About the song

The song 'Ek Sapna tha' is a typical campus song which echoes the sentiments of us final year students who are about to leave the college in a few days' time. The song talks of the good, bad times we spent together and also looks at the future, about how the money we'll earn is no of value compared to the evenings we spent together.

Must admit that the lyrics though are a little on the paler side, but that was the best I could come up with. That I am a South Indian is no excuse, but somehow we were hardpressed for time and that whole project came off in two days flat speaks a lot of our commitment. Seriously! I guess none of us slept for those two days and that morning when we recorded the song on the terrace, everything fell into place so well and the world was suddenly more beautiful. Some sense of acheivement that was!

The song is quite popular in the college. Hope you'll like it as well.

We are open to all kinds of criticism. KIND Criticism we mean:)

KIND criticism? That sure does put a constraint on the words, doesn't it? But here goes:

Good song and lyrics, but knowing Nikhil, was expecting a peppier song. Vocals could've been a bit better, but in the end the feelings are what matter. Good beginning, and keep the albums rolling. And for heaven's sake, dun leave the college on such a morose note. Tune something more vibrant that you'd carry along for the rest of your lives.

I think all these people above know Nikhil. They can't be anything but kind.

Me too.

Anyway, cool song, bacchalog(sorry, remembered Anil Kapoor for some reason). Very nice, nostalgic tune. And, Nikhil, no, your being South Indian, or whatever other excuse you mentioned, doesn't come through in the song.

I'd like to call it a 'driving song.' You know, when you're on those endless stretches of national highways and it's 3:30 PM and the sun is beating down upon you, but it's still pretty cool. This is the kind of song you'd like to hear.

I know, I know, this isn't criticism at all, it's almost sucking up. Fine, here goes nothing. I do have issues with the singing of one or two high notes. Just in one or two places. Otherwise, cool!
