Re: [arr] Translations of Jodha Akbar songs please
Maya, you got that spot on. TZP had some terrific lyrics and the manner it fit into the movie. Apart from that, I am surprised the songs did not have much of an impact on you. Without the meaning , one can enjoy the innocent, childish music of TZP. After a long time, an non ARR track moved me so much.

Re: [arr] Translations of Jodha Akbar songs please
I agree Gomzy, that there was a lot of innocence in the tracks but they were fairly simple compositions. Little or no layers to the music and I don't want to take anything away from SEL for that because that was probably what Aamir asked them for - simple innocent music. I think the simplicity of the tunes and the storyline along with the lyrics apealed to ppl's emotions. In contrast to Rahman's music where the music does 90% of the soul stirring (it certainly does for me at least). If SEL used the same tunes in a different movie with a different story line etc, I don't think it would have made an impact. I don't want to make this a bash-Taare-Zameen-Par thread cos it's not a bad soundtrack at all but I was only trying to give my personal opinion on the difference between Rahman's music and everyone else's. The music talks for itself. He could reuse all his tunes in a completely different movie (and in a different context) and people will still fall in love with them just like they were hearing it for the first time. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gomzy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Maya, you got that spot on.

Re: [arr] Translations of Jodha Akbar songs please
Hello Maya, Well yeah . Pretty much agree with ya but again, as a hardcore Rahmaniac I am pleasantly surprised that Guru won over TZP. Swades lost to Main hoon na for Christ sake! Anyways, its so good that we get to listen to such tracks along with arr's. This year has been musically rich with Sawariya, Metro, Jab we met to name a few.
