A story behind 'Magic Night Live'
I'm inviting everybody to check out pretty much the most significant thing I have done so far: Stas & Alex's Magic Night Live - our humble acoustic show.

All three are in the playlist below.

I decided to write about my first trip to Japan, my impressions and stuff that surprised me the most.

Hello world! We've been working on something with Alex lately. And it's not even one of my songs (yay!). We've wanted to record an acoustic cover for one of the greatest songs, "Love of my Life" (F. Mercury), for a long time. However, what's the point of recording it if it might get deleted from YouTube, right? But since, at some point (I don't know when exactly), YouTube changed the policy, now allowing people to share revenue with the rights owner (thus, compensating unpaid royalties), we decided to do it...

I think that Richard Marx's "Endless Summer Nights" is one of the most beautiful and at the same time one of the saddest love songs ever written. We recorded a "live" acoustic cover...
