[sahanarajnarayanan]

as someone who is named sahana .... i have no words 🥺🥺 i love the lyrics and the influences of classical music 😭💫✨

[caylimreevaisaacs]

Leaves me breathless every time. This is love transcribed.

[delsmontgomery]

[Mellerrrs]

This song is absolutely beautiful especially the end with the children’s voices— makes me tear up

[Chotisikhushi]

This is so btfull and feels so wonderfull I am pregnanat and will be delivering in few days and since the first day had a thought tht if its a baby girl i will be keeping her name as SAHANA ❤

[swaapnikavangala]

the representation we needed growing up🥺💓

[stepheng]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard this year.

[thakurpatni]

Perfect mix of english and desi taal and soor, the antara and stops were perfect😍🌟🥳

[sahana]

Dear Sid, Thank you for the line "Dear Sahana"❤🥺🥺

[LandonTowers]

4:20-4:30 This portion left me speechless. The emotion you convey through your vocals is incredible, you just made a new fan!

[GlamourousGhoul]

[yogalekshumimarimuthu]

I dedicate this to my unborn babygirl Sahana ❤ Amma love you

[Byeia]

Glad that finally dear Sahana is out as i went back again and again to the tiny desk concert for it.

[tiemed.]

I find peace in your songs Mr. Sriram. There’s only one thing that can cure my loneliness and that is your songs. I probably am your greatest fan. You make me fEeeeellll🍃

[thedro]

I've been waiting for this so long. One of the most uniquely beautiful songs I've heard in so long. Amazing

[SreejiNelin-ngjh]

Sid sir....how do you sing so voice is very smooth in " dear has given you a gd voice but has given us gd listen ability...to listen to sidsriram songs over and over again..

[BbbK-nz]

Falling in love is a surreal feeling, isn’t it Sid? It’s crystal clear that you are in love right now and the girl who inspired you to write such lovely poetry, both in your album and your other compositions, is definitely no ordinary woman. I’m suspicious that Sahana is not her real name and I think there is something enigmatic about her. This angel who has entered your life (or who has stolen your heart) will continue to impact your life in a fruitful way. You will keep writing poetry as expressions of love to her and that way, we as fans can enjoy beautiful songs from your beautiful voice on an ongoing basis. I know it’s personal but I can’t help but ask after listening to these recent songs: who is Sahana, Sid?

[zahraabdulgaffar]

I love the representation, this song just puts me in a calming stare you have no idea. Thank you for putting this vulnerable form of poetry out into the world.

[brittanybecerra]

I live this so so much, it makes me cry but exactly an expression I can feel deeply. I love you.

[SakshatRedekar]

When I listen to certain tracks, it's like I've found a piece of my soul, and I can peacefully leave this world with a smile. These songs are unbelievably underrated, hidden treasures in the vast ocean of music. Discovering them takes patience, but it's a profoundly satisfying feeling. In a world consumed by trends, finding your own song is the ultimate personal victory♥️
