Which ARR song you recently listened to?

[Sunil_M88]

Hearing Jaage Hain from Guru made me think, will I hear such song from Rahman Ji ever again?!

The realist has corrected the pessimist in me with regards to this thought...

ARR need not even attempt to recreate or repeat a song of this stature. Some compositions stand out tall and this is because they don't have any comparison from the past or present, therefore we often certify them as being Once In A Lifetime!

Rahman Ji enters the song with a husky and mellow voice and then...wait for it...blossoms with higher octaves which if sung or attempted by other singers would sound like a hit or miss but with ARR you can be sure it will always sound on point and it is this precise peripeteia why the song is revered by many.

The song's title in its literal sense is definitely a wake up call! The Bass, Cellos, Violins, Woodwinds, Horns, Chorale group also shift gears in this song as in the beginning are less layered but with Rahman Ji's vocal transition they too gather momentum and flourish in parallel.

This song is the soul of the film, Gulzar Ji's lyrics speak of conquering dreams and desires and are the core values reflected by the lead character who's name is, Guru (English: Teacher).

I know no other Guru than Rahman Ji and that's all I see and hear before me.

Happy Listening!
