a collection of beautiful songs that were created in collaboration with awesome soundcloud artists from different places.. :)

ps: all original tracks!

Superb Collaborations :)

This interpretation of the classic ghazal by Fayyaz Hashmi features Rohini Ravada on vocals and Shankar Tucker on keyboards, clarinet, and tabla.

This is one of my most favorite compositions of all time. Unfortunately I had to leave off the last verse in order to keep the time suitable for a YouTube video. I will release the full version with all verses as part of an album later on.

Streetnik (ft.Pavithra Chari)

'Pyaasi' is from Swarathma's debut album released on EMI Virgin India in Jan 2009. This version features the inimitable Shubha Mudgal, special guest on vocals. The song tells the story of a river, whose waters have been disputed for years. The song was featured in a music video by Global Water Challenge to highlight water woes that the world faces.

Written by Vasu Dixit/Hitesh Kewalya, Composed by Swarathma
Translated by Shreya Dasgupta

A river, a thirsty river, leave me be
Your thirst I quenched, now what of me?
Tied in twists, no longer running free
Tears are all that’s left of me
I was happy being water, why the insanity?
From whence do I come, whither do I go?
Of your language and your barriers, what do I know?
What being was it that poisoned your minds…
Erased human thoughts, left puppets behind?
Return O rain-cloud, from whence you came
Alas the mighty ocean shall never know my name
You still think I am holy? Dead souls I can save?
Begone with your ashes, give me the peace I crave
A river, a thirsty river, leave me be
I was happy being water, why your insanity?

Swarathma feat. Shubha Mudgal - Pyaasi

Lyrics:
I try to find a way inside my heart
In vain, i cry for days apart

Do u know, how it feels
To live in love, and die in pain
Know how it feels
Do u know how it feels
I do..

I watch in tears as my life crumbles to dust
I see the light, but it's motionless in rust

revive the truth u put to rest
