My Monsoon Mixtape of Love: The Defintive Mid-Season Special....

Since the "14 days - 7 ways" series has been quite popular, I've decided to stretch it out a little. There has been some absolutely brilliant new music that's been coming out & i've been trying my best to wrap my zen around it. So, in appreciation of some tracks that have been on heavy rotation in my head & in my car & at night when I slip to sleep, let me dangle these beauties in front of you to pick ripe & feed on...

Also - I mentioned that there is a secret catalog of Dye Corduroy's country/alt. country songs that I've written & tucked away. I've decided to surface some of the tracks from the series - Havoc County. If anyone wants lyrics, please let me know & I shall post them.

So here they are, the dye corduroy alt. country ditty complete with slide guitar & heavy breathing (heh) & a few gems of tracks to slap on your ipod/whatevermp3deviceyouuse/iprepferthecreativezen & go driving in the rain/sun/humiditylikeatonofbricksburstingyourhairintoanafro:

Dye Corduroy's Latest Offering - Kiya Tum Ho Wohee

The latest Dye Corduroy track is all set and raring to burn holes in your iPods and ears. Beware: The chorus can stick to you like taffy on a hot wet Wednesday.

Its called "Kiya Tum Ho Wohee" & contrary to the obvious its not a lament, it's not about love and all your gooey gremlins, its about alienation of self, friends, people and civilization. Hence the lack of recognition and the query - kiya tum ho wohee?

Dye Corduroy - Kiya Tum Ho Wohee

{lyrics}

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee

Darmiyaan;
Mein gumm yahaan;
Ikk kasak kee iss kashish mein khwab saarey;

Baysahaarey

Raastay;
Dhoop dhullay;
Waqt kay iss dasht mein who dhoondtay hain;

Behtay dhaarey

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee?

Maaverah;
Bay bahaa;
Silsiloan kay sahiloan pay woh khara hai;

Aik kinaarey

Ghair mein;
Andhair jahaan;
Manziloan kee chaoon mein bhee jaltay bhujtay;

Yeh iraaday

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee?

Aasmaan;
Par hai ikk nishaan;
Kehkashaan kee goad mein say chinn kay bikhjray;

Tootay taarey

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee?
