This song is about the legendary star crossed lovers, Sassi & Punnu. They live in separate villages on two sides of a mountain, i.e. the dungar. Sassi then sings to the dungar to ensure there are no obstacles in her path as she wants to cross over right away & is dying to meet her lover. Through this song, Clinton almost magically marries two very different styles of music, i.e. Sawan Khan and the Gospel Choir. In fact, Clinton uses a 31-piece choir to give this song a genuine Gospel vibe..

    Coke Studio At MTV Season 2, Episode 1 - Chaddh De by Clinton Cerejo

    An introspective song, Chaddh De flows like a river. The song is about letting go of desires. It talks about how futile it is to fret over desires or wants when your time on earth is limited. It's about the futility of trying to control life when everybody's place is preordained and nothing one does can ever change that.
    It was written by Lyricist Manoj during a low & depressive phase of his life. The lyrics literally mean 'oh fool let go' (of your desires). Clinton includes a remarkable string section in this song with the cello playing a prominent role.

    Mauje Naina is a dark song sung by a man who cheats on his wife. In this song he sings about his new lover and his feelings for her, all the while torn by those very feelings. He describes her irresistible aura and how she's playing with his heart & emotions. The female vocals however are very seductive and attempt to entice the man. This sensuality is evenly matched by the helplessness & doubt in the male vocals. The dhol section takes centre stage in this haunting track.

    Clinton takes the word 'Madari' literally & builds this playful track around the Madari himself. The song goes on to insinuate that the turn of destiny in a man's life also happens thanks to the Madari's all-knowing damru. With a strong percussive arrangement, this song talks about how no situation in life is in our control and we can only play along with the almighty, i.e. the Madari.

    This song is about man`s eternally wandering spirit & the spirit`s constant search for peace & happiness. It`s about man getting caught up in everyday travails and losing sight of the bigger picture; his larger calling his hidden potential. To do justice to these potent thoughts, Lyricist Manoj uses a verse by Amir Khusro as the alaap. Clinton takes these loaded lyrics and mixes them with a funky melody, embedding it in a pop/funk groove.

    This is a song about crossing to a different shore and how the Boatman is the guiding spirit who ferries people across the river. It talks about how the boatman is the only beacon of light amidst the swirling darkness of the river. And about how his presence gives migrants a sense of hope & calm.
    This is a recurring theme in Nitin's set because he was brought up in different countries and considers his parents to have migrated similarly; wherein they were taken across the river to start afresh in a new land.

    This is a reinterpretation of a harvest song sung by farmers in South India. This is based on a tradition wherein farmers present their first set of crops to the zamindars/landloards. So while it is a song of celebration sung at the end of a grueling harvest season rejoicing the bumper harvest, it has an underlay of sarcasm talking about how 'we grow the crops and the benefit goes to someone else'! La Pongal's Anthony teams up with Usha Uthup to perform a track that is mischievously highlighted by a Nadaswaram line rendering the perfect authentic touch.

    A long time ago, in Bengal and the regions around, there were two sects that existed. The Mahawats believed in celebrations through song & dance and idol-worship; and the Shariyats believed that prayer through song & dance was disrespectful. Shantanu was intrigued by this rift and decided to make this theme a part of his set. This song was suggested by Bonnie Chakravarthy's as Shantanu wanted to do something really traditional, about a side of Bengal that people had forgotten. Bonnie sings the song Baul-style which sets the perfect tone for its treatment & arrangement.
