Good that you mentioned that song. It is indeed a rare lovely song of current days that establishes that melody is still very much alive. I like it a lot. I am listening to that and finding one noticeable thing that though the song is having positive, happy lyrics, still the mood of the song is not reflecting that happiness. The song is quite contained and is rendered quite maturedly, somewhat "with indifference to the happiness" so much that if you don't pay attention to the exact words in lyrics, and go with just the feeling conveyed, you might end up thinking it to be a sad "separation type" song. I wonder why and how that effect was brought in that song. -- Rawat > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Chord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> This song has an old world type melody to it, almost like a > ghazal. >> And since you've heard ghazals before, maybe that's why you think > it's >> "old".
