My Music

I have always been big time into music, but my phone has now made my access to music even easier. I can listen to my favorite songs anytime, anywhere. I don't have to switch on my laptop anymore every time I want to listen to music.

I believe all of us go through phases when it comes to our Music-listening habits. At least I have been going through phases. When I was in second or third year of my graduation, I went through the "English Phase" as I like to call it! :-P During that time, I mainly listened to only English songs and most of them were Pop. Now I believe I am going through the "Hindi Phase" where I mostly listen to Hindi songs with a couple of English songs here and there.

Here are some of the songs I absolutely love these days:

• Kahan Ho Tum - Bombay Vikings: This is my most favorite song these days. I have never exactly been a fan of Bombay Vikings songs. But this song, without a doubt, is pretty different from their trademark, popular songs. What I love the most about this song is its lyrics. Simply amazing. The music is also really good, very much in tune with the lyrics.
  
• Jhonka Hawa Ka - Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam: This song is absolutely brilliant. The music by Ismail Darbar is beyond words. And the lyrics is just wonderful. This song sort of takes me to a different world every time I hear it.
• Tum Bin - Tum Bin: This song has been my favorite ever since the movie released. Though the movie was hardly noticed by anyone, I am sure that many people loved this song for its music and lyrics. I even like the video of the song to an extent.
• Luka Chhupi - Rang De Basanti: A. R. Rehman at his best. This song has absolutely awesome music. Rehman has composed this song brilliantly and the music, on its own, can give you an idea about the mood of the song. Of course, hats off to Prasoon Joshi for the lyrics which is equally superb. One of those songs which can actually make you feel the emotions that the song depicts.
• Kitni Baatein - Lakshya: This I feel is one of the most melodious sad (though ironic at times) songs that you can come across. Music and lyrics is good. And if you have its video, its like an added advantage. The video is also well taken to suit the mood of the song.
• The Hardest Thing - 98 Degrees: I don't think that I need to say much about this song as I am sure there must be so many who love this song. Great lyrics and good music.
• Tum Yaad Aaye - Alka Yagnik: I don't know how many of you actually know this song. It is from the album "Tum Yaad Aaye" sung by Alka Yagnik and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. I think the names are enough to give you an idea of how beautifully the songs have been composed and sung. This song has beautiful lyrics and Alka Yagnik has done justice to the same. If you haven't heard this song, I would strongly urge you to listen to not just this song, but all the songs from the album. Assuming that not many people know about this album, I am adding a link for the same.

• Against All Odds - Mariah Carey and Westlife: I have always been a fan of Westlife. I love many of their songs. I especially love their take of the Phil Collins' classic 'Against All Odds' and I prefer it over the original, simply because I can associate with this version better than the classic.
• Kuch Kum - Dostana: By now you must have guessed that I usually tend to like those songs which have good lyrics. This song is one such example. The lyrics is wonderful, the music is good... but nothing out of the ordinary. But yet, the beautiful lyrics pretty much makes up for it.
• Aaoge Jab Tum - Jab We Met: Another one of my all-time favorites. Lyrics is a perfect 10. The music is simply marvelous and has been sung just perfect.

Well, the list of my favorites could go on and on, but I have kept it limited to the songs that I listen to most these days. Another post about my other favorites some other time. I don't want to bore you right now! ;-)
