Lyrics - Andrey Voznesensky
Music - Nadir Shamuhamedov
(When I sang it for the first time, I was 23 years old and madly in love...)

English Translation:

Play, grasshopper, play,
Oh, my acoustic grasshopper!
And in these delicious musics
Save all meadows of August...

Play the azure of forest
And  the organs of Lielupe pines,
Sing me a song about the happiness
Of an flighty woman,
Because she is all, I live by...

Play, green music fan!
Our romance is orchestrated with sadness...
Love is not a musical toy,
But it’s also scary to break it.

Play, grasshopper, play, don't stop,
After all, your life is even shorter,
Than the lives of other musicians,
Even though they are not eternal too...

«Grasshopper». Op. 04. 1983.

When I sent Mike Fox the acoustic track never did I think in my wildest dreams that he would produce such a mix  of sounds.
The brief was a modern pop track in the realm of Louis Capaldi / Ed Sheeran that sort of thing.
And what I got was an amazing piece of nostalgia 70s Chic  v 80s club which I actually bloody loved.
Just shows that it’s best to trust the process and let these outstanding musicians/producers do their thing . 
It’s such fun collaborating with different people and listening to their different take on things.
Mike is an excellent songwriter himself and you can always pick the earworm in his work.
Big thanks to Mike he was a pleasure to work with and a real gentleman.
I hope you enjoy it guys as much as we did making it.


Give each other up 

V1 
Your love for me is out of practice 
We got somewhere lost in all the traffic 
Im getting prickly now in the hustle 
Im sorry if I ever caused you trouble 

Chorus  
We  can fail at what we hate 
And we can fail at what we love
But doesn’t mean we should give each other up


V2
Why don’t we never seem to make it to desert
Your the sweetest thing  i don’t deserve 
I always new how to make things better 
Now I’m just that storm in your weather 

Finish on a double Chorus

Give Each Other Up ~ Fox & Brownie
