Govind Vasantha | Keerthana Vaidyanathan • From “Hey Sinamika”
Madhan Karky addresses listeners through explicit metaphors: ‘Spread your wings’ accompanies ‘Open the prison’. The lyrics ‘Until you fall, life is incomplete’ frame risk as necessary for fulfillment. Keerthana Vaidyanathan vocalizes these directives with gentle insistence.
