THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
There are similarities between species. Forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate, people are losing their jobs and homes, and even schools aren't safe places anymore. There is an underlying atmosphere of fear that is suppressing voices. This song is for those who are losing their homes -- whether they are made of bricks or trees.
Vinay Kaushal puts together a moody, powerful, jazz influenced quartet for 'Elephant In The Room' featuring singer Bombay based singer Aditi Ramesh, NewYork based jazz pianist Sharik Hasan (MNDFLO), Los Angele's based bassist Krishnan Swaminathan and Pune based drummer Varun Venkit.
Music Composition & Production - Vinay Kaushal

LYRICS
Walking down the corridor I feel those eyes on me
Caught in the crosshairs I feel those eyes
Do I fight or do I flee
When a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?
Will anyone know me
if I hit the ground?
When your home turns to darkness you look for the light
These stories you've heard before - do you flee or do you fight?
Fighting a misconception Battling for my life
Is it worth the fight
But I'm Caught in the crosshairs I feel those eyes
Do I fight or do I flee
When a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?
Will anyone know me
if I hit the ground?
When your home turns to darkness you look for the light
These stories you've heard before - do you flee or do you fight?
