From last 9 months ‘Pani da Rang’ is on no. 1 in my most
played list. The category of melody songs changes from person to person. Many
people prefer different songs for different moods, like me. I have number of
playlists in my winamp which I play according to my mood. Generally I prefer
new songs because ARR, Shankar-Ahsaan-Loy and just new Amit trivedi are doing
really good. Sometimes I like listening Vishal Bharadwaj’s crunchy songs. But
only some of them are real melodies. Melodies are like Sunday brunch, where you
get everything; music, lyrics, soothing voice of a singer. If you are really in
search of melody then download Global gear by Punya Srinivas. I bet that you
won’t put down your headphones before listening it at least 10 times.
The real melodies are Hindi old songs. I used to feel bore
while listening them in my childhood. But my father used to play them in early
morning. What a wonderful start of a day it was! I was suggested to concentrate
on lyrics. I tried and fell in love with them forever. You will enjoy them more
if you sing them with your friends. My all-time favourite is ‘Ajeeb dastan hai
yeh’ by Lata Mangeshkar. I felt pleased when I heard ‘Meethi boliyan’ from Kai
Po Che. Our future generations won’t disappoint to play relatively old hindi
songs.
How can we forget Marathi composers and singers! They are
born to create melodies. But few are really following Bollywood music which is
not a good sign. The first melody comes to my mind that is ‘Jiv rangala’ from
Jogava followed by ‘Khel Mandala’ from Natarang. Marathi musicians are nothing
but magicians. Ajay, Atul are like cherry on the dessert. If I share my Marathi
songs’ playlist here you will run away. Marathi songs are the only way through
which I feel connected to my family, my state Maharashtra, my language Marathi
and our Marathi soil.
Here comes the largest pool of English melodies. I am very
choosy about English songs. I can’t bear each and every English song. Some
female singers really have god given marvellous voice. But they really don’t
care about lyrics, see Taylor Swift. Her compositions are really awesome except
lyrics. I like Enrique (though I am a boy), Katy Perry, Rihanna, Bryan and some
more are there whose names are difficult to remember. Sometimes I prefer ‘US
top 100’ list and it helps. I really liked this no lyrics music concept which
they put it in their movies. I salute Hans Zimmer for his lovely creations. You
just turn on Hans Zimmer melodies, put on head phones, close your eyes and
remember the good time.
