Khamoj

Lyrics of Fuzon's Khamoj song:

'Sawan beto jaye pe harwa
Munn mera ghabraye
Aiso gaye pardes piya tum
Chain humain nahin aaye
Mora saiyann mose bole na
Main lakh jatan ker hari
Laakh jatan ker hari
Mora saiyaan mose bole na

Tou jo nahin to aise piya him
Jaise sona aangna
Nain tehari raah main hare
Nenun ko tarsao na
Mora saiyaan mose bole na
Main laakh jatan ker hari
Mora saiyaan mose bole na

Pyar tumhain kitna karte hain
Tum ye samajh nahin pao ge
Jub hum na hoon ge to pe harwa
Bolo kya tub aao ge
Mora saiyaan mose bole na
Main laakh jatan ker hari
Mora saiyaan mose bole na'


my translation:

when rain comes, there comes the wind
and my mind is scared
if you hadnt left me dear
i wouldnt have got this memory
my love talk to me
my innumberable attempts to contact u
innumerable attempts to contact u
my love talk to me

if you arent there how can i be
...
(i give up my translation... apologies to fuzon for the bad interpretation if any)

Good cozy song, has a melancholic strain attached to it. 'Fuzon' has done a remarkable job with this song. Wonder how Hariharan would have sung the same number instead of the 'Fuzon' lead-singer. Hariharan is lot more persuasive in his songs. I had good opinion on 'The strings' to start with, but after listening to them a bit more often, I lost interest in their songs(Ashok - I am joining your club!). Hope this Fuzon song doesnt fall into that category.

All Pink Floyd or Dire Straits or Led Zep songs never bore me, even if I am listening to them day-in day-out. These bands really have the fuel to 'go the distance'. Even the most remarkable A R Rahman song falls into the 'burn-out' category.

Guess, only songs which have soul and style can sustain for long time. Songs by 'led zep', 'pink floyd', 'dire straits', classical music(western or carnatic or hindustani) always will last long. Reason for classical music to be featured in this 'perennial-favourite' is that they have an enigma associated with them. It is not easily comprehensible and there lies the beauty of the song. So, most of us wont mind to listen to songs of such kind of again-and-again and still not be satisfied with our interpretion of that song. Every time you listen to the song, you will get a different understanding of that song.
Really enjoyed listening to Madurai TN Seshagopalan's rendition of 'kurinji .. nattai kurinji' raga/song. Infact I even enjoyed the song which ran in the 'kill bill 2' final credits, that song was in some Latino language(I guess Spanish) was composed by Robert Rodriguez.
Robert Rodriguez seems to be god of pulp movies and the best part is that like our 't rajendar' he is also immensely talented in either direction/music direction etc.,

I remember listening to 'khamoj by Fuzon' as a music video and also as part of the soundtrack of 'hyderabad blues 2'. 'Hyderabad blues 2' is not a good movie and the movie relied too much on 'rather bad jokes'. 'Jyoti Dogra' was pretty all through this movie but not in crying scenes, not sure whether she matched the acting talent of the previous 'Hyderabad blues' star 'Rajshri Nair'. Cant really comprehend how Nagesh Kookunur made such a bad film. I remember seeing his other movies including 'Hyderabad Blues(1)', 'Rockford', 'Bollywood calling'. I missed out watching 'teen deewarein'. Best among the above list was 'Bollywood calling' according to me. This movie had loads of stars. To me the best and the surprise pick of that lot was 'Perizaad zorabian' - guess, this was her first movie. She was confidence-personified all through this movie.
