He has been a practicing Buddhist for over 10 years, eventually deciding on a life of making music rather than joining a Buddhist Order. The result is the beautiful, subtle and thought provoking songs contained on his debut album, Here. Padma's songs speak both of the mud and the sky - both the gutter and the stars. The album reaches in mood from the upbeat optimism of Funny and The Ballad Of G \u0026amp; Eva, to the heartfelt introspection of Half A Person and Throw My Drugs Away, Padma's lyrics are very personal, but through drawing on personal experiences and observations, he often makes a wider philosophical or political point. His gentle, lulling guitar technique is embellished with the subtle use of percussion, vintage effects and analog synthesizers, creating a timeless and other-worldly acoustic-based sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Padma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42766073364551,"sku":"46092564","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/padma-here-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
