Adrian Pradhan-just the name sends ripples into the heart of
Nepali rock music. But that is just it; he is more than just a singer but a
composer, a songwriter who has been oozing with passion ever since his musical
journey began from Kalimpong in India to the stages of Kathmandu, laced with
inspiration and determination. Having a distinct voice voicing Nepali culture
and the spirit of rock, Adrian has cut a niche for himself in the music
industry as one of the most celebrated artists in Nepal.
The song "Sambhodhan Timilai Gardai Chhu Ma" by
Adrien is emotional and soulful, which reflects his deep attachment to the
music and his art of bringing life to words with lyrics and melody. In this
blog, we dive deep into Adrian Pradhan's musical journey, the creation of this
song, and the impact it has had on fans around the world.
Adrian Pradhan's Musical Journey: From Kalimpong to Kathmandu
Adrian was born on August 18th in the beautiful town of
Kalimpong, India. He developed a liking for music during his early school days
at St. Augustine School, Kalimpong. It is here that his musical journey started
with a mouth organ and a keyboard, took him further to playing the guitar in
1989, and then the drums in 1995. It was his school choir that helped him
realize his musical talents; soon he started trying with different instruments,
which helped him build his love for music.
Birth of His First Band: Eurika
Forming "Eurika" gave Adrian his first real taste
of what it was like to be in a band. In class 10, Adrian played his first-ever
gig with Eurika at a fundraising concert for the Blind School in Kalimpong.
This laid the bedrock of his musical career to come and indeed gave him the
much-needed confidence to perform and express himself through music. Later, he
joined another band called "Flames," which toured all over India and
caught the interest of papers like the Indian Edition of Sun Magazine.
Moving to Kathmandu-A New Chapter Begins
It was the year 1994, and Adrian came to Kathmandu, Nepal,
for a fresh start in his life. He started teaching English and giving guitar
lessons at Little Angels School for three years and later went to Galaxy Public
School. Meanwhile, Adrian started developing his musical skills and building
some relationships in the Nepali music sector.
Adrian started as a piano player with the reputed Nepali
rock band 1974 AD in 1994. By 1998, he had become a full-time member of the
band-playing multiple roles as a vocalist, drummer, and harmonica player. It
was with 1974 AD that Adrian found his true musical family, and with it, he
formed one of the most well-acknowledged rock bands in Nepal.
"Sambhodhan Timilai Gardai Chhu Ma" - Song That Speaks to
the Soul
One of the most heart-touching and memorable songs by Adrian
is "Sambhodhan Timilai Gardai Chhu Ma." The song contains powerful
words with emotional lyrics, along with haunting melodies that cling on to the
mind long after the music has stopped. Let us break down the song to understand
its meaning and impact.
Lyrics and Chords
The lyrics of "Sambhodhan Timilai Gardai Chhu Ma"
feature Adrian speaking to his loved one right from the bottom of his heart.
The song is basically embodying a feeling of longing, nostalgic feelings, and
devotion-all through the lyrical way and how Adrian delivers every line with
raw emotion.
Here are the chords of the song:

This can also be very relatable to listeners due to the
simplicity of this song, musically and lyrically. The constant chord
progression of E, C#m, G#m, A allows the song to steadily advance and really
complements lyrical themes regarding love and commitment.
Emotions Behind the Song
Adrian wrote "Sambhodhan Timilai Gardai Chhu Ma"
to express the bonding between people, be it lovers, friends, or family. It
speaks of memories and the time we share with those dear ones. The line
"Chaadi gayou haamilai, Jeevan ko yo mod ma" reflects upon parting as
sadness but keeps the memory alive.
This song simply echoes those people who have loved and lost
because it says everything about how the memories of them will continue to
comfort us when our loved one is no longer with us. The instrumental parts,
mainly the guitar and harmonica, are extra emotional touches; sometimes, the
instruments sound as if they are talking to your heart.
Adrian's Impact on Nepali Music
Adrian Pradhan has, over the last three decades or so, been
a beacon in the Nepali music scene, gifting Nepali music lovers with some of
the most memorable songs. His voice and the sounds of 1974 AD are the
soundtrack to the lives of many Nepali listeners, both inside and outside
Nepal's geographical boundary, wherever they may be in the world.
The Rise and Fall of 1974 AD
Adrian took a break from 1974 AD in 2015 due to which fans
were disheartened. After three years, he joined the band again in 2019. On
talking about this period, Adrian says, "There are bound to be
misunderstandings and conflicts when you are together for so long. But the good
thing is all of us realize our mistakes and for the sake of our music and fans
we got back together."
This reunion was a moment of bliss among the fans of the
band and Nepali music in general, since the powerful voice of Adrian, along
with the energy of 1974 AD, had been missed so much. Music, through which rock
blends with traditional Nepali sounds, had given them an identity, and their
reunion started to bring hope and excitement back into the Nepali music scene.
Adrian's Solo Projects and Collaborations
Alongside 1974 AD, Adrian has been pursuing different solo
projects. His albums, "Aaja," "Ballad," "Janani,"
and "Saath," reveal the various ways Adrian approaches music. These
albums have spanned genres-from soulful ballads to upbeat rock songs-and
reflect Adrian's deep love for music.
Adrian and Frendz
Adrian also happens to be the lead vocalist for the band
Adrian and Frendz; he performs his solo songs along with other talented
musicians in this ensemble. Members of the band include:
Anuj Karki - Band Manager
Sudan Raj Bajracharya - Drummer
Sujit Sahi - Bassist
Aman Shahi - Guitarist
Together, Adrian and Frendz have been able to provide
beautiful music, which makes Adrian stand apart because of his signature style
and being able to relate well to his audience.
Adrian's Thoughts on Nepali Music Today
The internet and streaming sites like YouTube have made a
great difference in the Nepali music scene over the last few years. Adrian
reflects on those changes: "Now we can sing in a room. We don't need to
come to Kathmandu like we did in the past. Tribal Rain never came to Kathmandu.
Neither did Bipul Chettri. There is nothing stopping anyone from becoming
famous, provided one has the talent."
As he says, though the quality of recording and studio
technology has gotten better, the market remains so small that an artist can
hardly survive on just the sale of his music. Despite such challenges, Adrian
remains optimistic about the future of Nepali music and is grateful for
opportunities that have allowed him to perform in such diverse cities as New
York, Sydney, Dubai, and London.
Adrian Pradhan: The Future
The more Adrian grows as an artist, the more he feels like
writing songs in the future. "I had stopped writing due to my singing and
working with the instruments. It's high time I should start writing. There are
just so many new topics to explore," he says.
He does vocals, drums, guitar, and piano, as well as
learning about music production, when not performing. Adrian believes that his
vocal talent is something God gave him, yet feels the need to practice
constantly to see this gift get better.
On the personal front, Adrian is upbeat about his son
Prajwal Raj Pradhan beginning his musical journey. Adrian himself has a few
projects lined up: a new song as part of 1974 AD and one Hindi ghazal penned by
Anmol Gurung. "The artist says he is open to collaboration with other
artists and he wants to keep pushing the boundaries of his creativity.
