TearDrop On the Sun

TearDrop On the Sun

released: 21/06/2009

TearDrop on the Sun was inspired by the song "TearDrop" by Massive Attack. I had always liked the song. Once while at site, working on a crappy unknown unidentifiable project, i got this beat running in my head ( at times beats start playing but eventually my brain just erases it feeling that "hey..this bums not gonna do nethin about this!!...Y the heck should i store it??!!"). But this specific beat kept on playing till i reached home(guess my brainy felt pity on me!). I went directly to my studio and started working on it. Beats were left, now again..i was left out confused what next to create?? I slept of by 9 p.m. by but by mornin 3, I was awake and tunes and grooves running in my head (it was the bass that was keepin on playing). Then i felt..a psychadelic touch would make it sound cooler (accordin to me, it's the Indian music which can bring about that feel ), maybe something which could be played and felt good by someone who is feeling 'high'. Started on it...and it went on (actually I did work on it from work too as i have the DAW copy on my office lappy), that evening i recorded my vocals, and hey...Teardrops On the Sun was formed.

This music according to me is something that potrays mysterious love, urban styles, attitude, that's what's inside me. Song is long coz' shortening it would be like..making something incomplete, not being able to explain a feelings inside (or another way of sayin it..like you wana have a Whooper from BK and you just go there and order " I need a burger"..that's it..??!!:-P)

Long Live the Spirit of Music!

Peace.

Lyrics by Salim Bawa

m a n t r a

my head's all numb with a dozen thoughts

i can't seem to run with the stream of life

like an addict's flame to the side of the rain

of the rain so cold by the humanist gains

seek another fame to the game so lame

if i end it all now, have to bow with shame

and make them all feel the pain of the race of the so called

emotional bonding phase.

here i go again with this sort of senseless tale

i dream in my dreams and i wish that i dream

what i saw and dreamt just be another dream

and the whole life so clueless, what could be so mean?

seek another fame to the game so lame

if i end it all now, have to bow with shame

and make them all feel the pain of the race of the so called

emotional bonding phase.

Formation Of Paranoid Android

Paranoid Android, a funny, odd but interesting title I came across when listening to Radiohead's beautiful track of the same name. It just inspired me so much, that I decided to form Paranoid Android, a small musical project consisting of Salim on vocals and myself into the composing and production.

Paranoid Android can be considered as an act of Electronic, and Indian Classical music. I found that when electronic, rap and Indian classical music joined together, beauty was created. A weaving between the eastern and western...modern and traditional..can call it many things. And we like making that kind of music.

PARANOID ANDROID is

Salim Bawa : Vocals
