2. Finger (pseudonym of independent russian artist Sergei Lykhin) is a talented composer strongly influenced by Pink Floyd, Guitarshreds & True Norwegian Black. His music is a mix of raw sound, acoustic parts, mindbending solos & amazing arrangements. The structures of his songs are just unpredictable & very dreamful, he never used vocals to keep this psychodelic atmosphere of his works. Sometimes his compositions sounds like EBM, ambient & even darkwave also because of this reason. As Finger always mix different styles, his songs are hard to understand but very easy to lysten, his unreserve can touch deep strings of heart. The only thing that can be named as Finger's miss is sound. Although the specific character of underground music he plays sometime this condition just won't save him in future music creating process.
Finger is endorsed by Ivanovo guitars, Ucha's guitar & Fruity Loops exclusively.

Tainted Love
Finger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share seems to go nowhere and I′ve lost my light
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you′ve given
Take my tears and that′s not nearly all
Oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Now I know I've got to run away, I′ve got to get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right, you need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray, but I′m sorry, I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I′ll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Don′t touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I′m gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
Oh, tainted love
