Antithesis...

[pun_princess]

To not to see is easy

After having seen it all

Fervour is passé

Now the fad is to crawl

The naivety is lame

For a crime that is innocence

The insipidity is vain

For the charm infests in this pretence

Timid and faint

Remnants of the last refrain

Transcends space, transcends time

Where the passion is mild

And the engulfing silence

The poem is very nice!!! :-)

And the song you are listening to is very nice. lovely use of guitar.
but listening to the lyrics and title of the song I was expecting atleast some use of "Ektara". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ektara
Ektara is a very serene instrument. it does not need any supporting instrument. I love the sound of it.

P.S.:
1. the timing of the post seems to be 4:18 in the morning. have you started adapting noctarnal lifestyle??? :-P

Re: Bravo....

Thank You :)

I loved the song absolutely. I am familiar with ektara coz I listen to diff renditions of Bhajans by Meerabai, usually accompanied by this instrument. Also, there's a kind of sufi folk in Bengal, known as Baul where the singers use only ektara. :)

Thanks for sharing the info. And I have always been a nocturnal bird. ;)

Re: Bravo....

[life_chetan]

yeah I know about Baul although just a little...
:-) Ektara is used in most of the punjabi Folk and Sufi songs as well.

and about being a nocturnal bird, tum "ullu" ho???? :-P

That's what my mom calls me - ullu. Now since my mom calls me that, there is a very good chance that i might be one. :P

I am not much familiar with Punjabi Folk but yeah, Sufi rocks! :)

Wow! Beautiful! I would never have thought of certain words that you have written.

[pun_princess]

That is why the poem is named - antithesis. Things can be diff from what they seem to be sometimes, right? :)

[inspirethoughts]

Very true!
