The World is my stage

the Sun and Moon - the Lights.

The scene transforms every second,

and the Sky echoes my voice.

Maya - The Illusion

Perhaps many of you are already aware of the Jazz vocalist Susheela Raman. Well, I didn't till recently. And it had been a pleasant discovery. She is based in London who sings Jazz numbers that carries a little of the Eastern music. An amazing fusion when sung in her voice is just extraordinary. Her voice, perhaps intentionally, has this hypnotic effect of luring the listener into the whole music experience. From listening to her album over the week I have narrowed my ultimate favourite to the following song. Apart from her voice, the music video and the lyrics are equally amazing.  Enjoy! :-) 

Maya, my web of creation

Whispers to me in my solitude

Maya, my music of elation

Takes me to the heights

Where I can soar

Hear my cry

Let me weep the tears of joy

Maya, my intoxication

Secret lullaby surrounds my soul

Maya, my sound and sensation

Take me to the heights where I can soar

- Maya - Susheela Raman -

Up,Up and away...to nowhere

Looking up the night sky is looking into infinity - distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless.
