Music

Prince Ravi Varma talks a bit about a composition of Sri Thyagaraja and then sings it delightfully!

Stop and Stare

You start to wonder why you're here not there 

And you'd give anything to get what's fair 

But fair ain't what you really need 

Oh, can you see what I see 

Stop and stare 

I think I'm moving but I go nowhere 

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared 

But I've become what I can't be, oh 

Stop and stare

Heaven mustve programmed you

Cat Steven's sings Love/Heaven... a beautiful song.
I was curious of the use of the word 'programmed' in the song though as the song is from the 70s. Maybe a computer geek can have an answer.

I told you so!

It's the Grammy time and I can indulge in a bit of I' told you so'. For the chicks that I had written about in one of my previous post have won and its their song which I liked in it which was appreciated.
Seems like a great vindication for these chicks stands.

Band Review : Flipsyde

For all those who like variety and eclecticism, Flipsyde must be one of the band to hear. This band fuses together Hip-hop, rap, rock and latin elements together to create beautiful songs. Its not that well-known but I do hope that that changes. For these guys deserve to be heard by more people and I am sure they will be appreciated.

The band does have an indie music feel to it but they are trying to suceed commercially as well.
Apart from the sound, what I like about them is that they are thinking people and their lyrics reflect that. Their song "US history" is probably one of the best protest songs that I have heard. They touch upon various topics including the guilt of abortion in "Happy Birthday", vagary of fate in "Someday" and also do have a sensible advice to give in most of their songs in a sensitive way.

I will be following their career and hope that these guys do well. Piper, Steve, Dave and D-Sharp, you rock!
