Ghibran’s rustic composition for the album ‘Kurangu Pedal’ features Gold Devaraj’s spirited vocals. Lyricist Bo. Manivannan crafts a joyful ode to childhood freedom. The track radiates uncontainable pride through earthy rhythms and village imagery.
Bo. Manivannan contrasts yesterday’s ‘monkey pedal’ struggles with today’s temple tower ambitions. Gold Devaraj delivers lines about cycles becoming chariots with infectious triumph. The boy forgets walking as his bicycle conquers dusty fields under scorching sun.
