We, LJEI listened to Charmika Sirimanne song Iritala Wati & liked it. The music was kind of upbeat but sad or bitter sweet. He sings about a girl who falls in love with two men at the same time. The song is in Sinhala, one of the languages of Sri Lanka-the other two being, Tamil & English & there maybe a few other dialects.
[In the lyrics he sings of now this story is the story of our love & why havent you told your tale, that you were in love with the both of us at the same time
It touched a part of our mind because maybe even unknowingly we may have fallen in love with two or more guys at the same time. So came up with an idea based on imagery ideas(after she listened to it 15 times or so) are by TAJ who really liked the song.
--from the intro music, i thought this was a happy upbeat song, & even though i only understood some parts, when i heard second line & after, it made me cry, so Charmikas voice has the ability to transform the words to bring the meaning of the song even if we only understand little.I also had to ask for meanings of some words. Lyrics are very good. --
She was looking for a video for it and could not find anything online. So decided to highlight the beautiful song with imagery from LJEI because we promised the lyricist awhile ago to vihighlight song with a fan style vid & we like to keep promises when we can.

We at LJEI always love music in different languages. If the words are in a different language,
if u listen close u can distinguish words, get meaning (or gues at it by music, or what is conveyed thru the voice)
-I listened to a Malaysian/tamil song a month ago & it was so cool, loved it,reviewed it, etc, then went on to find out that it was an award winning song there...so it goes to show that somethings can transcend language barriers-

a comment from T @LJ
this is Charmika's beautiful song Duppath Asdekha(literal translation is poor eyes but it is in reference to the guy-who may be poor or like poor in sympathetic way someone to be pitied-i think), this is the first song that I heard of his after my mom who went to visit lanka in 2006 told me about his songs she had heard when she came back to Cali.I liked the sound of the music & his voice from the first that I heard the song. His voice is silkily magnifique & my ears were very happy :-) the video threw me off for a bit because i don't know what happend to the guys wallet.
I met the drummer in the video,(he is an actual drummer for the band that Charmika was in before he went solo), when he came to do a show in usa in late 2007. i was hosting/emceeing, & i kept looking at him cause he was familiar & i couldn't figure out where, then it clicked but was not sure, then i asked him at the after party & he told me he was the drummer in the vid & he knew the long haired brown hot chocolate man & I screamed---
