Ban Brothers - Phire Elaam (Official Video)

Описание: This is a Latin-infused ‘comeback’ love song in Bengali that fuses lilting melodies from the East and fingerstyle picking of acoustic guitar-driven arrangement of the West in waltz rhythm.

According to music critic Steve Sheppard, it “is a new single with sensitivity, textures and colours, and a sublime heartfelt and fluent vibration. (A)nd if you are a fan of bands like Incendio, then you will love it.”

Lyrics
---------
Phire Elaam [English translation: I Am Back]
(Gautam Banerjee, Swagata “Ban” Banerjee)

[Chorus x2]
Here I am, back again
I came back again
(And) it feels like I got you closer to me this time
(Now) I have built a new life (around you)

[Verse 1]
Why do you stay afar?
See, I am right here
In unison with your melody, I am afloat in the tide of song *
Let days fly by like birds with wings
I won’t go again, I promise
(Now) I have built a new life (around you)

[Chorus]
Here I am, back again
I came back again
(And) it feels like I got you closer to me this time
(Now) I have built a new life (around you)

[Verse 2]
See how the moon has risen in the sky far away
The tree branches are full of nameless flowers *
Remember how that night under a moonlit sky like this
We first dreamed together?
(Now) I have built a new life (around you)

[Chorus x2]
Here I am, back again
I came back again
(And) it feels like I got you closer to me this time
(Now) I have built a new life (around you)

--[End]--
