It's a record for friendship and the lyrics are all about being friends hence Yaariyan. The record starts out with a piano and acoustic guitar with a very gospel country singing, tune wise it started out sounding more L.A. than Nashville formula and got ruined by the 'not so up to the mark' Hindi singing. It lurks between Bollywood 'feel good' soundtracks of the late Yash Chopra "shot outside India" movies thereby slowing building the instrumentation with an electric drum, some strings and a little more bass.
Not surprisingly the vocal pipe at the bridge "feel at home right here" hits really well and then ruined again by the Hindi croon, "Bhaia English singer walla please!" its then followed by the Hindi chorus and it ends, so the formula for Nashville don't really stick.
It's a record about friendship so whatever the lyrics try to touch or "convey", it clearly does, it's a song that is beautifully written and well produced in a way that it's not over produced although the vocals can be layered a little bit to hide the Hindi vocalist's pipes, it would work if he sings alone however the English vocals set the bar so high it missed point leading the record to sound a bit 'under cooked' but nonetheless is a well produced piece of work.
Although it won't sell anywhere apart from royalties from "fans" of the band, it would definitely serve the anthem of a medical college nostalgia for years to come or a new found jam for current students alike which, to come to think of it seems like the ultimate resonating vision of the band so "mission accomplished". I like it but I would not buy it on iTunes. I'd rather stream it for free on YouTube at times of nostalgia or "Oh I remember this song, wait Skip it!" after a few lines scenario.
