...bahut hui, samne aaja naa…. kahaan kahaan dhoonda tujhe.. thak gayi hai ab teri ma….
I was listening to this song and I can’t describe the sinking feeling that came over me while I absorbed the song.
For the benefit of those who don’t understand hindi, it is a mother singing to her son as though they are playing hide and seek. Only she is alive and he is dead. She searches for him, calling out that dusk is falling and her eyes are growing dim with age…
The son responds by describing this paradise he is in…and how he is perfectly happy there and the only thing he is missing is her… its a content response to her sad cry of despair…
Hats off to Prasoon Joshi… the lyrics give you goosebumps… and your eyes well up….
I usually can’t stand Lata Mangeshkar but her voice suits this song – the quiver – an aging mother seeking a son….
AR Rahman has outdone himself… both, with the composition as well his voice….
the tempo rises in the end (@5.00) and if you listen to it loud or with little earphones so that it is the only thing on your mind, your hair stands on end….
Beautiful, touching, creative.. I could go on. But you need to hear and appreciate it yourself. It grows on you. Go hear the song. It’s beautiful. The lyrics, the music, the voices, the emotion behind it. Everything.
