Aniruddh Dimri absolutely, i started listening to it thinking there will be a lot fast blues licks, but still I wasn't disappointed cos it was eminently soulful. Hats off Warren.
Whenever I feel low and want to just burst into tears. I listen to this and I feel like it's okay if nothing's on your side now but sooner you'll be flying.
@@IWantSomethingNew Karsh kale had said that he composed it in a car with him and it was raining.. and I also saw an interview of Warren where he had mentioned NZ. But I think it was composed over a period of time.. and both NZ and Mumbai Pune highway had a lot to do with it..
@@BlueBoysTune That could be true. It could also be that ua-cam.com/video/v11rpZgzOCk/v-deo.html this ^ version of Hallelujah by Karsh Kale (which also features bits from Ode to A Sunny Day) might've been composed on the Mumbai Pune highway. Either way, it's a lovely song. BTW, think you could link me to the interviews? I would like to read/watch them.
The part where the main riff kicks in feels like depressive clouds being sifted away and the sunny day actually coming in ever so gingerly . So many emotions without any lyrics. Warren indeed is a legend
I won't even get started about Warren, but the bassist here has my heart! Reminds me of Bryan Beller. Blackstratblues has unfailingly helped me pass through this ghastly pandemic. Lots of love.
After years of being a fan, last year, on my birthday in October, I had gone to see them perform live in Pune. 70-80 people in the crowd because it rained insane on that day and crowd turnout was low. Yet they performed with such great energy and it was the best birthday ever!
Ashish Agrawal I think he had an optical vibrato effect turned on till that point ( lush sounding liquidy effect ) and he turned that off which mades the guitar tone clear
u can't compare the rate of appreciation of warren with mainstream filmy songs.lots of indie artist in our country holds different popularity in indie field.even in west lots of artist with great talent r underrated in such genre cause in west also mainstream is pop,rap we know.so I think we should judge independent artist in respect of their field n we all know indie scene is growing rapidly.in a country like 1.3 billion ppl,very small support can also create big audience.if u think indian audience sucks then u should check stel andre from greece what a guitarist n what a underrated he is n he is from europe
Sitting around at the beach with my soulmate beside, gazing stars, listening to low soothing waves, playing this song in the background, ... At a point, both stares in the eyes and when the string bends exactly at 6:15, we kissed! ❤️ (And lost completely, nowhere, in the middle of somewhere) 🌌
I'm in Bangalore and its raining outside, but as i close my eyes i'm in a place like the Shire with the sun slowly enlightening the meadows and stream nearby... And the end when Jai brings his cymbals crashing those are my last sips of a nice beverage...
Lots of Love from #Pakistan Yar been listening to this since past 6 months and i tell you he's like Faraz Anwer of #Pakistan, never getting old. Whattay talent.
This is so beautiful. It starts with a nostalgic feeling like you are reminiscing your past. Leaves such sour after taste wanting more but satisfying in the sense that be happy it ever happened not sad because it ended.
Listening to this today feels me with a warm sadness and a smile. Blackstratblues was the last music show I went to. I missed a lot many things prioritizing work and thinking the world will move the same and I will see something soon. But a year into the pandemic, all I can do is remember that there were good times and hope for the same. Warren is a beautiful musician and I always make it a point to attend these guys' gigs whenever they are in town. Today, on a Monday, working from home and in solitary confinement away from friends and family, this song truly is an Ode to a Sunny Day.
There is something very deep inside this man's heart and soul. By playin' this music he expresses some part of it and it feels like a healing wave that's passing through our ears. Hats off Bruh. May angels lead you in.
I started listening to this band on soundcloud and I thought this some some british artist and when I searched this on youtube I was like WOAH. Indian do make miracles.
Was recommended by someone,of whom I wish the absolute very best. Now, as I sit listening to this at 4 in the morning, it feels though most things will be and are shitty, eventually, we'll pull through and the best is gonna come. Thank you you.
Apart from how brilliantly well this is written, can we all appreciate the mix on this. The perfect amounts of everything. Is it fair that one person can be so talented?
Fantastic drumming! Perfectly to the point and smooth AF. It's just sad to see no one mentioning the person who brought so many changes in the rhythm between the tracks.
You can only get this sound when the guitar becomes an extension of your soul
Aniruddh Dimri absolutely, i started listening to it thinking there will be a lot fast blues licks, but still I wasn't disappointed cos it was eminently soulful. Hats off Warren.
Yes!! Beautifully said.
Thanks for all the love for this song! The album version is now here, along with the rest of the album. ua-cam.com/video/M23pEgnP2Y8/v-deo.html
Thank you!
Hey, when will you do your next live show in India? I cannot wait!
@@priyanshjain6612 Me too, but I guess it’s gonna be a while....sigh
@@blackstratblues yes, everything has gone to shit here :(
Hey Warren!!! Pliz share us the guitar tab for this song!
can we all just take a few moments to appreciate adi mistry
can we all just take a few moments to appreciate everyone?
totally agree, a drummer who kept the mood and never went off the rails. His dynamics are crazy good!!
@@6string167 Adi is the bassist bruv.
Yesssir!
Whenever I feel low and want to just burst into tears. I listen to this and I feel like it's okay if nothing's on your side now but sooner you'll be flying.
what a BRILLIANT comment!
Coming back again after 6-7 years.. this song has helped me a lot.. I used to listen to this for hours..
Quintessential Blackstratblues!
If I were to be marooned on a deserted island, this'd definitely be a part of my Desert Island Disc.
I listen this every time a drive from Pune to Mumbai.
That is the exact Highway where this song was composed.. Inside a moving car on that Highway.. In the monsoon...
@@BlueBoysTune The description under the video says otherwise. Says that it was composed in NZ.
@@BlueBoysTune you sound about right!
@@IWantSomethingNew Karsh kale had said that he composed it in a car with him and it was raining.. and I also saw an interview of Warren where he had mentioned NZ.

