This week I’m revisiting Harek Saas Sita, perhaps one of my favourite songs on my second album, “Ma Ek Sapana." Songs are strange; they’re like human layers, continuously changing, evolving in meaning with time. That’s perhaps why I love the art of songwriting so deeply. It has always been my way of time-stamping experiences, sealing moments into little capsules I can return to years later. Revisiting these songs lately has been therapy on its own, where I get to connect with a version of myself from a long time ago.
Even though this version of me has moved on from the emotions experienced while writing this song, it definitely sits as a reminder in my body, where I find my younger self searching for a way to calm her nervous system down. How beautiful that songwriting became the medium through which I could hold, compartmentalize, and safely store emotions that felt overwhelming. A soul that once craved deep isolation is now slowly stepping back into the public eye, carrying new layers, a new identity, and a renewed sense of self.
Songwriting, as an art form, has been my closest companion my entire life, and today all I feel is gratitude that I get to do this… write songs and sing them for you. Full session on all streaming platforms.
