Listening to songs was always a favourite pastime for me…But the problem with me is that I listen to the same song again and again and again… This could end me up in a change of mood…which could be either a Happy or Sad…Sentimental or Cheerful…Emotional or Playful…I have my own set of songs loaded into my mobile which I listen to very often..and somehow, my list doesn’t grow that fast…it is very difficult for any song to enter into my mobile…as I am too much engrossed in my own list…that I doesn’t even listen to another song to like it or not like it…
I had a friend years back, who had once gifted me a cassette recorded with the same song…When my brother unknowingly played the cassette in the player, it started playing the song…it got over and as he waited for the next song, again he heard the same song…again and again he was hearing the same song…at one point he doubted, maybe I was rewinding the cassette…so angrily he fast forwarded the cassette and played it again…to hear the same old song…lol!!! He used to call me Crazy then, for listening so passionately to that cassette…
Now, how I like a song totally depended on its lyrics…if the lyrics were beautiful, then I would love the song… That was the reason why I was so emotionally attached to my songs…As for each song in my list, I had some memory or thoughts or people attached to it…some where happy thoughts and some painful thoughts…so, my mood would end up in a pool of changes as per the songs I hear…
Okkkk..now, all that introduction for nothing??? Naaa…actually, now I am in a whirlpool of mood fluctuation…. I have been listening to some songs…and most of the songs somehow depicted the need for support, love and care… to the three songs that I was listening, I had three different memories….So when I was listening to them, my thoughts flew back to the past…and those faces that was inside my heart came up…
I just felt like telling this out…That, I am a Sentimental Idiot..now…I don’t wanna sing the song out to you guys…but I wanna give a word by word translation of some of the lines of the song that I am listening to right now…These are the lines that keep me close to this song….
When words get spoiled….when a problem arises…
Please stand by me…oh my love…
Apart from you…There is nobody…nor was there anybody…in my life
Please stand by me…oh my love…
Till the moment the Moon gives the light, everybody giv u company..
But please, you don’t leave my hand when it is dark…
U have to belive me…we have met somewhere before..
This is a matter of eras…and its not just today’s story…
So…now this song is supposed to be a romantic song…But somehow, this was the song that I used to always listen to and sing when I was pregnant…I used to keep my hands on my protruding tummy and sing to my baby this song… It was like, I was telling this to him…To be my support some day…to stand by me…Washing off the romanticism in the song, I found the song to be a mother’s plea to her son…
You might think I am a fool for doing that…but, friends, just go thru the above lines…Can’t a mother say the some words to her children…Can’t this be a prayer from an insecure mother to her son… Atleast for me, I felt so… During my pregnancy, I was really insecure…about everything…I feared anything and everything…even the safety of my baby…That’s how I ended up getting attached to this song…A Song for me and my baby…
Now you tell me…Am I really one…???
A Sentimental Idiot???

I tell you, you are not.. :) caz i see myself in the above post.. I am sentimental but not an idiot :) so you too are not am sure:)
jab koi saath bichad jaaye..
jab koi mushkil aaa jaaye..
Tum dena saath mera..
oh humnawaaz
la la la lalaaa..
I dedicate this song to you.. hope you know this.. its similar to what you have written above or may be the same song.. its one of my favourites too..
by the way listening to favourite songs again and again and again.. is my obsession!!!! he says he gets bugged with this habit of mine..! so i put my headphones and listen to the song a 1000 times.. last day i listened to one song the whole day!!!!!!! and the next day too... and the next day.. still am humming it in my mind.. its from bachna e haseeno.. (not sure if its correct) the song is Khuda jaane ye.. a beautiful one.. deepika pathukone and rishi kapoor's son, i forgot his name.
are you a cancerian by any chance?
many many times i feel there are a lot of things common between us..
enjoy the songs.. and listen to them till u are satisfied.. Music is magic, Music is Divine.. let it sink into you.. soak you.. its heavenly!
The song that you have mentioned in english and Sindhu has mentioned in hindi is a lovely song. I remember doing the same...listening to it over and over again....
and if this idea is considered being a sentimental Idiot..then I sure can be included..
@ Sindhu
A true Cancerian...lol!!! so if u too is one, then similarities are sure to be seen...hehe!!!
Now, the song I was talking abt is the same as u said...but the first line... Jab Koyi Baath bigad jaaye...Jab koyi Mushkil padjaaye...
Khuda jaane kyu...is a good song too..but I think I prefer another Ranbir Song...that is...
Keise Bathaye kyun tujko chaahe..yaara bathaana paaye...
Baathein dilon Ki...dekhon jo baaki..aaankhein tuje samjhaye...
Tu Jaanenaaa...Tu Jaaanenaaa...
Milke bhii..hum na mile...tumse na jaane kyu..
meelon ke hein fasle..tumse na jaane kyu..
anjaane heinn silsile...tumse na jaane kyuu...
sapne hein palkon thale...tumse na jaane kyuu...
Nigahon mein dekho meri jo hein bas gaya...Woh hein miltha tumse hubahuuu...
Jaane teri aankhein thi yaa baathein thi wajah..Huye tum jo dil ki aarzo..
Tum paas hoke bhii..tum aas hoke bhi..
Ehsaas hoke bhii..apne nahin..
Eise hum, humko ghile tumse na jaane kyu...
And it goes on like this...What beautiful words, right???
This is the one I am listening to, right now...I just felt in love with this song...There is a line in the paragraph after the above...Ofsous hotha hein...dil bhe yeh rota hein...ooooooooohhhh..i love that line...gosh, what a beautiful song...
For now, I dedicate this song to you...an obsessive listner like me...
@ Lakshmi
Thanks for the company...Join the club...Sindhu too is with us...We rock....!!!
Hmmm, a thoughful post. Are we speaking here of lost love etc? Nothing can hurt like love, right? but then darlings, nothing can make you happy like love does...! if you have ever experienced the bittersweet pain of seperation and yet there lingers a hope of togetherness...lfe can go on for ever. How wonderful is love...me I have loved too, sang these songs in dark and depressing days...then there came light...it was God's way of saying to me, Child, now you have seen and experiencd all emotions I have created in this world...now you can chose what you want to live with. And I chose love!!
Hume tumse pyar kitna
Yeh hum nahin jaanthe
magar jee to sakthe hain,
tumhare bina :-)
In my iTune if you click favourite songs played often you will find the same songs by the same artiste heard by me many times though they are carnatic music not love songs.You got attached to the words and meaning while i get drawn to the raag.We listen what we like however many times.
Good you sang to Advait when he was in your womb.Little wonder he is greatly attached to you.
Sorry for the delay in commenting.I did not get the updates but shd hv checked yr blog daily nevertheless.
Nice to note you hv formed a ladies club with Sindhu,Lakshmi and Anj
