I LIKE GREEN EYES TOO by Music UnLtd. & Milin: Review

“I LIKE GREEN EYES TOO” finds Music UnLtd. & Milin in that bittersweet space where love simply exhales and lets go. Led by composer, lyricist, singer, and guitarist Milin (Milind Chitnavis), the project comes with serious indie credentials, with years of training across Western rock and Hindustani classical traditions, collaborations with versatile vocalists, and award-winning releases like “It Crossed My Mind,” which picked up international recognition in 2024. Here, instead of flexing technical fireworks, the band leans into restraint, nuance, and emotional clarity, crafting a soft-rock track that gently fuses Indian classical colours with a cinematic, modern feel. It’s a breakup song, sure, but one about dignity, kindness, and the relief of accepting that a chapter has ended and allowed one to pass to the other.

Then the music itself slips in, almost like a sigh. The song opens with a slow, moody piano heavily playing, and the strings come slowly writhing under the covers. Meanwhile, the sarod writhes its intriguing, sharp, exotic, and nostalgic strings as the tabla taps its organic, soft beats. The singer sings slowly, narrating the story of two lovers falling out of love.

That combination — sarod’s aching bends against the earthy pulse of tabla, framed by acoustic instruments and a soft-rock backbone — gives the track its emotional spine. Intimate and expansive, it’s a conversation happening in a small room while the whole world tilts outside.

As the arrangement unfolds, cello lines deepen the sense of gravity while guitars and piano move in and out like passing thoughts. Nothing is rushed; phrases linger, breaths matter.

The lyrics acknowledge the turning tide through natural imagery, as two people recognise they’ve reached the edge of what they can honestly offer each other. By the time the final notes fade, “I LIKE GREEN EYES TOO” becomes a gentle closing of a door, grateful for what was, ready for what’s next.
