about

ACOUSTIC HARMONY BALLAD
With Jim Carrey doing a rather apt introduction and outdo, this is a soft ballad which i wrote in India. I thought i was writing about abstract things and people, then i realised it is mostly about me getting to the route of me.

The song is more a reflective journey taking you through people i have seen and met travelling as well as the stories and deep inner truths you somehow manage to share with a person having a chai having only met them for half an hour

lyrics

Two steps forward one step back, for me
Do you recall the scene
untouched ruins glistening in green.
Has that satisfied any soul in my life?

There is nothing you can do or say
the addict hides the pills and also hides what he really wants to say
don't cry
nothing here has been fortold
thats a lie.

In the looking glass of hope
there is touching eye to eye
of everything thats packed and locked away
cos i know right then,
don't fear the hidden treasures of your yesteryears.

So in the looking glass unknown
the people who you meet create a symphone inside of hope
feel their heart beat
and walk along that pain trod road with a smile
