In Moving to Moscow Swedish singer/songwriter Nervous City Nervous Self envokes the longing for purpose and meaning once envisioned by Irina in Anton Chekhov´s play Three sisters. In a famous scene Irina laments over the loss of vision and grandeur in the rural country life in a Russia of yesteryears. The dreams, the real life awaits them all in Moscow, while she is stuck in a g-d-forgotten place, with a stifling job as a telegraph clerk. And while our dreams fade away our lives moves on with a brutal pace, and soon our grand wishes for the future are replaced with a longing for the past, and that is the home for notions like nostalgia and melancholy. And that is also the natural habitat for the worker in song.

Nervous City Nervous Self is a nomadic and nostalgic one-man band from Stockholm, Sweden.
