[arr] Pray for me, sings Rahman

Pray for me, sings Rahman
   By: Vickey Lalwani
   September 21, 2005

Close on the heels of A R Rahman and Blaze’s My Wish Comes True (touted as 
India’s answer to
Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On), the duo have now rendered another English 
song together.

The song, titled Pray For Me Brother, is based on the theme of eradicating 
poverty. Rahman is
also the international ambassador of the UN anti-
tuberculosis campaign, Stop TB.

Wake up, world

Speaking to hitList from Chennai, Rahman said, “The anthem isn’t just music, 
but a wake-up call
to end poverty.” Says Blaze, who wrote the lyrics, “Rahman and I got along 
fabulously during
the making of the Kisna song. Some time back, Rahman asked if I was interested 
in penning
something for his anti-TB campaign.

There is some rap involved too, and I got quite charged and agreed. Actually, 
the millennium
campaign covers a wide perspective of issues and poverty is one such issue. 
Besides, poverty is
definitely one of the reasons for tuberculosis.” Like most other songs, the 
tune was set first
and the lyrics came later.

“It’s an awareness anthem, which would inform people on how to make the world a 
better place.
The main line in the song is “Are you searching for a reason?”.

We want to tell people that they don’t need a reason to be generous,” pointed 
out Blaze,
adding, “It’s a pleasure to share the stage with Rahman. I do my role of 
rapping, especially
during the chanting which happens in the second half.”

Aussie wave

The duo has been taking the song on Rahman’s world tour. They first kicked off 
in Delhi two
weeks back, followed by Melbourne and Sydney.
“The reception in Australia was mind-blowing and the atmosphere, electrifying.

When the lights went off and we began, the crowd switched on their mobile phone 
lights and
started waving in rhythm. Such a response enhances the mood and importantly, 
instantly tells
you that you are on the right path.”
“The song is growing day by day. Very soon, we should have it on the video,” 
Blaze added.

The duo’s next stop is Singapore, on September 24, where they will perform the 
song with
Rahman’s repertoire, followed by Bangalore on October 8.

His most popular stint till date has been teaching Amitabh how to rap in Bunty 
Aur Babli. He
