Слава Толстой - Они Остались Там. Slava Tolstoy - They Stayed Behind

One day in December I came across a poem that just stopped me in my tracks, made me run to the guitar and compose this song. The poem is written by a poet who recently emigrated from Russia and now lives in Jerusalem, Israel - Vadim Yampolskiy. It is powerful, profound, very poetic and at the same time - it has the magical simplicity that every great piece of art has (in my option). Me and my team worked hard on bringing this song to life - and here it is!
