Late last night i had been playing the synthesizer for quite sometime when it occured to me that the minors do not spread joy like the majors do.............though i like playing a few songs with a lot of minor chords in them ...one being "Do lafzoon ki toh ...yehhai kahani..." picturised in a Venetian canal......it starts with a Cmin then moves on to a D# then an occasional C or Csus4 moving on to its basic chords......these songs are emotional, sometimes they are overflowing with sentiments.....some strike a chord in my heart but the ebullience evaporates soon after. Many of these songs are apt for certain situations in life, when the lyrics mean all the more relevant. But a careful reflection reveals that those are moments of sorrow or grief.... of loneliness and silent sobs and unlike the songs that flow from one major chord to another they fail to lighten up the spirit.....perhaps there lies the essence of music that speaks the language of our heart.......music shall live on in my heart for years to come...........
