Dedicated to... a song...and something much more than that...

i had to write a post dedicated to this special song which i've been in love with for quite some time now. In fact, i "owe" a post to this song and this delay has been mainly due to the fear of not being able to do justice to it. But then, i guess i'll not be able to do it anyway...so here it goes...

The song i am talking about is "Maine Dil se Kaha" from the movie - Rog. It is penned down by Neelesh Misra and Sayeed Quadri and the music is by M.M. Kareem. Yes, the same musician who has given Awarapan(Jism).The song is sung extremely beutifully by K.K. In fact, i doubt if any other voice could have fitted this song so well. Now, apart from all these facts, what exactly is so special you would ask. To make it crisp, i guess the most special element of this song is the touch of "honesty" and "purity" that it has. Am no pundit of music and do not understand the intricasies of it. But what i do understand is, this song touches the soul. You hear it over n over again, n still, that sacred element of purity is present everytime. 

It makes you laugh, makes you cry... But takes you closer to something pure. Something very subtle... It is very pleasant yet very disturbing at the same time. Listening to it, you feel like you better drop all your shields and just flow with it. And it is this element of honesty,purity which makes the song suitable for almost every ocassion. i burnt it when i thought the life cannot get worse and i also sat n listened to it in silence when one of my most cherished dreams came true... And both the times, it somehow managed to fit the ocassion perfectly. Now, the lyrics can be considered to be sad by some and the music as dull; but then the whole combo of that music,voice and lyrics is not sad...it is not dull...it is not euphoric either... it is just... just like talking to oneself...beyond the world we are facing and trying to grapple with, but not leaving it at the same time... 

i know i havent been able to do justice to what this song stands for, but then we knew it right from the start...did'nt we?
