Shauk Hai - Unreleased song from Guru by Rahman

Today I came to know about yet another one from Rahman.
Its called Shauk Hai. It was composed for Mani Ratnam's Guru. Somehow it wasnt featured in the movie. I hear that it was played (may be an instrumental) when they show Vidhya Balan's character in the movie.

As you might know by now, she portrays a person whos suffering from Multiple Sclerosis. The song is melancholic but refreshing.

The song is for all who aspires big even at the times of testing. Nicely composed. Accompanied by Piano throughout. Super Delicate. Instills that ray of hope to all who listen to it. The lyrics is also thought provoking.

My Latest Favorite !

I keep on discovering Rahman's Music. As you know, I'm not a total music buff. I just love Rahman's music. Doesnt mean, I know all his music. But whatever songs I know, I know it :)

So here it is, My latest favorite. I can bet I've heard this song before. But didnt know/recognise it was Rahman's.


Bole Sajni - A R Rahman - Sonu Nigam - Doli Sajake Rakhna

Check out the starting, sounded like Muthu, the trumpets and all.

I lov'd the way the song is built. Soothing one. Absolute delight !!

A lost pearl among Rahman Songs.

When it comes to Qawwalli´s Rahman delivers the best. I knew about only 2 qawwall´s of Rahman. Fiza - Piya Haaji Ali and Jodha Akbar - Khwaja Mere Khwaja.

But a few days before, one of my friends told me there´s another one. Its called Noor-ul-ana from Meenaxi. If you run a quick google search on it, the results would be minimal. It seems like nobody has noticed such a song. You´d get hardly any results on the search.

So check out that song. And tell me what you felt.

Why this blog ?

Let me take this opportunity to explain the reason behind this blog.

But before that a little about me.
I´m Jeff. A huge A R Rahman fan. I enjoy Rahman songs in a way nobody does. I shake, move, tap, groove to Rahman songs. Everytime I listen to his songs, I find something new. This might sound lame to you. As a matter of fact, lots of things I say here might not make sense to you. But this blog is not for you. This is for me. This is what I felt when I listened to his songs.

This doesnt mean I´m the only person who understands his music. I think, everybody has a different style of approach to songs. Any song. This blog is about my approach, my feel towards Rahman Songs.

Let me note here, that I´m not an educated music person. Nor do I have knowledge in different things of music. Its a fact that I play keyboard. But I´ve no clue what different terms in music means. So if you´re here looking for music jargons, you´d find none.
