I've grown up with retro Hindi tracks and as much as I enjoy English music today, the old melodies occupy a special place in some part of me.
The best thing about this music is its simplicity. From lyrics to tune to intonations, its all very pleasing, hassle free with zero complications; and so, it hits the gut directly without any brain filters!
Some of my favourite songs of all time include the following (specifically note the directness and simplicity of love/expression of love):
15. Bekarar karke hame yoon na jaayiye, aapko humari kasam laut aayiye...(pl don go...jus stay!)
14. Suhaani raat dhal chuki, na jaane tum kab aaoge...hawa bhi rukh badal chukiiiiiii, na jaane tum kab aaoge (doesnt it always seem like this? :P )
13. Dukhi mann mere, sunn mera kehna...jahaan nahi chaina, wahaan nahin rehna...(kinda difficult to implement though...)
12. Khoya khoya chaand, khula aasmaan...aankhon mey saari raat jayegi...tumko bhi kaise neend aayegi...( :) )
11. Saamne ye kaun aaya, dil mey hui hulchul, dekhke bas ek hi jhalak ho gaye hum paagal (havent come across a more honest depiction of a crush)
10. Aane wala pal, jaane wala hai, ho sake toh isme zindagi bitado, pal jo ye jaane wala hai (Love this movie as well; Golmaal....and its rich humour with zero slapstick and cheezy stuff...cant remember anything like this today)
9. Tum bin, jau kahaan, ke duniya mey aake, kuch na phir chaaha kabhi, tumko chaaha ke (How do I live without u? Simple, bare verse :))
8. Pal pal dil ke paas, tum rehti ho (I like the tune better than the lyrics...)
7. Roop tera mastana, pyaar mera deewana, bhool koi humse na ho jaaye (lol...candid confessions with some strong reasoning...esp when it continues with raat nasheeli mast sama hai, aaj nashe mey saara jahaan hai...)
6. Wo hai zara khafa khafa toh nain yoon churaye hai...(I love this one actually...the tune reminds me of Elvis' "Fever", but the fact that its a making-up-after-a-fight song kinda makes it super endearing)
5. Bade achche lagte hain, ye dharti, ye nadiyaan, ye raina...aur tum...(All's good when you're around...and in love...whatay simple thought)
4. Pyaar hua ikraar hua hai, pyaar se phir kyun darta hai dil....kehta hai dil rasta mushkil maloom nahi hai kahaan manzil...(it happens dono how dono where it would lead to...right?)
3. Tere mere sapne, ab ek rang hai...ho jahaan bhi le jaaye rahe, hum sangg hai (through thick and thin...especially through the thin...:) )
2. Pyaar maanga hai tumhi sey, na inkaar karo...paas baitho zara toh ikraar karo...(soooo simple "come, sit next to me"...awesome...:) )
1. Tum aa gaye ho, noor aa gaya hai...nahin toh charaagon se lau jaa rahi thi (my fav fav song...jeene ki tum se wajah mil gayi hai, badi bewajah zindagiiiii ja rahi thi...the reason for existance...)
Loved re-connecting with loads of these songs today...thank god for youtube :)
PS - Cant skip mentioning some other v v special songs...personal incidents associated here...:
a. Pukaarta chala hoon main (Can remember dad singing this when i was a kid :)...sang brilliantly :))
b. Hai apna dil, toh aawara, na jaane kis pe aayega (Very special song... the first song i sang on stage...second standard i think...a guy song by a girl...was funny :D )
c. Laaga chunri mey daag, chupaoon kaise (Granpa's favourite...ask me about this when you talk to me next :) )
d. Tujhse naaraz nahin zindagi hairan hoon main (Shekhar Kapur...Maasoom...think i cried when i heard this first...and yeah, with Masoom, I kinda found the special - Shekhar Kapur :P )
e. Rangeela Re, tere rang mey yoon ranga hai, mera mann (My dad's always hated this song i dono why and he hates MY singing this even more...so I like it...cheap thrills :D)
