BIO INFO >>

The core of my band is myself. I am Sunil Noronha. I am influenced by Bob Dylan (the dude), Mark Knopfler (my main man) and the likes of them. I write the songs and compose them (most of the time). I place emphasis on song writing and lyrics and music comes in then. Ibelieve that as a musician, as I'd like to call myself, the truth is what Ilive by and for. I stand by it,hence, by what I write.

Why this name?
Whats in a name?

Do you play live?
I play live whenever I can. I started off in churches.

How, do you think, does the Internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes music more accessable

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I am trying to desperately.

Band History:
Its basically me and who ever I can jam with (period). looking for band members (I have simplified that to accompanists to make that a little easier). I have found it difficult so far to get people who can stick around for long enough.

Your influences?
Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Billy Joel, Rolling Stones, etc.

Favorite spot?
Bangalore

Anything else...?
I am a singer/songwriter desperate to form a band and get things going. I am hoping to get a record deal soon. I love music and I dont see myself working for a living at a day job kind of a life.

 

LYRICS >>


The Music Talks
(Lyrics and music by Sunil Noronha)

Ballads of upliftment, ballads of pain
We sing then to ourselves and go through it all over again
Ballads of joy, Ballads of hope, Ballads of faith, Ballads stating claims
We wouldn't be so insecure about if they give us what we say they do
Ballads of confirmation, ballads of truth
about how much we can use a change in point of view because we can
only see through
Ballads of self-elevation, which keep us high above reality at where
the truth just isn't the same.

We can hold our ground as a statement of our faith
We can show that we won't budge, that we don't appreciate
the ways of the world but the truth wouldn't come about
if there was nothing to oppose and we only prove ourselves
contradictory to what we believe in
because our only victory should be soul achieving
but the only lost and broken souls
whom we will find will be those
who have their mind set on validation with reality
before it's anything to believe in.

Your actions speak heavily of what you mean.
You're words speak even louder.
A song can cut right through a heart, it can cut right through to a soul.
It can be what'll make it whole.
Your songs aren't doing me any good, I'm looking for something to
reciprocate my search for the truth and they aren't helping.
They only help me consolidate my stand in faith, they don't help me
fight against and win over the forces that make me need to.

Come on, get up from your slumber- the world needs to know
The truth without a blunder, so that on their way they may go.
Because they are looking for it and sometime, somewhere
They say to themselves that they have to find it before they move on.
They either find or look for their own way around it
Because the only way is right through it
So they settle for what works for them
And they'll most probably never know that
The truth was told to them all along
They would know if they would only
Look underneath the masquerade of
Love and pride and what it can generate
But reality, they won't appreciate only because
They're too blind too see.

The music talks, the truth it shouts out loud.
The music talks, it drowns the rest with its sound
The music talks, by your inhibitions if you abide
The music talks, it'll show what you're hiding inside.
