MUSAFIR - The story behind the song

Well it’s not long since we started out as a band and astonished, surprised and euphoric are we for the response that our song ‘Musafir’ has been getting. Since so many people love the song, I thought I’d write you the story behind it.

Musafir happened a long time ago when RADIO wasn’t even a band. Most of our songs come from our real life experiences and Musafir was written when I was sitting in my college library studying for my Chartered Accountancy examinations.

But there are times in life when we are held down by things. We can’t do what we like, can’t be with people we like, can’t get hold of things we like, can’t go to places we like. The best thing to do at that point in time is to simply close your eyes and dive into imagination. Swim through your every want and desire. In your mind, you are second to no one. If you want money you pluck it out of a tree, if you want fame you grab it from the sky and love….well that doesn’t work with imagination now does it. You still search for it there. You create it; live with it….but it’s never close to you.

Musafir is a song about that place we go to; Where the world is yours, where life is colorful….and where you stand at the edge of happiness waiting for your loved one to come by and make you complete.

“Lagta hain sapno sa jahaan….main ek musafir hoon yahaan.”
