Sanskrit Proverb
Look to this day,
The very life of life,
In its brief course lies all
The realities and verities of existence,
The bliss of growth,
The splendor of action,
The glory of power.
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision.
But today well lived,
Makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness
And every tomorrow
A vision of hope.
Look well, therefore,
To this day.

Day Dreamer's Dreams]]> http://www.last.fm/user/ramasethu2001/journal/2007/05/27/8erv9_lbg_the_no_cover_band_from_chennai_rocking_on Sun, 27 May 2007 16:14:28 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ramasethu2001/journal/2007/05/27/8erv9_lbg_the_no_cover_band_from_chennai_rocking_on LBG releases its second offering 'Bad Children' this November 18th with a special launch performance at Distil, Taj Connemara. The 11 song full length album (short listed from over 25 songs) is a culmination of over 2 years of song writing, dedication and hard work.


The Album was recorded over a 3 month period with the band taking time to reflect over the material and making the appropriate adjustments to bring their vision of a quintessential Indian rock album to reality. The band believes, as it did when it released its first album in 2004 titled " This Animal is called the Wallet, that the songs reflect a certain state of mind as well aspirations, fears and hopes for the future.


Tempered with a fair amount aggression and well rounded instrumentation, the album sees its members pushing the envelope in terms of what is normally considered "an Indian rock album". It has also shot a video for "Basics of Life" that premiered at Distil.



"Bad Children" is a personification of the rebellious tone of the compilation and the band's journey & adventure on the 'road less traveled']]> http://www.last.fm/user/ramasethu2001/journal/2006/09/22/8erot_personal_and_company_profile_of_day_dreamer%21%21%21 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 10:53:54 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ramasethu2001/journal/2006/09/22/8erot_personal_and_company_profile_of_day_dreamer%21%21%21 PERSONAL & COMPANY PROFILE
