Marley's music had an immense impact on me as a youth and still resonates today Like many, he was my first introduction to reggae and since my first listen back in the 70s and 80s to now, his music does and will continue to stand the test of time and impact generations of fans and musicians alike for  the high quality of song writing and his message of harmony and peace.. 

This re-vision of  "Is This Love" was done a few years ago as a free "white label" promo. Please feel free to share.

Where I take @tejaskelkar's pitch perfect minimalist cover of Katie Melua's "I cried for you" (https://soundcloud.com/tejaskelkar/i-cried-for-you-katie-melua) and make a minimalist electronic cover of that cover. Electronica except a  guitar interlude that should sound vaguely familiar

She is a sign of traditions, she is soulful)

A kutthu remix of the Game of Thrones theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53c8reh_uh0)


Game of Thrones Theme- Kutthu remix

GOOD INTENT, the alluring 3rd single from KIMBRA’S highly anticipated debut album VOWS, will be available on iTunes from Monday 15 August.  

The album VOWS will be released on Friday 2 September.  

Having signed with Warner Music Worldwide in Los Angeles earlier this year, KIMBRA’S debut record has been three and-a-half years in the making. It charts not only her growth and development musically over this time, but personally as well. KIMBRA co-produced VOWS alongside the refined skills of François Tétaz (Bertie Blackman, Gotye) and Australian Urban export M-Phazes (Amerie, Pharoahe Monch) . She also contributed her vocal talents to Miami Horror’s ‘ I look to you ‘ and a duet with Gotye’s on his current number 1 single ‘Somebody I used to Know’. 

KIMBRA is already proving herself as a songwriter and music stylist beyond her years. Settle Down, the first single lifted from VOWS, won first place in the Pop/Top 40 category at the The International Songwriting Competition (ISC), the world's preeminent global songwriting event.  Most recently KIMBRA was also awarded the prestigious Vanda & Young Songwriting Award for her 2nd single Cameo Lover.  

On Good Intent, KIMBRA explores both sides of a broken vow and the destruction it causes. An intense theme playfully delivered in teasing lines punctuated by drunk horns, “I know you didn’t mean it boy/you meant so well/but the pennies are cascading ‘round your wishing well.” Framed by jazz bass, the nimble shuffle of drums and a bluesy guitar solo, the effect is like waking up in a foggy speakeasy after a jagged night out to find the heart on your sleeve missing. The cinematic film clip, playing out a film noir escapade of moral intentions and immoral actions, is set to plunge fans deeper into the eclectic world of KIMBRA.

To support the single and album releases, KIMBRA is touring nationally with tickets on sale now.   Demand to see KIMBRA’S critically acclaimed live performance is so strong, her Sydney show has recently moved to a venue double the size.

LYRICS:
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down

We can settle at a table
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down

I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me?
Raise a child

We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know

I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down

Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark

Star so light and star so bright
First star I see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!

I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Let's make our vows

Star so light and star so bright
First star I see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!

USTAD HOTEL OST - TRAILOR THEME

Thakara - the onam song

Pairon ki bediyan khwabon ko baandhe nahi re, kabhi nahi 
re
Mitti ki parton ko nanne se ankur bhi cheenay, dheere 
dheere
Iraade hare hare, jinke seeno mein ghar kare
Woh dil ki sune kare na darre, na darre

Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke jhoomenge
Aasman aasman aasman
Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke jhoomenge
Aasman aasman aasman

Aazaadiyan, aazaadiyan
Maagey na kabhi, mile mile mile
Aazaadiyan, aazaadiyan
Jo cheenay wahi, jee le jee le jee le

Subah ki kirno ko rokein jo salaakhein hai kahan
Jo khayalon pe pehre daale woh aankhein hai kahan
Par khulne ki deri hai parinde udh ke jhoomenge
Aasman aasman aasman

Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)
Kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai (hone ke hai)
Subha nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai (hone ke hai)


Aane wala waqt dega panha hai
Ya phir se milenge do raahein
Khabar kya, kya 
pataa
