Shyfrin Alliance bends time and spirit wrapped in sound with "Buddha Blues"

With “Buddha Blues,” Shyfrin Alliance begins with a wealth of wisdom, depth, and a hint of the metaphysical. This song gives us a first look at their upcoming album “In The Shadow of Time,” and it is definitely deep.

“Buddha Blues” is a poignant country-blues song about time, not just as something that comes and goes, but as something that is constantly changing and teaching us lessons. The band explores time as a significant theme, one that heals and makes you feel small. The lyrics prompt people to reflect on which desires are worth holding onto and which ones they should release. This shows the delicate balance between attachment and personal growth.

Eduard Shyfrin’s philosophical impact is pervasive. His writing, influenced by Kabbalah and quantum theory, possesses a spiritual depth that is rare in modern blues. The bluesy instruments mix with hints of country music to create a timeless mood that fits the song’s message. “Buddha Blues” transcends short-term pleasure and surface-level trends, focusing instead on enduring qualities in both its essence and sound.

Shyfrin Alliance wants people to truly get into the song, as if they were meditating, and it gives and takes a lot from you. The first song on “In The Shadow of Time,” “Buddha Blues,” sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is more about exploring than having fun, and more about meaning than speed. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to find music that slows you down, grounds you, and makes you appreciate each moment.
