I am NOT a music fan... various reasons; There's religious... n then taste... I'm not into all those mushy romantic songs ppl have saved in their cells (My two exceptions: I really really really like When you Say Nothing at All- Ronan Keating and At the beginning -from Anastasia)... I hate those terrible Bollywood songs that are waaaaaaaay too in nowadays (anybody say Munni and I'm grabbing a dagger!)
What I love to hear are Pak-patriotic songs like Dil sai, Junoon, Ai Jawan, Tera Karam Molla, Hum hain Pakistani ...Beautiful beautiful songs, that have so many memories and so much meaning to them... Aww reminds you of the superb 90s don't they.. :') Yeah so anything patriotic gets me going. And of course sport songs!! Wavin Flag, Waka Waka, Stand up for the Champions... or songs on life like It's my life, Summer of 69, MJ's Beat it, Black or White, Heal the World...
But I came across this vid. It's lyrics are very touching! AND IT'S SHOT AT KE!!!!! Like WOW!!
The vid makes KE look like some sort of ultra cool palace!
It's so encouraging that yes, you still have time to fulfil all those ambitions you've dreamt up, all those wishes you've hoped would come true...

And then I came across this; the same song, sung slowly with shots of the terrible earthquake we went through a few years back:
Now This vid really inspired me. There are so many people who have to go through so much. Look at what they have to face. Dead families. Lost limbs. I can't imagine having to go through that.
I'm going to work hard now, so that I can help people like that, whenever they need me. I'll try to dry as much tears as I can. Dil tou Rona Nahin.

God bless Pakistan. Forever and Ever. May we have PEACE.
You know I try to avoid music too...but its some songs such as above that really warm you up ; the songs that depict or reverbrate with our deep aspirations ; that has lyrics overflowing with emotions all innocent, straight forward and hopelessly optimistic :) Loved this post !
