A.R. Rahman, Gulzar and Mani Ratnam team up again after GURU to create a musical brilliance in RAAVAN.
A.R. Rahman is not a rhythm maker, he is an experience. There is no escape from the hypnotic effect of his music. His music rises from one level to another defeating his previous music. It is relative to god of music competing with his own creations.
And then there is Gulzar, a poet of his own might and demands. Sometimes I think, only he could understand what was in his mind while penning down the verses but then the fact remains, the reverberations that he causes with the movement and pace of music is inevitable, animated and flushed with beauty and delicacy.
Last but not the least, Mani Ratnam, the gem of Indian Cinema proves how close he is to harmony again. If Roja was an appetizer; Dil Se, Bombay, Yuva and Guru were the high class main courses and now RAAVAN is the tastiest dessert anyone can feast upon.
Talking about the music album, RAAVAN consists of six stunning tracks.
Look for the line: "Janm na pooch, jaat na pooch,
Pooch jo pehchaan BEERA ka abhimaan hai,
Beera ke dus maathe Beera ke sau naam
Chere jo Beera ko…dhama dham dham…"
As stated before, RAAVAN proves the intensity of the great maestros. Not like the recent trends in music, RAAVAN has songs based completely according to the requirement so it gets unconventional sometimes.
A must listen for all the true music lovers.
I generally overlook my deep intentions to write about music because I feel that “MUSIC” has resemblance with something heavenly as it has the capacity to make or break your mood and it is hard to describe it in words but there is a little thought change that happened in my brain after listening to “a few” screams being recognized as music in today’s world.
SLIPKNOT is how they call themselves and SLIP + KNOT is how you can try to make out their intentions. Their screams are loud and piercing, sometimes resembling an ultrasonic sound which is beyond the audible frequency of human ears. They abuse you and they mask it in the deafening guitar strums and drum beats. Still they make people crazy because they make them believe that music is not only about feeling godly but also about feeling devilish. Humans were always blind followers of someone who stepped on a path different from the rest without recognizing whether the path is rational or insane. A group of creatures stand in front of them wearing some dirty masks on their faces and they turn up in a huge population just to hear some curses and abuses.
“CAN I HEAR SOME FUCKING NOISE, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS,” is what they say standing on the stage and the crowd enacts a pack and howls as if they are giving birth to some 666 incarnation right at the moment. I see that and I feel ashamed to be born as one of them.
God gave us birth to create beautiful things, nevertheless we are more than happy to feel like a MAGGOT and a BASTARD and a DOG.
KUDOS SPLIPKNOT and all the bands sharing qualities akin to them, you have proved that,
“JESUS EXISTED IN PAST BUT THE PAST IS ALWAYS A FUCKING PAST.”
Impulsive changes I supposed,
Were the weakening of the thoughts,
My face bore some scars,
With an abrupt chaotic heart.
There was a scream to call for my worth,
And a dream to be the world,
Met a few who laughed,
And even some who did care,
Walked the lane destined for me,
That ended up here.
It was a place alike,
Which did feature in my dreams,
But the blue image was unforeseen,
As it bore some scars I have never seen .
I am missing my cat. It is 3 days and I haven't seen her. My work takes me away from her but the days we are together are the ones I wait for the entire week. Where is she now? I don't know but hope she comes back soon. Need to hug her and kiss her.
I love you Taaraa.
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Only after the last river has been poisoned.
Only after the last fish has been caught.
Only then will you find that

Hope you know dear son,
Father loved u all,
Time didn’t allow,
Else had told this,
When you were small…..
Oh my darling little kid,
See the scars now,
These were born before you,
Working in the town….
Does my tummy resemble a belly?
This used to be small,
People called me a skeleton doll,
When I worked to feed you all…..
Baby now I lie here,
Eyes still open wide,
People feel I lasted my breath,
Though till I am undergoing an emotional tide.
Before you bury your dad,
Need to have a promise from all,
The death has given me innocence,
Which birth gave you all,
So promise me my son,
You will grow my memories TALL…
The papa died and the son cried…. That was it all…..
He never heard the dead soul’s mourn,
Remained unaware of his dad’s last call…….
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
