Black Balloon  Goo Goo Dolls DIzzy Up the Girl MY RATING - 9/10 Reflections from Wikipedia Black Balloon is the third single released from the Dizzy Up the Girl album by the Goo Goo Dolls This song, according to the band's frontman Johnny Rzeznik, is about a woman with a heroin addiction and how her lover is desperately trying to save her. He has also said that it is about "seeing someone you love that is so great just screw up so bad." Speculation as to the song's subject has included bassist Robby Takac's ex-wife (who overdosed on heroin). Like many other songs by the Goo Goo Dolls, "Black Balloon" uses an unusual alternate tuning. Several electric guitars used in the introduction and the acoustic rhythm guitar are tuned to an open D-flat fifth chord. The video for the song opens with a woman blowing smoke into a soap bubble (a "black balloon"). The video then changes focus and shows various scenes from a 50s or 60s era swim club while

Aakrosh / आक्रोश Filmed by - Priyadarsan Produced by - Kumar Mangat Pathak Starring - Ajay Devgun, Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Bipasha Basu, Reema Sen, Amita Pathak Music - Pritam Lyrics - Irshad Kamil DOP - Thiru Genre - Action/Thriller/Drama My Expectations' Rating - 7.9/10 Reflections Well, the genre is clear- Pure action and some are over the top, just like in T amil flicks. Priyadarsan returns to the action genre after almost a decade and half.We last saw him making Gardish which starred Jackie Shroff. The funny thing is that despite making an action flick, the Priyan film doesn't star Akshay Kumar which is quite surprising for he had featured in almost all the recent slapstick idiotic comedies of Priyadarsan and when finally he has made this Action film....LO! There's no Akshay Kumar...instead there is his second favourite Akshaye Khanna. Ajay Devgun has sizzled once again...the female lead played by Bipasha..Reema and the producer's daughter- Ami

Kilimanjaro / किलिमंजारो Robot OST Music - AR Rahman Singers - Javed Ali, Chinmayi, Clinton Cerejo Lyrics - Swanand Kirkire MY RATINGS - 9.9/10 REFLECTIONS I must confess...this post was the most difficult one that I have created for this blog! First I had to go through each word at least 10 times before I could write it down...which is a mammoth task especially when you don't feel like pausing when it's playing! Such is the song's effect on you.... And then..the translation!!! OMG!!! What is this song!!! Meaningless!.... There are words from PUNJABI...BANGLA...HINDI....TAMIL...SANSKRIT...and AFRICAN dialects...!!!!! This song has literaly has no meaning in hindi at least....but who should care about the meaning...when you have such catchy and crazy lyrics and an AWESOME...(read AMAZING and WILD!) tune.....the drums....the voice of Javed Ali and the African hummings n chants during the transition! OOOOOOOOO! oh ho ko....ko go go! lol! it's amazing....With an

Artist: Bryan Luke Song: Rain Is A Good Thing Album: Doin' My Thing Genre : Country My Rating - 9/10 LYRICS My daddy spent his life lookin' up at the sky He'd cuss, kick the dust, sayin' son it's way too dry It clouds up in the city, the weather man complains But where I come from, rain is a good thing (Chorus) Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky Back roads are boggin' up, my buddies pile up in my truck We hunt our honeys down, we take 'em into town Start washin' all our worries down the drain Rain is a good thing Ain't nothin' like a kiss out back in the barn Wringin' out our soakin' clothes, ridin' out a thunderstorm When tin roof gets to talkin'; that's the best love we made Yea where I come from, rain is a good thing Repeat Chorus (Bridge) Farmer Johnson does a little dance Creeks on the rise, roll up your pants Country girls, they wanna cuddle Ki

Girl in the Moon Darius Dive In My Rating - 9.2/10 This is one of my all time favourites...what starts out as an out and out romantic ballad fades out like a celestial lullaby....Sung by UK Pop idol contestant, Darius Danesh...this has gotta be one of the best from the year of its release.... " Girl in the Moon " is the fourth and final single from Darius Danesh's debut album, Dive In . "Girl in the Moon" is about the idea that we all have a guardian angel. Darius has said it was inspired by the fans who stood by him when he was struggling to hit the big time. The video is shot in black and white and shows Darius and his band members rehearsing in a studio for a gig. The video also cuts away to show Darius walking the streets looking for someone. "Girl In The Moon" Lyrics How can I sleep tonight? Tell me how mars survived Fallen with stars - She opened her arms... Venus was in my sky. How could it pass me by? You silently served m

You saw the Hindi version....now sit back...n get ready for the tamil version of Raavan....... RAAVANAN......Vikram dons the role of Veera.......the man with 10 minds.....a hundred names.................... The best part of the teaser is the ending...where Vikram exclaims...." PATHU THALAI.......RAAVANAN"......(10 heads....raavan!) somehow...I feel that Vikram's VEERA would be much more energetic than Abhishek's BEERA........

Gone Forever By - Three Days Grace Album - One-X (2006) Genre - Rock/Metal My Rating - 9/10 Reflections Awesome song, powerful lyrics and extreme energy which is not intolerable like those other bands who make less music and more noises! This song has a very peachy feeling to it, which makes it very close to my heart. Well, I would have never listened to this song, hadn't I exchanged my jukebox with a friend's! Thanks Dheeraj, but dog! it aint Linkin Park (yea that's what u said, when I asked about the artist!). Lyrics Don't know what's going on Don't know what went wrong Feels like a hundred years I still can't believe you're gone So, I'll stay up all night With these bloodshot eyes While these walls surround me With the story of our life I feel so much better Now, that you're gone forever I tell myself that I don't Miss you at all I'm not lying, denying That I feel so much better now That you're gone forever Now,

Whats more perfect? Rahman's composition....Kalyani's lyrics...or Benny's vocals?...Rahman deserves unprecedented credits....but I don't think stripping off Benny
