Well you didn?t help me out during my night of insomnia.. but I still decided to listen to em (kidding) Flickering & Unsteady ?
Nice chords. I actually have some melody variation ideas for this one but I won?t bore you at this point perfect length too, the message is delivered! Although actually I?d like to see lyrics to it, some of the words are slightly obscured. Hey that rhymed! A Love Song (Demo) - All I could find was the demo version of this one available to listen to online. However it?s still a nice song, well written. Did you write that all at one time or did you merge 2 separate song bits to create this one? You provided the lyrics this time which was helpful. All ? Can?t find this one Variety ? Found the lyrics but no music out there Some cool sounds in this one and again lots of interesting chord changes. Good playing. I like the drumming and beats right at the end. Until Your Candle Burns Out - Nice song, slightly jerky in the verse meters, particularly in the last one. I would have a lot of ideas for meter changes if I really wanted to think about it.. but that?s just me and I always have ideas like that. Overall it?s a nice sounding song. Thanks for pointing me to these. Keep on rockin -

hahaha sorry thank you for your so detailed review of these songs and thank you for all the nice things you have said about each song you got to hear interesting feedback indeed "What does kalau nasty mean? " 'kalau nasty' is a phrase from a verse in the scripture Brhad Naradiya Purana. the verse states "harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty gatir anyatha" which means "in this Age of Kali, the only way by which one can attain love for God is by chanting the Holy Name, chanting the Holy Name, chanting the Holy Name of Hari (Krsna)" so, literally 'kalau nasty' refers to 'in this age of Kali' (the age we are currently in, according to Vedic teachings, which is the shortest in the cycle of Ages, and the most degraded Age in all respects) so i used that phrase to have a double-meaning, as i was singing about the slaughter of animals, and 'nasty' being in English what it is, referring to how animals are treated. "Whats that really faint and very low sound towards the end of the song? Is that a didgeridoo?" hehe, no it isn't. throughout the song i do a background vocal in the lower octave as well, and this is what continues out until the end too, which is what you heard re: Ari - "Although actually I?d like to see lyrics to it, some of the words are slightly obscured. Hey that rhymed!" hahaha sure, here are the lyrics - "Ari" by Rahil Babooram (2005-10-11, 110pm -> 114pm) 2005 Rahil Babooram Music, COTT from the album SIMPLY RAHIL "be careful with my heart it's not at all a toy it's been thru quite a lot and i'm just a boy i wonder how you could tell me you love me so and then when we confirm it it was so easy to let go.. it's hard to function now after the sudden end i wish there was some way to make it mend. i loved you you know you know how true now it's like i'm left alone without a clue you loved me so much you really thought you knew i really can't cope with this, never thought you'd be one who'd make me blue. so now all i could do is pray and try to live the day wipe my tears and dry my eyes and wish that you could stay. each night brings loneliness and memories in my heart, maybe i should have known to not let you and i have a start.. but how could i have known...?" re: A Love Song "
All I could find was the demo version of this one available to listen to online. " here's it done live in 2005 - (short of hearing the actual album recording) -> "Did you write that all at one time or did you merge 2 separate song bits to create this one? " wrote it all in 1 sitting lyrics and music, maybe within an hour (back in 2004). "All ? Can?t find this one" hehe, can't give everything away free right? hahaha here's a live version of "All" from 2005 - -> "Wow - http://www.reverbnation.com/rahilbabooram/song/626800-wow--1996-2006-rahil-babooram-musiccott Strange chord sequence in this song, very unique to you. " hahaha "Lyrically this is one that I personally am not that into, but that?s just me. " haha, yes i rememberkapoo:
thanks for pointing me to these. Keep on rockin
and thank you very much for checking them out keep on rocking too

re: Earth Day today
Rahil Babooram - vocals, guitars, bass, drums, tambourine, keyboard "All on you" by Rahil Babooram (2007-04-17) 1. take a walk any day do you still see much green on your way? throw your garbage anywhere, apparently the effects don't seem to scare. burn your trash, fill the air, you don't care a thing about the atmosphere.. chorus: the birds in the trees know how to behave, so why can't we just take pattern? the shame is all on you.. what goes around comes around, when it's all gone, what will we do? the blame is only on you.. 2. you complain about the drains, yet you are the one who causes all these pains. dump the chemicals in the seas, then you wonder how come there's so much disease. "oh the place is getting so hot", in spite of this, you are really doing what? repeat chorus 3. you can put blame on the government, but a lot is due to your own abandonment. scream and shout 'bout aluminium smelter, but daily you degrade your own shelter. apart from becoming unhealthier, paid to destroy your home doesn't make you any wealthier. 4. the rain forests give so much life, but you clear them away to give animals death and strife. the soya you feed the sentenced cows should be used instead to feed countless hungry mouths. i can only really sing so much, but it's up to us to act and not just watch.. repeat chorus x 3 2007 Rahil Babooram Music, COTT -

hahaha good one! (of course Trinidad would is a country, not a city, although in physical size, the island can be perhaps just as big as a city in the US perhaps haha - as you also may know, Sir Paul included 'Trinidad' in the lyrics for 'Atlantic Ocean' - http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85920 )
