gRand echo, the mesmerizing voice of Kay Kay, and a harmonizing vocalist; and begins the song from Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein. It is called (the title of the article).
After this ''harmonic'' start, it stops for seconds, and enters the percussion along with the Sitar piece. And with a roll on keys, appears Mr. Krishnakanth again (KK, that is). The first stanza is full with good vocals, soulful keys, terrific beats, claps, and a damn good bass. The man is describing his pain, as his beloved betrays him (but, my work, here, is not to have a say on the lyrics of a song).
As the first stanza ends, an overlapping flute piece takes over, in a Rahmani style. And I am serious when I say that it sounds very AR Rahman'istic. The notes' loops are in the same way. But, the song doesn't belong to Mr. Academy Award; it does so to an ex-partner of his. Harris Jayaraj, the composer of this elegant song, used to program scores and percussion, and play keyboard for Rahman. After assisting him, and many other Tamil composers, Jayaraj went on composing Tamil songs for himself. He has got National Awards for Tamil songs. But by now, he has just two Hindi movies' musics to his credit, of which, RHTDM's is the only one, with which most of us are familiar.
Getting back to the song-in-the-limelight, as the loops end, the Sitar re-enters, with a high flute-note fading out. The second stanza takes off with a sootheing keys' backing. The lyrics are, still, saying the same story.
As the second verse ends, there's that Opera style chorus of female singers. Abruptly halts this part, and a ticking sound gives way to the softer vocalists. A piano takes us to the stanza number 2. The same-way-backing exists, this time with an added piano (and as we all do know, Piano rocks!). As the stanza dies, vocal harmonists show their mettle (might be a wrong word, but still...my way, you see :)) by giving a totally new feel to the song. There is nothing very special about the climax of the song, except for the same keys' roll, as was in the beginning.
cOnclusion---
Harris Jayaraj has created a song that has everything that a hurt lover requires to depress himself; on both the lyrical and musical parts. So, if you have had a bad love life, don't go through this song, as you might waste a lot of your time after listening to this :P.
hAve nice days :)
