hi everybody,
One day, @Silvia80 asked me why I didn’t sing in my native language. I’m getting better, Silvia!
Here’s my cover of Evgeny Margulis’ iconic song “My Friend”.
There is little guitar in the original and no solo at all, all the beauty comes from the piano.
So I had to tinker with the keys a lot - I love syncopation and big second intervals 
But since we have a guitar forum, I came up with a guitar solo - I think it didn’t ruin the overall work.
There are English lyrics here:
My friend
1.Collar up, pocket’s empty
He’s not young and always drunk
He’s on edge - don’t approach
He always leaves alone
But my friend
Plays the blues better than anyone
Cooler than anyone around
He plays the blues
2.He doesn’t know clever words
He thinks you’re a bunch of goats
He’ll even play in the morgue
He doesn’t care about cheers
But my friend
Plays the blues better than anyone
Cooler than anyone around
He plays the blues
3.Night - on the exhale, day - on the inhale
Someone survived, someone died
The soul flies doomed
From saxophone to knife
But my friend
Plays the blues better than anyone
Cooler than anyone around
He plays the blues
Instr.
4.Collar up, gun’s empty
He’s not young and always drunk
The soul flies doomed
From saxophone to knife
But my friend
Plays the blues better than anyone
Cooler than anyone around
He plays the blues
But my friend
Plays the blues better than anyone
Cooler than anyone around
He plays the blues
