Marina's Notes:
I almost never write in Russian
anymore. I live in America and speak English every day, and most of the time I think in
English too. But I started writing THIS song in Russian. Sitting by the window, you watch
the snow melt and disappear, and you feel like a part of you is disappearing too. You've
lost someone very special, and you will never see them again. Everything feels dark and
heavy, and you are wondering about the whole meaning of life, whether heaven is simply our
wishful thinking. When I was finished writing this song, it felt like an enormous load had
been lifted off my chest as I've wanted to say what I said in this song my whole life.
