A Mind Full Of Tunes
Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Labels: Music 2 commentsLately I am cataloguing my Music Collection - old Himdi Film Songs. I am amazed at the number of tunes that mind is full of.
Hindi Film Songs have been an important part of my childhood and youth. I am amazed at the number of tunes that whistle in my mind. At present my collection includes only 1600 songs. But I can recall all the tunes, lyrics and artists in most cases. Some of the songs ante-date my birth in 1950, but are part of my growth-lore. Say 1945 to 1990 - after which I lost touch. My admiration for the artists who created these songs has grown tremendously during this project. What intoxication they must have felt about their creativity and Art? Bless them Lord!!
Of the singer, composer and lyricist - whom do I admire more? I admire the lyricist most - the creativity and imagination is his only his. Then comes the composer and in the end the singer.
What do you think?
I think Sir listner is also important.Colours have no meaning without eyes, sound has no meaning without ears, in fact we can even safely say that they do not exist without them.The process of enjoying nature and its existence is creativity in itself, therefore it is not the doer who is creative but an observer who is creative.
In enjoying God's creation - nature and its existence - the creativity also lies in the observer. But yes in man-made creations - music or other art - the creativity lies with the artist.

NB: My music catalogue is now touching 3000.
