Day 22 of #musicalmarch🎵
Today I bring you the song of another artist, gone too soon. I do love a good Prince Song! This was such a mellow song, and I wished someone would sing it to me!
The second track for today is a song from the film Dhadkan. This song was sung by the late Qawali singer, Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He was an amazing singer, and I count myself very fortunate to have been able to see him live. This song is about a girl getting married, and how the heartbeat of a family almost leaves them as the girl leaves. This was played at my reception, and my Pops sang it to me as we danced… I was in tears, as you could imagine… Actually listening to it now, my eyes are moist… Check out the translation at 4.43 mins and maybe you’ll understand…
Which tracks bring out emotion in you?

Oh, my heart!
I got misty myself, reading what you wrote about your reception, then checking out the lyrics. sniffle sniffle
One song that never fails to make me a bit weepy (although it’s such a peppy song) is “Dance in the Graveyards” by Delta Rae. In fact, my screen seems to be a bit blurry all of a sudden…

Prince was an amazingly talented man and had so many stylish hits.
Bittersweet and touching song from that movie Sister. When she turned back and looked at her father…what a touching moment ❤

First I only listened to it, I did not really feel the meaning of course. But I watched the whole video again and understand absolutely what you mean! So touching it must have been for you… for everyone!!! Did you live with your parents till the day of marriage? Just came to my mind. Because then the song is even more impactful!

Yay! Thanks Ritu! Prince was kind of weird about sharing his music online but I understand. I would have to say “Purple Rain” is a song that brings a lot of emotion to me.
