The Race Is Run – olliray

Driven by a pulsing drum machine beat at 128 BPM, this track unfolds with moody vocals and lyrics that explore endings, resilience, and the feeling of reaching the finish line:
“No eyes on the turn, no heart in your lungs, this race is run.”

Blending electronic rhythms with a singer-songwriter’s edge, it carries a dark, atmospheric energy that’s both introspective and cinematic. A song about confronting limits, closing chapters, and moving forward.

The Race Is Run

A heartfelt acoustic cover of Big Thief’s All Night All Day. I wanted to keep the intimate, atmospheric mood of the original while giving it my own touch. This live recording reflects the emotional, moody side of my songwriting and love for indie, folk, and singer-songwriter music.

For fans of indie folk, indie rock, and acoustic covers — soulful, deep, and storytelling vibes. Recorded in London under the name Olliray.

All Night All Day – Big Thief (Cover by Olliray)

Lyrics:

[Verse]
शिव की महिमा गूंजे हर दिशा
The glory of Shiva echoes in every direction

त्रिशूल थामे वो महादेव सा
Holding the trident, he stands like the great Mahadev

गंगा की लहरें बनती सरगम
The waves of the Ganga become a melody

जटा में बसा पूरा ब्रह्मांड यहाँ
The entire universe resides in his matted hair

[Chorus]
ओम नमः शिवाय की धुन चले
The chant of "Om Namah Shivaya" flows on

शिव शंभो शिव शंभो शिव हर पल जले
Shiv Shambho, Shiv Shambho, Shiva burns bright every moment

आकाश गूंजे मंत्रों से भरा
The sky resounds, filled with mantras

शिव की आराधना में सारा जग सजा
The whole world is adorned in Shiva's worship

[Bridge]
हर हर महादेव की गूंज
The echo of "Har Har Mahadev"

ध्यान में खो जाओ
Lose yourself in meditation

वो नीला गला वो रुद्र का रूप
That blue throat, that fierce Rudra form

प्रकृति का हर स्वरुप गाओ
Sing every form of nature

[Verse 2]
शिव तांडव की आग सी जले
The fire of Shiva's Tandav burns bright

रुद्र वीणा की आवाज चले
The sound of Rudra's veena plays on

नंदी की चाल पर धरती थिरके
The earth trembles to Nandi's stride

शिवालय की घंटियाँ बजती झरने
The bells of the Shiva temple ring like waterfalls

[Chorus]
ओम नमः शिवाय की धुन चले
The chant of "Om Namah Shivaya" flows on

शिव शंभो शिव शंभो शिव हर पल जले
Shiv Shambho, Shiv Shambho, Shiva burns bright every moment

आकाश गूंजे मंत्रों से भरा
The sky resounds, filled with mantras

शिव की आराधना में सारा जग सजा
The whole world is adorned in Shiva's worship

Shiv Shambhu

Opening Verse
समय का चक्र, अनंत कहानी,
The wheel of time, an endless story,


शिव की महिमा, सृष्टि की निशानी।
Shiva’s glory, the sign of creation.


हर पल में छुपा है उनका प्रकाश,
In every moment, His light is hidden.


महाकाल का तांडव, सृष्टि का विनाश।
Mahakaal’s (Shiva as the Lord of Time) dance, the destruction of creation.


Hook/Chorus (Sanskrit Shloka)
स्मरच्छिदं पुरच्छिदं भवच्छिदं मखच्छिदं
The destroyer of desire, of cities, of worldly existence, of sacrifices,


गजच्छिदान्धकच्छिदं तमन्तकच्छिदं भजे।

Verse 1 (Hindi Rap)
शिव का नाम, हर कण में बसा,
Shiva’s name resides in every particle,


काल के पार, जहां कुछ न बचा।
Beyond time, where nothing remains.


त्रिनेत्रधारी, महाकाल का रूप,
The three-eyed one, the form of Mahakaal,


सृष्टि का हर नियम, शिव का स्वरूप।
Every law of creation is Shiva’s own form.


तांडव की गूंज, ब्रह्मांड का खेल,
The echo of the Tandava, the play of the universe,


शिव की महिमा, अनंत और अमिट मेल।
Shiva’s glory, an endless and indelible union.


हर युग में वही, न कोई शुरुआत,
The same in every era, with no beginning,


न कोई अंत, बस शिव का साथ।
No end, only Shiva’s presence.


