I was just wondering today that in our life time how many songs we would have heard....any guesses? Well lets not get into a guessing game and try and put a figure to it. Every month there are around 10 releases on screen and on an average every movie has 5 of them, which makes it 50 a month and 600 songs a year. If you are 25 years old and started listening music at age of 10 then the set becomes 9000 songs. And even discounting 50% of movie songs you would not have never heard of , still there are around 4500 songs which one must have listened, hummed and then shunned.You must be wondering why am I asking you or myself rather all these questions....wait a sec...the real question is yet to be thrown at you...and I am warning you no matter how innocous it may sound it may catch you off guard..?...hehehhe...it caught me atleast...so I want to ask you that out of 4500 songs which you have heard till now
HOW MANY DO YOU REMEMBER?
I dont mean the lyrics but how many of them you remember.I am sure you would started counted as to how many you remember...well okie do that but the point I am trying to make here is that what is there that made you remember that song and not others...
Good music..Actors...Picturisation...Voice...Movie...Rythm...Beat....
I would say to some extent you are correct but if that would have been the only reason I would not have written this.....think there must be something more....Coz there have been songs who have had better music, more grandeur picturisation, better actors dancing on it,more heart moving voice,fantastic beat and rythm but they didnt come in your list or on your friend's list or his friend's list (if the question is asked individually)
There is more than what all is obvious that makes you remember a song.....
Its the time that the song takes you to....the association with that song you made coz you were in a mind frame...As we grow we do have our milestones emotionally and these songs make you go back to them.
Your first crush:...some song from early salman and ajay devgan movie
Your teenage : some song from DDLJ
Your love : Kal Ho Na Ho
your break up...your job party...your feeling of freedom...your marriage...your honeymoon...your times with old friends....you remembering somebody....you spending some time with somebody.....
I dont know how true it is for you but yes it is definitely true for me..!
That makes a song stick on to you and along with that song the person/situation/times everything comes back.
But I am sure once you would start living your life and more lives get attach to you ...you would not remember any new song......
Try asking your parents the same question and they would go back in their times.....
Songs bring back a long time memories....:)
