Harek Saas Sita (Acoustic)

This week I am revisiting ‘Harek Saas Sita’ from my second album, “Ma Ek Sapana." The emotion expressed in this song is the sadness I used to allow myself to feel only late at night, when the whole city slept, and I poured everything I had into songs. Perhaps it was my way of keeping my emotions to myself. Perhaps I didn’t want to burden anyone with them. But the 2024 version of me has realized that emotions, whether positive or negative, are always better shared, especially with those who love you. For those who’ve felt their sadness creep in, I just want you to know that it is okay to feel it and super healthy to express it. Whether you’re confiding in someone or carving your emotions into your art, I want you to know that you’re not alone, and emotions are what make us human.

Here's a 2 AM version of ‘Harek Saas Sita’ exclusively for you,
Astha.
