"Sawhney was born in Gurugram and spent a major part of his childhood aboard a commercial ship that sailed around the Mediterranean as his father was in the merchant navy.

When he lost his father as a young teenager, he moved back to live in Gurugram with his mother.

His musical roots had been established by then, as his early years were spent in a family that gave ear to both Western and Indian music.

His mother was an ardent bhajan singer while his father introduced him to Western music."

y'all

[Verse 1]
Suddenly
March the thirteenth, papa said goodbye
He left this world
And the world he loved is in Dubai
So, mom and I packed our bags
And led ourselves through a door
His body flying on the aeroplane that flies us home

[Pre-Chorus]
Can we kiss you?
Before the fire burns you to the bones
I remember
You made me who I might become

[Chorus]
Oh, papa, I know
You were fighting
To live your life your way
Wherever you are
I hope you're playing

[Verse 2]
My mother knеw
That she had a choice to leavе or make
Start living life
Or becoming the wasted face [?]
She didn't know how to sign a check
Or even tip
Her god is real, and it guides her through
Her life sublime so blind

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, she made it
And now she's the best, this kinda woman
And for all these years
I couldn't tell her how proud I've become

[Chorus]
Oh, mama, I know
You were fighting
I know you're not afraid
'Cause everything I am now
Worth the wait

[Verse 3]
I'm losing you from my mind
As I grow older too
Your memories are the only piece
The place I own, these songs I sing
Are the only way to make you listen

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I miss you
And everything we did and had to do
Can we hear you?
Or maybe see a sign that says hello?
[Chorus]
Oh, papa, I know
We were drowning
Now we're on our way

[Post-Chorus]
Through everything we lost
Your ship has sailed

Lowkey proud that PCRC is more famous outside India than India itself.

[tarushdas]

Made me feel everything I feel for my mom. She’s a single mother as well, she’s played a major part in who I am today. I love her a lot.

[supertrampfilms_]

Personal. Original. Beautiful. Never stop making music. You guys are a treasure.

[satyasaranpatra]

All the baddies are here before the premier

[jbournebond]

As beautiful as it gets! I've heard him reference his mother multiple times before (the album covers for Sinema and Climax; the section about buying a place for his ma in "Shit I'm Dreaming", and the whole of "Remain in Me" for parents in general), but never heard such a direct reference to his dad before. My parents are getting old and this left me teary-eyed. :')

[satyasaranpatra]

The more i listen, the more this grows on me

[hardikparmar]

His mother look's so proud of him!

[ishaandutta]

my friend ryan joe george from kochi is a huge fan, unfortunately he is currently in the hospital

wishing him a speedy recovery so he can tune in

[DubbleAmount]

[ashutoshmer]

It's time guys, it's time our band is becoming mainstream.

[hugonavarro]

[DEEPAKKUMAR-xrne]

[christossalikas]

You already were the best band in the world ever, for me... My papa left this world on June 20th and as we speak.. Me, mama and my brother, we are ready to fly away from the place we lost him.... I love you so much you guys 💙🙌🏻🇬🇷 Thanks for the soundtrack... God bless you 🕊️

I've heard this song countless times but never really focused on the lyrics. Today, I read the lyrics while listening to it, and *suddenly*, the emotions came rushing through my eyes

[zoish]

Suryakant's songs "Remain in Me" and "Suddenly" are intimately connected, reflecting the complexities of his childhood experiences through shared themes of nostalgia, family bonds, and personal growth. While "Remain in Me" evokes a sense of warmth and appreciation for the guidance and love of his parents during his formative years, "Suddenly" addresses the profound grief following his father's passing, capturing the emotional transition from cherished memories to navigating loss. Together, they highlight the resilience that emerges from adversity, with his mother’s transformation from uncertainty to strength serving as a powerful narrative of overcoming challenges. The contrasting tones—hopeful reflection in "Remain in Me" and poignant sorrow in "Suddenly"—create a nuanced exploration of familial ties, illustrating how the foundational love of his parents shaped his identity. Ultimately, these songs form a rich tapestry of Suryakant's childhood, resonating deeply with anyone who has experienced the duality of love and loss.

I'm here after the full release of your guy's album, and this song has slowly become my favorite. Every time I listen to it, I think of my own mom and dad, and get quite emotional. Thank you guys for releasing these magnificent pieces of art that remind me of the things in my life that are actually important, you guys are my favorite band of all time.
