Shillong Chamber Choir releases tribute song

The internationally acclaimed Shillong Chamber Choir has announced the release of their new song, “You Came Into Our Lives,” in tribute to their late founder, mentor, and guiding light, Neil Nongkynrih, fondly remembered as Uncle Neil. The release marks what would have been his 55th birth anniversary. Neil Nongkynrih passed away on January 5, 2022, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and unite and his vision, values, and artistry remain at the heart of the Choir’s music and mission.
With “You Came Into Our Lives,” the Shillong Chamber Choir begins a new and profoundly personal chapter. Co-written by the late Neil Nongkynrih and his close friend Deelip Kumar Sahu, the song is a heartfelt reflection on the bonds of love, friendship, and the transformative power of music. It is more than just a tribute to Neil’s indelible impact but also a reminder of how music continues to heal and unite.
Through the song, Uncle Neil along with the Choir members expresses heartfelt gratitude to the friends and family who stood by them like a rock during their adverse moments of their journey.
“Uncle Neil gave us more than music, he gave us purpose, family and direction towards a meaningful life, especially as young people in the great sea of music and entertainment. ‘You Came Into Our Lives’ is not just a song; it is our way of saying thank you to the man who shaped us, and to all those who have been part of this incredible journey with us,” shared the Shillong Chamber Choir.
The accompanying music video, set to release later this month, beautifully captures the enduring presence of Uncle Neil. The video will feature glimpses of cherished moments, both past and present embodying the spirit of togetherness and resilience that has always defined the Shillong Chamber Choir.
“You Came Into Our Lives” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
