Hi Gomzy, Mahima and Vinayakam, let me give one parallel.
You must have noticed that the starting part of Hawa sun hawa has similar arrangement as in - Sunta hai Mera Khuda (Pukar) - Maan tujhe Salam (Vandemataram) That is drum beats on a soft, fluid, vibrating, background, wavy, sound sort of. Now, listen to Sunta hai Mera Khuda or Maan tujhe Salam, and you can make out in flat 2 seconds (or less) that it is ARR's. Nobody else could do it till now. But, that same characteristic signature sort of feeling is not so noticeable in Hawa sun hawa, i think. One has to strive to find that it is ARR's. Such a lovely song hawa sun hawa is. Still, I feel some songs by other MDs had been there not so far below. Of course, no match as such but somewhat that type. btw, it could be the common singers using similar span of their voices. That is why I thought that lack of a clearcut ARR signature is causing his songs to loose their high, unique level and sounding similar to other MD's work. -- V On 7/22/2008 11:21 PM India Time, _Gomzy_ wrote: > I can understand for Pappu, but Hawa sun hawa Rawat! > > 1) The way the flute has been used throughout. > 2) The piano bits here and there. > 3) ARR was given " Koun hai yada jo har pal aye, yada woh aye tho ake na > jaye" > But he smartly and heavenly uses the same line to be repeated by > Alka after Sonu finishes the same line. > 4) The second para he starts with a new tune " meri sadayein , tujho ko > bulaye "....ever seen any MD have diff tunes from 2 diff paras ? > very rare! > 5) the aja re aja re part, so lovely > 6) Usage of the tabla mixed with sizzles. > 7) And last but not least, the usage of the flute again, during the end > of the song! > > You have been hearing.
