Thanks to you all for sharing your memories. That brought me back to Daud, after years, maybe more than a decade.
though o bhanwre had became most popular, and zahreela pyar had attracted quite attention due to its different style of singing and picturization, and shabba was also liked by many, I personally liked and still like title song of daud very much, was it by Usha Uthup?, Ajab daud hai, there is a liveliness in this song, quite earthly song, practical, lots of lyrics, sudden switches between hindi and punjabi i guess. it goes more like a story, and it does contain several "social issues" elements in its lyris that I liked very much in early ARR and miss a lot nowadays, the type given by Mehboob and PKMishra. Mature commanding heavy voice of the singer added a weightage to what she is saying, so it sounded more real. It is more a parody or caricature of Indian rather human life, the way humans have distorted it to pursue earthly pleasures, giving up what high objectives god might have had while making us. This song always touches me. I often hear it in look and get drowned in it. I always feel sad that there are not many takers of such songs, and may be that's the reason, ARR has not given any further song like that. thanks. -- Rawat On 7/26/2010 10:24 AM India Time, _Sai Theodore_ wrote: > i still remember the day when Daud was released. we were a group in > college who used to follow ARR's every release and at that time almost > all in the group were thoroughly disappointed by this album and I was > the lone one in the group who picked this song and asked the guys to > check it back after a few years and comment on it.
