Slices of Raja -2

All the expediency of a brass davara tumbler rolling down the rocky stairs of a mountaintop temple in the prelude. The glorious high-pitched intonation of Jency. The near whimsical harmonium and flute in the first interlude and the multiple violins conjoining to produce the sound of a one-stringer in the second. Adi Penne - My youth is on a golden swing. To see beauty in the idle moments of both nature and a woman is a gift. And to have them enhanced by Raja, is a gift I am unworthy of.

P.S: Is it just Shobha's presence, or is there a strong undercurrent of sadness and longing in this song?
