Spring Song – new song lyrics

Out in the street

the winter's shedding her disguise

and people smile

and look into each other's eyes

You walk with me

the air's fragrant like a ball

I can't say why

but I am feeling ten feet tall

 

And everyone can hear my melody unfold

the time has come to open up and let go of the old

because it's Spring

there must be something better on the way

awakening, I raise my voice to this Life.

 

You're by my side

Your every word is fresh and new

it must be spring that made me fall in love with you

the green makes way through overwhelming gray concrete

and I can see the flowers blooming down the street

 

And everyone can hear my melody unfold

the time has come to open up and let go of the old

because it's Spring

there must be something magic on the way

awakening, I realize that

 

I want you to stay

I want you to stay

I want you to stay

 

You say to me: 'I know exactly what you mean;

If you say "Go!" – I'll throw my caution to the winds

You may be right and we're a temporary thing

but here's our chance to taste a little bit of spring'..

 

So everyone can hear our melody unfold

the time has come to open up and let go of the old

because it's Spring

there must be something better on the way

and when we sing, we raise our voices to Life.

(EIK@ 2012)

Official Website Is Here!

We have finally launched the new official website, which includes the Store page, Videos, Photos and everything else in one place.

I am also excited to present the Beatrix Story Map, which is a way for me to roll out the story I wrote in the past year. It's a story of time traveling adventure, love and the heroine's name is – you guessed it – Beatrix.

I will still use my blog, of course, but you are encouraged to go to http://www.elizaveta.com and look around a bit. I promise you will not be disappointed.

New music, videos & covers coming soon. Sign up on the left to be part of the Email List and get special updates and free download links. 

Thanks for being part of my adventure.

A Very Special Art Exhibit – This Saturday!

 

As you may know, I have been working for a while with a wonderful artist i102fly, or Melissa Washington, who is a great photographer, graphic designer, painter, Renaissance woman and much more. She also happens to be a dear friend of mine.

This Saturday, November 17, she is holding her first Los Angeles exhibit, featuring outtakes from her graphic travel journals and other works. It will be a remarkable event. It’s at the art space of another friend and renowned artist Paulin Paris, who will also present some of his newer works.

I will sing a song or two to celebrate the occasion! It is an open launch, so please join us if you are reading this and are in the area.

It is also open to public the following day – Sunday – from 11 to 2 pm.

Yes… and an important tidbit: there will be WINE…:)

Here are a couple of graphics of i102fly's art pieces I love – but there are so many!

Santa Ana winds

I have a bad head cold. No, it's not the ocean swimming – or at least I don't think so. It's definitely a virus. But whatever it is, I can't breathe through my nose.

I do have to record tomorrow. It will be interesting. I will sound like Adele-meets-Amy probably, not the usual soprano self.

The new website is launching tomorrow night.

The Santa Ana winds are here. Change is afoot.

NYC

I am in NYC, and after riding bikes in Central Park and getting a near heatstroke (try climbing a hill on a bike in humid 100 degrees!), I went to my rehearsal and found myself racing down the street through a thunderstorm. As we rehearsed in a cubby hole underground, the roof started leaking. So, all in all a day of brilliant adventure, which also included great food, which is not at all unusual in New York.

In other news, my iTunes Session Release has climbed the charts and here I am at #13:

We also re-mastered & re-released my older EP Breakfast with Chopin – you can now find it on iTunes and it deserves a whole separate blog entry for itself, but for now, here is the new video we just made for the title track. We enjoyed doing this and I am glad Breakfast with Chopin now has a video all its own.

 

 

Tomorrow I am doing some press, rehearsing some more and Friday is the show. I'll be happy to celebrate this release in NYC, the city where I was born. It doesn't ever make it easy for me, but I love it very much. Who wants easy anyway? Not me. Ok, sometimes. But tonight I am here, I can feel and hear the buzz of the Big Apple and I am looking forward to the next two days.
