Download Dil Chahta Hai Movie Songs

[Norine Wiltshire]

Iwould have never guessed that this would be one of your favourite songs, almost to the extent of being identified by it. Somehow from the music and choices you feature in this blog, I would have thought differently !!! Of course lyrics with poetic and intriguing allusions would catch your fancy I know ?

It was a pleasure trip with a gang of like-minded people. They were in such a fun mood that even before the tune took final shape, all of them started cheering one another and moved on to the next song. Interestingly, all the tunes were composed in that light-hearted and cheerful way.

In Lonavala, when they got together to finally compose tunes for the film, Farhan played it to Javed who was to write lyrics having that conversational flair. The plan to write a title song went a-begging till they went to sleep that night. The next morning, Farhan woke up much later than the two early birds, Shankar and Javed. He was greeted by them with a large grin on their faces. Farhan understood that the two restless souls had finally hit upon the idea for the title song and must have finished it.

The picturization of three cheerful lads in fancy shades, riding a convertible Merc, racing with the train and playing pranks with one another, gels so well with the playful voice of Shankar. Shankar wanted the song to be lip-synced by at least one of the actors. This idea was dismissed by Farhan and instead, he brilliantly captured the three of them driving on the highway with a freewheeling spirit as the hook line played in the background. It does cast a terrific spell.

What makes the song stand out is the use of the rock guitar. In the brilliant second interlude, Ehsaan plays a differently patterned solo, heard only in the songs of rock bands. The song became an all-time ode to road trips.

They had a group of five singers. While some of them sang in a melody, other voices were layered on top of that. These elements are complex but haunting and hitherto unknown in film songs. The musical bridges, in between the antaras of the songs, get a different texture with stacks of vocal harmony.

The picturization of two lovers munching popcorn in a cinema hall and imagining themselves in the days of black-and-white films, along with the music, is a sheer delight to watch. The music had to be retro in its appeal to take one back to that groove where heroines would be gaping at the moon, singing and dancing on the shining cloudlets, with their satin sarees shimmering in the backlight.

The song spans over a long time: from club music in monochrome, to the imitation of the Titanic pose while standing at the edge of a cliff. The innovation comes in when instead of going desi in its instrumentation, SEL source elements from Scottish folksy tunes.

In the song, a guitar solo leads the way in old bluegrass mode. Then a lot of acoustic music comes in for small but significant passages, with a bagpiper phrase coming in the background where the dancers flutter their arms like birds flapping their wings. The rhythmic guitar riff keeps moving while fiddle, flute, piano and offbeat clapping wait to come in. The song sounds like old-fashioned Welsh country music. However, it also brings out the authentic high-energy, party atmosphere where along with Saif Ali Khan and Sonali Kulkarni other young lovers in the movie hall also had the pleasure of replicating the antics of their celluloid icons.

One of the most essential things while travelling is having a good playlist on your IPod, MP3 player or your cell phone. The actual fun begins only when you reach the destination and commuting to the final destination can get boring sometimes. You may have your friends or family along with you, but trust us, good music will entertain everyone through the journey. Heres a list of songs that should MOST CERTAINLY be added to your playlist (if they arent already) while traveling.

Imtiaz Alis Highway is known for the picturesque journey. The song Patakha Guddi describes freedom, purity and wildness. The lyrics, the landscape and the timeless music will totally make your traveling experience better!

Dil Chahta Hai, from the movie by the same name is a wonderful song. The movie, which is about 3 friends and their relationships, also involved traveling in it. This song is a great entertainer on a road trip!

This song from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is a popular one among those who love to travel. The movie itself set across different locations in Spain with a plot that talks a lot about life inspires to travel.

Banjara literally means a gypsy. The song Banjarey is quite a treat to the backpackers, solo travelers, etc. The lyrics describe how nomads travel, without knowing where to go. It somehow increases the wanderlust in me, and the desire to explore more.

Tanha Dil is one of my favorite numbers by Shaan. It talks about the journey of life and wading ones way through it, alone. This song could evoke emotions but its certainly worth being in the playlist!

