one of the songs which i heard recently...which i liked is this song called pee loon from Once upon a time in mumbai.
This song I have to say is Tailormade for a singer like Mohit Chauhan.(On the same lines of tumse hi,khoon chala,kahin na laage mann,tune jo naa kaha).Well of recent times Mohit Chauhan is the no 1 singer in singing romantic ballads :)(as of now)
The only exception to this is of course Masakkali which is more of a fun track(one of my favs too).
The song peelon starts with a stringed kinda instrument which reminded me the intro of "khuda jaane" from bachna ae haseeno.
The song begins with 2 voices Mohit and a sufi singer(possibly Rahat) humming...
Pee loon tere neelay neelay nainon se shabnam
Pee loon tere geelay geelay honthon ki sargam
Pee loon hai peenay ka mausam
The first 3 lines have that same romantic feeling of a ballad...very catchy :)
The mukhda takes a sudden turn for the next few lines
A qawwali twist to the song....
the twist really was unexpected for me when i heard it first time..loved the tabla here
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere bin jee nahi lagda, tere bin jee nahi sakda
Tujhpe hai haare maine vaare do jahan, kurbaan, tera kurbaan
The last line here reminds me of some song but not able to recollect :(
The rhythm pattern is the popular bollywood rhythm pattern found in so many other songs.
The antara comes back to the same Mohit 'ish mode ....right at this time it reminded me of another song Bheegi Si from Raajneethi.
Not that these songs have similar tune.But I'm very much sure that both these songs were composed in the same week atleast.One reminds me of the other :)No doubt 2 really nice songs.
pritam has some composed some really nice mohit chauhan songs and have loved most of them...I'm sure these songs add to that list too...
The interlude before the Antara with a string-harmonium is kinda nice...blends well with the overall mood of the song....
Also observe the minute change in the rhythm at the end...(when he is singing peeloon 3 :50)
Overall a very sweet,catchy song...with experiement of adding that qawwali feeling to otherwise a romantic kinda Mohit' ish song.
Guys i have been very irregular in updating this blog due to various reasons...will be more regular from this week....atleast 1 song a week...
