Ghum is a song about Child Sexual Abuse. It is a nameless, shapeless horror that nobody seems to believe exists when it comes their own homes.

Swarathma - Ghum

This is a song that celebrates youth, and the power of being young, in your heart and mind. The words "Naane Daari" are Kannada for "I am my way".

Translation:

In the dark cave that is my being, I find the light
And I shall scream of it, aloud, from the mountaintops

This earth, this sky, become one in my fist
My passion erupts from the ground below

Swarathma - Mukhote

Yeshu, Allah aur Krishna was originally released as part of Soundpad, a British Council Initiative showcasing up and coming Indian bands. It is a view of the world today, seen through the eyes of 14th century mystic poet Kabir, who sang of religious harmony. His messages find resonance today, more than at any time in the past.
