It only took 10 years to release this track.
From me to you, this song is dripped in nostalgia, in fear, in PTSD, in patriotism. For those who left this country, for those who came back, but most importantly for those who could never leave. Though I speak of a city, the sentiment is shared quite universally.
My love letter to Karachi. Enjoy.
Footprints is the story of the inner struggles and demons we fight everyday in our lives. The constant battle in our brains we fight to be 'enough'. This piece journeys through the minds of the mentally unstable, the depressed souls, the ones with suicidal thoughts, and amidst all of that, finding the strength and hope to still stay positive. 'Footprints' is about the mark we leave on people, in the present and long after we're gone."
This piece is in loving memory of Emad Naqvi and Rowena Irani and my heart goes out to the parents and friends and families that have had to bear with this great loss.
On the finale night of a play he has self-financed, Alex questions if years spent pursuing a dream with little success and the fractured relationship with his immigrant father, have been worth the sacrifice. .
"As Creatives we go through a lot, the waiting, the rejections, the sacrifice - it all seems amplified when we have immigrant parents who gave up so much to allow us the freedom to dream in the first place. I hope Red Lantern can evoke and re-inspire those Creatives out there on the verge of giving up, remind them of that youthful fire for their dreams they may have lost over time, and motivate them to keep going because their Dreams are worth something. We also never know who we might be encouraging." - Sangeetha (Director) .
