CITY OF JOY/Kolkata
Baby I am in the city of joy
Locked up in a room
With a bottle of booze
Looking at the phone
Waiting for your call
I think, I am crying
They take me around like a toy
Round and round in circle
The billboard says “it is the city you want”
No one talks in the market
No one smiles in the streets
I think, they are crying
There is a girl selling dolls
No one is buying, no one gives a damn
There is a man begging in the street
No one cares no one sees
I think, he is a dying man
And the rain forgets me
When I come out I see people
With their wet umbrellas
With their lonely faces..
I am crying I am crying
In summer of 2015, me and Laishram Karnajit landed in Kolkata to record an album with Dipankar Jojo Chaki. Our accommodation was in some huge film city site. They had auditoriums and film sets everywhere. I dont remember the name of the place. the room we stayed was like a make up room. It has got those huge glasses with bulbs around.
After couple of days we were shifted to another nice bungalow. what i remember was it was close to Stayajit Ray's film institute.
This song was written in the first couple of days in this trip and it reflected my mood then. we recorded the song right away there.
Produced by HK STUDIOS
Recorded Live
