Kailash kher - Teri Deewani

This song is a sheer treat.. Very few singers can sing this song (which is a sorta sufi and soft rock fusion) better than Kailesh kher.. He has a great control over his voice (sur, shruti etc). This is reflected in all his songs and Teri Deewani is no exception.. Although initially my conservative mind refused to accept the song, when someone told me about it. As I saw the video, i started lifting all the reservations against it.

You have a purview of various people in love going about their daily motions of professing their love for their special someone, whilst the background is filled with his unique earthy tone and hi-pitched, yet throaty raspy voice (with some added counters.. ). The rest is filled with excellent combination of back vocals, base guitaring, all kept in supreme melodious synchronization by the drumming! Everything seems to have been blended perfectly into the song..

Full credit goes to the video’s director and the guy who came up with the idea of the video. It’s so human. So, "relatable" ! Another striking thing is the girl dancing in the fast fading dusky sun, with the fireworks in the background. It is simply divine!!

There’s something about his songs that really captivate you. Their lyrics seems to transcend me to another place.(Although I don’t "really" think I understand ‘em!! ;-) )
