A painful memory awoken by the rain falling outside:
Dekho baarish ho rahi hai
(It’s raining, it’s raining, it’s raaaaaining)
Mera dil roh rahaa hai
(It’s paining, it’s paining, it’s paaaaaaining)
I think the name of the album was “I-Yai-Oh”. Or was it “Eyes”? Anu Malik on DD2, saying – “You listen to Rahman’s songs in two different languages. My songs sound equally good in English.” Proceeds to sing – You make me feel a virgin. ( Tu-ru-ru. Tu-ru-ru )
Die. Die. DIE!!!
Personal rain-song list:
Rim-jhim Rim-jhim – 1942 – A Love Story.
Boondon se Baatein – Thakshak.
Singin in the Rain – Gene Kelly.
Listen to the Rhythm(Of the Falling Rain) – The Cascades.
Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head – BJ Thomas.
Indian Rain – Colonial Cousins.
Barkha Ritu – Three Brothers and a Violin.
Ab Ke Saawan – Shubha Mudgal.
Why Does It Always Rain on Me? – Travis.
Personal rain-related line that comes to mind –
(English accent) Baarish ya no baarish, British Raj ko Champaner mein apna chhavni barkaraar rakhni hai, etc etc. – Paul Blackthorne (Lagaan)
One more personal rain-related line that comes to mind –
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
There is joy and pain
but the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
Pretty-plain, loonv-sane
The ways of the world all will change
and all the ways remain the same
but if you’re mad or only sane
the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
We walk in love but fly in chains
And the planes in Spain fall mainly in the rain.
-Stephen King (The Gunslinger)
Addendum: New additions to the song list:-
Cryin’ In The Rain – The Everly Brothers. (courtesy varshax)
Tip Tip Tip Tip Baarish – Afsana Pyaar Ka.
There was a nice song from Sir – called Sun Sun Sun Barsaat ki Dhun Sun, but I don’t remember too much about it….just the first line.
OMG! that song was the worst. He hit a all time low.. even by Anu Maliks standards.. haha and what crap about AR Rahman.
:-) That guy just doesn’t learn….
ah yes! It’s time to make a rain.m3u.
My playlist will include Uriah Heep’s Rain, a lovely number. Try it if you already haven’t heard it. (I doubt it, though…Your taste for music seems to be as wide and deep as it gets!)
No, Uriah Heep is one band I haven’t heard too much of. Will definitely check out Rain, if I find it…
hmm
Brings to mind two more …….. “Crying in the rain” by the Everly Brothers ……… and ….
“Rain is falling – Chhama-chham-chham” !!!
:D
Re: hmm
*Slaps head* How could I forget the Everly Brothers number?
Also remembered – “Tip tip tip baarish shuru ho gayi”? Gotta add that to my list.
And “Tip tip barsaa paani”, won’t go into the list because I hate Udit going “doo doo doo doo doo dooba”. :-D
:-) “Rain is falling” reminds me of a poem in a Target story, which is a guy’s feeble atempt to explain to his teacher why he is late for school –
“Dear sir, rain is falling chhama-cham-cham. Ek pair phisla to gir gaya hum. How could I come?”
Cracked me up the first time I read it.
and then there’s madonna’s rain…
:-( Haven’t heard it, yet. Which album?
Dekho Baarish Ho Raha Hai and Rain is Falling really take the romance out of rains.
You said it!
Dont know whether this counts …
Here comes the rain again -Eurythmics
Just walking in the rain – Johnnie Ray
Re: Dont know whether this counts …
Haven’t heard either of them. I think I might have listened to the Eurythmics song once though…used to be part of the standard mp3 collections in our college. ;-)
