Changing Homes, title track

Changing Homes, the third song from my side project, Changing Homes, is the [obviously] the self titled track, which metaphorically describes the concept of the title itself.

This track had significant contribution from all three members of the project, and was created in a matter of hours of tweaking with melodies and sounds.




Changing Homes:


Curtains swell to let the wind in
Shake my feet, I fall back
Rain comes pouring onto summer
Fills my eyes, I start to cry
The sound of pages, flipping on the wall
As if time wants me to move.
But your hands hold me down.
Houses in the sky
Floating like the clouds
I'd give anything to fly
I pull myself out
I reach out for the clouds
There's a tree root coming down
Grab it and it lifts me,
Off the ground.
I'm changing,
I'm changing homes now.

A year older

Time just doesn't slow down. At this pace, I fear that I will fall flat on the ground soon with the realization that I haven't done much in life. It's another birthday, and half of 2013 is over. Life's been good so far. Ups and downs, twists and turns... but even at this stage/age, I don't know where I am going.

Well whatever the path ahead may bring, I'd like to take some time out to appreciate myself (something I don't do often). I'd like to wish myself a Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday doodlebird.

I'll try update this blog more often. However, with office and studies - the latter, not progressing at all - it's very hard to find some time to do anything "artistic". But I'll try.

Changing Homes.

I've posted a Changing Homes' track before on the blog. This is the latest track Ogni, which was directed by me and composed and produced by both Rakat and me. Raj wanted to contribute but hadn't found the time to do so, and the track had been lying idle for quite some time for which reason I asked Rakat to re-mix and master it, and release it.




A friend of Raj and a new fan drew us a cover photo based on my rough artwork for Changing Homes. It turned out amazing. I'm happy with the way this project is going. It's getting a lot of response and we did not intend for that when we started making the music. Or at least I didn't.
