Pleasure hunt!

Those were the days when ‘Mausam was always Deewana’ with songs like this. Every actor used to ensure that the music in his movie remained melodious. The meaning of music itself was melody in those days. This peppy number from the movie ‘Warrant’ was the favorite of many. Waiting for this song in ‘Chitrahaar’ was really  enjoyable. With the combination of so many natural instruments, the  prelude and the interludes sound amazing. Added to the beauty is Kishore Kumar’s effortless singing. Music composed by R.D.Burman and lyrics beautifully penned by Anand Bhakshi, this film was released in 1975.

Melody Time

When I first looked at you
I thought you were sitting like a ball on the wall
When I saw your moving hands
I enjoyed staring at you without knowing your significance
You were helpful to me in practising 123
and When I learnt multiples of five
I could know what is 'Time'
When I saw you running fast
I realised how important you are
I tried to get you slow
But you politely said 'NO'

'Time' is the most precious gift for anyone on this earth. 'Samay tu dheere dheere chal' is a song with heavily loaded lyrics by Bharat Vyas and Rajkavi Tulsi  from the film 'Karm' released in 1977. Composed by R.D. Burman and performed by Asha and Kishore, it remains the favourite till date.

Fantastic Indeed!

You remember or not, this song is verywell remembered by me. With simple yet stunning orchestration, this tune attraced many in those days. Jaidev is one of the composers whose usage of various instruments for composing  is unique. The 'guitars', 'violins' , 'drum's, and 'trumpet' in interludes is a feast to the ears.
Written by 'Gulzar' and performed smoothly by Runa laila. Get immeresed in organic music once again!
