But it rained - Parikarma

This was more than 10 years ago.

Back then, me and Namita were teenagers, and mani was a kid. We loved MTV, Channel V, and Star TV (which is Star World now). Each day after school/college, when mom n dad were in office, our afternoon was dedicated to watching music videos and hearing all sorts of songs in huge volume! We watched X-Files and Friends re-runs, and Highlander.

Golden days, yeah.

Here's a song that me and my sisters used to hear when we were way too young. Asmita may not have liked it as much, yet we played it loud. I was thinking of this song in office last month but couldnt remember the lyrics. A few days back, when I was in Asmita's car, she up'ed the volume of the radio amidst the traffic, and I was transformed back to my younger years. I used to love this song. It was touchy. The video was way too sad. (I was always a sad-songs-person.) When I read about it online I knew why.

BUT IT RAINED

BY PARIKARMA

Wrapped in a polythene tucked away safe in my mind
A little goodbye maybe or just a passing smile

The birds fly away to the southern sky searching a home
A bunch of paper flowers or a little boy left all alone
Can somebody hear me I'm screaming from so far away
Morning who will calm you now, the evening is eclipsed again

Well does life get any better
More yesterday than today
How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow
But it rained . . .

They justified the cause for which Daddy might give up his life
It's been so long, so long a time, still I miss Daddy at night
The ache is long gone but the never keeps staring along
The waters in the seas are high
and all the sand castles have drowned

Well does life get any better
More yesterday than today
How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow
But it rained . . .


You must hear the song, the music is heart touching....
