New Dye Corduroy Track - Bhool Na Saka ...

Just recorded this track a week back ... lots of fun experimentation going on here as well:

DOWNLOAD: Dye Corduroy - Bhool Na Saka (mp3 192/kbps)

The song structure is very interesting to me coz it goes from Intro, Verse1, Prechorus, Chorus to Bridge to Solo and THEN to Verse2, Prechorus, Chorus, and Outro. Kind of deconstructing a song for the first time for all to see ...

Instruments used: Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Bass, Tambourines, Toothbrush. Drum programming: Thru ye ol' fruity loops, random recorded drum-sounds by yours truly used.

All instruments and programming by moi' ofcourse. Almost dislocated my wrist playing the freakishly fast tambourines in the prechorus! Also note, the tambourine track is a mix of toothbrush on tambourine skin AND the seperate tambourine playing. To me the funnest part was the bridge of the song coz it follows the first chorus directly and its really fun to play, very punk/grunge feel to the four chord progression that i use there.


The solo is absolutely whack, with the guitar in left channel playing the main guitar lead, right channel guitar doing the slug-a-chug layback and the bass/octave going whack and floating from middle sections to either channel (mostly left), ending in ofcourse a wah-wah-subsiding scene and a mini bass solo before the second verse rebound garage rock thump.


AAANNND the stops... thats my version of playing with intense dynamics, it goes from vocal stretch to *silent halt* and then back to chorus. whee.

Anywho, here are the lyrics:

Bhool Na Saka

verse1
Apnay Raastey; Bhool Kay Bhee Aashna
Tayrey Waastey; Har Zehr Har Imtihaan
Apnay Haath Mein; Khwab Saarey Hain Jawaan
Par Zehan Mein; Tootay Waadon ka Jahaan

prechorus
Kashmakash Kee Har Lehar Mein Goonjay Tayree Sadaa
Aasmaan Kay Jhootay Rangon Mein Bhee Tayree Hayaa
Mayree Aankhon Mein Inn Dhaltey Dinn Ka Bojh Buss Gaya
Tayraa Khayaaal .....

chorus
Bhool Na Saka
Tayraa Khayal
Bhool Na Saka

bridge
Mayrey Azam Kay Uljhay Dhaagey
Ikk Taraf Hai Andhera, Ikk Taraf Aag Hai ....

verse2
Paas Faasley, Duur Hain Woh Kehkashaan
Tootay Silsilay, C'hat Gayey Saarey Armaan
Mitt Sakein Gay? Iss Toofan Kay Nishaan
Abb Yahan Inteha; Abb Yahaan Inteha ...



prechorus
Kashmakash Kee Har Lehar Mein Goonjay Tayree Sadaa
Aasmaan Kay Jhootay Rangon Mein Bhee Tayree Hayaa
Mayree Aankhon Mein Inn Dhaltey Dinn Ka Bojh Buss Gaya
Tayraa Khayaaal .....

chorus
Bhool Na Saka
Tayraa Khayal
Bhool Na Saka

This song was written around 6 months back on an acoustic guitar; and later on reinvented in the distorted blah that it has become :)

I am wondering,if there any chance of me listening to a live performance of this song if I manage to come to Lahore?
Still haven't heard the song as the exams aren't over and are currently over my forehead now.
Even us extra-terrestial beings are not free from the dreaded exams.

The song is good,the massess will like it,the channels might also play it's video if releases but it doesnt seem to have the ingredients to be in the top 20 songs of this year.
What are the tambourines by the way ?
