Aman Mahajan, Radha Thomas 2012 Listen here Dark as the night What is that screaming? I hear a sound inside my head, Am I just dreaming? I’ve come undone Can’t find the pieces Until you put me back again The hurt never ceases Give me this chance, please to make this right I need you […]
Winter is Here
Ryo Kawasaki, Radha (Shottam) Thomas, 1979 Listen here Thoughts that freeze Flakes hang in the air Winter is here And with it’s ghosts Warmth so vague In a dream yet to come In the depths of thought Though it’s true Cold, becomes a part Of human change I cannot bear when the air, Raging wild […]
Trinkets and Things
Ryo Kawasaki and Radha (Shottam) Thomas, 1978 Listen here See pretty bangles shine Silver, green and blue And if you haven’t seen them shine in the sun And if you haven’t heard them tinkle, Bell-like, ringing Then you’ve missed all the fun Yeah, looking at one They shine in the sun Glow in the dark […]
First Signs of Ennui
Ryo Kawasaki / Radha (Shottam) Thomas, 1978 Listen here If I were a song today, I would fade out Or be out of tune Maybe I’d forget, my meaning, alter my purpose Why do I attempt meaningless poetry, when my thoughts are still, but my mind races on, on and on, on and on? My […]

I love living here
On stage, under the spotlight, with an audience in front and a band behind me, that’s where I like living most of all. I discovered this when I was a little kid and would sing for my mom’s friends. Today nothing has changed. That’s still my most favourite place to be. I think i live […]
Vocalese
Listen here. Earlier in the summer, I was in NYC and had two weeks of terrific fun planning and finally recording an album I’ve always wanted to do. Writing lyrics and writing books things I really enjoy doing… not quite as much as singing though if I’m to be honest. Anyhow, I’ve been working on […]
