Here's one based on a trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg.  I really did meet a Tatyana who spoke the first two lines of this song almost verbatim.  It wasn't too long after the Soviet Union's fall, and people there seemed liberated to be able to practice religion again.  One of my most vivid experiences was when I walked unsuspectingly into a Russian Orthodox ceremony in a small, candle-lit church, with just a dozen or so in attendance.  The bridge here captures some of those impressions.

In other ways this song is also one of my more literal ones, not that you'd necessarily notice!  There really was a young music teacher who seemed strangely reluctant to smile as her students sang beautifully to her balalaika accompaniment.  Sitting in that small auditorium, I saw a vase that had one extra flower, which I later found out makes a standard bouquet of 13 over there.

Here are the lyrics.

Behold, a new tune called "Trifling Woman."  It was fun to write and record, although (or maybe "because") I have no experience comparable to what the lyrics describe. The arrangement is more of a sketch than a finished track, but hey, it's close enough for the web.  Here are the lyrics.
