Beete Lamhe - The Train

Playback - KK & Kshitij Tarey

Music - Mithoon & (Lounge mix by Goldeyy)

Lyrics - Sayeed Quadri

Time keeps passing, things change, times change and yes, people also change to some extent. That's reality according to me... what stays is memories and moments - good and bad.

The song talks about the same thing.. beete lamhe.. moments from the past.

This song has fantastic music and is very well sung by KK. I really am wondering how many songs this man has sung in the last 6 months or so... way too many! I'm enjoying them though :)

Dard mein bhi ye lab muskura jaate hain,
Beete lamhe hamein jab bhi yaad aatein hain

are the best lines from the song.. but why leave the rest of them out... so here goes:

dard mein bhi yeh lab muskura jaate hai
beete lamhein hamein jab bhi yaad aate hai)
beete lamhein..........chand lamhaaat ke waaste hi sahi
muskuraakar mili thi mujhe jindagi
teri aaghosh mein din the mere kate
teri baahon mein thi meri raate kati
aaj bhi jab woh pal mujhko yaad aate hai
dil se saare gamon ko bhula jaate hai
dard mein bhi yeh lab muskura jaate hai
beete lamhein hamein jab bhi yaad aate hai
beete lamhein.....
mere kaandhe pe sir ko jhukaana tera
mere sine mein khud ko chhupaana tera
aake meri panaahon mein shaamo sehar
kaanch ki tarah woh toot jaana tera
aaj bhi jab woh manjar nazar aate hai
dil ki viraaniyo ko mita jaate hai
dard mein bhi yeh lab muskura jaate hai
beete lamhein hamein jab bhi yaad aate hai
dard mein.... beete lamhein..........

Bol Na Halke Halke - Jhoom Barabar Jhoom

Playback - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Mahalaxmi Iyer

Music - Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy

Lyrics - Gulzar (writes lines I don't understand.. like the Barso Re song from Guru!!)

I actually like the entire album.. buy my 1st pick from all of them is Bol na halke halke.. It's a fantastic song!

Great music, lyrics,very well sung and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is getting onto my favorites list :)
Mahalaxmi Iyer also has a beautiful voice but I've hardly heard songs sung by her..

Shankar-Ehsan-Loy have this typical style of music.. just like AR Rahman does.. and this song in particular reminds me of the songs from Mission Kashmir..

Socho ke jheelon ka shehar & Chupke se sun..the music just sounds familiar if you pay attention to it..

The violon and the sound which is like that of tapping a matki (clay pot) is so good!

The nice lines are:

aa nind ka sauda karein, ik khwaab de, ik khwaab le
ik khwaab toh aankhon mein hai, ik chaand ke takiye talein
kitane dino se yeh aasamaan bhi soya nahi hai, isako sula de
bol na halke halke, bol na halke halke
honth se halke halke, bol na halke

All in all.. a great song and a must hear!

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...

Ab To Forever - Ta Ra Rum Pum

Playback - KK, Shreya Ghoshal, Vishal Dadlani (Cheeka cheeka..!)

Music - Vishal - Shekhar

Lyrics - Javed Akhtar

The set up of the song and the way it features in the film is typical hindi movie style! Boy trying to patao the girl, girl acting all pricey.. and the rest is usual.. happily ever after!

Whatever said and done.. I like it! :)

Great music, very well sung KK and Saif-Rani look good together.

The beat at the beginning of the song with the dhol is super.. and the cheeka, cheeka.. bit is my favorite!

Tum Hi Tum Ho Jo Raaho Mein
Tum Hi Tum Ho Nigaaho Mein
Kis Din Toh Mere Dil Ko Khona Hi Tha
Tumhe Dekha, Tumhe Chaaha, Tumhe Dhunda, Tumhe Paaya
Tumhe Paake Huwa Hai Jo Woh Hona Hi Tha
Chalo Abb Jo Bhi Ho, Tum Haa Yaa Naa Kaho
Mere Dil Mein Tum Hi Tum Ho
Abb Toh Forever
Bring It On....Jaana Abb Toh Forever,
Bring It On....Ab Forever Sanam
Bring It On....Jaana Abb Toh Forever,
Bring It On....Ab Forever Sanam

Are the good lines from the song.. Definitely worth your ears!
