Musical musing

There is something about songs from the past that capture your imagination for no particular reason, and continue to stick with you, years later. At frequent intervals, some song in particular catches my fancy & doesn't let go. Yours, too, I guess but do you actually memorize the entire song, word by word? If you do, that's a bit rare and join the bandwagon :-)

Here are 2 songs that has grabbed me even though I haven't heard them in a while.

Bin Tere Sanam from the not so popular movie Yaara Dildaara For some reason, the opening lines of this song are stuck in my head.

Bin tere sanam mar mitenge hum, aa meri zindagi
Aana hi padaa sajna, zaalim hai dil ki lagi
Tere hi dam se hogi dil ki muraad puri
Tere bagair jaanam hai zindagi adhuri
Ae mere haseen, ab na jaa kahin, aa meri zindagi
Aana hi padaa sajna, zaalim hai dil ki lagi

Another song thats been with me for quite some days now is You Only Live Twice by Coldplay. One of my favorite bands and I simply love the lyrics and sentiments this song exudes.

You only live twice or so it seems,
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame,
Till one dream appears and love is its name.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

So, tell me what song(s) have you been grabbed by off late, and what do you like about it/them?
