when I listen to songs one before the
last from album radio contact I had a
feeling that you imagined this song like
the first is only guitar and then your
partners are searching for the same
feeling for every song in particular
yellow blue tibia
that was a strange noise that's the yes
that was really a kind of solo guitar
track but I wanted to add some and some
other kind of instruments to to
orchestrate her over say that again
because I don't know how you say it in
Russia say in Russian yeah yeah tibia
new blue blue blue around the petechial
ooh blue I knew that but I wasn't
exactly sure exact pronunciation but
well you choose this name just control
him
oh when I was a boy I was kind of fell
in love with the idea of a Russia and I
I always thought it was terribly
romantic and I always wanted to go and
in fact I did go when I was a student I
was so determined to come to to Russia
but I I drove in a little car I drove
through Norway Sweden Finland and into
Russia and when I drove right the way
through it and this was a long long time
ago and that for me was a kind of dream
come true it was very difficult actually
then to get a visa and get all the right
papers and everything but I've always
kind of had this thing about Russia as
being a very very romantic place so did
you get this romantism inertia in that
time nothing is funny actually because I
want to remember the things I remember
was I went with a girlfriend and we were
you know choose my new girlfriend and we
were sort of in love and and I remember
in walking through the streets holding
hands and I remember people thinking
this is the most obviously the most
strange thing is people used used to
laugh at us and thought it was obviously
very very odd thing to do a very Western
thing to do I suppose you know but we
had such a good time there and it was
such an interesting place I remember I
had my 21st birthday in Moscow camping
and
remember I drank a lot of vodka it was
very very cheap and so I've always had
this I've always enjoyed the idea of
Russia and also I liked I liked a lot of
Russian music I liked a lot of composers
you know like rap manonoff I I found the
music terribly romantic and I think
that's what kind of inspired me in my
head to have to write that song
