One of my favourite theme is 'life & earthly world'. I also like songs that brings message of happyness. Next few songs, will cover the first theme. #163 Song: Jis Ko Tune Ghar Samjhaa Ye, Duniya Musafirkhaana Hai Ik Din Saab Ko Baari Baari Chhod Isko Jaana Hai Film: Surang (1953) Music: Pt. Shivramkrishna Lyrics: Shevan Rizvi Singer: Manna De, Sulochana Kadam *ing: ? I suppose, this must be a famous song of Surang. It's sung low, with light orchestration. Brings out good amount of melody. Sulochana Kadam and Manna De, both, sound very sweet. I find, Sulochana Kadam's voice more refined and mature than in Dhholak (1950). Film also has one good Manna solo, which is an item of showcase in Manna's repertoire, for it's a song of different category. Different from those semi- classical and folk stuff. A song, that one would associate with Rafi/Talat/ Mukesh/Hemant's voice, usually Chal Ai Dil-E-Majboor, Is Zulm Ki Duniyaa Se Bahut Door .... Manna does a good job at this. I would say, he just about succeeds in delivering feelings/emotions. Nevertheless, a must song for a Manna-da fan. Film also has two (?) Lata solos. I have heard only one 'Chhalke Na Gam Ke Pyaale, Piye Jaa'. Lata, spreads her magic through this nice number.
