Kishore Kumar & Louis Armstrong share birthdays, so it's about time they collaborated on a song too. 

This is a mashup of "When the Saints go marching in" and "Eena Meena Teeka" with the Trumpet solo from "Hello Dolly" thrown in for good measure.

When The Saints Go Eena Meena (EDM)

As part of a tradition I'd like to maintain, I thought I'd like to honour my father by releasing this song on his birthday, August 21st.

The New Single from my Debut Album, "Orion"

This song is dedicated to my mother, Jyoti Singh Visvanath.

This is the first single off of Dhruv Visvanath's soon to be released album, Orion.

Dhruv Visvanath was recently signed on to the record label V.L.T (Vishal Likes This) run by none other than, Vishal Dadlani. 

Thank you Vishal for helping me make my dream a reality.

Lyrics:

Chasing stars in the afternoon
I finally see
So much hope
And so much love
Another dream
Hiding chances no looking back
I finally see
No more searching I am a man

Over the sea
Over the sea
Over the sea
Over the sea

Is this a call to redemption?
Is this the only life I lead?
Another dimension
So what am I? Your new saviour?
Another tube, through which I fall?
But I was born blind
You're the hand that pulls me on.

I finally see...

Redemption [SINGLE]

This first track off of the record!

Lyrics:
Simple is as simple does
And crazy hits you with a thud
Like eyes sticking stone cold
A spear through what is yours to hold

It's all I know

Sizzle up the night
Add some chilli to your fight
Your hand hangs right above me
While the other strokes up my thigh

It's all I know

Chorus
It's all I know x2

I want to say I love you
But I need to hold back
Those feelings deep inside me
Either steel or stale crack yeah

It's all I know

Those stars that are in the sky
Are the same that's in your eye
I'd flirt a little longer
But my game ain't getting any better
But its

It's all I know

Chorus

Bridge
Brush me with matters of life
Stay sweet like apples in Eden
Throw a coin
Heads or tails
Bring back my favour in you
Plant a seed
It'll grow
Wait cause its all that I know
Throw my hands
Share my tears
Stay cause its all that I know

Oh oh oh oh

Wait cause its all that I know (oh oh oh oh)x3
Stay cause its all that I know

All I Know

How To Steal A Car

Hello! I want you guys to meet DVT! It's a little band project that I have, all credits and names below. I really wanted to write a song which spoke about what a women thinks is sexy. Now I don't want to sound shallow! But I really wanted it to come from the perspective of a woman, and how she can be demanding and just as strong and well, forward. 

In Orion's story, this chapter details the moment that Orion's mother and father meet, and elope. His mother, who is an attractive lady, wins over Orion's father's heart. And after a night of Bacchanalian pleasures, what was expected of them the following day?

Lyrics:

In the night
I'm learning how to
Waste the day

Keep it light
Cause everything is
Hard to bare

Oh I cannot compare
With every little thing
Or show you how to call
Or show you how the little
Bee stings

I'm so high
I'm so high
You don't know

Oh

In this night
I'm learning how to
Waste the day

Keep it light
Cause everything is
Hard to bare

Oh I cannot compare
With every little thing
Or show you how to call
Or show you how the little
Bee stings

I'm so high
I'm surprised
You don't know 

Chorus
Hold on
You know we're better than this
Lets get together right before We kiss (I know)
Sometimes It's better to feel
I know
I know

In this night 
The moon just seems to
Walk away

Don't know why
I barely had a word
To say

So show me how to call
When the fog is so damn thick
Don't be so quick and nimble 
show you How I put my
Lipstick

I'm so high
I'm surprised
you don't know

Chorus

That One

Drunk

I wrote this song by layering different parts of my acoustic guitar together. I've been experimenting with different sounds, and with the time I spent with my producers, they really helped me bring this song to life. What you hear here is the guitar and nothing else!