Hook/Chorus (Sanskrit Shloka)
भानुकोटिभास्वरं भवाब्धितारकं परं
Radiant as millions of suns, the savior from the ocean of existence, the Supreme,


नीलकण्ठमीप्सितार्थदायकं त्रिलोचनम्।
The blue-throated, the three-eyed, the giver of all desired things.


कालकालमम्बुजाक्षमक्षशूलमक्षरं
The Lord of Time, lotus-eyed, wielder of the trident, imperishable,


काशिकापुराधिनाथकालभैरवं भजे॥
I worship Kaal Bhairava, the Lord of Kashi.


Verse 2 (Hindi Rap)
शिव का तांडव, समय का नाश,
Shiva’s Tandava, the destruction of time,


हर युग में वही, अनंत प्रकाश।
The same in every era, infinite light.


त्रिनेत्रधारी, काल का खेल,
The three-eyed one, the player of time,


शिव की महिमा, हर युग का मेल।
Shiva’s glory, the union of every age.


जहां विज्ञान रुक जाए, वहां से शुरू,
Where science stops, from there it begins,


शिव की शक्ति, हर कण में समाहित।
Shiva’s power is contained in every particle.


काल के भीतर, छुपा है जो सत्य,
Within time, the hidden truth,


महाकाल का नाम, हर युग का कर्तव्य।
Mahakaal’s name, the duty of every era.


Bridge (Sanskrit + Hindi)
तव त्रीणि रूपाणि सृष्ट्यादौ सृष्टिकृत् ब्रह्मा।
Your three forms: at creation, you are Brahma the creator,


स्थितौ विष्णुः प्रलयसमये त्वं च हरिरिति॥
At preservation, you are Vishnu; at dissolution, you are Hari (Shiva).
Closing Verse (Hindi + Sanskrit)


शिव का नाम, हर युग का सार,
Shiva’s name, the essence of every age,


काल के पार, जहां कुछ न बचा।
Beyond time, where nothing remains.


त्रिनेत्रधारी, महाकाल का रूप,
The three-eyed one, the form of Mahakaal,


हर पल में बसा है शिव का स्वरूप।
In every moment, Shiva’s form resides.

Lyrics:

[Verse]
गगन के घेरे में छुपा राज़ है
There is a secret hidden in the circle of the sky

समय के धारों का कुछ आज है
Today holds something from the currents of time

पृथ्वी की गोद में खेलता शिशु
A child plays in the lap of the earth

काल चक्र घूमे बिना रुके तू
The wheel of time spins without stopping

[Chorus]
ॐ भूर् भुवः स्वः गूंज उठे
The chant "Om Bhurbhuvah Swaha" resounds

आकाश तले सब कुछ लिपटे
Everything is enveloped beneath the sky

मंगल
Mars

शनि
Saturn

सूर्य
Sun

और चाँद
And the moon

सृष्टि का न समाप्त है बंध
The creation’s bond is never-ending

[Verse 2]
खुला है रास्ता सितारों का यहाँ
The path of the stars is open here

जहाँ में छुपी है माया की कथा
In the world, the story of illusion is hidden

धरातल से बंधा है हर एक धागा
Every thread is tied to the earth

जीवन का राज़
The secret of life

जिसे समझे न जग
Which the world does not understand

[Bridge]
वक्रतुंड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ
Vakratunda Mahakaya, radiant as millions of suns

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्व कार्येषु सर्वदा
O Lord, always remove all obstacles from my work

अंतरिक्ष के राग में गूंजे श्लोक
Hymns echo in the melody of the cosmos

समय के साथ न बनता कोई शोक
With time, no sorrow is formed

[Chorus]
ॐ भूर् भुवः स्वः गूंज उठे
The chant "Om Bhurbhuvah Swaha" resounds

आकाश तले सब कुछ लिपटे
Everything is enveloped beneath the sky

मंगल

सूर्य
Sun

और चाँद
And the moon

सृष्टि का न समाप्त है बंध
The creation’s bond is never-ending

[Verse 3]
समय के सूत्र में बंधी ये डोर
This thread is tied in the formula of time

कहीं शांति कहीं ध्वनि का शोर
Somewhere there is peace, somewhere the noise of sound

आकाश के पार एक राज़ छुपा
Beyond the sky, a secret is hidden

जो देखे वही हो स्वयं समृद्ध
Whoever sees it becomes truly fulfilled
