In the world of music, some songs entertain, some uplift—but a few, rare ones reach straight into your soul. Savera Mehta, known simply as Savera, has released one such song. His latest single, “Veer Mere”, is a heartbreaking and profoundly personal tribute to his late brother, who died by suicide when Savera was just 19. The track is more than just music; it’s a raw, vulnerable expression of grief, memory, and love—one that carries the weight of a personal tragedy shared with the world in the hope of healing.
A Brother Remembered
Savera opens up with honesty and pain in “Veer Mere,” revealing the story of his brother, a vibrant soul he describes as “a free spirit, full of life.” The sudden loss devastated his family, and for years, the grief remained buried—too painful to process, let alone put into words. In a recent interview, Savera revealed, “I tried to write about it before, but fear always stopped me.”
And so, for a long time, the song remained unwritten. But grief has a way of resurfacing, and when it did, Savera finally returned to the story he had long tried to tell. This time, though, he made a courageous decision: he wouldn't sing it himself.
Letting Someone Else Speak the Pain
“The real challenge,” Savera says, “was to realise that it’s best to have someone else sing the song. To see it from a different lens and perspective.” That someone else was Burrah, a Punjabi singer-songwriter and trusted collaborator, known for his evocative voice and emotional range. The two had previously worked together on the fan-favorite track “Dil Mera,” and that creative bond made Burrah the natural choice to give voice to this emotionally charged song.
By stepping aside and allowing Burrah to vocalize his story, Savera showed remarkable emotional intelligence. He understood that his own proximity to the grief might cloud the message. In Burrah’s voice, “Veer Mere” becomes a song of universal sorrow and connection, not just personal pain.
Writing as Catharsis
The process of writing “Veer Mere” became cathartic for both artists. The song doesn’t only mourn a lost brother—it grapples with the painful questions that often haunt those left behind: Could I have done something? Did I really know him? Why didn’t I see it coming?
Through poignant lyrics and gentle, haunting melodies, the song paints a picture of a young man full of life, and the emptiness left behind after he chose to end it. “It came as a shock to my family when we heard that he took his life,” Savera recalls. That shock, that unanswered question, echoes through every note of the track.
Yet, despite its heaviness, “Veer Mere” is not without light. It is a testament to love that survives death, to the memories that remain, and to the human capacity to find solace through art.
Creating Space for Shared Healing
Perhaps the most powerful element of “Veer Mere” is that it opens a space for others to grieve—not just for Savera’s brother, but for their own losses. Suicide remains a difficult subject in many communities, often shrouded in silence and stigma. This song brings it into the light, tenderly and truthfully.
Savera and Burrah’s collaboration allows listeners to sit with their own sorrow, to reflect, to cry, and maybe even to begin healing. In doing so, the song becomes more than a tribute—it becomes a mirror, reflecting the pain, the love, and the unanswered questions that so many carry in silence.
A Track That Transcends
As part of Savera’s upcoming debut independent EP, “Strongest Boy Alive,” “Veer Mere” stands out as the most vulnerable and personal track in the collection. It shows a side of the artist that is rarely seen in the music industry—a man unafraid to break open his heart in service of truth.
The EP promises to be a powerful journey through emotion, and if “Veer Mere” is any indication, it will offer stories that are painfully real yet beautifully crafted.
Final Thoughts
“Veer Mere” is not just a song—it’s a soul’s cry, a family’s heartbreak, and a brother’s eternal love. Through this single, Savera shows that even in the aftermath of devastating loss, there is space for connection, empathy, and healing.
For anyone who has lost someone they love—especially under tragic circumstances—this song offers comfort without pretense. It doesn't claim to have answers, but it does offer something just as rare: understanding.
In a world that often rushes past grief, Savera and Burrah have created a moment of pause. A moment to remember, to feel, and to heal.
