taste-in-music’s top 30 songs of 2020

Hey everyone! If you missed it, you can check out my year end wrap-up post going over my favorite albums and EPs of the year. This list will go over my favorite songs of 2020, whether they happen to be on those projects or not. My only limit is one song per project, and thirty songs total. Now then, let’s get started! 

First Aid by Gus Dapperton: There is one easy way to get me to love a song, and that’s if an artist adds in another person’s vocals for the bridge and final chorus, hence infusing them with more dimension and meaning. “First Aid” is the best usage of that device all year. The song tackles Dapperton’s struggles with mental health, citing his sister as a large help in the midst of it all. Who best to come in for the bridge and final chorus, then, but his sister (who goes by the stage name Amadelle)? It all comes together to make the final act of the song hit like a gut punch. 

Josslyn by Olivia O’Brien: Every year I have to have my helping of big, sugary, bombastic pop tunes on this list, and “Josslyn” was the first of that type of song I fell in love with this year. This song is full of snark and blunt lines, (maybe don’t listen with mom in the room,) but god help me if it didn’t have one of the catchiest chorus melodies of the year. I’ll shout along to the entire song every time I hear it. 

Frustrated by Lauren Sanderson: Okay, I only found this song by chance, like, last week, (another good reason for postponing these lists until the year is actually over,) and I have to include it. If you love the hooky guitars lines of The 1975, vocalists with a gritty edge to their delivery, and a free-spirited feel that captures the euphoria of youth, then this is the song for you. I may have just discovered it, but I’ve already played it countless times. 

To Me by Alina Baraz: Everything about “To Me” communicates blissful tranquility, from the watery production to the subtle confidence in Baraz’s delivery. Every time I was feeling overwhelmed or stressed this year, (and lord help me, that was a lot,) this was the song I’d always return to to center myself. Baraz demanding respect out of her relationships and the best things out of life was downright inspiring.

Do It by Chloe X Halle: If there is one word I would use to describe this it would be effervescent, this song is so fresh, bouncy, and bubbly, like orange soda in musical form. With its tropical production and effortless vocals, this song made me want to hit a dancefloor like nothing else this year. It was the perfect pop Summer smash that deserved a better Summer.

ringtone (Remix) by 100 gecs ft. Charli XCX, Kero Kero Bonito, and Rico Nasty: This is probably the best remix of the year? The original “ringtone” was a cute, hooky fragment, but this turned it into a fleshed out, full-on posse-cut where each guest gets a moment to shine. Charli XCX turns the hook into an earworm, Kero Kero Bonito contribute their signature chirpy vocals, and Rico Nasty jumps in for an awesome bridge that provides a nice change of pace. And, of, course, 100 gecs are the glue that holds everything together. If you’re new to the gec train, this is a great place to start. 

By Myself by Maya Hawke: “By Myself” was the song that proved that Maya Hawke was way more than the usual actor trying to cash in a quick buck. She was a bona-fide craftswoman with the potential to being tears to my eyes with blissfully simple yet artfully constructed folk ballads. This song feels like a long-forgotten lullaby, gentle and beautiful with just enough woeful melancholy to remain emotionally resonant the whole year. 

killing boys by Halsey: “killing boys” is the epitome of short but sweet. This song is a fifteen second long dialogue bite Jennifer’s Body followed by some of the most focused, atmospheric pop of the year that only lasts two and a half minutes. The way the thudding heartbeat, low plucked strings, and Halsey’s hushed delivery all build to the distorted end is a pure adrenaline rush every time. It always had me coming back for more, and by the end of the year it had climbed its way up into my top 5 most listened to songs of the year. 

