Jal – Aadat (Album Review) - 1

By Sanket ‘song analyzer’ Kambli
I won’t give you a whole album review; instead I will try and review two songs for each issue.

8.-Aadat->This is one of my favorite songs on this album. The song begins with a strumming guitar, and then you are introduced to the voice of Farhan. Then mid way it stops, and again strumming picks up, slowly the tempo goes up, and by now you are immersed into the soul of the song. This song has some good Latin style guitar work. Many fans of this Pak Pop Genre, will say this song feels a bit similar to style of Strings, but that is just because of the bass line of the song, and nothing else.
LYRICS:
na jane kab se
umeede kuch baki hay
mujhe phir bhi teri yaad
kyun aati hay
na jane kab seeee
dur jitna bhi tum mujhse
paas tere main
ab toh aadat si hay mujhko aise jineme
zindagi se koi shikwa bhi nahin hay
ab toh zinda hoon main is neele asman main
chahat aisi yeh teri badhati jaye
aahat aisi hay yeh teri mujhko sataye
yade gehri hay itni dil doob jaye
aur aankhon main yeh gum num ban jaye
ab toh aadat si hay mujhko aise jineme
sabhi yaadein hayn
sabhi baatein hayn
bhoola do unhe
mita do unhe
9.-Manchala->This song begins with a throbbing bass, which is interspersed with guitar licks, then it is followed by some more mean licks, then the vocals surface peppered with distortion, you get pulled into the void created by the soul in Goher's voice. The concluding part is all crazy fretwork, fast drumming.
LYRICS:
Koi manchala chala
is Safar Main
kayee raste mile
har rasta hay juda
yeh dil ki baat hay
ke har dil hay khafa
kahin koi mila
mila is safar main
