Perhaps I'll learn a bit of hindi along the way and be able to say (in Hindi): "Yo, Girlfriend, How's things?" when we meet in person some day?Hey, I can teach you how to say that (as well as a few other Hindi things to get yourself into trouble). It's words like "pinhead" and "butt dots" that I have more difficulty translating.

Raags sung it right but when I placed it, Sonar "erased" the visual of the vocal track (I can't see where the audio starts or ends... it's just a straight line ). So let me know if you guys think the vocals sound "out of pocket" anywhere. I've listened too much and now I can't tell about anything. Quote:A wide variety of original and authentic-sounding TRADITIONAL & CONTEMPORARY INDIAN SONGS & INSTRUMENTALS are being sought by an established Music Library/Publisher that has worked with TAXI for years. They exclusively supply songs/tracks to numerous Cable TV shows -- mostly cooking and travel shows -- and need new material to meet their clients' needs. They want all styles related to the COUNTRY of INDIA and that region of Asia -- from Indian Classical to Indian Folk to Indian Pop (they're NOT seeking Native American Indian music). Indian lyrics are highly preferred, but English lyrics are fine. Male or female vocals are ok, and Instrumentals are also accepted. Great performances are essential. This company typically offers exclusive deals. Your songs must be Broadcast Quality (excellent sounding home recordings are OK). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics (and lyrical translations). All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than August 12, 2008.TAXI # S080812ISHey - very nice work, you two. Great harmony work, Raags. It has a cool vibe and has the world-Indian feel but also has a pop-electronica flavour. Hope you get the "F"!

It's not exactly Bollywood, and it doesn't really fit neatly into any genre, but we're hoping to find just the right home for this one, as Dave did such great cinematic work with the instrumentals and all... it was a real inspiration to sing to! Surely it will find itself a good home!!

Okay, my second opinion: A lot of people translate "O Re Piya" to be "Oh My Beloved" . Does that make you feel better Dave? TO RECAP:Oh My Darling Oh My Lover Oh My Beloved Oh My, How Confusing! Cheers,Allen
