Hi Folks. Here is recent collaboration with Ray C. (rayc on forum). With Ray it is almost impossible to predict where song will lead to...and I like that  Ray came up with super lyrics (unfortunately I had to chop some things off, to make them fit) and also played bass on it. Critical thoughts are ALWAYS welcomed. Thank you for listening! Misha. Love Will Eat Itself
Tech stuff: Ray-Bass, lyrics Misha-Arrangement, vocals, mix.

Mixed in Cakewalk. Love will eat itself It is the ouroboros affliction Obtaining wholeness only from infection Infinity defines the strength of its affection Conceit offers others only its rejection Love will eat itself Passion consumes all else Love will eat itself Couples’ decoupling tells Love will eat itself Messiah metaphors Love will eat itself Megalomanic indoors Love will eat itself It’s the haughtiest damnation sufficient inclination Ubiquitous fascination Pervasive regeneration Love will eat itself Our history repeats Love will eat itself In every conceit Love without greed Every act second guessed Messianic metaphors And meglomanic meat Love will eat itself Taking body and soul Love burns the will like coal Perpetual pain takes a toll Each love blends into the one role

Hi Misha and Ray, The very first thought I had was...  The sound of this is nothing short of sensational! Everything about this presentation made me sit up and pay attention... music, lyrics, Misha's excellent vocals, top notch arrangement, fantastic production. I really enjoyed this one a great deal! All the best, Noel

Lyrically ambitious and a bit out there but you made it work. I always value creativity, lyrics are as important as any other aspect of the song, IMHO. You kept my interest musically and lyrically.

Be fair Misha,
I just keep dribbling words and you hive off the stuff that's half decent before finally telling me when it's time to stop.
THEN you blend the words in your mouth to make melodies performed with great expression AS WELL AS making a musical bed all of that can recline upon.
Played bass should probably be played around with a bass for a bit!
I think you've made a cracker tune mate. Something some smart producer/record company or "artiste" should snap up.
Cheers

Hi Misha and Ray,
You did a good job together with this song. Misha, your voice is much louder here than in your other song.
And somewhere in the back I heard strange noises. Then realized it was Ray 'dribbling the words' as he stated in his post above (this is a joke.
It's nice to read that BB-artist work more and more together making good songs!
Continue your collaboration, it pays off so to hear!
Hans

Very clever writing! And I learned another new word, needed to google "ouroboros" :P
I always like listening to your productions, you always do something interesting. Love the slide guitar, the way you just bring it in when needed to add the fills. Nice hearing the live bass in there too.
Very nice Misha and Ray, I'm on my second listen as I type this.

Misha and Ray. What creative souls you both are! The backtrack of this one is simply astounding! The ambience created by that guitar is wonderful! Your vocals are great again, I always enjoy them! Loved that little thing at the end with the laughter! Great work! Thanks, Torrey

Noel, Those are BIG words Thank you very much for listening and very encouraging comments! -------------- Ember, Thank you! -------------- Tangmo, Thank you for your time and cool comment! -------------- TuneMonger, Thank you for listening! Rays lyrics were challenging on this one for me too I took quite a few takes to get them right and then it just snapped together and fit like a puzzle -------------- Ray, You know that is not true. I would never done this without your lyrics and help. I mean, I would still write, but it would be half the strength Thank you! -------------- Hans, Thank you for giving this your ears! I hope Ray is not mad about your joke You are right about loud vocals, I should try to mix this more a bit. -------------- Dave, I had to google ouroboros too Thank you for listening and excellent comments! ------------- Bob, Thank you! I appreciate your comments! ------------- Torrey, Thank you for listening and for extra nice comments! Lucky for me, Ray was not too hard on me for twisting his lyrics a bit, so it was a pressure free project. ------------ Janne, thank you for stopping and for nice words! Initially it was supposed to be a pop tune....It took slight turn ------------ Christian, Thank you for listening and positive thoughts! ------------ Jim, Thank you for giving this time and nice comment! Video...Ohh boy...Ray is in trouble ! ------------ Will, Your comments made me crave for cold champagne If I remember correctly the last words/wish of dying Russian writer Anton Chekhov was asking for champagne. I think it was very poetic Thank you for listening! Misha.

"Love will eat itself
Our history repeats
Love will eat itself
In every conceit
Love without greed
Every act second guessed
Messianic metaphors
And meglomanic meat"
Sad but quite true...
As we commented at SC, "Full of mystique and sonic goodness!"
Nothing sounds "out of place" - everything works well together toward enhancing the mystique of the lyric, melody and the whole band groove.
And, hey, one does not hear "ouroboros" very often...particularly in a song!
Well done in write, arrangement and performances.

Hi Misha,
I think I was too vague with what I said about your louder voice.
I appreciated that louder sound. It was not at all a complain.
And I think Ray is already mad at me. You're too late I'm afraid...
Hans

You guys are one of the best (and quirkiest!) collaboration teams I`ve heard on this forum.
Lots going on behind that unique vocal- it all meshes well to these ears.
Take this as a passing thought,please...at some point I wanted the rhythm section to be funkier, or edgier ( a la Talking Heads).
Strange is good done the RayC/Misha way!
Robert
