Ok now I think you have confused me and lot of us here. Do you mean to say Kehnaa hi kyaa, Tu hi re, Quissa and Bol Sajni could have replaced Dheeme Dheeme in 1947 with no change in orchestration. I guess if thats your point then I am sure you have missed the whole feel of Dheeme Dheeme. Let me explain. Dheeme dheeme song is deply entreched in melody and so is Kehna hi kyaa. You would see the minimal orchestration in it with emphasis being on the underlying melody and the singer. But kehna hi kya with its pure melody also has rich orchestration and the high point being Rahman's entry. Kehna hi kyaa has genius written all over it with respect to experimentation but the same can't be said of Dheeme dheeme. I am sure Rahman did it for 1 simple reason and thats exactly what we are debating. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 7/22/05 11:23 AM India Time, _karthik.s_ wrote: > > > Take for instance.."Dheemi Dheemi " song...I hope you have seen > > Earth...Its a slow paced song apt for that time and situation but the > > usage of instruments are modern...If anybody listens to it, with out > > knowing the films back ground, WILL NOT say that it is a modern > > song...They will be tempted to guess "it sounds modern okay...but > > there's some thing...there abstract..."
