different now
remember how it used to be
look behind there was a time,
time with a theme, music, story of its own
with you, me, and the ways of the world I hadn't seen

we were on our boat
we'd talked the talk 
your face looked down
your eyes did say it to me,
thoughts that crossed my mind,
a way that I couldn't find,
like a trial too long and you were gone, 

Just calm down, I said to me,
not too long to be out of this sea 

(Chorus)
oh…where did you go ? what didn't I do ? where was I to go now ?
oh…what do I do ? the days too long,
I just wanted to say hello... 

seemed like a bright sunny day, in the month of may
you looked at me and smiled, it just felt right
we were on our way to your place,
lost in our space,
could've been here forever,
but it started to shower, 

you and I, in my ride,
under the crying sky,
we just couldn't let it hide,
did you want to leave ?
I couldn't believe,
you could stay a while,
was it so fragile ? 

(Repeat Chorus) 

light of the sun knocked into my room
I shut the door and it chose the window,
I followed the path of light, found those cards and pictures

time has changed, many did come and go,
my thoughts still lingered on you

the fear of submission,
there was no hesitation,
that familiar way,
led me to disarray,
cos you never looked back,
there wasn't another chance,
I'd wandered off the track,
and went into a trance 

took a while to assemble myself again,
some of me, I gave to you, 
some of you, you gave to me,
a beautiful picture that once there was,
isolated and untouched in a special place…that lies inside of me

Same Sky

The Ride

My Everyday

Takar Nabam is an Indian singer songwriter who infuses mellow alt rock references with hints of Himalayan folk and the music of North East India to create a soulful concoction of liberating World Music grooves, ethno-jazz riffs and dreamy vocals. From India’s Arunachal Pradesh region bordering Tibet, Takar’s music embodies the truth that it’s the journey that matters, and not where it should eventually lead to.

"Takar is a true representation of Indian Indie, both in his sheer musical prowess and how he retains his accent while singing in Nyishi dialect. Infusing the traditional Himalayan Dramyin into what are essentially western styles of Blues and R&B tracks that pay homage to his roots." - A HUMMING HEART

"Nabam’s solemn, jazz-inflected yearning and bittersweet refrains take a heart-wrenching perspective, one that’s undoubtedly tearjerker material." – A.T (@Rolling Stone India )

Takar grew up listening to a lot of 90s pop, Rock, Metal and Alternative Rock. The guitar became his first love, for which he won several awards during his school years. Gaining exposure in the Delhi Music scene, his peak moment was opening for Metallica in 2011 at Bengaluru, India.

Takar studied music formally, introducing himself to Composition and Arranging, playing in jazz ensembles, and learning a great deal about Jazz, World Music and RnB, which informed the next phase of his musical journey. Listing John Mayer, Tom Misch, Mac De Marco, Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake, Damien Rice and Incubus, as well as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Julian Lage, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane as his influences, Takar Nabam released his debut Album 'Same Sky' in 2016 and sophomore album 'This Home, That Home' in 2018. His latest EP 'Red and Yellow' was released in November 2021.

Takar has performed at notable Music Festivals in India - NH7 Weekender, Ziro Music Festival, Orange Music Festival. His video for the song 'Good Night' made it to the Top 10 Music Videos released by Indian Indie Artists in 2021. 'Red and Yellow' EP made it to the Top 20 EP/Album releases by Indian Indie Artist in 2021. He is the first artist from Arunachal Pradesh to have played at Sofar Sounds Brooklyn and Rockwood Music Hall, New York and he was nominated as Top 5 Guitarists by The Indies, India, in 2021.
 
“The tribal region of Arunachal Pradesh in India might not be the first place you think of when looking for guitar’s ‘next-big-thing’, but Takar Nabam – already named in Guitar Player Magazine’s ‘Top Five Guitar Players in India’ in 2020 – is absolutely at the forefront of innovative, convention-defying guitarists with his deep, instinctual understanding of both his instrument and his voice. Nabam demonstrates a deep respect and foundation in the musical traditions of his own culture whilst mixing in elements of contemporary blues and roots greats such as John Mayer, Tom Misch, and slide supremo Derek Trucks.” - A&R Factory, UK
