The Udaan Song

I do enjoy watching movies but always consider the reviews before investing my

time into them. So did I, for the movie Udaan.

Udaan indeed was worth all the acclaim it received, but this review I have written

is not for the movie; instead for one of the background scores of the movie.

All the songs in movie have very deep influential lyrics, but the one that has

been making me dumb folded ever since I heard it is a beautiful rock composition

called ‘Naav’ , written by lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya and sung and composed by

Mohan, Joi Barua, Neuman Pinto.

This song churns me in and out every time I hear it (in fact I no more just hear it

but listen to it), and pushes me to fight against all odds.

Very tactfully it first questions the subject, of his capabilities and reason of

failure, who is seemingly trapped in an enormous storm and is struggling against it.

This phenomenal metaphor provokes us to ponder if any roadblock is big enough

to make us spend our lives in its shadow and not try overcoming it; height of our

problems is inversely related to our determination.

Though the times might be very difficult but are never to give up, are to gather

all our strength and fight out with anticipation of victory. The joy of surviving

and winning over the biggest storms is intoxicating, but this victory first needs

courage and self belief, and then a victorious forceful forward strike. Storms will

always trap and tussle, but one who bravely collects himself and emerges out with

flying colors is then worshipped by the storm itself.

The song very much reminds me of the much repeated words of Paulo Coelho from

the Alchemist,

‘When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that

person to realize his dream.’

Still listening……

Thanks to Amitabh for giving birth to a ray of hope, an inspiration.

Love the way you lie......

Music is the only sanity left in this otherwise insane world. This gift of God to the human kind has given meaning to many meaningless lives; ones who had lost all hope have revived and started living back again. It can bring strange realizations and enlightment. Sometimes what world fails to make us understand by simply talking or writing to us, rhythm conveys it very beautifully and impact fully.

Some similar impact brings the song, ‘I love the way you lie’ by Eminem and Rihanna.

The song starts with Rihanna’s ironical acceptance that sometimes we knowingly take in the poison as is tastes too sweet to be given away.  Even though the truth might be on our faces yet we don’t accept it as the illusion of the lie being a truth overrides our practicality. The infectious sweet pain makes us addictive to it and we get lost in our hallucinations. This is what the blind faith meets to. To break the walls of this illusion and walk away needs a big leap else this intoxication of false pleasure burns us away.

As the song proceeds, Eminem sings his heart out that though he knows that the wrong doings have hurt his girl and all his promises have turned hostile, yet he can’t stop from wanting her. Though the mistakes are known, and truth and lie is indentified yet the passion becomes wildness and saturates one in the same insanity of desire that burns not just the host but his world too.

Do listen to this song…. It has everything to take you over, not just the literal meaning but the metaphor is hitting harder….. Little too savage, yet addictive……

Hunger

This world sustains,

because of people’s insatiable hungers.

Some are hungry for bread,

others for power.

Hunger for bread can be satiated,

But hunger for power can never be.

labourers labor,

servicemen serve,

traders trade,

to satisfy their hunger for bread.

Rulers exploit,

Politicians play dirty politics,

Business tycoons cheat,

to satisfy their hunger for power.

What a difference between two types of same thing!

One makes man to add to the world’s beauty,

Other makes man to steal what world has.

One gives peace of mind, on satisfaction,

Other is never satisfied.

And only whets megalo maniac’s appetite!
