Don't ask why this name of the band. Maybe something weird just came to my mind. Also as regards other postings, not all of them are good. About this song, I wrote it on while I was sailing last December. It turned out to be better than I hoped, still since we don't have a proper setup the quality might not be the best, at few places there seems to be glitches while recording (not much to hope from a webcam microphone). (I love my Epiphone LP) As lyrics are concerned, the song means different to different people. I had this in my mind while writing: Sometimes your thoughts, from your past, wander far away in memory of someone, and you can do nothing more than contemplate on this thought. Sometimes these thoughts can be painful. Then the only way out is to go somewhere else and forget, chale ja kahin. More of a landscape type feeling, while the song merely plays on your mind. Done in the happy E major scale. Chalke jo khabar, raah bhi nahi dooriyon ki bhi, parwaah thi nahi dhoondhte hue aaye fir yahi keh rahe sabhi, chale ja kahin.. chale ja kahin Manjilein sabhi, naam ki sahi Khwabon ka sira, thaam ke chali Door aa gaye, dhoondhte hue keh rahe sabhi, chale ja kahin.. chale ja kahin Chale ja kahin Jahan ho tere din, teri zameen bas waqt ki tarah, behti ja rahi dhoond na sake, koi beeti jindagi ab keh rahe sabhi, chale ja kahin.. chale ja kahin.. chale ja kahin ========================================================= MP3 Player SoundClick =========================================================
Thank you! :') I was beginning to wonder where everybody was. Maybe its the cricket match or the Sunday? Or maybe I just forgot to mention "Feedbacks are welcome"
I liked it! While reading the lyrics, i thought the tune for this should be mellow and reflective and it was....and not happy (like I thought it might be when you mentioned a happy E). Neither the guitar playing nor the singing were very good, but you'll get better and plus, you have to work around your shortcomings when you make a song and you did it pretty well here. The lyrics, I thought, were very apt for a sailor....because chale ja kahin is probably easier for them in the minds of other people yet it can be a lonely life and you're stuck in the same place for 6 odd months. And funnily enough, you're the one who goes somewhere and it's the rest of the world who move on with their lives.
I said happy because I was quite surprised at the overall mood post-recording. I had imagined it in my mind to be a litter sadder-than-mellow. I guess it was due to the scale (?). Guitar playing had some discrepancies, but we didn't try again for a better version. (This was the second). About the vocals, I don't really know, probably you could point out where it could have been better? And many people interpreted it as something related to leaving home. Rather its about our own thoughts and actions (that sometimes go wayward) moving on to somewhere else more comfortable. It somewhat applies to returning home too. That is a really interesting point, an irony I hadn't thought of.
