Music; May be my light!

In my darkest hours,

The times which I love the most,

I play it, I let it beat.

Letting my heart call out my self

from the depth of solitude,

I relish my self,

as Music,

May be my light,

which brings me to life.

The sound system

Dhuz dhuz it goes and my heart goes dhak dhak dhak

I love music

YES I DO

Groove

Groove as the lights begin to dim

Groove as the music starts to pour

Groove as the spots turn red

Groove as the beats take over

Groove while the lights flood the floor

filling the empty space with their flourescent glow...

...Let yourself go, and just Groove...

Story of a divine lover

Mullah maar na mein kojhri koon

Meinkoon apna yaar manawan dey

O pious one, do not hit me

Let me appease my Friend

By becoming a musician (marasi), I won’t become a lesser mortal

Let me pacify Him by the blissful sound

that arises from my instrument

Let me become a mystic for my Beloved

the one who forgets everything in love

Let me put a rosary in my neck

which may hinder my false appearance

Let me live as a divine lover

As to you; I'll forever belong

Strings

The light began to dim...

Light music starts,

Feet tapping slowly,

as the strings of guitar vibrate...

Sound of camera clicking...

Suddenly the drums shouted in agape,

Like the sound of thunder...

With it lights flood the stage...

Filling the empty space with their roar,

Creating a die for atmosphere...

Every string a different color, a different voice...

You Could Be Happy

It's okay to sleep now. It's all quiet. You can hear the blood running through your veins. And I sing in tune to it, voicing my sweet I love you's, in this song, that means everything to me, and maybe nothing to you. 

*sings*

"You could be happy and I won't know

But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said

Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were

But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure

I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are

You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you

And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to

Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl

Take a glorious bite out of the whole world "

So, HAS it gotten through to you yet? Or has sleep claimed you too quickly for you to get the point? Whatever it is You could be happy and I hope you are.....

*Silently walks away*

Wind Chime

Harmony

To all that hear

A song in the air

The sound agree with the time

And place

An attractive sound

A gentle tinkle

A gentle wind

Ding ding

And my wind chime rings

Music to me

What is music?

Music is everything... It is true, false, right, wrong. For me it is the cage that holds me outside of a world ruled by those who can't know me... It is my one true freedom; the world speaks to me in pictures, my soul answers in music.

Yes, this is music to me

Soulful

Music fills the infinite between two souls

The Concert

As lights begin to dim
and the music starts to pour
the drums pounding rhythimically
like the sound of thunder
lights flooding the stage
filling the empty space with their flourescent glow...
...Hence, begins the concert without further ado

Let the music play

Life has its music; let us seek a way - not to jangle the chords whereon we play.

So let the music play .....

Let the beats take control

No, this time i won't say any poetic words, nor i'll say anything which would sound anywhere near to concept. Neither i'll say that this has a meaning, nor i'll say that the words have some magic in it, but the thing which i have to say is BUHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Exams over and am back with a bang, so let the music take control, let the drums beat, aur rang bhar dey!! Zindagi main.......

Picture inspired by the song Rang bhar dey - Atif Aslam
