Random Five

So its been some time since I have added any songs here and the fact is that nothing that has come out lately has excited me enough to share it here. But as they say the show must go on and to keep it going here are five random songs which obviously I listen to every now and then. So lets get this started -

5. Junoon - Khudi Ko Kar Bulund
Junoon took Iqbal's already famous poem to another level when they made a rock song out of it. The purist cried murder yet a sixteen year old with no interest in Urdu poetry started noticing that lyrics do mean something and that poetry was not lame.



4. Shaan - Tanha Dil
I have to admit when I first heard Shaan I was not a fan, although Love-o-logy while being peppy was very.....for the lack of a better word...ordinary. But then he matured, the music matured, the songs were much better and then came this and mind you this isn't his very best either.



3. Amr Diab - Tamally Ma'ak
Ok if you don't have an idea who this is then you must be aware of the Indian version of this song "Kaho na Kaho" but it was this dude who sang the original version and has been around for quite some time now. His other song "Habibi Ya Noor El Ain" is another favourite.
(I did mention random didn't I? :) )



2. Aaroh - Ajnabi
Now this one shot to fame with the cover version of the song from Vital Sign in a music competition to unearth the underground band and I don't think anyone has even close to better this cover. Even the die hard Vital Sign fans agree on this one.



1. Shafqat Amanat Ali - Ankhian
Versatility personified are the words that come to mind when you compare this with a "Khamaj" or a "Mitwa" with the tempo so different yet the voice enchants you over the music.
