The Color of Music

Props to Vish for referring a great song - "Banwari Piya Ki", from Baabul. I heard this song and immediately fell in love with it.

The music immediately evokes colors in your mind - lush reds, shimmering golds, peacock blues and greens...

And its story throbs with emotions ranging from gentle love and delirious obsession, to heart-breaking pain and desperation, and above all a sense of prolonged waiting.

Beautifully composed, written and sung...

Banwari piya ki
Ka se kahe jaake peer jiya ki

Piyu rang mann ki chunar rangaai
Piyu piyu rat ke piyu mein samaai
Bangayi chhaaya chhal baliyan ki

Ith uth dekhe panth nihaare
Har din palchhin naam pukaare
Sud nahin bisare mann basiya ki
