Narayan Sharma is a Bangalore-based violinist, singer-songwriter, and music producer. He frequently works as a producer alongside music director Charan Raj, bringing his sound and musical direction to a variety of projects. He’s also in-demand as a session artist, with his contributions appearing in well-known Kannada films such as Kantara Chapter 1, Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Side A & B, and Bheema.
Narayan Sharma has released a beautiful EP, “Uyyale Geethe.” “Uyyale Geethe” translates to “Songs on the Swing.” The tracks were composed on a swing nearly a hundred years old, still standing in the artist’s family home, and that swing acts as the emotional core of the whole record. Across every song, the music sways the way the swing does, moving between recollections of the past and a reaching toward what’s ahead.
EP opens with “Bhasaviagide.” The track starts with shimmery, glittering guitar work that sounds bright and textured, then, slowly, Narayan’s dreamy and emotive vocals come in and complete the atmosphere. The melodious aura is so powerful it genuinely feels like your heart is blooming. It’s honestly hard to believe that nylon/acoustic guitar riffs, bass, and vocal expression alone can create something this beautiful and moving. The emotion never dips. It’s present through every moment.

The EP’s themes feel consistent and deeply felt. “Bhasaviagide” is about longing, loneliness, and the lingering ache of lost love. The lyrics are poetic and imagery-rich with darkness, moonlight, dreams, and silence capturing the emotional weight of missing someone deeply. It’s a melancholic reflection on love and absence, but it also carries the quiet sense of emotional healing. The narrator feels haunted by memories, struggling with loneliness while still searching for inner peace. This song is bittersweet, intimate, and emotionally gripping.

“Uttara Kannada” brings more motion right away. Based on a poem by Jayanth Kaikini from “Kotitheertha,” the song picks up pace and introduces even more variations. The flute work adds a surreal, almost floating quality. Vocals feel more polished and clear, with far better definition, and the ebb and flow is genuinely something to experience in full. In the second half, the introduction of percussion makes it even more engaging, and the overall track stays charming. Climax deserves a huge applause!
My favorite on the EP has to be “Baanancha Daati.” It instantly earned a place in my favorites. The song has so much emotion, melody, and flavor—and the arrangement is masterful. Between the acoustic & nylon guitar, electric guitar, veena, violin, and cello, the instrumentation is rich enough that you’ll keep missing small details the first time and then noticing new ones on every listen. That’s the kind of track that makes you want to revisit it, over and over, just to appreciate each nuance.
The lyrics bring depth too. The themes are hope, renewal, and finding strength through love and nature. Using rain, clouds, rivers, and the sky as metaphors, it speaks about moving beyond the past while looking forward to a brighter tomorrow. It’s about letting love and nature heal emotional wounds, believing in new beginnings, and recognizing transformation as a cycle.
Finally, “Hinnudi” closes the EP on a deeply emotional note. The song is built around intense violin work, moving chorus moments, and a beautifully arranged soundscape. The flute is especially striking, and the beats deliver that folk energy that feels both powerful and elegant. The track moves through so many ebbs and low points, keeping you hooked from start to finish. It also has a strong classical touch throughout, and the climax feels unlike anything I’ve heard. It peaks fiercely, then drops into calming riff work, ending with a smooth, unforgettable landing.
