Yeah, I'm starting another thread about lyrics. Well, that's the part of a song that interests me most, so I hope you guys will bear with me. š³
Have you noticed a lyricist repeat the same words and patterns over and over again? Well, two lyricists who I've noticed doing this are Javed Akhtar (although he makes sure most of the song is original) and Sameer.
One example for Javed Sahib is using practically the exact same line in the two songs "Sitara Aankhen" from Aur Pyar Ho Gaya and "Salaam" from Umrao Jaan. In "Sitara Aankhen" it goes "Salaam Karni Ki Aarzoo Hai, Idhar Jo Dekhen Salaam Karloon" whereas in "Salaam, it's goes like this "Salaam Karne Ki Aarzoo Hai, Idhar Jo Dekho Salaam Karlen." In addition, he tends to use the words "halke, chake, dhake, kal ke" a whole lot! I'll post examples of this later.
As for Sameer, here's a post that I wrote for another forum a few months ago. I think you'll see what I mean.
You guys wont believe this...I noticed that Sameer's lyrics are very repetetive and found some similarities in different songs. Then I did a search of some of those words and found even more songs with the same words and rhyming patterns. Take a look at this:
Aapke Pyaar Mein (Raaz)
* "Aapke Pyaar Mein Hum Savarne Lage"
* "Jism Se Rooh Mein Hum Utarne Lage"
* "Hum Sanam Had Se Aage Guzarne Lage"
* "Toot Ke Baazuon Mein Bikharne Lage"
Subah Hogi (Waqt)
* "Dilbar Ki Baahon Mein Dilkash Panaahon Mein Hum Savarte Jaayenge"
* "Saanson Ke Aangan Mein Tan Mann Se Dhadkan Mein Hum Utarte Jaayenge"
Dil Dhak Dhak Karne Laga (Jaane Hoga Kya)
* "Main To Teri Nazron Se Teri Jaan Mein Utarne Laga"
* "Bhar Ke Mujhe Baahon Mein Tu Had Se Guzarne Laga"
Kitna Pyaara Pyaara Hai Samaan (Footpath)
* "Toot Ke Bikhar Jaane De Saanson Mein Utar Jaane De
...Rok Na Mujhe Pyaar Mein Had Se Guzar Jaane De"
Tum Bin Na Hum Jee Sakenge (Mere Jeevan Saathi)
* "Yeh Lamha Yahin Pe Theher Jaane Do, Humen Toot Ke Bhikhar Jaane Do
...Jawaan Dhadkanon Mein Utar Jaane Do, Hadon Se Bhi Aage Guzar Jaane Do
Yoon Hi Hum Tumse Pyaar (Khakee)
* "Jism Se Rooh Mein Hum Utarte Rahe"
* "Aake Aaghosh Mein Hum Savarte Rahe"
* "Khushbu Ki Tarah Hum Bikharte Rahe"
Churaao Na Dil (Deewane)
* "Baahon Mein Mujhko Bikhar Jaane De
...Had Se Bhi Aage Guzar Jaane De"
Not only are the words the same, but they're also used in a similar manner...Like, whenever he uses "Guzar", it is always in the context of "had se guzarna"...and for "Utar, its "rooh/saanson/dhadkan/jaan mein utarna." I didn't even know Sameer was THIS unoriginal!
Anyway, please post any example of repetitive lyrics if you have any. Thanks!
