Slow Down

It's a series I am starting to share some beautiful songs which we might have heard before but never really paid attention to the lyrics. So let's slow down and pay attention.

Maine yeh bhi socha hai aksar

Tu bhi main bhi sabhi hai sheeshe

Khudhi ko hum sabhi mein dekhein

Nahin hoon main hoon main toh phir bhi

Sahi galat, tumhara main

Mujhe paana, paana hai khud ko

- Jo bhi Main, Rockstar

All the songs from this album are beautiful, this specific verse is one of my favourite from this song because it talks about what I see in you is a reflection of myself.

Jism ki baat nahi thi, unke dil tak jaana tha

Lambi doori, tay karne mein, waqt to lagta hai..

Pyaar ka pehla khat likhne mein, waqt to lagta hai

- Pyaar Ka Pehla Khat, Jagjit Singh

One of the classics, one of my favourite lines from the songs is this, emphasizing the importance of reaching to the heart instead of just external beauty. And it takes time to reach there.

Whatever grows will grow,

Whatever dies will die

Whatever works will work

Whatever flies will fly,

Whatever fails will fail

What’s meant to soar will soar,

I am planting seeds nothing more

- Planting Seed, Nimo Patel

One of the most meaningful singers I know of, in this particular song, Nimo talks about the importance of doing good deeds and not expecting any results, as our job is to plant seeds.