I started listening to blackstrat blues bcoz the name reminded me of Gilmour's black Stratocaster... Well I wasn't disappointed..I found another gem..
I read the comment section and see only men of culture have seen, listen and felt this music.
Yes we can easily befriend anyone from this comment list. One common things is good music taste.
Absolutely brother.... Almost Everyone in the comments section is and are of the same breed I guess
Amen
The way the keys compliment his guitar tone is fantastic

The tone change at 3:07 is better than a sip of the finest scotch . Though both together are the best :)
I see you a man of culture
@Ashish Agrawal - Amen! I agree completely!
Lol I liked video right at that moment
Ashish Agrawal I think he had an optical vibrato effect turned on till that point ( lush sounding liquidy effect ) and he turned that off which mades the guitar tone clear
@Ashish Agrawal Cheers bro!
Man they need international recognition. Indian audience will never appreciate this masterpiece!
Yes, but we appreciate, which means a lot to the artist I think. Especially when they are enjoying what they are doing and being original.
True
Okay sure man. Whatever.
I disagree. I think there is a large Indian audience that does appreciate this kind of music.

All band members look so grounded in a good way...no egos shinin there, just pure team spirit
It's high time that people appreciate great music and sheer talent over bullshit. This is just plain awesomeness.....
Very True!

That's lovely, for sure.
You know it's a beautiful comment when warren shares this on his IG profile story ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
And then you woke up
@@thegreatskygig Whattt? He did? Damn! I missed it :(
I'm in Bangalore and its raining outside, but as i close my eyes i'm in a place like the Shire with the sun slowly enlightening the meadows and stream nearby... And the end when Jai brings his cymbals crashing those are my last sips of a nice beverage...
It feels so calming like floating in water and nothing to care.
Holy Crappppp... dammnn that snare drum sounds like heaven
7 years running and still sounds fresh 💙
Lots of Love from #Pakistan
Yar been listening to this since past 6 months and i tell you he's like Faraz Anwer of #Pakistan, never getting old.
Whattay talent.
You are here because you have a good taste in music !
Guitar tone plus every notes played by Warren touches your heart he comes under that rare breed of guitar players who matures everyday
Indian audience should promote this kind of masterpiece instead of too mainstream Bollywood music.
100% correct!
this reminds me my love ...... our times together .. lazing in the green grass together in the cool breeze beside the river
warren mendonsa, you are a genius!!!!!
Guys, please upload these tracks on spotify as well :') The solo is beautiful
Somehow Warren's guitar playing connects on a different level emotionally. Get goosebumps most of the times I hear this masterpiece. Thanks for this!
This is what you come up with when you blend your soul into the music.
Thank god this exists!🥰
Best 9:53 min of my life. Really touched my heart ...every single time!!!
I see you're the only girl in the comments. You got a Great music taste, keep it up!
A heaven sent song, soul played on a guitar❤
More people need to watch this!
This is so beautiful. It starts with a nostalgic feeling like you are reminiscing your past. Leaves such sour after taste wanting more but satisfying in the sense that be happy it ever happened not sad because it ended.
Those who like the peace would truly appreciate this one.
This for me is one of the greatest songs of all time.