Bloom by Donna Missal: It’s not a list of mine without a Donna Missal song, is it? As soon as I saw the name of this song on the Lighter track list, I just had a feeling I was going to love it. “Bloom” is the most stripped-back moment on the album, with just a guitar accompanying Missal, and yet it is also one of the most memorable and evocative songs it has to offer. What the stripped-back production allows is for Missal’s sheer, raw talent as a vocalist to blossom, especially in how she displays so much power not by belting, but by holding back. Accompanied with lyrics that detail the fear of holding someone back in a relationship, “Bloom” is awe-inspiring every time. 

fever dream by mxmtoon: mxmtoon’s double album from this year didn’t leave much of an impression of me, but lead single “fever dream” got countless spins. This song feels like a warm hug, with mxmtoon’s amiable vocals, pillowy indie pop production (the chirps! the chimes! the gentle woodwinds!) and comforting lyrics that seemed to synthesize everything I was feeling while giving me a comforting pat on the shoulder at the same time. Take the line: “I want something more than / More than restless mornings / Getting by is so boring.” Gee, I wonder why I would’ve hit a nerve in a year like 2020?

Shoulda Known Better by Nasty Cherry: From the first chord of the intro’s ringing guitars, this feels dug up from a mid-2000s coming of age soundtrack. In fact, there is an inexplicable nostalgic feel to this whole song, from the frankness the lyrics, to the filmy vocal processing, all of it. And the way the song kicks into a faster groove on the chorus is so fun, it makes me want to speed down a highway every time I hear it, and I hate driving! I guess that’s just the power of a great pop rock song. 

Heart of Glass by Miley Cyrus: Do you ever hear a song that stops you clean in your tracks and makes you sit in stunned silence until it’s over? Hearing this cover for the first time did that to me. I had been wanting Miley Cyrus to take the rock route for a while, but this cemented that my intuition was 100% correct. It’s not necessarily better than the Blondie version, (Debbie Harry’s original delivery is very smooth and nonchalant, Miley’s is more gritty and rough around the edges,) but it fills an entirely different purpose. And that purpose is to be listened to on a never ending loop, in absolute awe. 

WIGS by BLACKSTARKIDS: SURF traverses a slew of sounds, from boisterous rock to hip hop to indie pop. One of the albums best moments, however, comes when all those sounds meet in the middle “WIGS” is a blissed-out in the best way, still providing a memorable hook, (one of the best the album has to offer,) while also letting you relax and hang on for the ride.

Dead Horse by Hayley Williams: This was the most unexpected bop of the year. The lyrics may be all about betrayal in the lead-up to divorce, but the delivery is so upbeat and bouncy that I can often forget just how soul-crushing the content is at times. The production on this is so catchy, with the chirpy, tropical synths, the “ya-ya-yas,” and Williams’s stellar vocals.

this is me trying by Taylor Swift: My favorite songs on folklore came to me in waves. First, “epiphany” was my favorite, with its timely lyrics and orchestral arrangements. Then, it was “the lakes,” with its nostalgic, poetic feel, (consider it a very close runner-up.) But in the end, it was the slow burning ache of “this is me trying” that didn’t just become my favorite on folklore, but one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs ever. Looking back, “this is me trying” synthesizes what I like about those other two songs. It has a grand, atmospheric instrumental and pointed, detailed lyrics, combining the two into a single, perfect, emotional wrecking ball. 

Susie Save Your Love by Allie X ft. Mitski: This was my most anticipated duet of the year, and it didn’t disappoint! This song goes by like a long sigh on a humid Summer night, filled with breathy vocals set against a churning groove. The lyrics detail parties gone wrong and unrequited love with a best friend with just enough ambiguity to allude to something darker hovering under the surface. Mitski’s vocals work great in an alt-pop context, I love what she does with her solo work but I certainly wouldn’t be mad if she hopped onto more tracks like this. Also, that guitar solo makes me levitate every time. 

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple: Okay, who had “Fiona Apple meows on a song” on their 2020 bingo card? But it works, it works so well! From its opening clatter of percussion, “Fetch The Bolt Cutters” establishes a locomotive groove that never stops moving forward. In fact, the entire song seems to be dedicated to that sentiment, each lyric linking lines about middle school bullies, media critics, and Kate Bush references into their perfect place. It’s a narrative that may span a lifetime, but it still feels as timely as ever. 

forever by Charli XCX: I’ll admit I haven’t returned to How I’m Feeling Now all that much throughout 2020, but I have returned to “forever,” again and again and again. The sugar-sweet hook at the heart of all the blown-out bass is just irresistible. The way it manages to fight to the forefront, cutting through the clouds of distortion like a shimmering pink diamond, is nothing short of hopeful. 

