![]() K (1996) [ larger cover art ] |
Tattva, acintya bheda bheda Tattva (4 times)
Like the flower and the scent of summer,
Like the sun and the shine,
Well the truth may come in strange disguises
Send the message to your mind.
Tattva, acintya bheda bheda Tattva (4 times)
At the moment that you wake from sleeping
And you know it's all a dream,
Well the truth may come in strange disguises
Never knowing what it means.
Tattva, acintya bheda bheda Tattva (4 times)
For you shall be tomorrow,
Like you have been today,
If this was never ending,
What more can you say?
| Krispian (Vancouver, BC) | Posted: Apr 11, 2013 - 19:44 The lead singer of this band has an awesome first name ;) |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Mar 04, 2013 - 20:46 Everybody in my church loves this song... |
| DJ_BellsEye | Posted: Feb 01, 2013 - 13:08 Haven't heard this song in YEARS! Brings back memories of seeing them live at Irving Plaza in like... '91. Disappointing show though. |
| superfido (Sweden) | Posted: Feb 01, 2013 - 12:55 A massive one hit wonder band.....but still, at least they did one good song. ![]() Oh, and how cool to look back at comments 10 years old. I love this station. Thanks Bill. |

| Poacher (Brighton, UK) | Posted: Oct 16, 2012 - 02:57 What a great reminder to revisit this cd. I don't think I have played it for well over a decade. 9 |
| Ag3nt0rang3 (Canada) | Posted: Oct 05, 2012 - 12:40 Urg, this is not so good following Tabla Beat Science, doesn't stand up well in comparison. |

| powellrb (Avondale, PA USA) | Posted: Jul 13, 2012 - 15:54 Appreciate the Hindi explanation. Always important to understand what the words mean, IMO. |

I always loved this song...now I can chant it myself! Thank you ...lol |

From wikipedia: The cover art (by comic-book artist Dave Gibbons) consists of various images related to the letter K, including: John F. Kennedy, Lord Kitchener, Karl Marx, Gene Kelly, Katharine Hepburn, Ken Dodd, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Danny Kaye, Kal-El (Superman), Boris Karloff (as Frankenstein), Krishna, King Kong, Martin Luther King, Jr., 2 Knights (a pair of Keys on one of them), a Kettle, Kali, the Kaiser, Nikita Khrushchev, Grace Kelly, the number 11 (symbolizing K) and Rudyard Kipling's book Kim. |
| ronniegirl (Middle of New Jersey) | Posted: Mar 29, 2012 - 17:40 Ginger Baker has been in my brain since the last time this played. Love it. Did he MAKE or ATE a taco? |

| Ag3nt0rang3 (Canada) | Posted: Mar 23, 2012 - 07:56 I like this song, but perhaps more because of the period in my life at which it came out, than because of any intrinsic qualities it has. |

Then you're going to hate me for suggesting Jimi Hendrix is singing "scuse me while I kiss this guy." |
| jberko (Franklin, TN) | Posted: Dec 04, 2011 - 13:17 This is a great, and largely overlooked band. |
