Discovery of 2 Songs

Linked previously on my main blog, these two songs are now personal favourites. You gotta listen carefully to the words - they are beautiful. The two songs convey completely different messages - they are for different moods. But they both work wonders for the listener.

1. Closer by Travis. (unfortunately this does not allow embedding of the video)
2. New Shoes by Paolo Nutini
   

YouTube - Taj Mahal Anthem - Ek Mohabbat - A R Rahman's One Love

This was one of the first songs I listened to on my iPod Touch. Funnily not many people have heard it. Even A who is one of the most ardent fans of A R Rahman had not heard it. So for the common good, here goes:

Do Gaane Shahar Mein

Yeh nayan darey darey

I recently remembered the lines:
"Raat haseen
Ye chaand haseen
Tu sab se haseen mere dilbar

Aur tujh se haseen tera pyaar"

"Night is beauty
The moon is beauty
Most beautiful are you, my love

And even more beautiful is your love for me"

Then I also fell in love with the following lines while listening to the song:
"Kal ki kis ko khabar
Ek raat hoke nidar
Mujhe jeene do"

"Who knows about tomorrow?
Tonight, let me live
Without care or worry."

Koi gaata main so jaata

Another beauty - I have picked out a few lines below
"Aankhon mein bhar kar pyaar amar
Aashish hatheli mein bhar kar
Koi mera sir godi mein rakh
Sahlata
Mein so jaata

Koi gaata mein so jaata"

And all I need to fall asleep
Are eyes full of love
A hand that blesses
A lap to keep my head
And one's soothing touch.

And all I need to fall asleep
Is for someone to sing to me.

Santhal Dance in Agantuk

Found myself humming a tune since morning. Initially could not remember where I had heard it. Then I realized that it was the Santhal Dance in Agantuk (I saw the movie yesterday).

You can watch the dance in the video below. The tune's really catchy. Enjoy.

On the Look Out

I always maintained that watching English movie trailers is a fantastic way to pass your time. Regardless of whether the movie is good or not, trailers are always 100% entertainment. The Apple Trailers website is a cool place to get to see a lot of trailers. Here are a few which caught my eye when I visited the site for the first time yesterday.

The Last Mistress (Warning: Trailer contains adult content)


Vicky Cristina Barcelona
