Alvida - Life In A... Metro

Playback - KK (currently - my favorite singer!)

Music - Pritam

Lyrics - Amitabh Varma, Sandeep Srivastava and Syed Quadri

This is one song that's got an awesome feel to it (musically) and starts really slow and peaceful.. building it up and then -- LOUD!!

Pritam, off late has been doing great work and making great music -- would love to give him the credit for it but.. a lot has been written about the work being "inspired" :)

Anyways, I personally think the song's great, movie's OK.. but wonder WHY the 3 of them who form the Metro band are in all the songs!! I mean, if they fit into the context of the film or are just in the title song, or at the end it's alright... but why every song??

It's all about how sometimes people make decisions and then you wonder why they did so.. maybe without thinking..

Coming to the good lines..

chupake se kahin,
dheeme paanv sejaane kis taraf,
kis ghadiaage badh gaye hamse raahon mein
par tum toh abhi the yahin
kuchh bhi na suna,
kab ka tha gilakaise keh diya alvida

and then..

sunle bekhabar,
yuun aankhein pher kar aaj tu chali ja
dhundegi nazar humko hi magar har jagah
aisi raaton mein leke karvate, yaad hamein karna
aur phir haar kar kehna kyun magar,
keh diya alvida alvidakoi puchhe toh zara,
kya socha aur kaha alvidaalvida, alvida,
abb kehna aur kyajab tune keh diya, alvida...

i think all the songs from this artist in the movie r well placed; with the right larger meaning...i loved every-bit of this song and also the one which opens the movie...but all said n done; pritam as a band does a fantastic job in putting the soul in the words :) that's my take
