The plant the flower The fruit the seed In each we die In each we bleed In hope in heart In head in clone In each we roam Search for a home Where the enemy Where the pain In final surrender True joy again One two three Who are we I can't see Can you hear me There's no true reply No genuine response Who among Can't actually touch Who among Can't pass too much There is a point Don't look you'll see One two three Who are we I can't see Can you hear me

Emptiness 04:39
Sometimes Life is like Walking through a maze Or trying to match a jigsaw puzzle Or swinging on a pendulum Either way you find yourself Left hanging in a dead end Where you can't fit the pieces together Everywhere There is emptiness Magnified by our attempts to fill it Everywhere There is emptiness Magnified by our attempts to fill it Everywhere There is emptiness Magnified by our attempts to fill it Everywhere There is emptiness Magnified by our attempts to fill it

Since I were born To me The beginning of time My home has been chaos Surrounded by glimmers False mirrors or light But now they are cleaned With the tears of despair Yet still I wonder Blind in these tunnels Blind in these tunnels It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm Since I were born To me The beginning of time My home has been chaos Surrounded by glimmers False mirrors or light But now they are cleaned With the tears of despair Yet still I wonder Blind in these tunnels Blind in these tunnels A single moment is to long To waste on thoughts Of things bygone A single moment is to long To waste on thoughts Of things bygone A single moment is to long To waste on thoughts Of things bygone A single moment is to long To waste on thoughts Of things bygone It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm It is the light that blinds Making the darkness warm

Games 01:59
I was always interested In leaving these games Thought they didn't play games in heaven But they're only of another form Guess I'll face it Existence is a game A gamble with the unknown I was always interested In leaving these games Thought they didn't play games in heaven But they're only of another form Guess I'll face it Existence is a game A gamble with the unknown

Shankar 02:26
Lyrics have been translated from Gurmukhi to English. "He alone is the True One within everything; by His doing all has come to pass. Whosoever comes to recognise the Divine will, comes to know the One; that person alone might be called His servant. God is unfathomable and beyond description; the Guru has granted this sweet nectar of realisation. Kabir says: My apprehensions have been destroyed and I have come to see the Immaculate One in everything." Translated by Kirit Singh.

Berimbau 03:34
Silence I like you Cos I cannot have you Violence I despise you Cos I want not to create you Yet through your fearful screams A whisper lures me And wraps me in a silent cloak A whisper lures me Silence you are so vague Cos I cannot have you Violence you are so clear Cos I want not to create you Yet through your fearful screams A whisper lures me And wraps me in a silent cloak A whisper lures me Silence you are so vague Cos I cannot have you Violence you are so clear Cos I want not to create you Yet through your fearful screams A whisper lures me And wraps me in a silent cloak A whisper lures me Yet through your fearful screams A whisper lures me And wraps me in a silent cloak A whisper lures me

Life is fragmenting Cracking up is fashionable From one to countless pieces Separation Then desolation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Lose yourself In the perversion Forget the answers To all those questions Just join me In this Total desertion Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation If you spot the contradiction You'll know what you've read Is truly fiction For real dislocation The losing of feeling Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation Till comes the creation Of a new generation Of a new generation Of a new generation

about

Here is my debut solo album titled 'Selfhood'.

I’m very proud to share this body of work with you all, after cultivating it across years of on and off focus and pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone. I feel very grateful to have found the courage within myself to experiment with singing and playing new instruments.

I am so fulfilled and excited to share moments of my musical journey, for at the end of the day, what good is it just sitting on my laptop...we must share our creations with the world!

I’ve played, recorded and produced all the instruments on this album, which include vocals, alto sax, flute, drums, bass, guitar, keys, violin, cello, synth, berimbau, field recordings, tabla and various percussion.

The album is inspired by our most challenging journey... the journey of no distance, inwards toward oneself, to find the core of truth, identity and oneness. I thank god and the source energy for allowing this all to unfold in it’s immaculate divine timing and in all its magnificent splendour.

Please buy, share and spread the word if it resonates 🙏💛🧡💚✨
