Dear Sahana

Song: Dear Sahana
Artist: Sid Sriram
Release Date: June 2nd

I've always wanted to hear my own name in a song...and in this song I do not hear it, but I feel it.

The song eases in slowly tieing to his lines, "just as quiet as dawn, you crept up on me". His voice and minimal musical accompaniments carry his heart's message and pierce forward. It is ethereal and comforting. But then, the song picks up in pace and rhythm after he says, "Oh, how I've tried to go on my own / every path seems to lead me back to you". The strong back beats convey his passion, his desire, his heartbeat. It is a quickening and an undeniability. A power, like a when the river gushes into the waterfall. It pours and overflows as he repeats the simple (not so simple) lyrics. 

Listen. Add it to your playlist and share it with your friends. This song has a mere 14k views on Youtube, but it is deserving of so many more. 

This song is on repeat in my life. Even now, I have it playing as I sit on my patio in the setting sun. I hope you're listening somewhere beautiful too.

P.S. I love that the video is a "one take". No rehearsals, no retakes, no acting. You can see his genuinity and feel his heart. ​
