About

Siddhartha Khosla had this to say about “Evergreen Cassette” in an interview:

“In the ‘70s, it was incredibly expensive to make an international phone call between India and the United States. At that time, my parents could barely put food on the table. So my mom had to find some way to communicate...

Evergreen Cassette Lyrics

If I mistook
The sun for a mango
I'd fly up there and reach for it too
It's the story of something older
And bigger than me and you
And you told it
In a letter
In the form of an evergreen cassette
And I played it
In the morning
Till after the sun would set

See, mother I believe
That half of everything I hear is true
Between you and me
I believe the anecdotes too

In the veranda
In the midnight heat
Cousins and I would wait for the rain
Singing songs about America
And then the first drops came

So don't worry
Even though you were
Oceans and continents away
I heard evergreen hits, lullabies
And everything you had to say

See, mother I believe
That half of everything I hear is true
Between you and me
I believe the anecdotes too
If they get you through

If time, time could be bent with the drop of a tear
You'd see it rained in our house for a year
This is the sound of the beating you'd hear
All the tapes we've taped over all of our hopes and our fears
The open veranda's been flooding for years
I always hope that I'd see you here

But time, time can't be bent with the drop a tear
And though you say you missed out all of those years
Your voice on the tapes always kept us near

See, mother I believe
That half of everything I hear is true
Between you and me
I believe in everything you do
