Umair Jaswal wrote Chal Raha Hoon in the throes of the heartbreak that followed a breakup; a heartbreak, “to the point where you don’t see the sun rising. It’s a very dark space when you feel like you will never get over this,” he now remembers. While the song was written during his university years, it is only now reaching his audience and represents a vulnerability that is increasingly becoming apparent in his music.
Written from a place of loneliness and helplessness, Chal Raha Hoon captures the grief of losing someone you love. With them gone, life continues to move forward, days passing into nights, nights into days, but it feels hollow and devoid of joy. “The sunlight, it burns me. The distances, I am counting them. But I am still walking onwards because life can’t stop. Life is always moving,” says Umair, summing up the essence of the song. He doesn’t agree with the old adage, “time heals everything,” – time doesn’t heal anything at all, he says, you merely get used to the pain so that it doesn’t seem unbearable anymore.

New Album in the Works:
“The album is self titled; it’s called Umair Jaswal,” the singer-songwriter shared in an exclusive interview with Instep. “It is basically about my musical journey so far, from Qayaas to performing as a solo artist. All these years, there was some music, which was very personal, very close to my heart, and every note was written by me. It has its dark moments, it’s joyful, it’s heavy; it’s a bit of everything for everyone. What has defined me and shaped me as a musician in the last 10 years, it is all of that. It has a combination of songs written back in the days and some written very recently.” Reflecting on his inspiration behind the album, the artist maintained that his inspiration was ‘to never give up’, no matter what. “I was unfortunate enough to start my musical career when the whole industry was crashing down,” he observed, adding that the bands he grew up listening to weren’t making music anymore. However, his inspiration was to make original music and he never gave up on it unlike a lot of musicians around who stopped making music." The album is being produced by Sarmad Ghafoor, those who’re an integral part of the song writing process include Jaswal’s band mates Ali Suhail, Zain Peerzada, Yusuf Ramay and Isa Najam. |
