Alexander turned out to be so far from his motherland due to his father. in 1990, at the age of 36, having left his wife Nataliya with little Sasha, the father had all of a sudden decided not to return from a tour to his native Belorus. he had only a violin and a suitcase with clothes.

from another point of view Igor's decision could seem strange.He had a loving family, a loving job, a pair of rooms in a communal flat. as it is said, he lived no worse than the rest.

but in those times things on the Motherland went bad. rather good wages were reduced by inflation. In 3 years afer coming to Norway...

If You Were Gone

If you were gone the moon would lose it's brightness
Without your smile the finch will sing no more
And once in a while some waves would said with sadness
Remember to lovers walking by the shore

If you were gone the days would all be pointless
And in the night I'll sing the song so blue
A song about spring and every happy moment
When I had all the time along with you

[Chorus:]
But you are here and nothing could be better
So take my hand and stay with me to dark
And will the wind is playing with your sweater
I can't imagine life if you were gone...

If you were gone the world would lose it's meaning
Without your love how could I smile again
And though the sun would always keep on shining
I'd never shine without my dearest friend

[Chorus:]
But you are here and nothing could be better
So take my hand and stay with me to dark
And will the wind is playing with your sweater
I can't imagine life if you were gone...
Foolin'

Nobody knows the way I’m feelin’
I try to scream instead I smile
The world is strange
I must be dreamin’
How can I stop this just for a while
The morning rain will soon be falling
But I don’t care ‘cause I’ve already cried
Can’t see the meaning of this
But one thing’s certain
I’m afraid I’m loosin’ my mind
Somebody else will be her boyfriend
Somebody else will have her heart
But still I love her so
How could I let her go
I was foolin’ myself

The sky is blue and birds are singing
The sun does shine
And kids are playing game
What have I done
What was I thinking
The only thing to do is hiding shame
Somebody else will be her boyfriend
Somebody else will have her heart
But still I love her so
How could I let her go
I was foolin’ myself

Somebody else will be her boyfriend
Somebody else will have her heart
But I still need her so
How could I let her go
I was foolin’ myself
I was foolin’ myself

I won't blame the hurting on you
You left in the sweetest way
I won't say that it's you
Makin' me feel this way

It's the heart and the soul and the body and the brain
Driving me insane
But the wind and the land and the fire and the rain
All will stay the same


I, I, I
Wanna roll with the wind bringing distance to everything
I, I, I
Whoa-oh

I, I, I
Wanna sit by the fire and glance at the pouring rain
I, I, I
I, I, I


I won't claim it's all 'cause of you
I guess that I played a part
It's just that I never knew
I'd fall for you from the start

There's a hole in the heart and a picture in the frame
Driving me insane
But...

No matter what they say now I’m in love,
I do it my own way cause I’m in love,
And I can't keep that song out of my mind,
Playing that silly tune all the time.

lalalalalalalalalalalalalala ... I'm in love

No matter what they say, I don’t care,
I do it any way everywhere,
I wrote this little song on my own,
She said that I’m a genius; I’m in love,

My friends say that I’m crazy, I’m just fine,
My neighbours stare at me, never mind,
Cause every time this sweetness of her smile,
My supersonic girl, I’m in love.

No matter what they say now I’m in love,
I do it my own way cause I’m in love,...
