Song Review: Piya Ghar Aayenge...

Album: Chaandan Mein

Label: Sony Music

Music: Kailash-Paresh-Naresh (This band is called Kailasa)

Lyrics: Kailash Kher

Vocals: Kailesh Kher

The first thing you are bound to observe when the first few words of the song hit your ear drum is the sincerity with which it is sung. Yes, it has been sung by Kailash and mind you this is not in high-pitch (like majority of his songs). It shifts between low and medium-high pitch. The second thing that will strike you is the mood of the song, that will make you think about it. The words “Aaj mere piya ghar aayenge...” are supposed to be in very high spirits. But, they are not. Also, the lyrics do not suggest that she is sad. Yes, this is yet another song Kailash sings for a woman just like ‘Teri deewani’ and many others. This makes you wonder why the lady then is not rip-the-sky happy. Is she tired of waiting for him? Is she not really sure that he will come? Let your imagination run wild. The song itself does not answer the question.

This is the most beautiful song of the album to say the least. Kailash’s soul-piercing vocals interspersed with soft soul-stirring flute interludes clubbed with a number of other musical instruments (mostly Indian) and a non-interfering rhythm make this a must-listen. The enigmatic lyrics along with the composition make you root for the protagonist of the song. When the song ends, you will feel the devoid left by its ending. Trust me, the solution is simple. Just hit the play button again and put it in repeat mode.

Other outstanding songs in the album (of 10 songs with one song from Kailasa (their first album), “Albela Saajan” included): Chaandan mein, Teri yaad mein, Kar kar main haara, Rang rang ma.

nice post..would have been great if there was a link to hear it. I believe you perfeclty know how difficult it is to get songs of such albums. Would love to hear and comment you know. The only song that comes to my mind when you talk about Khailash Kher is "Maula Mere..Maula Mere.." wah! kya song hai!

Moving on nice tweaking done, the stat counter, label categories, etc. These are the signs of revival, ain't it? Then why 1 post milord?

Or is it to be understood that this moves at your own timings and you don't, say as an expression of feelings. As a budding writer I would suggest blog few articles about daily or fictional things..it would help you..and ya faster in future

excellent track man, had this album for months and never bothered hearing any track other than na batati tu. That song is just so naughty. Piya ghar aavenge is an all time favorite now, right up there with nusrat's mera piya ghar aya and akhiyaan udeek diyan.
@nikvad: the song is arziyan from the movie dilli 6
