On “Brown Girl”, Aaradhna addresses the issues we have in the world regarding discrimination towards others, and being happy in your own skin. Every day different walks of people are looked down upon, all because of their physical appearance. People still haven’t grasped the concept of ‘not judging a book by its cover’. This song encourages people to be true to themselves no matter what anyone else thinks or says, regardless of what race, skin colour or gender they are.
[Verse 1]
I'm more than the colour of my skin
I'm a girl that likes to sing
All I know is what's within
Not just a brown girl in the ring
Go to school and learn their ways
Told how to think and what to say
While my mother says to pray
I pray for better days
God please help them see
They ain't no different from me
Not above, not beneath
Teach them equality
[Chorus]
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
[Verse 2]
I'm more than what they think of me
More than the colour tones that they see
More than urban, R&B
More than the slang that I speak
Close your eyes, don't say a word
Don't speak about what you seen or heard
Let's pretend that it's okay
Just the way the devil likes to play
Look in my eyes, look in my eyes
I can't lie, I can't lie
All these years of my life
I'm judged from the outside
[Chorus]
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
[Verse 2]
I'm more than what they think of me
More than the colour tones that they see
More than urban, R&B
More than the slang that I speak
Close your eyes, don't say a word
Don't speak about what you seen or heard
Let's pretend that it's okay
Just the way the devil likes to play
Look in my eyes, look in my eyes
I can't lie, I can't lie
All these years of my life
I'm judged from the outside
[Chorus]
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
[Bridge]
And if you don't know by now (if you don't know by now)
Time will show you what
I'm talking 'bout
Said if you don't know by now (if you don't know by now)
Time will show you what
I'm talking 'bout
I'm talking 'bout
[Chorus]
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
I'm not just a brown girl
In the ring
I'm a girl
That likes to sing
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

“The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But, they don't know.
Girls at school think you’s a fool
But, they don't know.
I could be yours, but
They'll never know.
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know.”
#elvis#elvis presley#this aaradhna song popped into my head just looking at this…#looking fancy#hot and beautiful as hell-#and looking like he don’t mess around#when it comes to business.

Kia ora, and welcome to day 23 of Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa!
Today’s artist is another of my favourites, a staple of the NZ music scene for nearly two decades now. Aaradhna made her debut in 2004 as a featured vocal on a track by Adeaze. Her musical background was strongly informed by her ethnic background, having learned traditional Samoan songs with her mother and sung along with Bollywood songs with her father as a child. Her debut album I Love You entered into the NZ top 20 immediately, and every release since has followed the trend, with her most recent album Brown Girl reaching number 1. Brown Girl dealt among other subjects with the racism she has experienced in the NZ music scene, and later on in the same year she rejected an award at the VNZMAs for Best Urban/Hip-Hop artist, saying; "It feels like I've been placed in a category for brown people. We need a Soul/RnB category. And I feel like if you're putting a singer next to a hip-hop artist, that's not fair. I'm a singer, not a rapper. I'm not a hip-hop artist." She gave the award instead to upcoming hip hop group SWIDT, who she felt deserved the award, and the following year the VNZMAs implemented a Soul/R&B award.
You’ll like her if you like: Erykah Badu, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Solange

