Music - The Harmony of our Souls!

Music, the greatest good that mortals know,

And all of Heaven we have below

- Anonymous

Music has rightly been described as the 'mirror of our souls'. Some even adjudge it as the 'medicine of breaking hearts' or if we believe in Plato's words, it has been described beautifully as 'music is to the mind as air is to the body'. And none of us can really contest this point.

After all, music has always been found to impart an amazing, positive impact on human beings – whether physical, emotional or spiritual, at all times. It has lent its soothing effect to us whenever we are happy, sad, frustrated, terrified, fearful, angry, whimsical, totally mad, shocked or experiencing any other such emotions. And we always tend to take refuge in music especially when we have broken hearts to tend and mend and fend.

Music has a language of its own and communicates differently to different people. It is often seen that a similar piece of music imparts different emotional outbursts in different individuals.

Just as Andersen would mention – 'Where words fail, music speaks'

We are all aware that we all are touched by some song or another in our daily lives, a song that doesn't fail to stoke the romantic embers in our lives.

For me its 'Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko … ' from Yaadon K Baraat, amongst a few others, which always manages to transport me into a sweet romantic getaway no matter what, even if I am getting a royal blasting from my Boss. Its my way of escapism, you see!😆

So do come and share with us your most romantic song that turns you on immediately and pushes you to a romantic genre and why?

You may even post lyrics if you so desire.

wow di great post 👏 ...lyrics really do say alot from when they used in tv and films to songs that we listen to in our daily life and listen to everyday....for me it helps me when i am working ....need to think things through right music helps ...to calm me down honestly or just when you want to relax.

😆 😆'Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko … '

Mines one akeer by juggy di when i need a life me up its a great song 😛 :

Jadon sir ho chatrhe lit jaaye
Badhal bijlee sit jaaye
Jadon sir ho chatrhe lit jaaye
Badhal bijlee sit jaaye
Likheyah na hi mit jaaye
Dharthi shadh jaaye tha
Phir Iko hi kaam tu kare pyaariya
Lehle ohsda naam

----------------------------

Dil hai chhota sa chhoti si aasha
Masti bhare man ki bholi si aasha
Chaand taaron ko chhoone ki aasha
Aasmaan mein udne ki aasha

I love this one 😃thats how i feel werid as it may sounds minute i heard it on zee cinestars i thought thats my song!

Dil de diya -masti this one simply because everyone makes mistake and this ones about guy who realise his mistake and what his wife means to him

Jab koi baat -kishore kumar promise to support each other 😉

bindiya chamki gi
kya khoob lagti ho

I like rdb three album and akheer that takes me back to first year at uni ...😳see i could go on forever

think last two by kishore kumar as well not 100%

Beautifully written Sangs! For me personally music is a medium in which I live my dreams, let out my frustration and think about what life could be like. They say that music is a Universal Language. Truth be told, they say the same thing about Mathematics; however, not everybody understands math, whereas everybody understands music (no matter how besura you are! 😉). It is the medium in which you can see ones bare soul, feel ones emotions and hear ones joy or sorrow.

For me personally, one of the best aspects of a song are the lyrics, and more often than not I find myself noting the song lyrics that touch me the most. I generally listen to Hindi music, as I find it to be extremely diverse in its styling, but more meaningful in its lyrics. You can call me an emotional fool, but one song that almost guaranteed brings tears to my eyes is "Phoolon ka taro ka, sabka kehna hai, ek hazaaron mein, meri behena hain, saari umar humme sang rehna hain…" I, of course, think of my one and only sister when this song plays, and think of exactly what she means to me. Without her, my life would be totally different.. it wouldn't be worth living.

In terms of romantic songs, my faves include 'Jiya Dhadak Dhadak' (as you can probably tell by my siggy) and my alltime favorites 'Kabhi Kabhi' (Film: Kabhi Kabhie) (which I think almost everyone loves), 'Hum Bewafa Hargiz na the' (Film: Shalimar) (awesome lyrics here!), 'Ehsaan tera hoga mujhpar' (Film: Junglee), 'Tu Pyar Hai Kisi Aur Ka'(Film: Dil Hai ki Manta Nahin), ' and 'Suraj Hua Maddham' (Film: K3G). In regards to the last one, it's the lyrics that get me everytime.

