On October 29th, 2024, the Indian singer Shweta Harve and the Italian musician Dario Cei presented their collaborative effort entitled “Why So Busy?”. From the perspective of Shweta Harve, it’s about more than just a song; it’s a critique of technology that merges the minute details of a song with poignant themes. The song opens with a synth piano, which is calming. Lyrically, she manages to convince the audience with warmth from the inside, with lovely moves.
The song has an upbeat tempo, which makes this piece active. Lyrically, this song has meaning. First, Shweta talks directly to her listeners, wishing them to reconsider their surroundings. What struck the artist in her observation was the sad story of a young woman in the commercial world who understands that being busy somehow equals success. The intertwining lines turn into each other so listeners can continue soaking in the lyrics, “Make sure you appreciate what you have and where you are”. In many words, it’s literally saying that time is never absolute. The composition is also stunning, and Harve’s vocals sound great against the background of Cee’s ambient style.
“Why So Busy?” is not only about what every text invokes in someone – it’s about what every text invokes in someone listening to it for the first time. This composition appeals to the diversity of its audience; the easy sentiment pushes the audience to explain everything in their minds. Harve and Cei act as costumes behind barriers depicting emotional distances made possible by technology. Two people will not often do such good work like this – writing a song that is “Why So Busy?”. It’s an affectionate, fascinating, well-made song with lovely lyrics. Overall, looking at the complete package, the constructive message and the timely lyrics are surprising, to say the least.
