Circle Of Life by Bickram Ghosh

The Circle Of Life album has several strong tracks, but Circle Of Life is the one most listeners come back to first. Bickram Ghosh sets the tone from the very first bar — it is clear from the opening notes that this song means business.

Bickram Ghosh delivers the lyrics with a nuance that turns an already strong song into something genuinely moving. The chemistry of a talented ensemble cast is embedded in every moment of Circle Of Life, making it as much a performance as a song.

Released in 2021, it arrived at a time when Bengali music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. There is a quality to Circle Of Life that makes it feel like company — the kind of song you put on when words feel insufficient.

Running to 2:11, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. For anyone yet to hear Circle Of Life, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
