The 69 year old New Zealander has recently however revealed a talent for songwriting and videography, and has teamed up with UK based New Zealand rock band, Silver Fern, on his song, &#8216;Y DNT U CM VST ME?????&#8217;.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Parun is a passionate social commentator, and with this track he explores the evolution of language, particularly that used for communicating via text.\u00a0&#8216;Y DNT U CM VST ME?????&#8217; is a direct response to the miscommunication that can sometimes happen when using this form of messaging, and with Silver Fern the song is interpreted as a raw rock anthem, with a pop twist. The vocals remind us of Roy Orbison, and it&#8217;s been teamed up with a lyric video written entirely in txt spk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Essentially Pop is proud to premiere this song &#8211;
