Originally called Nirvana, the band quickly changed its name to Kashmir due to the Seattle based grungeband of the same name, breaking through at the time. The name derived from the Led Zeppelin song Kashmir, since this was the only song all band members could agree upon, since their various musical tastes were diverse.
The band consists of the members:
Kasper Eistrup (vocals & guitar)
Mads Tunebjerg (bass)
Asger Techau (drums)
Henrik Lindstrand (keyboards & guitar).
Their earlier albums were musically in the vein of Primus and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but with their third full length album their style changed dramatically to be influenced by Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, a style often characterised by newcomers as in the same veins as Coldplay, however Kashmir has in Kasper Eistrup, an original text writer and singer, who can hardly be summarized as anything close to Chris Martin.
To this date, the band have released seven full length albums. Their latest, E.A.R. (2013). With the release of NBP, the band yet again changed direction musically to be inspired by artists such as Sonic Youth and other noise rockers.

It should be noted that there also was a Swiss band with the same name which was active between 1979 and 1982. Consisting of keyboarder Patrice Guenat and singer Henry Dubelly, they produced two albums that range between synthesizer pop and neo-progressive genres.

Another danish band in the 70s was also called Kashmir or more correctly "Jørgen Thomsen & Kashmir", but due to Spotify (Kashmir, Jørgen Thomsen tag) they will scrobble as Kashmir, despite being a backing band at least on the 1972 record they recorded:
Jørgen Thomsen was backed by prominent musicains in "Kashmir": Nils Tuxen (Savage Rose, Flemming Hansen (bass), Ken Gudman at drums and Carl Åge Isaksen on piano.

Kashmir - The Band (Urdu: کشمیر ـ دی بینڈ‎) is an alternative rock band from Karachi, Pakistan. It is the winning band of Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 2 in 2017. The band consist of Bilal Ali (vocalist), Vais Khan (lead guitarist), Usman Siddiqui (bass guitarist), Shane J. Anthoney (drummer), Zair Zaki (rhythm guitarist), and Ali Raza (keyboardist).

Kashmir Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rose, don't pull your needles out of me
close your yellow leaves around me
don't drink all the water from the ground
I've got inside my holded soul
don't you push the time shorter
let me grow old

Rose, stay in my garden just for a while

Rose, stay in my garden just for a while

Rose, don't you drop all your leaves
doze and feel the raindrops you receive
just drink all the water from the sky
you see above your crown of gold
don't you be a demon's daughter, let us grow old

Rose, stay in my garden, just for a while, stay in my garden
Rose, stay in my garden, just for a while, stay in my garden

Rose, stay in my garden, just for a while, stay in my garden
Rose, stay in my garden, just for a while, stay in my garden

Overall Meaning

"Rose" by Kashmir is a poignant song that speaks about longing for love and affection. The first verse implores the Rose not to harm the singer and to provide a shield and protection as it closes its yellow leaves around them. The singer acknowledges the hurt and damage they have held within their soul and hopes the Rose will allow them to grow old and heal. The second verse speaks to the Rose as a symbol of beauty, not to shed its leaves and to feel the raindrops as it accepts water from the sky, which the Rose sees above itself as a crown of gold. The singer hopes that the Rose will not be at the mercy of demons and allow them to grow old together. The chorus repeatedly pleads with the Rose to stay in the garden for a little while longer, expressing the need for the companionship and nurturing it provides.

The song evokes a sense of melancholy and desperation that is further emphasized by the music video's dark and muted tones. The Rose is often associated with love and beauty, and this song uses it as a metaphor for the need for human connection and solace. The song's slow melody and haunting vocals add a sense of yearning and longing that resonates with the listener.
