The thing after Tendulkar that i love the most is music and there are so many beautiful compositions that i want everyone out there to hear.
KHAMAJ : FUZON
Starts with a beautiful guitar solo and then perfectly blending in the mood comes the vocals of Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan touching your heart the very instant. And then comes in the USP of the song the usage of ghatap. The fusion of these two instruments is perfect to hear on a cold night with drinks. The guitar solos are mesmerizing and to add to it the minimal usage of drums making it even better. "Mora saiyan mose bole na" as popularly known is the soundtrack of Hyderabad blues 2 and is a track which should not be missed if you are a true music lover.
The original Version:
The Coke studio Version:
RAB JAANE : EUPHORIA
If you thought Palash Sen's band was only about a bunch of men jumping then this is a very welcome change to all. The song is a happy song saying that you just keep doing what you have to and rest will be taken care of by the ALMIGHTY or RAB :) . Guitar to start with then adding to the music comes in the bongo and to complete the magic flute can be heard in the background.
So a number with awesome music and a song to pick you up if you are down . :D
Check it Out:
IKTARA BY TOCHI RAINA: WAKE UP SID
Take a bow Amit Trivedi.The male version of the song which i like better than the female one primarily because the lyrics are in punjabi. :). The composition is a masterpiece magically using guitar and drums. The verse is the USP of the song. One song which has outstanding lyrics " Beeti ratein basi basi pade hain sirhane band darwaza dekhe lauti hain hawa thandi hain angithi sili sili hain deewarein goonje takrake inme dil ki sada" Listen to this one and fall in love with Iktara all over again.
Listen

Paimona: Zeb and Haniya
You always feel that there should be a song so soothing that takes you into a completely different world where you are your best company.This is one of those songs. A soulful number with just the right mix of instruments used.Music knows no language. I am sure most of you won't understand the lyrics as they are in persian (neither did I) but still the soul in Zeb's and Haniya's voices will make sure that the message in the song is sent across
The original Version:Trumpet steals the show. Drums and guitar gives the song the depth. Trumpet in the song is by the accomplished Norwegian jazz trumpeter, Hildegunn Øiseth, who makes an unforgettable appearance. Listen to this wonderful track.
The coke Studio version
I call this the more loaded version. Sarod Guitar Drums and the voice modulations by the two singers showcase the number in a very different manner. A must hear for people who really appreciate music.
Khuda Kay Bande: Amit Trivedi
Anurag Kashyap inspired him to create this piece and what music did this lad make. Lyrics that would take you back to the horrific night of 26/11 and that would make yours eyes water again. A harmonious track that carries an appeal for all the people out their in harmony.
Madno: Lamhaa
Most of you out there must have heard this song but those who haven't Mithun makes a comeback after anwar and my'o'my what a comeback. Imagine a toy that you really liked but then you lost it and one fine day you found it back and to your surprise it was in a better shape than before. This is how i see this song. Lyrics par excellence music that makes a place in your instantly. And Kshitz and Chinmai add soul to the song with their unique voices. Keep it up Mithun. Way to go boy.
