If you are a
mallu, don’t miss this divine piece of music from Shahabaz Aman and Rafeek
Ahamed.
If you are not
a mallu, you can still enjoy the song for its feel , maybe you can even get the
lyrics translated. You are sure to thank me for sharing this!
A couple of
years ago, I happened to listen to this song from the movie ‘Spirit’ and fell in love with it! In the movie, it was rendered by Unni
Menon, one of the most versatile singers in mallu arena.
At some point
later, I came across the rendering by Shahabaz Aman, the composer himself.
Awwww!
Can’t describe
the feel in words! Believe me, No one can sing it better than him. The voice,
the feel, the way the words glide up and down from him can take you to a
different world. When I heard Aman’s rendering, I just understood what the
idiom ‘from the horse’s mouth’ really meant.
While there is no doubt that Unni Menon’s
rendering is a fantastic one, Aman’s version has an unearthly power that
makes you feel - you don’t belong to this material world!
Many people
take the song to be a description of one’s yearning for death, but it isn’t really
that. It’s love in its purest form, the truest form, the ultimate form!
If you have a
window close by, open it widely, let the breeze tickle you. Sit by the window
sill and shut out the world from you, put on the best headsets you possess, hold
your phone and click this link. The gates of Heaven get unlocked!
Close your eyes
and enter right away!
Trust me, if
you have ever experienced love in the very sense of the word, in its true essence,
you won’t come out of the song without touching the unknown corners of your
soul or without wetting your eyes! That is the power of this song and the ones
behind the making of this song!
Sharing both
the versions here, the one by Unni
Menon
and by Shahbaz
Aman
Mesmerizing - No
better definition for him and his voice!
No wonder, people
are crazy about him!
