Many songs in Hindi movies help move the story forward, or add on to the feeling of the moment when simple dialogues are not enough and require a larger than life depiction...my favorite example is the song "Main Kya Hoon" in Love Aaj Kal, it shows Saif Ali Khan's excitement at first and then over time his frustration, in doing the exact same things. It beautifully conveys how when the excitement of a new city wears off we start to feel lonely in the big city.
However more often than not these songs are included just like a doormat ...or an item song...., änd so even if a Hindi film is bad, most of us can sit through it if the music is good... a fact misused by the Dabang et al film directors.
And so it was in my experience as well that if an English/foreign language film is boring/bad...its a pain that can not be endured...simply because there is no song and dance to move it forward. However, when music is used to its true potential in films irrespective of the language it adds on to the substance and nostalgia of the film..and so I present the OST-special-post for song of the never playlist....
1. The OST that I am currently listening to is from the TV series "Wuthering Heights"... considered a romantic classic by everyone, I read it when i was barely 14 and though I couldn't stop thinking about the hateful characters ( i hated Catherine more than anyone) it was never my favorite...
And then i discovered the BBC TV Series of 2009; and it was so perfect..after ages i saw something that is not just romantic but haunting and pulls strings of my heart! haha! how dramatic...but it does!
Here goes ..the sinister and beautiful OST :

2.Is it all love stories? I hope not...but I loved the trailer of Twilight and the sexy , beautiful , haunting songs that were played...It was perfect...before it became overloaded with all the imprinting and volturi and werewolves and what not...
Twilight Trailer
When i saw the movie there is a particular piece called Bella's Song which kept playing in my mind and in my playlist. Its the music i listen to when i want some work get done or when i want to feel creative :) here it is:
3. God knows that Jane Austen has had an indelible impact on me... and of course the first love story I ever read was Pride and Prejudice. Now this novel has been subjected to maximum adaptations more than any other Jane Austen novel.. and this one i saw was most recent in a movie starring Kiera Knightley. The opening sequence and the music that plays when early in the morning she goes for a walk and just lets the sun shine on her face...clearing her thoughts and clearing her thinking... needless to say... i love it!
