That, is without a doubt the WINNER for the most unique and interesting song of the year.

Just one question. How in the world did you get Yoko Ono to sing on that song? wink

Thank you very much for listening, Guitarhacker and Torrey Bliss. Very much appreciated!

@Guitarhacker
Yoko was busy on the day of recording, so I got her twin sister to do a sound-a-like performance :-)

Cool song. The fiddle fits well with the rest of the tracks. Well done.

Who did the vocals and is there a translation of them? Would love to know what they mean.

Thank you very much, Floyd Jane.

It was a difficult song to mix, so I appreciate very much that you like the outcome.

Hi Samuel - and thank you!

I too very much wanted to know what the lyrics meant, so I did some research about so-called Carnatic (some people call it Tamil) music and this particular song, which - as far as I know from studying the subject - has been used in a movie called "Mr. Fraud". Listen from around 1:10 into the video:




But it is a traditional song that comes in many versions.

The first line that starts with "Sada Paalaya Sara Saakshi..." means:

Protect me always, Dear Lotus-eyed Goddess Parvathi...

And then it goes on:

Always unequaled.. Always unequaled in true beauty

And second verse that starts with "Sudhaa Madhuraa Vaag Vilaasini...":

Your speech is as sweet as nectar

You dispels all sins, ever-smiling Goddess Parvathi
Always unequaled...Always unequaled in true beauty
Protect me always..
