My Understanding of Teri Deewani by Raja

The complete song appeared to be the coversation with Almighty though the original portrays a love story.
At times I felt original a bit monotonous. But...

Raja, throughout the song just put the appropriate emotions in every word and lines - God Bless.

The very first Aaalap gave us the indication of establishing a connection with Him, thanking Him for accepting the coversation.

Raja tried to convince "Him" that "He" is responsible for this urge for complete surrender and madness about searching and reaching The Almighty.

He used helplessness, Pleading, requesting, surrendering moods. He was also authoritative, argumentative, blaming Him at times. Well then gave a blend of caring, cajoling and fondling as well.

With the second aalap he also demonstrated indifference and coldness, annoyance and resentment for not agreeing to his pleading.

With the off beat set of rendition there was a feeling of getting in agreement with the Almighty. Both moving one step forward to compromis and then it was pure surrender... and acceptance by ALMIGHTY

The offbeat portion was surrender definitely, but not of the divine kind. 😆 Raja tries to be original and improvise, but he also lives a bit dangerously if you ask me - doesn't learn the lines properly, and I feel doesn't quite practice enough, to be honest.

However, I am a huge fan of his voice, and what he can do with it. So, good luck to him.

Raja's singing was awesome and out of the world. He brought to the song to another level - even better than the original!
