"It takes 10 mins to compose a tune if you are truly inspired...given the fact that it took 6 months, there must have been something wrong somewhere..." I read this statement somewhere in the media...Am not quite sure whether to agree to this or not...But I tend to believe the CWG song is more from the head than heart! Hence atleast for me it looks as though the spirit/emotion in tune is overtaken by musical arrangements and layering in instruments!
But this is still nice as a standalone song...Probably I should remove my preconceived notion:) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "AJ" <purev...@...> wrote: > > Thanks, Pramod.
