We are all bound to the same set of emotions,\u00a0 those which we find around us, and also within ourselves eventually. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Familiarity <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is one of those things we search for, love, comfort, companionship, among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis music video was pieced together out of pure longing for the great outdoors, to feel the Sun and the surf, to breathe fresh air in the middle of nowhere and to put quite simply, to travel again.\u201d said a note under the video on Paraj\u2019s YouTube.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2750\" style=\"width: 6010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2750\" class=\"wp-image-2750 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC05268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"6000\" height=\"4000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC05268.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC05268-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC05268-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC05268-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ticketfairy.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC05268-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 6000px) 100vw, 6000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2750\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sharanstories\/\">Sharan Stories<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paraj debuted as a singer-songwriter only earlier this year with the single \u2018Continue,\u2019 which garnered positive responses from media and listeners alike. Paraj used to play guitar for Bangalore rock outfit <em>Rainburn<\/em> and is currently a part of <em>Flaw &amp; Order<\/em>. An advertising professional by day, Paraj has taken his time trying to figure out what he\u2019s wanted to do with life and discovered how passionate he was to make music over most everything else. He has been singing for only about 2-3 years since he started vocal coaching classes in Bangalore itself. He also discovered the power of songwriting when he sat down with his acoustic guitar, and music just flowed out of his conversation with the guitar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We look forward to hearing <em>Inara<\/em> when it\u2019s out, and we wish Paraj the very best in his musical endeavors.
