Dear friends, today we are starting a series of live video of Eternal Wanderers’ gig at BUNKER 47 rock clu, Moscow.
We have worked hard on the image and sound quality, and we hope that you will be pleased with the result!
And today we are watching the opening composition of the concert the Mystery of theCosmic Sorrow.
Written a long time ago, inspired by the marvelous Henry W. Longfellow’s poem, the song ‘Excelsior!’ was arranged and recorded in August – December 2021 and mixed in 2022.
And we believe that times of disquiet and grief will pass and the one whose soul is aspiring heavenward will overcome and reach the heights with far clear skies, absolute splendor and blessedness. ‘Higher, onward and upward’, this is the translation of the word ‘excelsior’ from Latin.
The song is presented in two versions – the English version with the original poem and the Russian version translated by Elena Kanevskaya.
Written and arranged by Elena Kanevskaya
Words by Henry W. Longfellow
Performed by:
Elena Kanevskaya: vocal, keyboards, recorder, kalimba
Tatyana Kanevskaya: acoustic guitar
Mixed by Dmitry Shtatnov

On Sunday, October 18, EW will perform in the art space of the music store “Dom Kultury”. The program is timed to the release of the album “Homeless Soul”, but we will play songs from previous albums as well. It will be a chamber event, with percussion for a drum kit. Perhaps we haven’t played like this yet. We are looking forward to meeting you, and we really want to believe that the pandemic will not prevent this!