Fit N Full by Samia: This was my instant favorite off The Baby. The glistening guitars make for a sweltering summery jam that you can’t help but move to every time you hear it. The way Samia weaves lyrics about the agonizing pressures of womanhood, diet culture, and body image into a catchy pop hook is pretty genius. She wraps them all up into a pretty package for consumption, just like women are forced to do with their pain. 

Heartbreak Weather by Niall Horan: Niall Horan has made folksy balladry his mainstay, which is all fine and good, but god help me if his turn towards stadium-rocking power pop didn’t result in one of the most anthemic songs of the year. “Heartbreak Weather” is sharply written, lushly produced, and performed with so much spirit and heart that I can’t help but think that this is the genre Horan has been meant to fall into all along. It’s certainly deserving of its title track status. 

Pretty Please by Dua Lipa: Future Nostalgia was an excellent showcase of Dua Lipa’s mastery over nonstop pop bangers, (”Physical” is the very close runner up for this list.) But surprisingly, it was the breather moment on the album, the song where everything slowed down, that really hooked me. I’m gonna say it, “Pretty Please” is so fucking sexy. The whole song screams sensuality, from the lyrics, to the bass line, to the funky synths, to Lipa’s delivery. It may not be as in-your-face as its peers, but it deserves just as much hype. 

Woo! by Remi Wolf: I had such a hard time picking a Remi Wolf song for this list that I had to resort to the raw data. “Woo!” ended up on my Spotify Wrapped, so “Woo!” gets this spot. This song just works in some ramshackle way I can’t describe, all the disparate pieces come together with so much charm. The way Wolf’s performance effortlessly flip-flops between jaunty half-rapping modulated with distortion to full-blown, raw belting on the bridge is a wild ride of the best kind every time. 

gold rush by Taylor Swift: We have another entry for the highly esteemed category of songs that capture the feeling of butterflies in your stomach. This latest Antonoff-Swift collaboration is a wistful, glittery whirlwind that captures the simultaneous excitement and soul crushing realization of a blooming crush. The way the dreamy intro snaps into the steady thrum of the rest of the song, before the song fades out in the same way, as if to illustrate how your mind can race to dozens of different places all within in the moment of meeting someone? Damn, I’m getting butterflies just thinking about it. 

Eugene by Arlo Parks: “Eugene” is a testament to soft-spoken heartache, as Arlo Parks details watching her straight crush in a relationship with a man. The song is incredibly intimate, both with Park’s hushed vocals and the specific details she utilizes in her writing, (Sylvia Plath poetry, a cigarette hanging between purple lips.) It all comes together to make the song all the more personal and heart-aching. 

People, I’ve been sad by Christine and the Queens: Christine and the Queens have perfected setting emotionally resonant sentiments against wire-tight grooves, and “People I’ve been sad” may just be their most elegant effort yet. The echoing, stuttering drums, fluttering backing vocals, and reverb give the track a wide sense of space, which perfectly illustrates the loneliness Chris describes. But there’s also this intangible warmth to the song too, harking from the strings and Chris’s introspective performance. Just gorgeous. 

XS by Rina Sawayama: Picking a song of SAWAYAMA for this list was damn near impossible. My first favorite off the album was the nu metal rager “STFU!,” then the slinky intrigue of “Akasaka Sad,” then the glitter-flinging “Tokyo Love Hotel.” But did those songs end Karl Marx’s career with their razor-sharp critique of capitalism? No. Hence, “XS” gets this spot. The craftmanship of this song is so impressive, with the rock guitar hits contrasted against the glossy pop production, Rina’s pitch-perfect performance, the witty lyricism, everything. This will go down as a classic in Ms. Sawayama’s discography, no doubt!

