Touching Songs in Recent Times

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

We are talking about songs that have managed to touch our hearts in recent times. One song that comes to my mind is ‘Mere Haath Mein’ from the Yashraj’s film ‘Fanaa’. Movie was a hit and so was this song. A very beautiful composition, it is very romantic and it boasts of some unexplainable feelings.

 Kalyug from the Bhatt banners did cause ripples because of its music and story line. But one of the best hits of the movie, ‘Aadat’ is originally from the album ‘Jal’. The song leaves you exasperate with its melancholic and helpless feel. Song is extremely attractive and somehow pulls you towards it. You can’t help but fall in love with this song.

Taare Zameen Par earned lots of accolades for its novel theme and great acting. But one song that stayed with you even after you left the theatre is ‘Maa’. Just check its lyrics;

‘Bheed Mein Yun Na Chodo Mujhe

Ghar Laut Ke Bhi Aa Naa Paoon Maa

Bhej Na Itna Door Mujkko Tu

Yaad Bhi Tujhko Aa Naa Paoon Maa

Kya Itna Bura Hoon Main Maa

Kya Itna Bura Meri Maa’

 

How touching! Many viewers had tears in their eyes while listening to this song. This is simply a heart wrenching song that will leave you greatly affected. Talking about ‘Maa’, you must have listened to song ‘Mumma Meri Maa; from the movie Dasvidaniya. A very beautiful song, it had its moments. Kailash Kher has given his best in this song and that reflects in its effect on the listeners. Its lyrics;

‘Begdi kismat bhi sawanr jaayegi

Zindagi tarane khushi ke gayegi

Tere hote kiska dar

Tu duawon ka hai ghar’ were so well written and meaningful. Add to that, expressions given by lead actors on the screen and song becomes a must have in your collection.

Beautiful Songs

Music in any form is appealing to the human senses. And why only humans? Some experiments show even animals react positively to the melody of music. Now, that simply demonstrates universal power of music. Talking about Indian music, we have come across numerous soul-stirring songs since the time bollywood started to churn music. Playback music completely changed the way music was perceived in the country. Indians were always very fond of music but filmy songs gave music new dimension and new loyal fan base. Let’s talk about some of the soothing songs that not only touched you but also proved to be a hit among the masses.

Song ‘Kasam Ki Kasam’ belongs to movie ‘Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon’ from the Barjatya Banner. Movie was a dud but its songs sold like hot cakes. The song I am talking about is extremely gorgeous and manages to touch some hidden chords inside you. Lyrics are totally mesmerizing and song lovers really loved this song.

Movie Kisna failed to create any magic on big screen but it did give us a breathtaking song ‘Hum hain Iss pal Yahan’. This song is full of love and passion and you can’t remain untouched by it. The song, on one hand is utterly romantic and yet a thread of sadness runs through it. A R Rahman was truly wonderful in the composition and Udit Narayan and Madhushree did complete justice to the song.

Not for nothing we people love to call A R Rahman ‘Indian Mozart’. It’s hard to remember which one musician changed the film music industry as drastically as Rahman did. Though, he gained international recognition recently when he won ‘Oscar’ for Slumdog Millionaire but his talent was pretty evident since the time he made debut with unforgettable Roja. One song of his that consistently finds a mention in favorite list of numerous music lovers is ‘Tu Hi Re’ from the movie Bombay. It is just way too hard to resist the magic of this song. Probably this song might bring you tears and yet you can’t help but marvel at the eternal beauty of this song.
