Call - Shayad

To wrap up the international week today’s song comes from Pakistan, yes Pakistan, contrary to stereotypes Pakistan and more accurately the southern port city of Karachi and border city of Lahore has a very vibrant and booming Rock scene, in fact Rock and Pop musicians have been the biggest export to the neighboring India until the recent political impasse. Anyhow today’s song is by the band Call a rock band from Lahore, Pakistan.

The song I’m recommending is Shayad (Perhaps), it’s from their debut album, some people have accused this song of being a copy of the Linkin Park song Crawling which the band members vehemently denied and I sort of agree with them as in my opinion all Alt. Rock / Nu Metal songs have same arrangements and sounds but that is just my opinion you decide, here’s the song

For the curious hearted here are the lyrics of the song translated in English, I just used the Google translate, so I don’t know how accurate they are

Perhaps, This was written
There is no destination
There is no point in talking about the past
If you think about it, it means nothing, everything is void
Nothing has changed even today
I am still where I was yesterday
Perhaps, This was written in my destiny
There is no destination, but I’m still walking
There is no point in all these questions
Why even bother when everything is meant to be gone
I am still standing on the same crossroads
For which sin I am bearing the punishment
Perhaps, This was written in my destiny
There is no destination, but I’m still walking
Perhaps, This was written in my destiny
There is no destination, but I’m still walking
I am still standing on the same crossroads
For which sin I am bearing the punishment
Perhaps, This was written in my destiny
There is no destination, but I’m still walking

Call

Here they are live in a concert, the audio is a little bass heavy so please bear with it

Here’s an acoustic version of the same song

If you like to explore the Pakistani  Rock scene let me know I can recommend some very good band and some of my favorite songs, and here’s the Linkin Park song Crawling, let me know if you think this song was a copy

Enjoy!!!
