GunFreedomRadio EP410 Interceptors with Matthew Thomas

"Jhanda Se Judai" is a powerful and emotional pop song that delves into the heart-wrenching reality faced by many young Pakistanis today. It tells the story of a youth whose patriotism and dreams for a prosperous future in Pakistan have been shattered by the country's deteriorating economic and safety conditions. The lyrics take the listener on a journey from the innocence of childhood, where the protagonist would save up to buy flags for Chauda August, to the harsh realities of adulthood, where those savings are now meant to fund an escape from a country they once proudly called home. With a mix of Urdu and English, the song captures the desperation, loss of hope, and the difficult decision to leave behind one’s homeland in search of a better life abroad. It's not just a song—it's a reflection of the growing disillusionment and the painful choices being made by a generation that's struggling to reconcile their love for their country with the need to survive."

Why Walk All the Time is a playful, dreamy song inspired by life in Switzerland and Germany, where walking is a way of life. From office colleagues to friends to loved ones, everyone seems to be saying, “let’s go for a walk.” For a girl from the beaches of Kerala, it’s a culture shift—two or three hours is enough, but here it’s six, even eight hours of continuous walking!
This track captures the humor, wonder, and little struggles of adapting to a new lifestyle. It’s about the clash between a beach girl’s love for chilling in nature and the endless energy of people who never miss a chance to walk.

With a lighthearted, dreamy vibe and a touch of storytelling, Why Walk All the Time is both relatable and refreshing , perfect for anyone who’s ever asked themselves that same question.

Welcome to Sharmila Journeys, 
Music & Stories - the creative space of a songwriter, storyteller, and digital artist.
For many years I wrote poems quietly in my diary. They were words waiting in silence, shaped by the people I met, the places I travelled, and the emotions I carried. In 2025 those poems began to find music. They became songs across many genres — pop, jazz, rock, folk, country, EDM, and metal. Each one carries its own atmosphere, its own story, its own landscape of feeling.
As a psychologist, yoga therapist, and Ayurvedic counsellor, I have spent my life listening closely to emotions. This deep listening does not end with healing work; it flows naturally into my songwriting. My music is not taken from private client stories. It rises from my own sensitivity, from human experience, from travel across cultures, from the whispers of nature, and even from the quiet presence of stones, rivers, and trees.
Every song I create is accompanied by original digital artwork, designed to capture the mood and spirit of the story. Together, words, music, and art become a journey.
In just the first weeks of sharing my music on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud, my songs have already begun to reach listeners organically around the world. This has encouraged me to step forward more openly as a songwriter, offering my catalog not only to listeners but also to filmmakers, music supervisors, and creative collaborators.
