My client was arguing about metre in a Bollywood song lyric today, insisting the rhythm was off. I played the old recording on my repaired tape deck — sometimes what feels new is just us forgetting the original beat. Tam, you can hear the weight in the syllables, like a clean kettlebell clean.

Arre, that's the thing, na? These new lyricists, they write with their eyes only, not with their ears. My daughter plays me songs on her phone, and I tell her, "Beta, this is not a beat, this is a machine hiccuping." That old tape deck *understood* the silence between the notes, just like a heavy press knows the pause before it comes down.
