06. Lone Dancer

Do you even remember
The time when we first met?
And we were getting along,
We had a friendship so strong
Like nothing could end it.
You told me you were a loner
I told you I’ve been alone a hundred times
When I needed someone
And life wasn’t fun
And I thought I couldn’t take it

And I can’t take these
Changed situations
Can’t take these awkward moments
And strained relations
We were so happy
But something happened
You never told me what’s wrong
And then we played along until we lost our patience

So now things are different
I put on a smiling face to hide
The things that can’t be explained
The words that got so ingrained
In something deep inside
We made no effort
We couldn’t even look eye-to-eye at all
But time killed the rest,
Put our friendship to test
And I don’t even recall, don’t wanna even recall
These crazy changed situations
Can’t take these awkward moments
And strained relations
We were so happy
But something happened
You never told me what’s wrong
And then we played along until we lost our patience
And I won’t regret it all
Go on and forget it all
And I won’t regret it all
Go on and forget it all

We were so happy
But something happened
You never told me what’s wrong and I just played along until we lost our patience
And I can’t take these
Changed situations
Can’t take these awkward moments
And strained relations

It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same
It’s not the same

Changed Situations

You've Got A Message- AGAIN

Disco Ode To The FatMan

‘Play’ is Bombay-based musician Mali’s first single of 2018.

‘Play’ takes the country-tinged pop-rock of her 2017 debut EP Rush, and strips it to its sparse songwriting essence - her voice, tone and storytelling. The song is addressed to her beloved grandfather, and is wrought with subtle and heartfelt emotion.

Lyrics:
One Day me and my sister had a ball
Found the motherload of our love
For colours, red, blue, green 
So pristine
One by one built a forest of our own
Serpentine streets and several species of Amazon
Couldn’t beat us, if only one could judge.

And then you picked a red
the goddamn sign of unnatural death
And then I couldn’t understand 

So,

Sleep tight Little Sister 
Don’t look back at the ForestFire

Then the fear of death took over
the melodies of her toddler tears
I had to find a tranquilizer to subdue her
Before she awakens the rangers 
I had to find a bar of chocolate that she loves

And then I heard a voice
And then I had a choice
But then I couldn’t understand

So,

Sleep tight Little Sister 
Don’t look back at the ForestFire

Forestfire

What a man have I become
As I see the valley burn
I sleep.

 Land of the Dreamer -  Franks got the Funk

 Verse :  It’s a palace built with fortune of a million lives 
              And I won’t deny , this palace is also mine .
              Standing in its banquet, there shown a million lights 
              On all the different faces, some sober and some high.
              Both sober and high .

 Pre-Chorus : Both sober and high .

Chorus : This City multiplies and sings , 
                 It Multiplies and sings 
                  Diversify and sing 
                   Multiply and sing
 Verse :  I believe that the fortune are the people’s hearts and minds .
               Standing as one nation , they sing to you this rhyme 
                 I believe in comfort , that’s all we’ll ever need 
               From all your different faces both sober and high .
               Both sober and high . 
Bridge:  Multiply and sing , reach for the skies and link ,
the colored  pretty lights falling from the other side .  
the colored trippy lights falling from the other side .

Intro/Outro : OH OH . Ooh OH OH . woh Oh oh oh oh oh . Woh oh oh.





Land of the Dreamer

Since he started in 2011, Shashwat Bulusu has been turning heads with his trademark non-conforming approach toward songwriting. Shashwat’s unapologetic DIY experimentation truly makes him one of a kind. As a result, it’s incredibly difficult to put him in a box.

A singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist, Shashwat is remarkably self aware about his creative process and tries not to over-romanticise his own art. On a cursory listen to his oeuvre of musical narratives, one is bound to be struck by his fearlessness in foraying into new sonic territories. Being a multilingual artist, Shashwat writes in both English and Hindi, each allowing him to delve into unique expressions, sometimes being veiled and other times being more confrontational. An avid story-teller through his songs and his live performances, Shashwat’s songs primarily deal with themes of absurdity and self-admission, underpinned with a sense of raw emotion and vulnerability.

With 4 single releases, the A-side/B-side ‘Aabad’ marking his debut as a Hindi songwriter, 3 nationwide tours, prominent live performances at festivals such as Kochi Biennale ‘23, NH7 Weekender ‘22, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Online Concert ‘21 and scoring for the Indie film ‘Gamit’, Shashwat is steadily and firmly coming into his own, a sonic-universe that reflects his vision as a multifaceted and multidisciplinary artist.
