You the Others 
(Baladeva Nitai)

Day dried
Fate goes too late
Time change
The ocean's waves

You must be trained
Not to be betrayed
And how do you treat
The others?

Cut it all means 
You
The others

You the others

You The Others

Beautiful View
(Baladeva Nitai / Abhistha Reddy)

I see tall trees
And a beautiful view from my house
Children and grown-up in the park
It's a view that refreshes my mind

I see the people exercising and running 
Walking and stretching in the park
It's a place where everyone 
Enjoy and relax

There's a view that breathtakes my feelings
Refreshes my mind when I am sad

And it's a beautiful view

Beautiful View

Inperfect 
(Baladeva Nitai / Sri Hari / Aashish Rathod / Sachin)

You are my love
You don't need to be perfect
Neither I need to be
We can do anything

What is this perfect relation
People are looking for
In the secrets of our intimacy
I see you the way you are

All that matters is you 
Coming the way you are
From all the people I choose you 
Cause of the way you are
My heart is singing just for you
Cause of the way you are
Oh my love here is this song

Imperfect like we are

Let's just be together
Time for me and for you
To give each other a chance
We can have a future imperfect

What is this perfect relation
People are looking for
In the secrets of our intimacy
I see you the way you are

All that matters is you 
Coming the way you are
From all the people I choose you 
Cause of the way you are
My heart is singing just for you
Cause you are perfect the way you are
Oh! My love here is this song

Imperfect like we are

Inperfect

Kama
(Baladeva Nitai)

My heart mellows
Just to think about you
My thought travels
Faster than the light just to catch you

Save me from my illusions
Take me through all confusion

You are the one who really sees me
You are the one who protect me from me
You are the one who truly loves me
You are the wife I ever dream

Why you choose me is a mystery

My eyes open
Waking up just to see you
My lies open
Cleaning up just to be truth

Save me from my illusions
Take me through all confusion

You are the one who really sees me
You are the one who protect me from me
You are the one who truly loves me and I love you
You are the wife I ever dream

Why you choose me is a mystery

Kama

Not Like Them 
(Baladeva Nitai / Kamalaksi Rupini)

If I see myself I get lost
Even the mirror doesn't show anymore
If I leave you I die at last
But even with you I've lost my best

Cause I'm not like them
As cheap as all you can buy
Look at me but look inside
And all you will find is you and I

Everybody is so sexy
Everybody is so lame
The new world of all them perfect
I'm just not like them

But don't let yourself be misguide
Don't lose yourself to what is less
Enlight with what you can just guess
And all you will get is is you and I

Hold my hand 
Walk my side
Close the eyes 
See inside
Take a breath
Realize
Not the bad
Be aside
Not like them
You and I
The only play
Paradise
Not the game
Of blame and lie
Cheap of two
Flirt of nine
Not the pain
Not the fight
Not like them
You and I

Not Like Them

Falling Star
(Baladeva Nitai)

Why did you come dancing in the sky?
Can I make a wish?
Can I break the laws of reality?
Can I have a dream at least?

Secrets of the magic

Why did you choose?
If you choose why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
If you could choose, why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
Why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
If you could choose...

Why am I asking you why?
Can I ask for something?
Can my prayers fly?
Can I sing a sign?

Mysteries from the inside 

Why did you choose?
If you choose why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
If you could choose, why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
Why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
If you could choose...

Why did you choose?
If you choose why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
If you could choose, why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
Why do you choose this?
Why did you choose?
If you should choose
Why do you choose this?

Falling Star

Please Their Illusion
(Baladeva Nitai / Kamalaksi Rupini)

While some of them are in their little worlds
While they think they know something
And do something with their petty words
While they think their masks are so embellishing

They don't know you just play a game
You see their corpses and of what they are made
You use old words just to please their illusion
You just pretend to increase their confusion

While all this play goes on and on
I build my castle with diamonds
The fairy' stone that they cannot touch or see or hold
I make this play stop if I decide so

They don't know you just play a game
You see their corpses and of what they are made
You use old words just to please their illusion
You just pretend, to increase their confusion

We just forget that there is something their below
We just remember when the piety blows
We smile together in a kiss that binds our life
We don't even care telling them goodbye

Please Their Illusion

Who am I?
(Baladeva Nitai)

You are the fire 
You are the air that I breathe 
The tree of desires
You have everything I need 

Tears coming out 
When I see you
Take me out
From this prison

Cause I know you…

You are the sun 
You are the sound

You are the flower
You are the water I drink
Everything I offer never come close 
To what you do for me

Words coming out
With devotion
Take me out
My own freedom 

Cause I know you…

You are the sun
You are the sound 
You are the silent lover
The moon witness us now

Don't waste your time in this life
Don't miss the advice of the wise
Don't leave without answering the question
Who am I?

Who Am I?

Baladeva Nitai – You The Others

 

“…it's seems like groove rock, Magical Mystery Tour, to me, spiritual, love songs, swirling effects, groove, sometimes yoga like…”  (Robert Singerman)

 

“Who am I?” That’s the first question that a human being has to ask when it starts to develop some consciousness. When we are born on this planet, in a certain culture, we gain a kind of lifestyle from the people and the environment around us. We grow up with so many conceptions and all this is expressed as our personality and in the way we relate with others - with people, with other species of life, with nature and in the end with the entire universe that goes beyond our comprehension. In this journey of life it is always better not to fake ourselves with the intention to “Please Their Illusion”, better not to pretend to please others. That is definitely not love and will never work for the goal of this life. If we have this gift of our free will, let’s choose the truth and make a good wish when we see a magical “Falling Star” in the sky. If we are different, and if there is diversity out there in a tolerable way, you can respect that. But if you feel that some people are bringing suffering to others, and you realize that you are “Not Like Them”, you can be strong enough to fight for what is right, for justice, for the trust that it is still possible to survive in this world. It’s natural that you will find someone that can walk by your side and maybe get married if you wish. In the ancient Sanskrit language, desire for pleasure is called “Kama”, and it’s fair that you fulfill your desire in a proper way, with balance and respect for others. Of course all this is difficulty to learn in just one lifetime, and because we are in this world we are not perfect. The magic of consciousness and poetry is that  “Imperfect” can become “Inperfect”. We can look for the final answers and dive inside ourselves, and it is certain that this will reflect outside us. This is sharing life with others. It’s like a child who opens the window and sees beautiful tall trees and other families playing in a park, that place where the community meets, and she says: ‘It’s a Beautiful View that refreshes my mind when I am sad.” We are all connected. It’s not about “you and I”, nor “me and the others”, nor even “you and the others”. It's a direct connection: “YOU THE OTHERS”. In this concrete gross life we have to transcend this first immediate reality and bring the potency to learn about what is subtle. Music can make us go to infinite different places, and maybe in the end we can find someone with a “Mouth of a Deity”, so we can have a love kiss.

This album is to remember us that this temporary life is not the only life for someone who believes to be a soul, eternal and immortal. It is to help us to live this life we have in the best way we can, so we can really answer the fundamental questions and find who we really are. I am “You The Others”, and you?