I listen to this almost everyday
I got back to it after a long gap .
I wish i could just get lost in the music and think of nothing. "Not this loneliness......"
I'll be forever grateful to the person who made me listen to this (in 2018). This music is love, What a wonderful creation!
There is something very deep inside this man's heart and soul. By playin' this music he expresses some part of it and it feels like a healing wave that's passing through our ears. Hats off Bruh. May angels lead you in.
feel lucky to have discovered this music.
this drummer makes me feel very inspiration . superb.
Amazing masterpiece. Beautiful just beautiful.
Four amazing players. Each masters of their own instrument. What a band. Listening to you since many years now. Thank you for this..
I rarely get excited or touched by music nowadays. This got me back. ❤️
This tune makes me cry 😶
Ishant Sharma rocking on the bass 🤘
Go back to the cringe hole you come from
That guitar is singing.
It feels as if this song can heal all pain🌼🎸
How can people unlike such a good piece of music.... Its a treat to the ears ... 😌😌😌😌
The tone shift at 5:35 is so magical.
This is soooo beautiful. You guys are such geniuses. The riff at 5:35 makes me want to shed tears, it's that beautiful.
that's not a riff,it's called plugging.. but sure thing it's very emotive...
"Ode to a sunny day" thank you for introducing me to Blackstratblues!
Satya Iyer - Every time I take a listen to this track, I secretly thank you., Thanks a million for turning me on to Warren
The coolest guy for me is the basist...though im a lead guitarist.....he is so accurate...and has a bunch of notes to his disposal....love him
Each note touched my soul 😢
When sadness grips over you, Warren comes to your rescue with his guitar !!!
I recently discovered them. Gonna cherish them for life. The music is alive with soul...full of emotions.... :)
I came here searching him after listening to guitar on the song "Ghungroo".
Awesome 👌👏👏👌👌👌
Love & Respect to all members playing
Sounds like a Clapton, Knopfler ballad. Loved it 🥰🥰🥰
I started listening to this band on soundcloud and I thought this some some british artist and when I searched this on youtube I was like WOAH. Indian do make miracles.
jatin jaggi good music never had nationalities
This is my first time hearing this guy - what a treat. So tasteful, and jammin at the same time. Kinda a rare combination these days.
Recording quality is top notch. Our very own mark Knopfler/Gilmour!
Sitting on beach listening to this song and watching the sunset. What a perfect day it was.
Was recommended by someone,of whom I wish the absolute very best. Now, as I sit listening to this at 4 in the morning, it feels though most things will be and are shitty, eventually, we'll pull through and the best is gonna come. Thank you you.
9.53 mins of divine bliss.
And the God is Warren !!!
Such an emotional high.
Stay blessed...
Such a tight performance !! Awesome band ....
9.53 minutes of pure bliss.
Warren is supremely eloquent. Hats off Warren.
I love how warren weaves a story for almost all of their albums.
Saw them live last week.. can't seem to get this out of my head
Always coming back to this to feel what playing guitar should be like .. absolute soul touching music!
Apart from how brilliantly well this is written, can we all appreciate the mix on this. The perfect amounts of everything. Is it fair that one person can be so talented?
I Always get chills at the 6:16 melody change
i love warren's playing style hope i can learn music from him.
Gives you a surreal feel which you always craved for but never realized untill this.
Would it be an overstatement to say that Warren is our very own David Gilmour?
nischay rathore can't tell
At the moment yeah overstatement. But I sincerely hope he gets there sometime :)
Understatement if you were to take my opinion.
He sounds nothing like Gilmour. Clapton maybe.
He sounds like Warren❤
Fantastic drumming! Perfectly to the point and smooth AF. It's just sad to see no one mentioning the person who brought so many changes in the rhythm between the tracks.
Yep I am mainly a guitarist and I was so turned on by his drumming I was jelly I wasn't there playing to his solid smoking grooves. Just sublime.
I find myself returning to this song over and over again. There are other great songs by Blackstratblues but this is truly special!
This is sexier than a Sachin Tendulkar straight drive. And that's saying something!
Thanks you each and everyone of you!! god bless you!!!
Warren encapsulates so many feelings that I can only imagine putting in words. This music is such a gift for life.
One thing that stood out to me is this guy has amazing guitar tone. Keys...great too
Oh my god! Why didn't I come across all these music until now?
You can really feel the sun after a week of cloud & darkness at 6:15. This man hits the strings of my heart every time !!
The absolute best for a mellow night
I could listen to this all day 💜
I come here whenever I need to connect back to my soul! 😊
This is a instrumental that says a thousand words and the music speaks to your Soul
Warren+Jai Row Kavi= The Building Blocks of Blackstratblues.
It so connects emotionally..what a masterpiece!
I came here just for the guitar solo! hats off To the guitarist!
Amazing.... tone...Bass..
this song is so wow... it makes it easy for me to imagine how happy one would be to see sunshine after gloomy day or three :)
This is a pure bliss..just put your headphones on..close your eyes...n let d magic happen
This song keeps playing in my head all day !
Can't believe I've been keeping myself away from the Indian independent music scene for so long. Alas, I'm here.
Blackstratblues is pure love!
