You make me feel Like I belong I’m at home In your song You make me feel Safe and secure I won’t run Or hide anymore If dreams are what we make them In my dreams then I made you You make me feel Out of this world A little higher And I won’t return They say hope can never be conquered Well my hope is you love me too You make me feel Free to be myself You make me feel Free to be myself You make me feel Free to be myself You make me feel Free to be myself

New Game 04:16
I spoke to soon Instead of thinking it through Wasted blue moon Chance to explain Constant review Checking my memories past When you lived here too, last Think about it as I shout it from my window Collision set to Running straight To what I think I know Reading comments I can see That I was right all along Lift the weight I’m running straight to a New Game The rules change And you fade away I spoke to soon Whatever I thought was true Lies blinded fools, fast Where did we go wrong, love? Thinking about it and I realise I’m back here again A move is played A promise made I open up the door Now you’re here It is clear I was wrong all along You’re not the way I’m running straight to a New Game The rules change and you fade away

Lay Awake 04:49
On the train Of your life But remain Stuck in time What you leave Will survive Might regret What you find Precious babe You’ll be mine Sacrifice Distant Guise I lay Awake For you I lay Awake For you

Divine 03:51
Every step of the way I hear your voice it says Have no worry the music will never leave you Fall away into another day Light a candle let it show the space that you are in and what’s around you Drenched in grace Easy for you to say G, m, p, n, s, g, s, n, s, n, p, m, p, m, g, s, g, n Funny days the sun into the drain Find the berries in the darkest corners the sweetness fulfils you Gold encased image of your face Why you sitting idle when your idol walked a path that defines you Polished grain reflecting false disdain Shaman or charlatan it doesn’t matter if they believe you Searching for divine Searching for divine Leave the world behind Searching for divine Searching for divine Searching for divine

Huna Lai Jio 04:27
Tusi nahi jaante ke ki hovega You don’t know what will happen Eh jag meh vapas nahi avenga I may never return to this town again Mera sara saman la liya hai I have taken all my belongings with me Ab piche nahi dekhna hai And I am not going to look back Vekh ke Look out Huna lai jio Live for now Chalo zindagi ko saath milke jeete hai Come, moving forward through life together we will win Soch kar apne kadamb savdan rakhte hai Think about the steps you take and be alert Is musafir ko aaj meh jeena hai The life of a traveller is what I am living now Maujuda ko mehsoos karna hai To feel present within a greater awareness of existence Vekh Ke Look out Huna lai jio Live for now Huna lai jio Live for now Huna lai jio Live for now Huna lai jio Live for now Maujuda Here, present and ready Tusi nahi jaante ke ki hovega You don’t know what will happen Eh jag meh vapas nahi avenga I may never return to this town again Mera sara saman la liya hai I have taken all my belongings with me Ab piche nahi dekhna hai And I am not going to look back Vekh ke Look out Huna lai jio Live for now

I want to take your pain away I want to take your pain away Listen to the sound of the birds In the early morning Take me back to the ocean I want to take your pain away, away.

about

Out Friday 1 November, Maujuda was recorded in Vancouver at Afterlife Studios and Capsule Studios, with Erik P.H.Nielsen (City and Colour) on engineer duties, produced by Jane Aurora and Mary Ancheta (MaryJane HiFi), and mastered by Elisa Pangsaeng. Centred around finding one’s path in life, the 7 tracks explore different stories and perspectives in discovery and acceptance, opening with the first single and self love anthem ‘Free To Be Myself’. Touching on the complexities of migrating to a new place, ‘Lay Awake’ is told through the story of her grandmother ‘bebeji’, with commentary on ‘how migrants sometimes hold on to their culture so tightly that it can cause a rift between generations, not realising that back in their homeland it has progressed and modernised’ describes Parvyn. The material includes moments of introspection in the new single ‘New Game’, and ‘Divine’, woven between instrumental improvisation from Parvyn’s husband Josh Bennett on electric guitar, and lyrics in Urdu/Punjabi in ‘Huna Lai Jio’ as the track touches on the importance of community and finding your people, and ending the musical voyage at album closer ‘Back to the Ocean’.
