The pleasure of finding things out

Some songs are meant to be heart for pleasure, while others are meant to be heard for their sheer beauty/art factor. Some voices can bring a flash flood of memories from the past. I doubt it matters if the memories are good or bad? :)

Below are 3 songs that totally rock my world whenever I hear them. I'll also state the reasons why. Of course if you just want audio, check my shared playlist for these 3 at phulki.

1. Bandya Ho from Khuda Ke Liye

Though I don't understand the language [I believe it's urdu], the vocals and the simple background music evoke a tide of memories.. Farah Zala [the female lead on the song] pours her soul into the vocals, and I can actually feel the energy with which she sings. I haven't heard a better voice outside of Norah Jones [and she is amazing]. Just close your eyes for full effect.. don't watch the video [which isn't bad .. but takes away from the raw energy].

2. Ha Raham from Aamir

Nothing special about the song, but just that it hits something inside me.. hey if I could tell you exactly what each time around I'd be omniscient!! :) Something to do with the subconscious mind I guess..

3. Delhi Destiny from 99

Oh this is my absolute "wake me up" number. I think it makes for a good long drive number.. me wanting to take my car out for a spin.. not that the vocals are amazing or that the lyrics are to die for.. just a peppy number with the right attitude.. but something reminds me of my times in college in Kharagpur..

Some songs are just meant to make sense to your DNA.. these are just some of them that work for me :)
