AGNI: Kashmir

Title: Kashmir
Artist: AGNI
Album: Wind Dance With Fire
Genre: Rock
AGNI MEANING: One of the most important of the Vedic gods, the god of fire and the acceptor of sacrifices, a messenger from and to the other gods. He is ever-young, because the fire is re-lit every day, and also immortal.
Lyrics:
Maybe I was born to write down this song
Of lands known far and wide
And stories bygone
It's all about this place white mountains embrace
Cold winds moving by
Move down treetops with grace
Where the valleys out in green
they're crying out of the scene
bringing colours of true love
To the people beneath
Chorus
And when I think of all the times bygone
She's been just losing till the end of her life
Can you turn around -- Give peace a chance
Give me back this land of mine
I said wake up through the night
Wake up to the morning light
Wake up realise
It's taken down from Paradise
Kashmir
SECOND VOCALS (NARRATION)
Located on the edge or the top of this nation
Like a drop of sunlight or is it Nature's creation
Where the rivers run cold in rhythmic recitation
It's the land of the ice, peace and meditation
Then would come the time
In the middle of the night
Man did turn to fight for the wrong or right
He would blow it down the ground
Paint it with red and make the innocent man the victim of lead
And a scream would then be heard across a thousand miles
It's the scream of mother of one
She's screaming out now for her child
Chorus
And when I think.........
Kashmir

Bass: Juggie

Formed in 1985 by Pravin Bell, Bharath and Juggie, Agni has stood the test of time to become one of the most loved rock bands in the country. It grew up struggling with sub-standard instruments and disinterested recording labels, but always with the goal of carving an identity of their own. In 1992 Agni came out of its childhood with Rustom (Ross) Kayani and Kaustubh (Koko) Dhavale joining the band. And it translated all its restless energy and hunger for succour (very much a hall mark of Agni, the Firegod) into a creative force that could not be denied. And from Pune's best band they grew into one of the premier rock acts in India.
A record company, Virgo, took notice and their first album, Wind Dance With Fire, was released in 1993. In spite of poor production values on their first video, Darkening Light, their supporters were delighted with the air time on MTV and the album sold more than 60,000 copies all over the country. In fact, their appeal was such that 10,000 CDs were sold out within the first four days. The band toured all over the country, from the plushness of Delhi's Holiday Inn and the grimness of Tihar Jail to the rocky heights of the North East. The number, Kashmir, is chanted by crowds till this day whenever and wherever they take the stage.
All this was enough impetus for the band and they came up with the concept for their second album, Mrityunjaya - Victor Over Death. It was essentially Juggie's baby. But on the eve of going into the studios for recording, tragedy struck and what transpired in May 1995 is today rock folklore. The band, then on the pinnacle of its success, lost Juggie and manager, Mandy, in an automobile accident.
But the fire never died. It took the band three long and heart wrenching years of soul searching to get back on its feat. Vocalist Bharath could not cope with Juggie's death and was replaced with the prolific Uday Iyer. And the band rose from the ashes in a new avatar. Gone was the recklessness, the negative vibes, and the association with all that was dark and murky in rock 'n' roll. Agni returned in pristine white, pure in sound, Indian to the very core and burning brighter than ever before.

Legendary Indian rock band. I like everything about Agni. Still gives me goosebumps when I listen to their song. Sadly they are more popular in NE not many in the rest of India are aware about this gem band of India.

[@rickshawkapoor4003]

I wonder if my Naga , Khasi ,Garo and Jaintia boys from Synod college ,Shillong in 2007-2010 are still alive with whom I used to enjoy listening to this song in hostel. I miss them and this song brings back the memories of those days .

[@SurrieLou]

I'm among that batch... I'm still alive... And so does Kashmir...

[@sanjaysharma-yy7tv]

In the early 90's, Agni gave concert in Mumbai at Rock around the clock or Raspberry (don't remember), where they played numbers like Road house blues, Lithium (Nirvana) etc. Myself with four of my friends were head banging and thoroughly enjoying the rock show while other guys were just standing and watching. We were located so close to the band that I was even offered mic for a while to sing bit of Lithium. The vocalist sang "I killed you" and passed the mic to me and I sang "I am not gonna crack". i was only guy to demand Agni to play The Beatles (I was as loud as James Hetfield). Well they did not fulfill my demand nevertheless the lead vocalist gave me the audio cassette of their album 'Wind dance with fire'' I think it was token of appreciation for being a true rocker. Album stayed with me for quite sometime and I enjoyed it especially this track: Kashmir. Thank you Agni. I don't expect you guys to remember all this as it happened about 3 decades earlier.

[@dominiclhouvum8231]

Somebody needs to remake this song as a progressive metal genre. This song has so much more space for elements like double kicks on the drums, background keyboards, bass on overdrive , dual guitar djent riffs , synched dual guitar solos, microphone effects.
