The best songs are the ones that you come across completely by chance, and then at some point later on they will haunt you...not the whole song but maybe a part of the tune, a phrase of the lyrics, and drive you mad!
Not the propaganda songs:I read somewhere that big labels push songs into people's minds. They keep on playing it in repeat mode and finally even a song that you hated once will stick with you eventually... but i am not talking about them ...am referring to songs which you may hear just once:in a wedding somewhere or in someone's car when they drop you off, on a random listening to FM or while you are having a coffee in an obscure shop...
and then when nothing is going on in your mind you will hum that tune and try to work backwards as to where you have heard it before.
So for me, I heard this song in all those places but just fleetingly....in a coffee shop the first time. I asked them about it but they said they didn't know Sh*t. (rather they didn't give a Sh*t)... next I was randomly listening to "The Wicked Hour" on FM at night and this came up...i remember i wanted so badly to memorize the lyrics so that i could ask my friends or Google but couldn't ...and before i could even enjoy the song it was gone. I think i tried mailing the RJ as well...
In another act of randomness I heard this song in the background of a commercial for Incredible India. And so i downloaded the YouTube video, converted into audio and played it repeat mode over and over and over... hoping that some day i will find where this came from... I asked on the YouTube link what the song was...someone gave me a hint that its a Buddha bar song...but cruelly didn't tell me which one...I explored/searched on Wikipedia on YouTube on every f*^king website the list of Buddha bar albums and songs... phew...
I took a chance then and asked another crazy music listener friend of mine about it ...she did give me a link which was quite close to the song but was not exactly what i had heard...it was then that i lost hope and deleted the song in an attempt to forget it....
Life is what happens when you least expect it...
Year 2015 and Trip to Malaysia...after a day on the beach there we were relaxing on a restaurant called Champor Champor and eating over priced food and was about to check in when...I heard this woman's strong rough voice, the obscure lyrics and the fusion music...Gaaaawwwd! It really is a finite world!
Finally! ....My longest blog so far is dedicated to the lengthiest search for a song "Bombay Pure"by Buddha Bar... Here is the song and the actual Incredible India video which i had put on repeat mode....Hope it haunts you the way it haunted me:
