'GREATEST LOVE STORY'

'Greatest Love Story' is a song from the album that is very close to my heart. I wrote it during the process of recording the album and it started off as a piano ballad and somehow found its way to the guitar during the production process. In terms of sound, we wanted it to be a throwback to recordings in the 70s, where everything was recorded live, with a very particular drum sound and a certain warmth that echoes the bittersweet sentiment of the song.

Here's the song & the lyrics
 

Greatest Love Story

Written by Gayathri 

It's been 8 hours since I told you 

I was leaving

You just lay there asleep like a rock

Like a rock

25 years felt like a sentence 

that ran on too long

You just lay there asleep

like a rock, like a rock

And all the warning bells are silent 

In 'red flag' city

All the grace has returned to me

No more self-pity 

Don't know if it's sad or sweet

You're still the greatest love story

of my life 

We stayed together for the kids 

And their dwindling sense of family

Then they left home and left us with no alibi

No alibi

Then a glorious wave of nostalgia hit

we thought we owed it to ourselves to give it 

another try, another try

Now nothing but the ruins of us remain

Mementos serve as reminders of the 

good ol' days

Don't know if it's sad or sweet

You're still the greatest love story

of my life 

And in a parallel universe

These war wounds would heal themselves

We'd pick up the pieces

And start over once more

This pain our hearts would re-endure

Don't know if it's sad or sweet

You're still the greatest love story

of my life
