With Or Without You - Shikhar & Anusha

Dedicated to my musical soulmate, Chantelle Menezes. 
Happy Birthday, love! This one's for you, and for the fact that you're the only one who inspires such originality from me.

Lyrics:

She moves like the wind,
Swaying like a dandelion field.
She is like the spring warmth
Strong and pure, with love revealed.

Wherever she runs and skips,
Laughter lingers in her wake.
Her smile's like the summer breeze
Her eyes, like a clear rippling lake.

She's proud like a morning star.
She's bright like the evening crimson.
She's the Autumn Soul.
She's my musical soulmate.

Musical Soulmate (Original) - For Chantelle.

A little something I made for Anusha's birthday. It was just a melody that came to me after listening to The Gymnopedist by Jono Mccleery on loop for an entire night. I just played a few chords and sang the melody on top of it, nothing elaborate, took 8 hours of work. A lullaby of some sort I guess.

One for the rains and close friends, lovers, family, pets, or anyone that makes things alright in your life. We wrote this in Pondicherry last November (floody days). 

Lyrics:

It’s daybreak, we’re walking on this little line
Cold breeze, the sky is just catching fire
Your hand fits into mine like a puzzle piece
Someday, I know everything will be alright

You and I, we don’t need time
You and I, we don’t need time
It feels like, we’re standing ‘tween mirrors
We’re infinite

Oooh...

When the rain comes we’ll sail our paper boats
While we share our little plastic raincoat
Jump across puddles, if we can’t we’ll just wipe it dry
Someday, I know everything will be alright

You and I, we don’t need time
You and I, we don’t need time
It feels like, we’re standing ‘tween mirrors
We’re infinite

Oooh...

We’ll climb up the hills
And roll down the valleys
Run through the fields
And we'll swim through the rivers
Jump off the cliffs and
Plunge into the sea together

We’ll wander through cities,
And swing through the forests
Trace all the shores
And then lie on the pier
Jump off the cliffs and
Plunge into the sea together

You and I, we don’t need time
You and I, we don’t need time
It feels like, we’re standing 'tween mirrors
We're infinite

It's been a while since we've uploaded something. 

This is the first song that we wrote about a character, and not necessarily ourselves, whose life is a complete mess and that there's no hope for him/her, and it all spirals inwards towards a cathartic implosion (almost sounds like a prog rock song description). Yeah, we like our dark themes.
But we recently recorded Blood, one of our favourites, at Cotton Press Studio with Abhinav on bass, and it turned out so great...head over to youtube to check out the video! Definitely watch in HD and use headphones please :)

Share, like and support :)

Recorded at: Cotton Press Studio
Mixed and Mastered by: Ayan De

A thanks to Rushabh for forever lending his guitar :)



Lyrics:

Blood

I’m walking on this tightrope
Sure don’t want to look down
Sharks waiting in the water
Cold fear drips like blood

The wind won’t take no for n’answer
Feel light as a feather
I’m losing my mind but
My mind’s already lost me

Reach out stranger
Take my tied hands
Please give me asylum
We'll breath in silence
We'll sleep as silent

Voices try to pull me under
Ravens peck at my tether
You fall only to rise they said,
But I still wait to reach the end

They said (they said) help is on the way 
No but I wasn’t (I wasn't) waiting anyway
They said I will be okay (x3)

Reach out lover
You’re in safe hands
Lead you to temptation
We’ll sleep in silence
We’ll sleep in silence
