Tagging on the blog with music

That was a wonderful win and memorable night. Wasn’t it? With the ultimate joy in my heart, I continue with the tag on movies, music and books. So here are the songs which I like to the core of my heart:

Vande Mataram – Yes, Bankim Chandra wrote this beautiful patriotic national song about more than a century ago. Considered to be national song of India, the meaning and relevance of the song has been lost somewhere with the new generation. Here are two versions of the song, which I like the most – one sung by Lata Mangeshkar in a movie and another composed by the great A. R. Rahman.

Itni shakti hame dena – Never thought, this prayer was originally a part of a hindi movie, until I found some years back. Very close to my heart since my childhood. A prayer which fills the heart with hope, faith, serenity and inspiration. Truly wonderful.

Smile an everlasting smile – Words are all I have to take heart away. The song speaks volumes of feelings for people in love. An all-time super hit songs from Boyzone. As I write, I can hum the entire song. Here is a live performance from Boyzone of the immortal song.

Har ghadi badal rahi hai – Title song from the movie Kal ho na ho. The movie was a remake of all-time great movie Anand and the song perfectly demonstrates the message of living life to the fullest. Sung by Sonu Nigam in his trademark voice, the song can be watched here.

Akele hai to kya gham hai – Wow, what a song! A beautiful love song from late 80s. The song is a favourite for all those in love. The soothing tune of the song takes the mood to a different level of joy.

Love me for a reason – Another beauty from Boyzone. I could say no more about the song. Please enjoy a live performance of the song. To be continued…