Leaving on a jet plane, written by John Denver was the #1 single in 1960s. While it doesnt belong to the happy category of songs, its important to have it in the list. Each time this song plays, one will be filled with nostalgia of having left behind someone while taking the trip. Its a beautiful number!

Come Sail Away is one of the biggest hits of Styxs career. With a combination of ballad-like opening and guitar-heavy latter half, its a lovely number. Though its not a song about traveling, it deserves a place in your list, courtesy: its deep lyrics!

Best Song Of Dil Chahta Hai: Few singers have the gift of delivering sad songs to such heart-rending effect as Sonu Nigam does. Shankar Ehsaan Loy have made exceptional use of this skill on more than one occasion, and Tanhayee was one of the most memorable songs born thus. Like with Farhan Akhtar's subsequent movies, Javed Akhtar penned the lyrics for this movie too, and the melancholy in this song situation is incredibly palpable through his words. SEL complement the desolation with their melody and arrangement that sees a beautiful interplay of violins and flute (latter played by the brilliant Naveen Kumar).

Like many facets of Choctaw life, basketry is steeped in Tribal culture. Part of Choctaw life for centuries, it is a practice that blends tradition with innovation. In years gone by, baskets were used in the field and in the home. Modern times see the baskets holding a place in treasured Choctaw collections.

The method of cutting and preparing the cane is the same used by Choctaw for generations. Fall is the ideal time to gather the cane, although it is hardly an easy task, given that wet, swampy areas are its natural habitat. Length of the cane vary, although most basket makers like to work with cane that measures at least six feet long.

Once the cane is cut, the weaver uses a small, sharp knife to slice the thin top layer into strips. A skilled maker can get four to six strips from one piece of cane, but that is a matter of individual preference.

Dyeing the strips is the next step. For many years, basket makers used natural materials such as berries, flowers, roots or bark to color the cane. Modern times have seen the introduction of commercial dyes due to their durability and wide range of colors available. Basket makers create a variety of patterns by weaving together the colored and natural strips of cane. While traditional forms such as the egg basket and traditional patterns like the diamond design are common, many basket makers like to experiment with color, pattern and shape.

Choctaw dresses usually are trimmed with one of three motifs: full diamond, half diamond, or series of circles and crosses. The last motif may represent stickball and stickball sticks, but it may also have origins in earlier designs. The diamond design, which is often seen on Choctaw baskets as well, is said to represent the eastern diamondback rattlesnake.

There are a few elders who still prefer to wear Choctaw dresses for their everyday clothing. Those are made from print fabric and are shorter than dresses worn for dancing. Instead of time-consuming hand appliqu, the traditional dresses are sometimes trimmed with commercial fabric. The apron may be worn with these dresses as well.

Twentieth century photographs show Choctaw men wearing shirts and ties along with strings of multi-colored beads, but this style eventually gave way to the collar necklaces, hatbands and beaded belts worn by contemporary Choctaw men. Both men and women wear sashes, known as the most traditional accessory, featuring both beadwork and appliqu.

Animal dances recognize creatures that were important to the Choctaw people and often mimic the behavior of their namesakes. Dancers dart in and out of the dance circle like playful raccoons in the raccoon dance or form a line that coils and uncoils in the snake dance.

Consider the beat of the drum as the heartbeat of the Choctaw people, and its sound announces an important event in the Tribal culture. It could precede dancers gathering, a game of stickball or a wedding ceremony. Drums can signal the start of each.

In most cases, the only musical instrument that the Mississippi Choctaw use to accompany songs is a pair of striking sticks. Slightly flat on two sides, the sticks have surfaces that are appropriate for hitting together. Dance chanters use them to keep time as they sing. In 1933, ethnomusicologist Frances Densmore visited Philadelphia, MS to record the songs of Choctaw chanters. She noted that striking sticks were used by most of the men who sang for her.

There is not a wealth of information to confirm that flutes, whistles and flageolets were used in Tribal events. But Mississippi Choctaw medicine men played vertical cane flutes on the night before and during stickball games in support of the home team. The flutes were nearly a foot long with a sound hole and two finger holes and were etched with symbolic designs.
