Every heard a song and thought it was made just for you or the situation your in? Many of us have such songs which every time we listen to it takes us back to a certain place or may remind us of a certain someone. Music is said to bring back emotions that we hide somewhere inside us. I read a book recently by jodi picoult called sing you home which talks about the effect of music on people. Although the people she was trying to reach out too had serious issues we dont realise what music does to us in our day to day lives. I have always been very discreet about my music playlist..never lend my ipod and not even let a friend look through my itunes list. Sometimes i feel that maybe i dont fit in a particular clique cause i dont listen to popular english music. My friends and family all are major english music buffs and i choose to find my solace in hindi music. For someone who comes from an english speaking family and loves to read i cant really connect to english music. The ones i do may be old country songs, boy bands or the new age woman singing about life. But these arent revolutionary or out of box like hw people who like rnb or old school rock may listen to crazy artists. But on the other hand if u ask me about hindi songs i would know the lyrics to almost every song ever..even the ones that were made before i was born. Theres just something about listening to those beats or how those lyrics effect me. Maybe its the language and the way each word sounds so perfect no matter if it a love song or a party song. Its not like im completely illiterate when it comes to english music but on a very typical day when im lazing in bed or on the train to uni i would automatically plug my ipod into some cheesy hindi song which makes me smile all the way. At the moment also i have this youtube playlist playing in the background which 78 Udit Narayan songs ( which is on Pehla Nasha right now-one of the evergreen romantic songs).
Another thing about me listening to music is i automatically go into picturing mode..if its a party or very dancing type song i can litterally visualise an entire scene in my head which involves me in such a situation..mind u with proper outfits and group and all. If i hear a romantic song i think about a certain someone or imagine someone singing that for me. All these are serious traits of being a drama queen and maybe somewhere deep down i am. I love the stage, i love the romance and i love the music and dancing. Now only if i could just break out and tell the world this :)
