about

A timely musical reflection of the times we live in “On The Horizon'' captures the common human experience of feeling lost and unanchored, and the subsequent quest for guidance, inspiration, respite and hope.

The single is a true-fusion of East and West, starting in English and then swelling to a traditional bhajan in Hindi. It features diverse textures of instrumentation and vocal harmonies, including the multi-layering of piano and Middle-Eastern frame drums.

The song was engineered carefully and diligently by Niyi Adepoyibi in the studios of Radio 4eb in Brisbane. The single has already received acclaim, nominated as a Queensland Music Award Finalist in the World Music category for 2022.

Is there a sun on the horizon to guide me home?
Is there a beacon on the shore to keep me afloat?
At the mercy of dark seas
I'm drifing aimlessly
So show me the sun on the horizon
Guide my way home

I'm not alone
I know you're here with me
So that's why I call (I call for you)
To take the lead
And steady this wavering hand
The worst storm I'll withstand
I'll see the sun on the horizon
I'll find my way home

Naav Karo Mere Paar (Translation: Ferry my boat across)
Naav Karo Mere Paar
Naav Karo Mere Paar
Naav Karo Mere Paar
Gahari Nadiya Naav Puraani (Translation: The river is deep and my boat is old)
Garje Baadal Barse Paani (Translation: The clouds thunder and rain falls incessantly)
Naav Karo Mere Paar (Ferry my boat across)

Naav Karo Mere Paar
Naav Karo Mere Paar
Kaise Lagegi Yeh Paar?
Kaise Lagegi Yeh Paar? (Translation: How will I ferry this boat?)

So show me the sun on the horizon
Show me the sun on the horizon
Guide my way home
