Music touches one’s soul, I am sure many would be in agreement with me. Dance is my passion and music is something which chose me that’s what I feel. I developed a liking to listening and singing songs because it was been taught in the school. I am an amateur I did not pursue it further ahead in life however, I keep my love going on by listening and singing at home with my family. My partner and my kiddo both enjoy singing so I can say we make a great team at home 🙂
Thanks to Anaaya we kind of get updated of the latest songs which are popular in Bollywood films and music albums. I see a surge of music albums since the last year, some of them are good. When it comes to our Bollywood films, the trend is quite different. Every decade in Bollywood films kind of had its own individualist music sense. We have had some great musicians and lyricists who have composed music that still remains fresh in our minds.
The question which is open for debate is about the current music trends – lyrics, tunes and song. My take on it is that the lyrics of most of the songs don’t make any sense to me and there is a dearth of songs which will remain in our minds for a longer duration, unlike older times. We had some stalwarts in the decades gone by – Mohd. Rafi Sahab and Kishore Kumar songs are evergreen, when we need to introspect we can always look forward to some ghazals by Jagjit Singhji and Pankaj Udhasji while, Pancham Da gave us some lifetime memorable songs. Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosale have been veterans for so many decades however, in 80s and 90s we had Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and many more.
Every decade gave us some soulful music, something to remember. Irrespective of when we were born I am confident that most of us would have our favourites across different decades which we still love to remember for every mood and season. Whether this sentiment holds for the current decade songs I am not so sure. I look forward to knowing your thoughts on this subject, it will surely help me gain newer perspectives.
Recently we went to a musical program which had Mohd. Rafi and Kishore Kumar songs. It was the first time when we took our 4 yr. old for such a programme. This also became the prime reason for finally making me write my thoughts which was on my mind for a very long time about the Bollywood music we have been exposed to.
As expected the songs were pretty new for her, however, at the end of the show she did pick up few songs by their tunes.
As parents we have consciously taken steps to introduce old songs to Anaaya, what the future holds we have no idea however, we do intent to expose her to old melodies which we feel is the real gold.
