Always liked that piece, so it was interesting to see it filmed during recording.

I heard this song years ago - probably 10 or 11 years ago. Yet I don't have the whole cd in my possession. And I forgot the song-title, but its vocals have come to me off and on. So I've searched for it, which is hard to do if you don't know the title.

The spoken part at the beginning is easy enough to understand: "Villages say they're already suffering side effects / The government, scientists say there was no radiation leak...." Then this very doleful singing. I've been to site after site - no one posts the lyrics of what he is singing - be it in Hindi, Urdu, or English, or whatever... Nevertheless, I am willing to bet it is a great lamentation - one which has haunted me.
