"MARK", Hare Krishna & R.I.P.

"Mark"
by Rahil Babooram

1. Dear Mark, i never really knew you, but now i know you well
when i saw your parents cry, my own tears also fell
your friends sang their song for you, so sweet and so true,
Dear Mark, how really could this happen to someone like you?

2. when i heard the news from Gerard from boxing day,
i had no idea what to do but just begin to pray
heard so much about you, only good things they all say
but i never got to hear you make your guitar play

Chorus - your struggle won't go in vain,
your memory won't go down the drain.
these buggers cause us all so much pain,
from our nation we have to clean this stain.

3. that day in the church, i could see it well,
you are very much loved, and anyone could tell.
no way your dad could make your mum's tears quell
man, definitely justice will be done, for this they will burn in hell

(repeat chorus)

4. one thing that made me smile when they spoke about your cut-short life
i heard that you danced with Hare Krishna, which is the key to end all this strife.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Keep doing what you're doing Rahil. I think its a great thing.


However your style doesnt suit my personal taste in music. It's really straight forward. I like music that isn't quite so direct. I thought perhaps some more work/depth(?) could have gone into the song, but i guess it fits into your style and also taking into consideration the amount of time you had to write the song, it's pretty.. uhh... for lack of a better word... "Rahil". But keep it up man!

The recording quality is quite good for a home recording, especially the acoustic version...I prefer it more than the rockened one. The lyrics are meaningful but I agree with Scott, it's a bit too straightfoward for my liking.

hehehe...it's oh-so-rahilesque!

didn't go to the show, but i actually found a radio to listen to it on total local and like almost everyone else i laughed at the "when i heard the news from gerard on boxing day" thing...rahil you is one big orange clown! anywhoozles...keep doing what you're doing dude...it's all hare hare krishna rama rama ding dong goodness!

it's easy to be fuelled by hate.

that is the problem with our nation.

do not let Mark's death be a retransmission of that archive.

promote love, acceptance and peace.

that doesn't mean you have to lie down and take shit
or bullets or stabwounds

it means that your strenght must lie in your belief that
there is a better way to live.

stand up for your right to live and to prosper
but stand up for Humanity and what that word
is supposed to mean.

So honour his memory in the right way
In dismantling the foundation of his demise.
Get rid of hate. Get rid of violence in words.
Gather strenght in righteousness, however it must manifest for you.

Honour his memory by standing for love and forgiveness.
Let the evil bury itself.

thanx man