In this chapter of Orion's story, the gods decide to wreak havoc on mankind. After having defeated their disciples, the gods decide to flood the land with days of never ending rain. The floods carry the bodies of the fallen victims back to their homes. Orion finds his father's body float back to his home. To his family's dismay, the flood rises further, and becomes more violent. As much as he tries to hold on to his brother and mother, the strength of the water splits them apart. Orion is now lost on his own, in a sea he'd never witnessed before. Would he ever find his family again?

Lyrics:
Another week has been forgotten
In the rain
Shine lights so bright
I can see the same

 Another child has come to wander
Through the rain
It's red she says
I don't have the same

 And honestly
I kind of jumped right in
My eyes lay golden
But my feet stay still
There's comedy
Within this tragedy
Laugh with tears and hear

 The rain x4
Time has stopped and I have spoken
Let him say
As lights go dark
Your thoughts betray

 And honestly I gave away my thrill
I chose the latter while my feet stood still
I took it off and threw it in the trash
A final heartbeat calls
The rain x8

The Enigma

I wrote this song for my brother.

Through this album, I wanted to tell the story of Orion, and how he became the constellation you see in the stars.

This chapter tells the story of how Orion and his Brother, Julius bonded, growing up to be hunters. Their father, being proud of his two boys, groomed them into the finest hunters in the land. Orion grew stronger, as did his brother. But was this happy moment going to last?

Lyrics

Change your mind
A million times
A million miles
And I accept

What has become of you

On this day 
A scary thought
A feeling lost
An SOS

A path enlightening

Saving grace
Beneath the trees
Away from here
Away from the sun
Away from the sun
Away from the sun

Chorus
So let's waste
The night away
I'm testing
I'm testing
Out all the bends
Your weakness
Is irony
I'm falling
I'm falling over the edge
You never seem
To get away
I know this
I know that this is the end
I know that this is the end

It was the year, 
The time of lore
The year stood still
And nothing more
It was 1994

It was the year
After which he was born
And I was left admiring
Admiring the storm

Saving grace
Beneath the trees
Away from here
Away from the sun
Away from the sun
Away from the sun

Bridge
I keep listening now
As you find your own way
Keep these memories
As you're starting to pray

Chorus

Telescope

This is one of my mum's favourite instrumental tracks. I wrote this sing about a small fictional kingdom, which always gives a small gem everytime a child is born to symbolise how precious they are.

And when Orion and Julius are born, the emperor of the kingdom, gives their mother 2 jewels, one for each child. The Rubies bestowed upon the children signified that they were to be hunters when they grew up.

DO READ BEFORE LISTENING

I wanted to write this as a series.

Following from "rain", winter finally arrives. This is an account of how it felt when I saw, and experienced snow for the first time.

I woke up one morning, my dad came running to tell me it was snowing. I looked out the window, and it was cold, very cold. 
I was really tired, as was my brother. So we went back to sleep, only to have my parents storm into our room and wake us up again.

To our surprise we saw our backyard covered in snow. My brother and I got warm as quickly as we could and we stepped out and touched the snow, with gloves on obviously.

This was all a week before my father passed away.

I hope you enjoy it, and I'd love to hear the story you feel as the song plays.

Have a great year,

Dhruv

Dhruv's music stems from childhood experiences as well as feelings of great anguish and grief. Having lost his father at a young age, many of his songs focus on how he has grown and the stories that come with it. Inspired greatly by his immediate surroundings, he began writing music as a therapeutic respite. His emotional connection to his family and loved ones gives him every reason to tell stories that Inspire.  

His latest album, "The Lost Cause " is an Independent effort (out now) released on the 19th of April , The Lost Cause is rich in the colours of the world, often shifting between traditional folk music, rhythmic pop and tribal-based work of his home country of India. It’s earthy, accessible and dazzling. The Lost Cause was debuted at #2 on iTunes India, and was in the top 50 albums on Apple Music for over two weeks. Rollingstone rated The Lost Cause, 4 and a half out of 5. You can stream/Buy the album here:

I love making music, and I hope you have a great time going through the songs - Love Dhruv.
