ABOUT
In a country with a population of more than 1.3 billion,
everyone holds a dream in their eyes to fulfill.
With very little hope, they are entrapped in an eternal quest to provide food, shelter, and peace to their loved ones. In the event of this journey, they might leave their homeland behind yet, it never leaves them.
Sometimes, they crave for that one sight of their loved ones and the sweet aroma of the soil they grew up on. They continually yearn for what they had and live with it as their present demands to seek to either struggle or perish.
This song illustrates the story of something that people hold extremely dear to their hearts being "Zameen". It's a story of a person who loves his Zameen, who in spite of being caught up in the hustle and bustle of the city life is lost.
Lost in the memories of his homeland and his people whom he adores to death. This mightn't just be his story, but everyone else's too.

Why you should listen to "Zameen" ?
-
All the artists who worked on this project are performers as well as Music Producers. The song didn't require complex sound processing as we kept it quite organic and recorded every single instrument.
-
The entire song is about 4:30 mins long but it sounds like it's under 3 mins. (Poll results from 20 non-musicians )
-
Everyone felt nostalgic upon hearing the track and a lot of them cried after listening to the song for the first time in their own personal space.
-
All the musicians involved in this project are students of True School of Music.
-
Dhi, who's an Indie Pop Artist, for the first time ever has produced an Indie Rock single in spite of getting rejected by a few labels brushing it off as not his sound.
-
He also has a concept for Zameen’s music video, in which he's willing to depict the story of a northeastern boy’s journey that moves to the city leaving behind his village life but struggles the entire time.
-
He's planned to release the Music Video along with an acoustic version once he has funds.
