My Top Five..


Shantanu has a blog entry with the same title wherein he lists his 5 favorite innings of Sachin Tendulkar. Believe me I'm in no position to do that. I don't even know the count of his centuries. Shantanu would probably like to hunt me down and kick my *** for this..

After reading his post I thought if not cricket, then what interests me?
I decided to make a similar list with music as I love it. I love to listen. I love to sing.

Here it goes..

Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan..
From the movie Mera Naam Joker

Compare my love to love of clown, who only wants you to laugh. But also look at the pain in his eyes, very well said Kush. I know someone would get very upset and would like to eat me alive for writing this but sholly can't help it.

Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera..
From the movie Swades

A very beautiful song oozing with patriotism. The Maestro’s soft voice with Shehnai and a single string in the background makes it awesome. Whenever I have doubts about ‘Swades’, I listen to it and they are put to rest.

Chhupana Bhi Nahi Aata..
From the movie Baazigar

What's more painful than failed love?
One-sided love. Listen to this song and you'll understand.

Dil To Bachcha Hai Ji..
From the movie Ishqiya

This song has an old-world and rustic feel to it which lingers in the senses long after the song has finished. It’s got a classic touch to it, nothing extraordinary and the simplicity takes over. I am in a different world altogether when listening to it.

Summer of ‘69
Bryan Adams
I prefer to call it Summer of ’09. It brings back all the memories of the days gone by every time I listen to it. “Those were the best days of my life”, punch line like this makes you feel nostalgic. This is best to be listened with a bunch of old pals.

Now come on people only 5 favorite songs that’s just sad..So bear with me..take another 5..

Yaaron
KK

I chose this song from the album Pal coz it’s a lovely song based on Friendship and the lyrics are very touching. The song says how much friendship is beautiful and precious in one’s life and life is nothing without friendship.

Lady in Red
Chris de Burgh

This song is about a man who falls in love all over again with his wife on a certain night in a club and needless to mention she’s wearing a red dress. A perfect love ballad for the First Dance with your lady.

Kuchh Is Tarah
Atif Aslam

A very affectionate song, it beautifully expresses your feelings and concern for the one you love also emphasizing how the pain of your loved ones cause more and Atif’s voice makes it totally soulful.

Aadat
Jal

This song has an universal appeal and reaffirms that music has no religion no nation no boundaries. The melody and lyrical content along with the acoustic guitar make it awesome.

Orange Sky
Alexi Murdoch

The singer expresses his dream of an orange sky with his brother and sister with him. The importance of family is emphasized upon by him. The punch line “In your love, my salvation lies” teaches me that how the capacity to connect to others is fundamental to our own existence.
