Kaho Ek Din.....Tu Jo Nahi...Aap ki Yaad....Tera Mera Pyaar...

 Sharing few songs, I adore so much of the famous Pakistani singer Ahmad Jehanzeb..



1.  Ahmad Jehanzeb - Tu Jo Nahi - ( HD )

( the music and sound which appears like a flight announcement of a fighter jet in the beginning of the video and also towards the end just adds to its appeal so much, giving it a trance like effect)


2. Aap Ki Yaad

(the lyrics of the song are so deeply poetic:

"Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar, raat bhar

Chashm-e-nam muskurati rahi raat bhar

Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar, raat bhar


Koi deewana galiyon mein phirta raha

Koi aawaz aati rahi raat bhar, raat bhar

Aawaz aati rahi raat bhar, raat bhar


Chashm-e-nam muskurati rahi raat bhar

Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar, raat bhar

Dard ke chand dil mein utarte rahe

Chandni jagmagati rahi raat bhar, raat bhar..."



3. Kaho Ek Din

(another hauntingly beautiful melody, I especially love these lines in the song:


"Sitara si jinhe kehte ho

Woh aankhein tumhari hain...

Jinhe tum shaakh si kehte ho

Woh baahein tumhari hain...

Jinhe tum phool si kehte ho

Woh baatein tumhari hain...


Agar sab kuch ye mera hai to

Sab kuch bakhsh do ek din

Wajood apna mujhe tum de do

Mohabbat do ek din

Mere haathon pe apne haath rakh kar

rooh kheench lo ek din....."


The lines where the lyricist/ poet asks the beloved to place her/his hand on his/hers and pull out/extract the soul is so divinely beautiful...it almost reminds of the idea how the angels pull out the soul from the body when they come to take the person, as mentioned in Islamic texts....



4. Ek Baar Kaho Tum Meri Ho IK Baar Kaho { The Sensational Ahmed Jehanzeb }* IBN-E INSHA *

(love the lines of this song in particular:

"Hum ghoom chuke basti ban main

Ik aas ki phaans liye mann main

Koi saajan ho, koi pyaara ho

Koi deepak ho, koi taara ho

Jab jeevan raat andheri ho


Hum yoon kab tak preet ke dhoke main

Tum kab tak duur jharoke main

Haan dil ka daaman phaila ho

Kyun gori ka dil maila ho

Kab mere dil main sawera ho


Ik baar kaho tum meri ho..."




5. Tera Mera Hai Pyar Amar 🎶💕 Ishq Murshid OST [ Extended Version ] - Singer: Ahmed Jehanzeb - HUM TV


(especially love the following lines in this song:

"Noor-e-jahaan aur noor-e-mohabbat

Donon jude tujh se, piya

"Paagal" ya "Jogi" mujhko kaho tum

Haan, mera ishq sab se juda

Teri hi khaatir loon sau janam main

Chaahe ho jo bhi bhala

Na main hoon aashiq, na main deewaana

Kah do mujhe jo, piya"


a special song from the air....

 

Sharing a song which is amazingly melodious not only due to its lyrics, music, but also the connection to fighter jets and fighter pilots and air force....I cannot exaggerate how deeply I am fascinated by fighter pilots and the enigmatic jets racing through the air...


 
(Stills from the video)

Sharing the song with amazing video:

Main Urra Official Video Full Song HD 1080p | perwaaz hai janoon new movie

...gives me goosebumps every time I hear...

Some of my favorite French songs...

 

Sharing some of the songs from France, some of which are classic songs of 80s. Here are they:


1. Dalida - Là où je t'aime [Music Video] - L'acadèmie des 9 (1985)


2. Dalida - Je Suis Malade (HD)

(just amazing composition and lyrics, coming from a famous singer whose songs reflected the malade of her own life)...


3. This song Voyage Voyage is so special to my heart, as I find it very spiritual in terms of its lyrics..I especially like the softer cover version which I am sharing as well:

Desireless - Voyage Voyage (Official HD Video)

The cover (softer version) is just superb:

RUNES / VOYAGE VOYAGE (Desireless cover)


4. Another song (SOS d'un terrien en détresse), originally sung by the band Starmania  but I like the cover version by Dimash. The song has way too beautiful lyrics,

(73) Dimash - S.O.S D'un Terrien En Détresse | Bastau 2017 - YouTube

Keep listening......

Classical Piano Music

 

Sharing some of the classical piano compositions I cherish so much:

(Well, there are so many, but I am sharing few selected ones here, click on the links as I cannot embed youtube videos)

I especially adore the classical Hungarian song Czardas..(sometimes it sounds similar to the changes in music rhythm of the famous violinist Paganini)

Czardas - Monti


Mariage d'Amour - Paul de Senneville || Jacob's Piano


The Heart Asks Pleasure First / The Promise (Edit)


Gibran Alcocer - Idea 10


Andare

(in the song Andare by Ludovico Einaudi, just adore the piano music that starts especially at 0:50)


The Oracle

(this song composed by the legend AR Rahman from the amazing movie 99 songs is just sublime and is so special)


Passacaglia – Handel/Halvorsen (Piano Solo)

Ascension

Interstellar Main Theme - Extra Extended - Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer


Stephan Moccio Performs October

(This particular song is very beautiful, and for some reason the artist eerily resembles one of Professors back in my last university with the same first name :))


All Those Days


Lotus

Beanie - Chezile (Piano Cover)

Yanni one man's dream


Robert Miles - Children [Dream Version]


Mary On A Cross (Piano)

Vincent Lee - With A Piece Of Chalk (Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre été (Amélie)


Ahu Saglam - Gülümcan (Piano Cover)

(this is a beautiful Turkish music song Gulumcan, which has been played on piano, though its ensemble on guitar is also amazing)



Divine Santoor piece

 

I would like to share a music composition on santoor played by the talented Iranian Santoor artist Kourosh Zolani.  I find this composition especially divine as it starts with sounds which almost resemble that of a heart beating, and then music goes further with varying rhythms. Well truth be told; neither do I have a background in music, nor do I understand how to read music, but the sounds just resonate with my being. I almost have a sonic memory, everything for me is sound...and music...


Here is the brilliant music composition on santoor:

Kourosh Zolani - "Memoirs of Sangesar", Santour and orchestra

Lovely Farsi songs

 I thought of sharing few Farsi songs that are so beautiful..


1. A Farsi song sung by the famous Iranian singer Mohsen Yeganeh, especially as its music and tunes and lyrics are simply ethereal and always bring me joy whenever I hear them.

The YouTube video in the link below has the English translations:

Mohsen Yeganeh - Behet Ghol Midam ( I promise you )

(P.S. The guitar music especially at 1:32 is just divine!)



2. The second Farsi song (Evan Band- Alijenab) which I absolutely adore is below:

Evan Band - Alijenab I Live In Concert ( ایوان بند - عالیجناب )


3. Amazing song and music (Ebi & Shadmehr), song appears to show the damage war causes..

Ebi & Shadmehr Aghili – Royaye Ma


4.  A very popular Farsi song- I especially like this version with the beautiful piano music

Sara Naeini | Jane Maryam


5.  Another amazing song with catchy beats...
