when you get this ask you have to answer with 5 of ur fav songs and then send this ask to 10 of ur favourite followers :)

(only if you want to though!)

Oh ho ho! What a lovely surprise to see this in my ask box! 1. June in January. I love this, partially because it's one of the few winter songs that's explicitly not about Christmas, and because the month of January is so often associated with austerity and deprivation. It's nice to have a song dedicated to a month that doesn't get much other than diet fads, even if the song's message is very "the weather is terrible but love makes it beautiful." The Jo Stafford version is the one I grew up listening to.

2. Continuing on with winter songs, because it's snowing here and I love it, we have Snow by Loreena Mckennitt. (The version on To Drive the Cold Winter Away is better than the one on A Winter Garden/ A Midwinter Night's Dream, and I'll fight for this.)

3. I listened to The Mary Ellen Carter a lot last year (I was going through some things). It's a lovely blend of multiple great folk song genres, such as "songs about heists" and "songs about ships." The original is by Stan Rogers, but I discovered this cover version first:

4. This whole album is an old favorite of mine. The recorder is a highly underrated instrument, and it's a lot of fun to show this to people who've never heard a recorder nicer than the $3 plastic ones.

5. As far as I can tell, A. R. Rahman has never in his life composed a bad song. Mellia, I know you've already seen and enjoyed Jodhaa Akbar, so instead of Jashn-e-Bahaara, I give you this one (I didn't love the movie, but the song's a certified banger):

Song Stuck In My Head: It's All Coming Back to Me by Celine Dion

Last Song You Listened Too: Aga Naga composed by A R Rahman

Dream Trip: In India, Ladakh has been a dream for years. Also, Thanjavur because I am reading a book called Ponniyin Selvan by Kalki (It's a five-volume book series, now adapted into a two-part movie. Check it out if you're interested in centuries old Indian history, royal schemes and romances.) Anyways, the place is so beautifully portrayed in the books, the characters are so well written, and everything is just brilliant that I want to visit the places described in the books that I fell in love with.

Internationally, there are so many beautiful countries. But I've wanted to visit Ardmore, Ireland ever since I read Nora Robert's Gallaghers series (14-year-old me dreamt of picturesque country roads, abandoned castles, faeries and cliffs rising from the seas) 😋

Today's shameless promotion is for a show I've never seen and probably never will, and honestly? That might be for the best. Because while I adore the soundtrack for Lord of the Rings: The Musical, and the official clips on Youtube look amazing, I've heard the actual show is a bit of a, well, mess. And the incredibly complicated staging and huge cast mean it never toured and probably never will. But oh, the music!

The two group Hobbit songs ("The Road Goes On" and "The Cat and the Moon") are rousing crowd pleasers. The duet between Sam and Frodo as they try to keep their spirits up during the long road to Mordor ("Now and For Always") makes me tear up no matter how many times I hear it, it's so perfect for them and the story.

The Elves' big number, "Lothlorien," is beautiful. Gimli's "Lament for Moria" is... okay, look, to be honest the first couple times I heard it I assumed it was in Dwarvish because I couldn't make out the lyrics. XD But Aragorn and Arwen's "Song of Hope," is sweet and romantic with appropriate epic overtones.

Also, Gollum (and Smeagol) get a monologue on the CD that always freaks me out before I remember to skip it. XD (Not because it's bad, I just don't like Gollum and don't want to listen to him scheme, and it's like the audio equivalent of a jump scare when it starts.)

If you're familiar with Lord of the Rings (and if you're not, this musical is probably not for you), you may be wondering, "how did they boil all that plot into one musical, however long?" and from the reviews I've read, the answer is "not well."

Apparently it was more like a ballet/cirque du soleill sequence of set pieces, with some weird Hobbit pantomime-type stuff in-between? Which is fine as long as you know that's what you're in for. (Note: still mad about the time I went to see Movin' Out, the Billy Joel jukebox musical, without realizing it was ballet for middle-aged dudes.) There's a video on Youtube that attempts to recreate the whole show from various illicit videos, and gonna be honest, I made it through about three minutes before deciding the pictures in my head didn't need supplanting.

I just looked up the composers for the purpose of this post (why had that never occurred to me before?), and A R Rahman's discography has it's own Wikipedia page. O_O So that's a famous and prolific Bollywood composer; Värttinä, a Finnish folk band I'm going to be looking up as soon as I'm done writing this; and a guy who doesn't have his own page on Wikipedia but according to IMDB has been doing Marvel movies. So, that's definitely an interesting trio.

Speaking of research, apparently a production has been announced for this summer!! ...In Newbury, England. ::sigh:: In a 200-seat theater, no less, with reasonable ticket prices, so clearly some revisions to the staging and cast have been made, and it's being marketed as "semi-immersive" and oh, suddenly I'm quite sad I don't have the budget to vacation in the UK this summer. (If any of you see it, don't tell me if it's good now. It will only hurt me if it is.)

Right, jealousy of people able to go aside, if you like Lord of the Rings and you like musicals, do yourself a huge favor and listen to the soundtrack. I guarantee you'll love it.

REVEALED: This is the man who appears in Jawan's song 'Zinda Banda' alongside Shah Rukh Khan

Jawan, the much-anticipated film, has finally arrived, and it has proven to be an epic entertainment. Because the teaser did not reveal the entire tale, moviegoers were treated to multiple surprises. What also surprised them was that the song 'Zinda Banda' in the film was slightly different from the version released before to its release.

'Zinda Banda' also features a special appearance by a very significant individual. That would be Atlee, the blockbuster writer and director of Jawan. According to a source, "a lot of moviegoers were left wondering who this person who makes a massy appearance in the song and not just shakes a leg with Shah Rukh Khan but even wears similar clothes as the superstar."

"Shah Rukh Khan and the team at Red Chillies Entertainment knew that Atlee is not well-known in the Hindi-speaking markets, and his presence might confuse viewers who do not recognize him," an industry insider said. SRK could have cast any Bollywood or South celebrity in that role. Nonetheless, he chose to show Atlee the respect he deserves."

This is not Atlee's first appearance on television. In his most recent film, Bigil (2019), he sang the song 'Singappenney' alongside the lead actor, Thalapathy Vijay, and music composer A R Rahman. Interestingly, Atlee employs a similar template for his special appearance in 'Zinda Banda' as well.

Meanwhile, speculations of Thalapathy Vijay, Allu Arjun, and even Kiara Advani appearing in Jawan have been debunked. Only Sanjay Dutt and Deepika Padukone make cameo appearances. Mukesh Chhabra, a prominent casting director, also has a minor but interesting role. He is the health minister's personal assistant. Surprisingly, he only appears in the Hindi version. Yogi Babu, a well-known and lovable actor, plays the same character in the Tamil version.
