I keep re-recording the vocals on this (the guitar is... meh, it's fine for now). I think the vocals are slowly getting closer to what I want. Eventually maybe I'll get the whole song where I want it, or maybe I'll eventually call up with an actual audio engineer who has an actual studio...
probably not this week.
Koloda Duda is a cossack #folk song, sometimes described as a #Ukrainian and sometimes as Don Cossack in origin; it comes from the part of the steppe where these questions of national identity have not been simple over time. This version is in the #Russian language.
It is a song of loss and sorrow. Sometimes, there is nothing else to be said, of #war.
The lyrics, translated, are:
Koloda-duda, where have you been?
I have been watching the horse- watching the horse.
and where is the horse?
By the gate.
Where is the gate?
The water has washed it away.
Where are the geese?
They have gone to the reeds.
- and where are the reeds?
The girls have gathered them.
Where are the girls?
They have gone, with their husbands.
and where are those cossacks?
They have all gone to war.
Нет войне.
@regina_nyckelharpista BTW, do you know @monviolon ?

Listening to this while making a sandwich, I couldn’t help starting to dance. It’s Tom Moore and Archie Moss’s “Pop One”.
Which means that for the first time in aages it is #TuneswapTuesday - has anyone else got a #FolkTune they’d like to share?

Welp. Pushed the wrong button and accidentally released my record a couple of weeks early...
Might as well download it yourself!
For all that, I'm very proud of this record. I hope you enjoy...

Advertising signs they con
You into thinking you’re the one
That can do what’s never been done
That can win what’s never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you
