand the essence of the things.

That’s why I want you.
That’s why I need you.
That’s why I greet you.
That’s why I sing for you.
I play for you...
I try for you...
I cry for you...
Hmmmm...
Doo-doo-doo-be-dee-doo...
