Luka

This is an old song by Suzanne Vega. The song talks about a very sensitive topic – Child Abuse. The main character is this song is a kid named Luka who is abused by his parents. The song is presented from his point of view. I love the way she presents a sensitive topic like Child Abuse in a simplistic and candid manner but still hits the point hard. Heres my version of the song.

Just the way you are

Dont know what to say about this song.. It holds a special place in my heart. Every time I sing or listen to it, I am filled with joy. Billy Joel definitely has the Midas touch according to me. Here goes….

Phir Dekhiye

This is one of my favorite songs from the hindi movie Rock On. I worked with Jay Swaminathan on this cover. He is responsible for the guitar and keyboard parts in the song, and also the mixing. Originally sung by Caralisa Monteiro, here is our attempt at covering this beauty.

Cemetary Gates (Pantera Cover) - Featuring Gibson Guitarist

I’ve wanted to do this song for a long time, but never found a guitarist to cover it.. n then I met Gibson :-) He gave me the opportunity to collaborate and here it is. This is one of the greatest rock ballads period!


Cemetary Gates (Pantera Cover) - Collaboration with Gibson Guitarist at Muziboo.com


Lyrics:

Reverend, reverend,
Is this a conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
No revenge… beneath me.
Lost within my plans for life,
It all seems so unreal.
Im a man cut in half in this world,
Left in my misery.

(instrumental)

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes.
Its nothing new for him to see,
I didnt ask him why.
I will remember…
The love our souls had sworn to make.
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see now is your (face).

Well I guess
You took my youth
And gave it all away.
Like the birth of a new found joy,
This love would end in rage…
And when she died
I couldnt cry,
The pride within my soul.
You left me incomplete
All alone as the memories now unfold.

Believe the word.
I will unlock my door…
And pass the cemetery gates.

Sometimes when Im alone,
I wonder aloud,
If youre watching over me
Some place far abound.
I must reverse my life
I cant live in the past.
Then set my soul free,
Belong to me at last.

Through all those complex years
I thought I was alone.
I didnt care to look around
And make this world my own…
And when she died
I shouldve cried and spared myself some pain.
You left me incomplete,
All alone as the memories still remain.

The way we were,
The chance to save my soul…
And my concern is now in vain.
Believe the word,
I will unlock my door…
And pass the cemetery… gates

(instrumental)

The way we were,
The chance to save my soul…
And my concern is now in vain.
Believe the word,
I will unlock my door…
And pass the cemetery…
