Sleep. Eludes me again tonight I tend to forget That the darkness of these thoughts are but a passing cloud On a clear blue Sky For you and I Deep Are the answers you seek to find I long to conjure All the words you'd like to hear To make you feel alright About the way things are But we're so close and so far. There'll always be those moments of our deep disillusion There'll always be those nagging bits of doubt. So weep Not for things meant to fad with time They come and they go And the colours that they paint you with Wont touch inside On your clear blue sky. Its time to fly. Clear blue skies are what we are, Just you and I.

If I Sang 02:35
If I were bold enough to sing you a song I'd like for you to listen to Would you Take the time to hear me through Would you Indulge me, would you Would you Share my views on things We need to do. Would you Want to change the world A bit, would you I wonder, Would you I would sing a song about clear blue skies And things considered childish and naiive. Sing a song about love conquers all And a world with no war singing Songs for happy children Laughing at how long we took. If I Sang for you this song, I ask, would you I wonder Would you Do.

Come And Go 04:01
They come and go Like an autumn sun The memories Of things gone wrong The thoughts exchanged The words she said Mistakes you wish You hadn't made Did you think that this would last forever Did you think that people stay the same. Did you think we'd walk away Without a single scar to show. They come and go Like migraine fits Like a monday morning Three times in a row A senseless joke A stupid pun You're forced to laugh at For someone else's fun. So did you think that this would last forever Did you think that people never change. Did you think we'd walk away without a single scar to show. It's hope That'll steal the sleep away From you at night. It's hope that'll keep you waiting Hanging on so tight. It's hope That won't let you let it go Let it go. Let it go, Can't let it go.

Feel like a fool it's nothing new. Feel like a fool it's nothing new Otherwise would've surprised The patterns I run inside. Feel like a spoilt and angry child. Feel like a spoilt and angry child Refused his favourite toy, Alone with his ignored cry. Release me from these chains I bind myself with. Release me from this cage I burn inside. Come carve this piece of stone Into that painting. The one I twist out of shape with my own hands. Wrong movie I'm inside. Wrong movie I'm inside These pictures aren't mine The patterns I run inside.

Someone 03:46
Pictures from a different world It's just fantasy they say Memories I'm allowed to keep And they're all here to stay. Where did the rest of this go Where did the rest of this go I wanna know. Would someone please come up with some answers Cos' they tell me love's for fools who've lost their way Would someone please do it right Would someone please do it right So we could all just smile again. Loveless on a lonely night As if we all could choose Well go figure You'd think there's so much left to lose. Where does all of this go Where does all of this lead to. I wanna know. (Repeat Chorus) All over again. Pictures from a different world, It's just fantasy they say. credits

Did you think that this was really over? Did you think that I'd just fade away... Fade away into another story you can store away. Won't let it go.
8.
When I try to say the things I feel inside I always fail To tell you what it is I want to. Every time I close my eyes it's just like time never existed You never left. Spending most of my time all alone is something that I'm used to But the choices that we made were different. You probably think that I'm the weaker one cos I insisted But I don't need your love, I want it. (And she said) You'll be the one I run to When the world around me seems to turn away. You were the one who asked to stay. Ever single time you came so close to speaking out your truth Your fears would get the better of you. I realise I'm not the easiest person to hold on to. But your eyes, They look so haunted. (Repeat Chorus)
9.
I'm still trying to figure out The things I keep doing wrong Searching for my answers. So easy and difficult To stumble, Trip and fall Bump my head against the wall. And I'm still trying to find my way Each night and every day Waiting for that moment. I'm hoping you'll hang around Long enough to hear this song Cos' all I'm trying to say. Is you're a reason I would put my pride at risk for all. You make me want to dive into this deep and scary ocean. And I'm still trying to do it right Fighting my bravest fight, One with no conclusions. No promises No guarantess No winner takes it all No Rules No warning signs. I feel like we're running out words Which can help us out Words can be so empty. I'm scared that we'll turn around, Walk away, before it's time And that just feels so wrong. Cos' you're a reason I would put my pride at risk for all You make me want to dive into this Deep and scary ocean. You're a reason I would stand here Naked and unarmed Defenceless with the single hope My faith will keep me standing. I'm falling, I'm falling, Falling. Falling.. Down.

Happy Song 04:24
I'm sick of sad songs I'm sick of the rain I wanna make these dark clouds go away. And I'm sick of crying Useless tears I wanna turn around and face my fears. I wanna reach higher I might need help. But I'll climb the highest mountain to come meet myself. I'm going higher, I'm getting strong. So this is my happy song. And I'm sick of lying, Playing games. Stupid senseless self-destruction With no-one left to blame. And all these excuses I seem to find To justify the breeding ground Of demons in my mind. I wanna reach higher I might need help. But I'll climb the highest mountain To come meet myself. I'm going higher I'm getting strong. So this is my happy song. Things are gonna change Things are gonna change tonight. Things are gonna change, Things are gonna change tonight. Cos' I'm sick of sad songs I'm sick of the rain. So I'm gonna make these dark clouds go away.

about

''When I heard the songs of the album BUeC for the first time, T.L. Mazumdar's music defied my expectations in a most positive way. The tune's carefully crafted sounds seemed to emerge from opposing polarities of electronic music as well as the Indian classical realm. Upon listening, it is in fact the lyricism in his voice that generates the necessary gravity which ultimately allows these worlds to co-exist harmoniously. The outcome is a beautiful collage of sound-scapes, trance like grooves and above all SPACE. His use of space allows the listener to dive into an intimate world, both delicate and powerful, contemplative and expressive. In a time where so much social and cutural pathology pushes into the foreground , where aggressive sounds demand attention and the stress of modern life seems ever present, BUeC transports the listener into a zone one step removed from it all, just enough to gain the necessary perspective.''

--Kai Eckhardt, Liner Notes for BUeC

T.L. on BUeC

BUeC is an attempt to bring worlds together. I grew up on three continents and four countries. On one level this album tries to illustrate the trials and tribulations of being a Third Culture Kid through autobiographical instances used to touch upon cultural issues like uprootedness, isolation, eastern and western philosophies/psychology and drastic differences in the way human relationships can be treated in various societies.

On another plain, it's a sincere effort to act as a bridge between the apparently different worlds Singer-Songwriters, Jazz musicians, Indian Classical musicians and Electronic musicians move within. Each song is a tribute to culture; musical or social where aesthetics, compositional symmetry and performance draw influences from planets that often tend to flow in orbits oblivious to each other.

This is an attempt for me not to get lost in translation with myself.

'Bideshi' (Bengali) = 'Foreign'
