A tune that’s a story.
by “Sounds of Kolachi.”
The wait for the 6th episode of Coke Studio 11 finished justified, all credits to Sounds of Kolachi...
Coke Studio’s house band and their music fusion pull in you not to just tune in to the melody but, in addition, appreciate the video. Masters pieces are produced (remake) in this studio.
With the newest episode of the 11th season, one of the finest debutants smashes their entry. Sounds of Kolachi, a band of ten, with the music director and lead vocalist Ahsan Bari, Gul Muhammad (sarangi) , Waqas Hussain (sitar), Sherjeel O’Neil (lead guitar), Saif Abbas Rizwan (bass guitar), Shams Ul Arifeen (drums) Quaid Ahmed (vocals), Nimra Rafiq (vocals), Iman Shahid (vocals), Waqar Hussain (vocals) came up with their original track “IlALLAH”, they call it a journey of a lost person who knows the taught answers but can’t connect to the voice of heart. So, he walks on to discover.
The lyrics are the emotional feels of this band and they opt for music to spread their word, considering it the best way of conveying.
“The lyrics are really based on our emotional experiences and we feel music is the best way to portray emotions.”
The song “IlAllah” is actually not a song, it’s story, a reality a profound inquiry and reply at the same time. Each line of this piece has a vibe, to the individuals who can comprehend and relate it, it's significantly more. The relation with your Creator is the purest of its kind, this bond empowers one as well as give the persistence of sitting tight for right thing on correct time. But at the very same time, this bond needs satisfaction, like something that lies beyond any kind of trust, the road to this tie will have obstacles until the point when you achieve that stature. A lost soul, who knows the most delightful association of the world yet at the same time searches for the way to interface.
The whole thing is flawlessly said in only two lines,
ALLAH-HOO ALLAH-HOO JAAG YE KEHTA RAHA,
MERA JEE NA LAGA, MAI UTHA CHAAL DIYA.
MAINE SAJDAY MAI GIR KAY JO DIL KO SUN’NA,
TERA NAAM SUNA MAINE ILLALLAH.
.
Here comes the appropriate response, simply prostrate yourself in front of HIM and you'll hear the voice of the heart, the key of association.
The entire song can make you think, can influence you to understand things. Some specific lines (personal favorite) can even make a thought evolving impact.
JITNA MAIN DHUNDOON UTNA MAIN DOOBOON
HAD SE HUA BANWRA.
A totally soulful thing, a journey of self-exploration. The beginning of Sounds of Kolachi’s Coke Studio journey, it couldn’t have been any better.
(It’s not from a musician or expert who can review the bars & bits of this song, just from a listener who felt it a little too much)
