Sharing some of the amazingly beautiful melodies from Russia.
Some of the songs I adore so much, specially from the famous singer Vitas (Vitaliy) blessed with amazing voice range and beauty..
Vitas - Kiss As Long As Eternity
(I just adore the intro piano music in it, but the whole song is so deeply beautiful)
VITAS - Звезда (Official video 2003)
And this song Burn burn my star is so dear to my heart, when I first heard this song, I almost felt I have always known it...:
Keep listening......
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)
Mariage d'Amour - Paul de Senneville || Jacob's Piano
The Heart Asks Pleasure First / The Promise (Edit)
(in the song Andare by Ludovico Einaudi, just adore the piano music that starts especially at 0:50)
(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)
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 :))
Beanie - Chezile (Piano Cover)
Robert Miles - Children [Dream Version]
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)
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
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
5. Another amazing song with catchy beats...
Faramarz Aslani Feat. Dariush: Age Ye Rooz | داریوش و فرامرز اصلانی: اگه یه روز | Official Video
6. Another lovely song with an equally lovely video...
I could not stop myself from sharing a song, a ghazal in particular, which I literally heard after several decades-a sense of instant nostalgia and harmony gripped me when I heard the lyrics and music.
The lyrics of this song are so reminiscent of me and my heart...First of all, I would like to post the beautiful lyrics:
saba bhi layi na koyi payam apno ka
suna rahi hai fasane idhar udhar ke mujhe
gaya phira aaj ka din bhi udas karke mujhe
kisi ne bhi to na dekha nigah bharke mujhe
maf kijiye, jo mai ajnabi hu mehfil me
ke raste nahi malum is nagar ke mujhe
gaya phira aaj ka din bhi udas karke mujhe
kisi ne bhi to na dekha nigah bharke mujhe
wo dard hai ke jise seh saku na keh pau
milega chain to ab jaan se gujarke mujhe
gaya phira aaj ka din bhi udas karke mujhe
kisi ne bhi to na dekha nigah bharke mujhe"
Here is the song link (Due to copyright issues, it is so difficult to embed the youtube link)

(37) Kisi Ne Bhi To Na Dekha Nigah Bhar Ke Mujhe - YouTube
Enjoy with an open heart....
This is going to be my first post after a long gap of almost a decade. Well, gaps are important, be it in life or its rhythms... Since I have the time and space, I decided to start my post with MUSIC- something which is my Markaz-e-Hayat (center of life) ...
