"Angels On The Moon" By Thriving Ivory MY RATING : 10/10 Reflections One of those tracks that makes you ponder over your own life and life in this world. Touching to the deepest core of your heart... Everytime I feel down, I pick out and play this track from the innermost corners of my harddisk... A song that depicts the life of New Yorkers after the 9/11 incident... I wonder why such tracks aren't made in India (even if made are gone unnoticed...)   LYRICS Do you dream that the world will know your name? So tell me your name Do you care about all the little things or anything at all? I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside I wanna feel I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive To know I'm alive Don't tell me if I'm dying 'Cause I don't wanna know If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming Of angels on the moon Where everyone you know Never leaves too soon

DAY OF RAIN MY RATING : 9.2/10 Thriving Ivory ... I wonder why these guys aren't striking gold with their painfully sinful lyrics and wet music. I just love them... Here's one of my favorites by this band... "Day Of Rain" Late again Guilt free in the middle of the pouring rain Hair's a mess she said Would you mind if I spent the night alone? 3am she's up said It's not you and it never was Packs her things she's gone where? That place I'll never know Somewhere in the middle of the pouring rain I wake up late Sometimes I wish I never woke up at all And I contemplate I guess maybe I'm better off alone I'm gonna leave this place I guess winter got the best of us this year And the sky's a mess I'll run out in the middle of the pouring rain When the day is done and you're not here again When the day is done and you're not here again When the day is done and you're not here again I&

Jo Bhi Main [ Rockstar OST] Music Director: A R Rahman Lyricist: Irshad Kamil Singer(s): Mohit Chauhan Director: Imtiaz Ali Producer: Dhillin Mehta Banner: Eros Entertainment, Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri, Aditi Rao Hydari MY RATING – 9/10 Reflections The song that gets the movie kickstarted! The progressive masterpiece from the master of all masterpieces...AR Rahman! The humming bareness of Mohit Chauhan's voice has been used splendidly by the Master in this track, rather in each of the dozen tracks rendered by Mohit Chauhan for this Movie's soundtrack. The way the track begins in a confused oscillation depicting the different stages in his lives where Jordan (Ranbir's character in the movie) bumbles over his guitar..striking few chords in and out of his fingertips, to get things right... As appalling as the music are the lyrics of this song (once again.. I would say for all the songs in this album!).... thankfu

ROCKSTAR Director : Imtiaz Ali Music : AR Rahman Lyrics : Irshad Kamil Cast : Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis Fakhri, Shammi Kapoor, Aditi Rao Every time Imtiaz Ali makes a movie, I get filled with extreme curiosity and a vigorous will to watch the movie on the first day itself! Socha na tha created that urge and Jab we met only elevated it. Maybe, it’s the soul-touching music along with the soul-rendered lyrics that give rise to such an urge. Or maybe it’s the impression his movies create in the first trailer itself! But as long as the film justifies the expectations, you don’t want to blame anyone. However, when the film doesn’t live upto that hype, the level of liquid descends in your heart. Love Aaj Kal, despite my craze for the movie’s lead pair & the song DOORIYAN, I ended up spitting at the movie after watching it once. The reason??? Simple enough, the director promised something in his trailers & the songs, but the movie failed to nurture and reap what it had promised. It

Adolecents Album : If not now, then? Artist : Incubus  MY RATING : 9/10   Reflections from directlyrics.com American rock band Incubus are back! Nearly five years after their last studio work "Light Grenades" in 2006, the Brandon Boyd-led group have announced the release of their seventh album aptly titled "If Not Now, When?" scheduled to hit stores worldwide on July 12th, 2011 LYRICS I'm feeling out of bounds, out of bounds I'm running out of time, out of time I know there's no such thing as either of them But its doesn't make me feel any better Out of sight, out of mind Out of sight, out of mind We're out of time We're out of mind Out of mind Out of mind Yeah, yeah I’m feeling overwhelmed, overwhelmed It’s getting out of line, line, line I know I’m not alone Just adolescents, you and I It doesn’t make me feel any better Out of sight, out of mind Out of sight, out of mind We're out of time We're out

Stay The Night (James Blunt) Some Kind of Trouble MY RATING - 8.9/10 "Stay The Night" Ooooooh, Oooooooh, Ooooooh, hey! It’s 72 degrees Zero chance of rain It’s been a perfect day We’re all spinning on our heels So far away from real In California We watched the sunset from our car We all took it in And by the time that it was dark You and me had something, yeah! And if this is what we’ve got Then what we’ve got is gold We’re shining bright and I want you I want you to know The morning’s on it’s way Our friends all say goodbye There’s nowhere else to go I hope that you’ll stay the night Ooooooh, you'll stay the night Ooooooh, yeah! We’ve been singing Billie Jean Mixin’ vodka with caffeine We’ve got strangers stopping by And though you’re out of tune Girl you blow my mind, you do And I’ll say as I don’t wanna say good night There’s no quiet corner To get to know each other And there’s no hurry I’m a patient man is your discover

Half Of My Heart Performed by : John Mayer feat Taylor Swift Album : Battlestudies Genre : Country/Love Ballad/Alternative Rock Best Time Listen to this song : When you are driving alone on cross country highway or at night  MY RATING : 9.5/10  Reflections The regular followers of my blog must be quite aware by now that I'm obsessed with Mohit Chauhan...err..I mean..his songs! :P But there is a reason to this. Whenever I hear Mohit's songs...I am reminded of this great Blues Rock/Pop/Country musician from the West----John Mayer.... I loved his previous album Continuum, but kinda felt that he won't be able to come up with anything better now. He's proved me wrong....released last year (2009).....his album-BATTLESTUDIES' third single HALF OF MY HEART has won my heart....the full heart... This song creates a great mood....and the lyrics simply leave you in thoughts....it's best to listen to this while driving alone on a country road during daytime.....o
