Analect 2.708xs



29 April 2010. This morning--an empty table where my copyshop computer once sat. Dust and scratches, Plan B...

But what is Plan B?

Listening to a Mark Bernes song, seat by the window, view onto Solano. The year is 1946, from the film, Bolshaya Zhizn II (A Great Life). The song-- Tri Goda Ty Mne Snilas'--Three Years I've Dreamed of You. Bernes face filling the screen--cap tucked back on his head, simple guitar just behind. A Soviet everyman, but with thoughtful face... "I keep my dream of you..." Minor chords, hinting at the major, something brighter, then returning...

Both strength and tenderness...

For the song itself: Три Года Ты Мне Силась
