Silences

Speaking of silences, I recently discovered the utmost melody in silences, in a song by my favourite singer Papon's rendition of "Kaun Mera". This is an unplugged version from the OST of the movie Special 26. Papon is wonderfully gifted, right amount of soul, in rock. But more on him in another edition.

The trick here is simple - listen to the song, when you are loyal to listening. Not multitasking. And the god-is-in-the-detail will show its truth, even if you're a non-believer. Then lyrics are great, but what upends them is the part where there are no words. Small instruments play in the background of an acoustic shower. It will space out your hurried mind. 

See how many instruments you can identify !

Revival

Not forgotten, just a brief interlude of silence, which everyone in love with something or somone must endure, sometime. It makes the bond stronger, it makes the heart lighter.

I endured mine. I am ready for a ride again !

Which tells me - there is nothing called unrequited love. It either overpowers or it just simply eventually vanquishes. 

Here is a track that I feel the revival of this music collective should be marked with. It's an original soundtrack of a movie which is a testimony of the overpowering love in passion - Fifty Shades of Grey. I don't know how the movie will be, but his song has all my votes. It is called "Haunted" and the beats will truly haunt you, as will the voice of the lead singer. It is a rather unknown band from London, called the Heart Strings. You don't have to look for them. 

But try this, and came back to love !

PS : this is also sung by Beyonce, equally haunting.
