TWO SONGS
Melodies hold the power to sway the mind heart to its tune and take one back to a day or moment or even remind of a person from way back in the past. I love listening to music and need the background sound in the house the whole day; I am addicted to the radio as a result – a throwback to my childhood as it used to be a constant sound in the house. I normally love old Hindi movie songs for their rich musical composition and lyrical poetry – all sung in an amazing voice of that era. Listing two songs is tough; so listed the ones with the most powerful memories for me.
- Freedom by George Michael must be my first “teen” song that I heard on the telly while viewing a Grammy award presentation. And that was it for me from that day! I was in love! The way his blond hair flopped over his forehead and his Elvis like legwork – Yummmm! And the song itself represented in its entirety to me at that phase in life. Even today, when I listen to it, I am flashbacked to that moment in time when I first heard it.
- Tujhe Dekha toh yeh jana sanam * is the theme song from one of my favourite movies and it moves me into mushiness to-day. I am waiting for a romance like this song embodies, complete with the sarson ke khet ** and the cowbell!! 😉
What are your favourite medley? What do they remind you of?
Linking up this post for Day #20 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge
This post has been attempted for the prompt 10 day YOU challenge
* When I see you my beloved is the literal translation of these few first words from this popular song from a golden jubilees movie DDLJ.
** Mustard fields are the favourite for romance settings in Hindi films; the fields are full of yellow flowers clad green stalks of the mustard crop and is pretty picturesque.
One of my favourite songs would be Arms Wide Open. It has so much more meaning to me now that I’m a mother.
Hi Patricia… I haven’t heard it, will look it up. Cheers
I have a number of favorite songs, depending on my mood. When I was younger, my favorites may have been love songs, or songs of angst. Today, my favorite is more into hard rock, such as ‘Square Hammer’ by Ghost. Not a love song, but I love the chorus.
I know what you mean Alana. I chose these as they have the strongest memory association for me down the years…
I haven’t heard this song, but then am not into hard Rock at all.
I love the song Freedom by George Michaels. I never heard of the second one before.
Thanks Sandy… It’s a popular hindi movie song, prob that’s why you haven’t heard it…
Those are cute picks. And that cowbell and romance? Ah ha! sounds mushy and very bollywood 🙂 <3
What do I say Parul…. I am all about the mushy stufffff ❤☄
I also love both these songs Shalini..good choice. I know it is really difficult to only find 2 songs out of a whole list of songs which we love.
Thanks Deepa, it was a tough choice for sure… What are your fav?