A Dance in Samsara - A Genshin Impact Playlist
A playlist for Genshin Impact, following characters and events for Chapter 3: Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana.
Notes from the game. Cover art is a game screenshot.
Listen at Spotify.
Even more playlists here.
Tracklist and notes below the cut.
Hustle and Bustle of Ormos - HOYO-MIX
Welcome To The Jungle - Aaradhna
Rana: As the two of you might have noticed, lately the forest has been... less than ideal? The Fungi and beasts have been growing aggressive, then there's the Withering...
I Am A Scientist - Guided By Voices
Tighnari: I studied botany in the Amurta Darshan. My academic adviser wanted me to join the faculty after graduation, but to be quite honest, I prefer a somewhat freer research environment. From my observations, the way that the Akademiya handles certain matters leaves much to be desired.
Speaking With Trees - Tori Amos
Collei: If you're keeping a secret that bothers you, you can try telling it all to a tree hollow. Do you know Tanger's stories? The Aranara living in the forest will patiently listen to every word children say.
Shy Little Frog - Sushisingz
Yaoyao: Hey, can you hear the frogs croaking? Hehe, silly frogs! They're singing along to the sound of the rain! Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!
Osfour - Watcha Clan
Asfand: I think most in Sumeru aren't interested in Lesser Lord Kusanali. Just take the Akademiya... They're the ones who truly rule Sumeru. Although they believe in gods, most of 'em only care for the late Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. In their eyes, she was the one who founded Sumeru and gifted us with the Akasha. Lesser Lord Kusanali just happened to inherit her legacy.
The Riddle - Nik Kershaw
Alhaitham: Book learning alone is not enough to cultivate intelligence. All those scholars at the Akademiya are prime examples.
Rich Girl - Gwen Stefani
Dori: I love Mora and Mora loves me! I make Mora and it makes me happy!
Lucky - AURORA
Dunyarzad: I was actually born with Eleazar. It's terminal now. Before I ran away from home this time... the world outside of my home didn't even know that I existed. To me, there is nothing more beautiful that being able to meet and speak with others. Not to mention the incredible time spent preparing for the festival, the joy on everyone's faces... and all the support I've received from friends like Dehya... This way, when my final day does arrive, it will be less sorrowful.
You Should See Me In A Crown - Corvyx
Azar: When we return, have the Scribe draft an ordinance before the next Jnagarbha Day that prohibits public art performances. We will announce it to the public later via the Akasha. The Sabzeruz Festival... Go celebrate the birth of that god to your heart's content.
Mad World - 2WEI/Tommee Profitt/Fleurie
Nahida: When I woke up... I was riding in a flower carriage. It was... it was my birthday. Happy birthday, Nahida.
Desert Rose - Sting/Cheb Mami
Nilou: Since we're in a dream, let's make this final Dance of Sabzeruz as beautiful as we can!
Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 - Pink Floyd
Nahida: The people of Sumeru City... What have you done to them?
Dottore: I simply made some minor adjustments to their Akasha Terminals. Hehe... My experiment is a success.
Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land - MARINA
Faruzan: A hundred years have passed, yet there hasn't been any change to those dumb rules at the Akademiya.
Queen of Kings - Alessandra
Candace: If anyone dares to start anything again while they are under this roof, I will not hesitate to send them out for some quality time with the creatures of the sandstorm.
Minds Without Fear - Imogen Heap/Vishal-Shekhar
Alhaitham: All the preparations are done. Now, can we finally conclude this meeting?
Lumine: Yeah. Tomorrow we are going to save a god.
Eye In The Sky - The Alan Parsons Project
Azar: If I'm correct, you have a contingency plan to save Lesser Lord Kusanali and ruin our great work. Sneak into the Akademiya on Jnagarbha Day using Alhaitham's status as the Scribe... Should your intentions be discovered, Alhaitham will "turn traitor" and sacrifice the Traveler, thus proving his innocence. He can then stay inside the Akademiya and continue searching for a way to proceed forward. As for Cyno... According to the Akasha's calculations, he will soon return to the Akademiya and confront me in person. I suppose this is also part of your plan?
Lion - Saint Mesa
Dehya: Tsk, you've spent all your time hiding away in the Akademiya. This place has long since become our hunting ground.
Wolves - Sam Tinnesz/Silverberg
Cyno: You once said that I had no standing to judge you. So now, how about judgment in the name of a god?
Unholy - Hollywood Undead
Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom: Come... Let us reenact a scene of the Archon War. Come and inaugurate my birth as a god.
The Crown Sleeps - Qais Essar/Mychael Danna/Jeff Danna
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata: So I took the purest branch of Irminsul as my incarnation in the next samsara, and left a trail of clues... All in hopes that you would come here and remove me and my pollution from Irminsul forever.
Blackbird - Sarah McLachlan
Nahida: Amazing, so this is how it feels to walk out of that cage with my own body. I understand now. To be a better archon, I first need to better myself.
Around The World - A Touch of Class
Kirara: You travel far and wide, and I deliver packages all across the world. That makes us similar, don't you think? But my travel expenses are covered, while you have to pay for everything out of pocket... Huh? N-No! I didn't mean to brag!
Map Of The World - Plain White T's
So little Mika thought to himself: If he could reach every corner of the world just like his parents, and record every detail of the terrain beneath his feet... That would be the most fun ever.
What I've Done - Linkin Park
Scaramouche: Fast reaction time. But I don't think we'll be seeing each other again... Those who died in Tatarasuna because of me deserve another chance at life.
Wanderer's Lullaby - Adriana Figueroa
Nahida: To be human is to live with imperfections. The past is set in stone, but you can keep moving on. And the longer your future lasts, the shorter your past will become, until one day it is but a tiny fraction of your life.
7 Seconds - Youssou N'Dour/Neneh Cherry
Dainsleif: So you remember me. Then we are already acquainted, Kaeya Alberich... descendant of the Abyss Order's founder.
Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden
Chlothar: Caribert did not deserve his fate, but now... He will be able to weave his own destiny anew. Born into abject sorrow, he shall now become "The Loom of Fate".
Cold Cold Cold - Cage The Elephant
Baizhu: A poison to one may be a boon to another. The mechanism behind this is easily understood by those well-versed in pharmacology. It's just that I can't ever tell my patients these kinds of details. If they were to find out that I gave them a poisonous substance as a prescription, it might scare them away for good.
You Deserve An Oscar - Matt Maltese
Kaveh: Alright, alright! I admit it! Maybe I do drown my sorrows a little more often than I was letting on. It all gets a bit too much sometimes, what with the unfinished projects, obstacles that I can't overcome, misunderstandings with other people... Don't you struggle with those kinds of things as well?
Rises The Moon - Liana Flores
Layla: Dear Mighty God of Wisdom, I've been studying late into the night for days on end, please let me pass this exam! Please, please... Zzz...
Haunted - ADONA
Nahida: According to the records I was able to access, your sibling suddenly appeared in Khaenri'ah. After the Khaenri'ah disaster, he began his journey through the seven nations of Teyvat. But just as his journey was about to reach its conclusion, the Irminsul records on him suddenly become fuzzy... All I know for sure is that somebody is deliberately obfuscating his fate. And if they can do that, who knows what else they're capable of.
Szerelem, Szerelem - Muzsikas/Marta Sebestyen
O stars high above the wasteland
O nightingales weary from the day
It's time to take off the crown of roses
Cleanse yourself with wine made from grapes
Sleep, close your eyes
Yon golden slumber summons thee, wandering sand
Drink not that bitter salt water
For the sorrows of tomorrow have gone away