Guilty Conscience by 070 Shake: I didn’t even realize this was one of my favorite songs of the year until I was writing this list and felt like something was missing. This feels like a song that plays for the last stragglers on a prom dance floor. It’s melancholic yet just upbeat enough, sprawling yet buoyant, and hooks you in with the perfect balance monstrous, shimmering 80s synths undercut with rattling modern trap percussion. It’s just irresistible. If HBO doesn’t put this on the next season of Euphoria then they’re fools. 

I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers: I don’t even know if I can describe the full impact of this song, so I’ll keep to short. One word: catharsis. The way this sound builds up from signature Phoebe Bridgers Ballad™ to forceful rollick to gut-wrenching climax gives me chills every time. I don’t want to spoil it. If you haven’t heard it before, go listen to it, (preferably with the rest of the album, too.) If you know, you know. 

Delete Forever by Grimes: Okay, now who had “Grimes makes the best country song of the year” on their 2020 bingo card? I certainly didn’t. I’ve loved Grimes’s work in the past for its ability to transport me to another place. “Delete Forever” does the exact opposite in its discussion of loss, exhaustion, and hopelessness, rooting me right to where I am. But you know what? I think I like that a lot more, especially when the song incorporates a lush acoustic guitar and strings, sunny synths, and just enough optimism to remind me that there is always hope to keep the darkness from fully taking over.

circle the drain by Soccer Mommy: This song was in the running for my favorite song of the year since even before the pandemic began, for its classic 90s-alternative sound, for its clever production choices, and for its anthemic feel. But as the year went on, it just kept getting more and more emotionally potent. I’ve been wanting to look at the songs and albums I’ve discussed on these lists without putting on pandemic-tinted glasses, but the truth is, that experience drastically shaped my year, and how I consume music. The lyrics in this song were so goddamn relatable as this year kept spiraling and it felt like I was along with it. “circle the drain” showed me that it’s okay to be feel like I was “falling apart these days.” Because those feelings are not new, I’m not alone in feeling them, and I may keep feeling them, but you know what? I’ll still have this song, in fact, many of the songs on this list, to return to when I do. 

Here are some songs I loved this year that didn’t come out in 2020: “Nikes” by Frank Ocean, “Prom” by SZA, “Rhinestone Eyes” by Gorillaz, “Anyone Else But You” by The Moldy Peaches, “Cold War” by Cautious Clay, “Plans” by Maude Latour, “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit, and “Narcissist” by No Rome ft. The 1975.

Whether you liked, reblogged, or commented on a post, sent me an ask, or interacted with this blog in any way, thank you so much for all the support throughout the year! I can’t express how much I appreciate it.

What were your favorite songs from this year? Did I miss anything? Send me an ask and let me know. I’ll tell you my thoughts, or put it on my to-listen-to list if I haven’t heard them.

Here’s to 2021! May it clear the extremely low bar set by this year.

Pop Music In America

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell feels that the present music scene is ailing and believes that his band's first new album in sixteen years could also be just what the doctor ordered. But for all the different ways black culture is flexing its affect within the trendy pop sphere, as ever, pop's utilitarian center remains caucasian. The singles that make their way into historically white spaces still mostly relegate black artists to a featured credit in the event that they're included in any respect. Notice that Put up Malone, G-Eazy, and Machine Gun Kelly have labored their means into heavy rotation as lead artists while Quavo, SZA, and 21 Savage solely cross over as friends on songs that tend to gentrify black stylistic parts into snowblind oblivion. The week HUMBLE." hit #1 on the Sizzling one hundred, it did not even crack Billboard's Mainstream Prime 40 chart , which tracks high-forty radio airplay. The identical scenario occurred with Unhealthy And Boujee" — you couldn't escape it, besides by tuning to a pop radio station. Khuri sees the disappearance of dissent in music from a singular position. His Palestine-American upbringing (his mother and father are Palestinian refugees who emigrated to the United States from Lebanon) informs the band's lyrics. However Khuri also has an academic's understanding of politics. He graduated from Harvard's Kennedy School of Authorities with a master's, and his wife worked within the Obama White House as a speechwriter. But within the final couple of years, this framework has been nearly fully dismantled, owing in large part to the widespread adoption of streaming. What have been once regarded merely as pop subgenres — Okay-pop, Latin lure, melodic hip-hop and extra — have grow to be the center of the dialog.

