"Bring Back Paradise" by Rukshan Perera
A song to support the struggle and to BRING BACK PARADISE. Sri Lanka is facing an economic and a political crisis that the country has not seen in the past. Life has become a daily struggle for most Sri Lankans as the price of many basic food items have skyrocketed due to limited supply and many families are struggling to feed their children. Power outages up to 13 hours a day, and long lines to purchase petrol, diesel and gas have made it worse, and there’s absolutely no end in sight. Several political leaders have contributed to this problem, and today’s young adults are demanding a complete change and a new breed of politicians to run the country. Let us all work together to BRING BACK PARADISE.

Good job
I really enjoyed your programme and thank you for recalling all the golden memories.
After 4 years and counting ❤
Fantastic
Wowwwwww
It's really nice
those songs are so nice with piano, very much like originals. ...today many newcomers try to imitate Clarence without piano or organ and more instruments used originally.. no one can come close to Clarence but try and practice many times as much to entertain the old version.. don't kill Clarence name ...
one of the Best ones to watch. No doubt!!!!!🥰
👍❤
❤
Absolutely Briliant. Congrats all the way.
👌 harmony with jazz blended raggae 🎶
OMG... how did I miss this. I used to teach in schools, and I fell in love with them and ended buying a school. Love this so so so much.
@renukasamath2955 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. Those who know Bohemian Rhapsody enjoy this the best.
You should have born here in the USA. You are too good for SL.
@renukasamath2955 Wow, thank you Renuka for the complement
No one cares.... I can't fathom... Still if our SL government decide to decentralize power, our folks will go crazy, as Tamils get their own power. Hate is the reason we all suffer in many ways. I want you to write about that too Rukshan. You are the one who could talk about real problems through music.
Lovely song. Simply lovely.
What a nice program ....!!! Thank you so much.
Thank you
LOVE IT👍
Thank you
Wow Rukshan, how could it be that you played with SGC?? You honestly look like you’re in your 30’s! 👌🏽🤩
Haha, There are ways to hide your age, noh?
ABSOLUTELY BRILIANT.
Thank you Ernest
Perhaps you 2 should make a new album:)
I have done an English album
Wow very nice ❤

Good stuff Rukshan. When are you planning, Talking Piano 7!! Needless to say you are talented with abundance. BTW, the synchronization of Rata watte and Stand By me was exquisite. Desmond was unique as always. Wish you the best of the very best in your future endeavors and best of luck.
Masters , legends...no words to describe
Very nice song with well written and meaningful lyrics Rukshan uncle. Keep up the great work you are doing for Rotary and SL Music industry. Many happy returns of the day and I hope all your dreams come true!!!❤❤❤🎂🎂🎂🎁🎁🎁🎊🎊🎊🎵🎵🎵
@nuvinpooliyadde7319 Thank you Nuvin
Rukshan, I expected a jazz version of the song , vocal or instrumental . Dissapointed that u hv. hilighted the interludes allover than the song. Very hard to recognise the song. Aanyway good taalent.
Super song of international standard. Well done Rukshan
Thank you Laksiri. Glad you enjoyed!
ජාතික ආදරය හා ජාතික අභිමානය ඇති සංගීතඥයින් අතලොස්සක් පමණි. ජයවේවා.
Thank you Sarath for your comment.
Mr. Rukshan I think after you left the group in 1977 or 78 for your US life, Clarance was collapsed mentally, discouraged and given up the Super Golden Chimes life. For him your separation could have been like a lost of one finger from his right hand.
Sorry to hear this. Clarence was and will always be my hero. I learnt so much from him during my years with the Super Golden Chimes! What a genius. May his soul rest in peace!
Love you a lot Mr. Rukshan Perera.
Thank you so much. Love you all too.
What a humble person. No matter what, 'oba dutu e mul dine' is a song in my playlist even today.
Agreed. He is such a humble soul who gave everything he got for Sri Lankan music as well as Sri Lankan politics in his own fun way!
Absolutely brilliant. Congrats all the way.
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed!
Congrats all the way Rukshan for a truthful and Beautiful song
FANTASTIC,BRILLIANT Thank you so much. Congrats all the way.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
BRILLIANT. great.
FANTASTIC. Congrats all the way.Brilliant.
Both of you are too really nice and humble gentleman, much admire this commemoration program you did for Clarance.
Excellent job of you are doing Mr. Rukshan. I showed your talents in playing the piano to my 7 years old son. Actually while I was watching this show he approached me and joined with me. I replayed all songs you played here for him. I asked him to be an talented person one day like Mr. Rukshan Perera. I respect you very much.
Thank you. I am glad your son is interested in music. Wishing him all the very best in the field of music and everything else he does!
@@RukshanPereralk Thank you very much for the prompt reply Mr. Rukshan. I highly appreciate your nice sense of humour and blessings towards my son. You are such a real nice human. Later yesterday my eyes hit with this video in TH-cam which is the Clarance Live in Concert in California 1990. th-cam.com/video/eQEk3hR7mOA/w-d-xo.html You were playing the lead guitar there. I am pretty sure you can remember it. Actually I am a big fan of Mr. Clarence Wojewardene from my uni time. I sang 2 of his songs, ගමෙන් ලියුමක් ඇවිල්ලා and සුදු මැණිකේ with Marimba group at the 25th anniversary's exhibition of University of Moratuwa 1997. Actually I was tearing in last chorus as I remember Mr. Bandu S. Kannangara moved towards me and tapped my shoulders. By that time it was just 2 years being he left us. Anyway thank you very much again for sharing your memories about Clarance with us. And it is really nice to hear that you are doing social services in Sri Lanka. Please let me join with you in some contributions. And if possible make TH-cam programs on Clarence's composing work for other singers like Milton Mallawarachchi. I am listening to lots of Milton's songs produced by Mr. Clarance Wijewardene. Lyrics of those songs belong to K. D. K. Darmawardene which are very memorable kind. And I would like to highlight here the young kids group Winslow 6 which Clarance himself did an very significant job to introduce to Sri Lankan music. Since you have worked with Mr. Clarance closely by contributing your tallents you are the most eligible person to do such programms. Again thanks a lot for your nice thoughts and blessings for my son.
