Kula Shaker were composed of Crispian Mills (Guitar/Lead Vocals), Alonza Bevan (Bass/Backing Vocals), Paul Winterhart (Drums) and Jay Darlington (Hammond Organ, Backing Vocals) between 1994 and 1999. When they regrouped in 2006, Jay Darlington was substituted with Henry 'Harry' Broadbent. Their sound is roughly based around the sounds of Brit-Pop and psychedelic rock with heavy influences of Indian music throughout. Their first album, 'K' was released in the UK in 1996 and became the fastest selling Debut since Definitely Maybe by Oasisselling 850,000 copies in the UK and a further 250,000 in the US. Their second album released in 1999 entitled 'Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts' however did not have the success of the first, selling only a fraction of copies that K managed to shift despite a slightly higher marketing budget.

Verse 1
Here I stand, head on shoulders, feet not on the ground
High above lotus flowers falling all around
Well what it is this, that I see? I've opened up the door
Now all those things I thought important mean nothing anymore
Chorus
Oh, a land that was forgotten
Oh, another life to live
Verse 2
I walked upon the Causal Ocean lying in my bed
I talked with Kings and Holy sages, many books I read
Well if it's just a taste of heaven that you're looking for
All those things you thought important mean nothing anymore
Chorus
Oh, a land that was forgotten
Oh, another life to live
