Living Diagonally In My Parallel World!

The Burning Train Title Music Here’s a quiz. How many title tracks of Hindi movies do you remember? Sholay? Shaan? Saagar? All were created by to RD Burman. He had this knack for creating outstanding title music that is remembered even after so many years. The title tracks of Sholay, Shaan, Saagar and The Great Gambler are regularly spoken about. The title track of “ The Burning Train ” belongs to this category. I distinctly remember the reviews of the movie in 1979 had as usual trashed RD’s music especially the title track. Sholay too had to face the same fate. The simpletons who wrote those reviews failed to understand that RD had fantastically incorporated Jazz successfully in a Hindi film. RD’s sang the vocals in falsetto with Annette. The awesomeness and richness of his sounds were such that in September 2014, BBC’s Classic 100 piece Philharmonic Orchestra decided to include this song in their show that was forecast LIVE on 12 global networks. The main sounds in the s...

यह कैसी नींद है जो ख़्वाब भी परेशान हैं रंगोंमें रंगे हैं लोग ..... फिर भी हैरान हैं   हर कोई डूबा है जीने की सच्चाई में खुद से उलझता है हर कोई तन्हाई में   ये किस जगह पे आ के मेरे कदम रुक गए के जैसे मंज़िलोंके निशाँ मिट गए   शायद मेरी बेबसी मुझसे ज्यादा मशहूर है जो ये दुनिया मुझसे दूर है

Mausam Pyar Ka This song is from Sitamgar. Sitamgar was released in 1985 and is another musically rich album by RD. The songs are of various genre Tum DilwalonKe Aage (Jazz), Pyar Jab Na Diya (Western), the unreleased Kisi Gareeb Ke Dil Se (typical Bollywood). I have been fascinated by the use of guitars in RD’s music. He also had the best team of guitarists who are legends in their own way - Dilip Naik, Bhupendra Singh (remember the song Dum Maaro Dum), Bhanu Dasgupta (Sholay), Charanjit Singh (Lead and bass), Tony Vaz (the first Bass Guitarist in Hindi Film music), Ramesh Iyer, Sunil Kaushik, Raju Singh (son of Charanjit Singh). “Sitamgar” was released by HMV in mono sound and how we yearn for the stereo. “Mausam Pyar Ka” is one such song that has super use of guitars. It is set similar to the title song of Yeh Wada Raha and is visually pleasing with excellent photography.   The main sounds are from acoustic, 12 string and bass guitars, Flute, Keyboards, Tabla, ...
