    Highjacking the top comment to say: for anyone that loves this song, listen to Long Road, the version by Eddie Vedder and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. It is one of my favourite songs of all time, and will remain so forever.

    I knew this guy extremely well growing up - great musician and good guy. Was always so kind and incredibly talented at everything he touched. It was honestly so silly how ridiculously talented he was at anything he tried his hand at.

    My understanding is that a few years ago he went all in on making music and it’s been going great for him! So cool to see him on here, haven’t talked to him in over 15 years - couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

    It is gorgeous enough to interest him.

    I always do wonder about artists lucky enough to have a song pass into legend though.

    I used to ruin songs all the time by playing them too much. But at least I can just stop.

    Ugh, the obligation to keep performing the same track decades on.

    Creep is about a misfit who's saying that he doesn't belong here. Her version conveys a meaning that we all belong here. The juxtaposition is beautiful! Raag - Bilawal.

    Beautiful singing from both of them, just lovely harmony between them.

    I would love to know a few things;

    1. What are estimates from experienced people, for how long would you have to train to get vocal range and skills developed like that?

    2. As a native English speaker, I would love to know what the mom is singing. If anyone can share the name of the song and the meaning of the lyrics, I would be grateful.

    So many Indian songs have a timeless feeling to them, just enchanting and mesmerizing to listen to.

    Thanks for the share, made my night. 🥰🌞👊🤗
