Name: The Only One I Love - Nikhil D'souza by GearHouse Sessions
Duration: 4 min 6 s
Description: Mumbai based singer-songwriter, Nikhil D'Souza belts out his original composition, The Only One in Love. Nikhil's set at Harman Live Arena - GearHouse Live @ The Palm Expo 2015 was uplifting as always, and the enthusiastic Mumbai crowd added to the experience.

Rennaissance Mission was conceived by Warren in a green room at a festival somewhere, waiting to get onstage while sub-heavy music blasted from a PA nearby.

The original album recording has Karsh Kale on drums, and is a favourite at the band's recent gigs. The song features a memorable intro hook, and the long jam sections in the middle leave plenty of room for improvisation, which the band takes full advantage of. Adi Mistry and Jai Row Kavi prove to be a locomotive of a rhythm section, with Beven Fonseca's keyboard textures lending a nice touch to the proceedings.

It’s a cold, dark night, We’re sipping tea 
Hoping to feel warm again 

The old cartons are packed and the candy jar is empty 
Where did you go?

Suddenly you and I are nothing, nothing but the past 
We feel the storm coming in and we don’t know how long its going to last 
So where do we go tonight? 

We fell apart, right back to the start 
Our thoughts numb, our hands tied 
Yet we spread our broken wings to fly 

Where did you go? 

We try to see the world, through rose tinted glass 
But our hearts lay down like autumn leaves 
The promises we made, the dreams we had 
We watch them fade away 


Where Did You Go?

You Don't Have To Hide

Lyrics
Should've known, should've known
Exactly what she was saying.
She didn't know, didn't know
How much attention he was paying
He was distracted by
Something else that crossed his mind.

So she went up to him and said "What's the problem, boy?"
And he said, "Sorry ma'am but I was busy.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Many years went by
She was the girl he always wanted
She never noticed his mind
Was the place she always haunted
She was distracted by every other guy around

So he went up to her and said, "Babe, won't you be mine?"
And she said, "Sorry, honey. You must be.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

What was he supposed to do?
When everyone around him never really knew
Exactly what he was going through.
He was a victim of fantasy
It took more than 'being a man' to see
Just what a dreamer could do
But he never knew that

There he was, there he was
And all the people stood before him
He strummed his guitar 
And all the people, they screamed for him
He never thought that he'd be loved for
Just what he did best

So when he sang, he sang about 
All that he'd been through
And he blamed it on the fact that
All he was really good at was

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

He was busy
Dreaming 
Dreaming
Dreaming

Dreaming

Short Round releases his sophomore effort, a wholly collaborative 7-track album that features the voices of Siddharth Basrur, Saurabh Roy (The Lightyears Explode), Mali and others, to create a beautifully varied landscape; one that is best navigated with companions.
