about

"Ashes" came out of an extraordinary experience in my life, which I share through my fragile voice and eclectic mix of influences I've had over the years. It's worth mentioning here that Michael Fossenkemper (Turtletone Studios, NY), a grammy winning Mastering Engineer was also a part of this project.

lyrics

While it slowly burnt down to ashes,
sunny memories came back in flashes,
through our eyes waterfalls emerged,
into the darkest blue I had ever plunged

When I think about those vibrant days
my roots inside are shaken, I may fall any second
sunny day, a far fetched thought
the moon had turned pale
lingers on, I cannot forget that day

While it slowly burnt down to ashes,
sunny memories came back in flashes,
through our eyes waterfalls emerged,
into the darkest blue I had ever plunged

(Spoken Part)
It still hasn't sunk in, as yet
Decades of hard work, all went up in flames,
for no fault of ours
Yet it takes me back to the inside,
now laden in fumes, with no light,
it's suffocating inside
I close my eyes and remind myself that there is light somewhere
and I'll find it...

When I think about those vibrant days
my roots inside are shaken, I may fall any second
sunny day, a far fetched thought
the moon had turned pale
lingers on, lingers on, lingers on....

When I think about those vibrant days
my roots inside are shaken, I may fall any second
sunny day, a far fetched thought
the moon had turned pale
lingers on, lingers on, lingers on...

From India’s Arunachal Pradesh region bordering Tibet, Takar’s music embodies the truth that it’s the journey that matters, and not where it should eventually lead to. ... more
