This one is Mishka Frith.… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band called Mishka.
This one is Mishka Frith. Like his older sister, singer/songwriter Heather Nova (born Heather Frith), pop-reggae singer Mishka grew up at sea, traveling from island to island in the West Indies on his Canadian mother and Bermudian father's sailboat, where he received most of his education and listened to whatever music he could. When his parents returned to Canada, he completed school and returned to the Caribbean, eventually becoming a competitive windsurfer and representing Bermuda at international meets. In the meantime, he had also taken up songwriting, and he chanced to meet and impress Creation Records head Alan McGee with his vocal ability in late 1996; with prodding from Nova, Mishka was signed to a record contract the following year. His eponymous debut album, a mix of pop, reggae, soul, and singer/songwriter folk-rock, was released in 1999.
The other Mishka is from Ireland, currently living in America. Fronted by Lauren Norton. They have one EP - 47 Varieties Of Hindsight. Myspace: www.myspace.com/mihskamusik
Some Paths
Mishka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you left
Some paths will not forget you
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you wept
Coal fire burnin in the hills
Sweet smell of rain upon the dry land
Point to the ground and ask are you still
Some paths will not forget you
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you left
Some paths will not forget you
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you wept
Once upon a country road you danced
Smell of orange leaves crushed up in your hands
Sun so hot it shimmered on the pavement
Said it looked like diamonds in the sand
Some paths will not forget you
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you left
Some paths will not forget you
Some roads remember footsteps yeah
Even though you wept
Hear familiar voices out in the distance
Hoping someone out there will throw you a line
We're all out here on the edge of existence yeah
We're all out here on the edge of time time time time
Wheeee...
