Euphoric!!!


They have songs for all happy occasions, and for all the sad ones too, I guess that's what makes Euphoria such a dynamic band. A band that stirs up so many emotions within you, something that a few of the best bands in the world have failed to do over the years. I was introduced to this band with their song Maeri, that actually got me hooked to the band. Some sort of an addiction to that song started and for almost 4 months I was hooked to the band and its albums. Songs from Dhoom and Phir Dhoom were hits amongst the college music circle... However lame they sounded, you would find me and a couple of others who would headbang to their version of Dhoom, standing right in the front of the stage...
However, those days are gone and then followed the days of listening to their music at home on the old cd player and the big fat computer...
Somehow, Palash's voice creates some magic, everytime I listen to the band, there's something different I feel.. I guess it is the magic of music. Its the same thing yuo feel when someone strums a guitar and sings to you... a song that touches you heart, a soft romantic number like Everything by Lifehouse or even Ab Na Ja by Euphoria... Something about the rains, soft tracks and a guitar... nothing in the world can be more romantic than this setting, hell not even a nice cosy car drive on empty roads...
The point however is that I interviewed the band today and it was fabulous. The fact that I was supposed to be interviewing them came as a shock, but then when I did get there and they called out to me with my name, it was weird. It seemed like all the fanish adoration vanished and a journalist who was there to do her job, get the interview and say tata took over...
Whatever it was, it felt great that I finally interviewed them.
Two bands that I always wanted to interview - Iron Maiden and Euphoria, I've interviewed both as of 2009, which is a positive thing!
I'm excited so yay!!!
