One voice and 8 instruments is all it takes to produce one of the best songs ever. The song begins with the bells, guitars and mandolin. The bell sound is loud clear and melodious giving spiritual vibrations, behind the bell are the chords on the guitar which provide the base and the mandolin strings give ripple like effect to the bell vibrations. The solo flute without any chords accompanied by the harp lays the foundation for the entry of the voice led by the piano. The first rhythm/chords are next heard on the syllable bhi in kabhi. The flute before "chaand ke rath" and especially after "raat" is like a lonely heart wailing at night.

The mood of the song encompasses the past, present and future, there is fariyaad but no complains, sadness yet contentment, there is clarity in doubt, there is bechaini in chain, fullness in emptiness, life in death... many dual emotions captured so beautifully in the composition rendered to divine perfection, .... just FEEL. Enjoy...

(their last recorded song, together. Song of death or song of life?)

Some music sensitive mother, please let me know whether the feel of this song is similar to that at the time of cutting of the umbilical cord? (kya karein, reverse gender issue... ;) hota hai, hota hai).

Chain Se Humko Kab...
