I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.

Virginia Woolf (via resqectable)

what do ya think 'bout the song "Kun faya kun"?

I'm so sorry for the late response 'cause I wanted to rewatch the whole film to feel the heartbreak all over again.

So.. yeah about "Kun faya kun". This isn't a song, this is what people call "a masterpiece". The legendary vocals of Mohit Chauhan, A.R. Rahman and Javed Ali will take you to heaven through this song.

"Jab kahin pe kuch nahi, bhi nahi tha wahi tha"

Even as an atheist,I can say that this line will definitely make you want to believe in an ultimate power which people has named as God. One can literally feel goosebumps when you hear this line. The amazing fusion of the two different languages has created a whole different aura of tranquility.

"Tu hai mujhmein samaaya, kahaan leke mujhe aaya

"Main hoon tujhmein samaaya, tere peechhe chala aaya"

These lines will make you cry in an unknown emotion. The overwhelming feeling of ecstasy will knock you out, which one can never feel even if they intoxicate themselves with some drugs.

"Rangreza rang mera, tann mera mann"

The chorus led by Javed Ali will make you feel like you're wrapped in a warm hug. I've always felt like I'm floating in air whenever I listen to this lines.

Overall I think that this song makes you forget all of the present worries and somehow cleanses your soul in a divine way.

P.S. I absolutely love the other songs of the film "Rockstar". They are "Tum Ho", "Naadan Parinde", "Sadda Haq".

And this scene, which is the last scene of the film,is just way out of the world. You'll just tear up in this scene, I'm sure of it.

This is one amazing review of the film by Sanket Thorat. I totally recommend everyone to watch this film. You will never regret it,I promise.

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"
