Early Days – How the song came along

It was around 3:15 am on a thrusday, the PGP1’s (first yearites) of JBS(IIMC’s very own music band) were practicing for the ‘JBS nite’ that weekend. The usual tracks were done with and we were just fooling around when Tanmoy asked us to listen to the music that he had created. There was something in the tune that he rolled out that instantly caught our imagination and all of a sudden we found ourselves turn into lyricists as we kept coming up with rhyming words. Within exactly an hour we were through with the lyrics of the entire song! And by 4:15 am we started with the first jamming session for our very own track – Early days

Tanmoy,Hemant and John took to their guitars,Sood the drums,Sireesh,Teju and I got the vocals going and in no time we had a momentum going which filled us with great delight. Now all that was left was to make the audience sway to the music. We knew that we had something good on our hands but the verdict that we got from the crowd was overwhelming. Its never happened so far that we have sung this song and haven’t got a request for playing it ‘Once more’.We are more than happy to oblige :D.

The lyric has lots of B-School jargon like RG – relative grading, Tutes – tutorial sessions, Finacc – financial accounting (IIMC’s forte),BS - behavioural Sciences and STATS –(Statistics – the most dreaded 1st term paper). The lyrics that you hear in the video have been modified for the outside world as the original version has stuff too specific to IIMC. If you want to hear the original lyrics you can always attend JBS nite @ JOKALAND.

There is more to come and we hope that our following acts surpass the expectations.