Suraj hua maddham, Chaand jalne lagaa

Aasmaan yeh haye, kyun pighalne laga

Main thehra raha, zameen chalne lagi

Dhadka yeh dil, saans thamne lagi

Kya yeh mera pehle pehla pyar hai

Sajna kya yeh mera pehla pehla pyar hain

Hain khoobsurat yeh pal, Sab kuch raha hai badal

Sapne haqeeqat mein jo dhal rahe hain

Kya sadiyon se purana, hai rishta yeh humara

Ke jis tarah tumse hum mil rahe hain

Yunhi rahe har dum, pyar ka mausam

Yunhi milo humse, tum janam janam

Tere hi rang se yun main to rangeen hoon sanam

Paake tujhe khud se hi kho rahi hoon sanam

Oh mahiya, ve tere ishq mein

Haan dubke paar main ho rahi hoon sanam

Saagar hua pyaasa, raat dhalne lagi

Sholo ke dil mein bhi, aag jalne lagi

Main thehri rahi, zameen chalne lagi

Dhadka yeh dil, saans thamne lagi

Kya yeh mera pehla pehla pyar hai.

Sajna, kya yeh mera pehla pehla pyar hai..

I have found that my appreciation for music has come primarily from my father, whose vast collection of the golden oldies has turned me into a self proclaimed ace at antakshari. Not only that but my fondness for Jagjit Singh ghazals has stemmed from there too (My faves being 'Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho' and 'Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya') . I have not met too many girls (like me born and raised in the US), who appreciate his music as I do (not to say there isnt anyone.. I just havent met them yet!).

I think that music is what brings the world together, and although we may not understand one anothers language, we can always understands ones emotions through music, no matter what country you are from.

Awesome post Sangs! Thanks for this!

( I totally forgot to add my other all time fave! 'Chalte chalte' (Film: Pakeezah).. )

Yaar i love jagjit singh since i heard his album mitar pyare nu like you said alot of people do not like it have you heard that 😃i am from the uk but same thing really 😆

I think that music is what brings the world together, and although we may not understand one anothers language, we can always understands ones emotions through music, no matter what country you are from.

So true like i said above as well at times it says more than sometimes you can say...person choice of music says alot.

Awesome post Sangs! Thanks for this!

heres songs:

Dil de diya -masti this one simply because everyone makes mistake and this ones about guy who realise his mistake and what his wife means to him I love this song too. Its a tad melancholic, but a fab song nonetheless!

mohabaat bade kaam-trishul This shows two side to love one who belive one not so can suit any mood.

Naseeb song from naseeb 😛 this one takes me back to my childhood me and hema go back that long love her movies so love this song 😆especially all about destiny.

Jab koi baat -kishore kumar promise to support each other 😉 Yet another classic choice! Although I love this song, 'Hum Bewafa' for me is a personal choice of Kishore Kumar!

bindiya chamki gi
kya khoob lagti ho
these remind me of upen patel and really cool videos but lyrics bindiya chamki gi is romantic song and video uses red so escapism 😉and kya khoob is just really cheeky song and reminds me of certain people😆 And how nice upen patel looks! (I just showed who he was to my cousin.. she cant stop drooling! Esp in that 36 china town song)

overall all these songs are different romantic songs different situations😃all have memorys some just lyrics take me aways

Sangs,

Your post reminded me of that scene from Kyun ki when salman khan is trying to get music and he gives a big huge speech on how music is important (he looked cho chweet there).

Hasne main rone main khane main peene main sangeet hi sangeet hai(i don't remember the rest😆).

My favorite song which always elicits an emotional response is Tadap tadap ke from Hum dil de chuke sanam. The song not only describes the situation perfectly but also the lyrics are beautiful and describes love in it's true sense. It shows the anguish felt by a lover perfectly. And not only in just the man-woman love but also any other relationship this song would be apt.

Here are lyrics for the song:

Music is truly food for the soul....😳

Ok... I have too many to list here... at the moment my best romantic song is from Salaam e ishq - both the title track as well as Dil kya kare... the words are divine!

This post is actually very appropriate for me now cos I watched Music and Lyrics (Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore) last night. The song back to love in the movie is really sweet...

My favorite romantic songs would be from the old movie Saraswatichandra

Phool tumhe bheja hain khat mein

and

Chandan sa badan, chanchal chitwan

From the newer movies:

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein (Kabhi Kabhi)

Tere Liye (Veer Zaara)