In music of this type we discover not solely essentially the most good show of technic, however an ever growing feeling for musical beauty. Allied to this was a rudimentary taste for real looking results, taking form in an attempt to echo the sounds of nature and of human life, at first purely imitative, as in Gombert's musical imitation of hen calls and Jannequin's well-known Bataille de Marignan," and afterward extra inventive, as in Luca Marenzio's lovely madrigal, Scaldava il sol," with its chirping grasshoppers, or his still more beautiful Strider faceva," with its imitation of shepherd's pipes, or the quite a few cuckoo" items by English composers, in which the chicken's cry is used as a particular musical motive with admirable impact. Listeners love a superb Pop song and radio loves to play them. Whether you want to pitch your songs to established artists in the Pop discipline or sing them yourself, writing a modern Pop Music, business Pop song with hit-single appeal means writing a song that listeners can determine with and radio will want to play. Media and TELEVISION reveals like Star Search are partly guilty for brainwashing the general public to overvalue superficial elements (for instance, a performer's seems to be and operatic vocals) somewhat than high quality of music. I can't see them signing a younger Cat Stevens or Joni Mitchell in the present day and giving such an artist an investment in money and time. They appear to be targeted on finding the subsequent Taylor Swift or Justin Beiber. I used to be born in 1997 so I can't converse solely to pop music from before my time, however I am able to take heed to it. And I do assume that pop music, while nonetheless basically the same in the 70s and 80s, was objectively higher again then than it is at present. I believe it is extra natural and less studio pushed, although studios have been undoubtedly a serious part of the music industry for the reason that 1950s actually. I also think listening to people play music and principally writing their own songs is much more genuine than listening to adolescent models sing the identical four chords to a music they did not write that has been edited drastically. Expertise has driven numerous music to be extra generic and formulaic. Nevertheless it's also performed a number of good for the business by opening up tons of latest potentialities. In an unguarded interview with New York Magazine , Jones, eighty four, known as The Beatles "no-playing motherfers", accused Jackson of plagiarism, and stated trendy pop music producers were "lazy and grasping". Within the late Fifties, a new blues type emerged on Chicago's West Facet pioneered by Magic Sam , Buddy Man and Otis Rush on Cobra Information 99 The "West Side sound" had robust rhythmic help from a rhythm guitar, bass guitar and drums and as perfected by Guy, Freddie King , Magic Slim and Luther Allison was dominated by amplified electrical lead guitar. 100 one zero one Expressive guitar solos were a key function of this music. So you simply discovered that your favorite pop act does not share your politics, or that they've stated something hateful a couple of marginalized group of individuals, or that they've a historical past of sexual misconduct, or that they've a history of bodily abuse, or that they've a historical past of each, or all the above. The genre that put New York Metropolis on the map. For every Moldy Peaches, there were 1,000,000 Elefants, The Fevers, and stellastarrs. Briefly the musicians of New York Metropolis felt the anticipatory ecstasy of residing in Seattle in the 90s. Then we went again to tending bar. Because the bands on this genre turned an increasing number of fashionable, the time period eventually widened to additionally embody every main-label rock group it was OK to not actively hate. Music of the 1950's reflected the beginnings of major social adjustments on the earth and within the US, particularly. Rock 'n' Roll, R&B, and traditional pop dominated the charts while radio and tv connected the nation in our musical tastes and exposed the nation to a better variety of artists and styles. Some of the first major superstars of music emerged from this decade with individuals like Elvis Presley dominating the airwaves and the minds of younger ladies. For those who play acoustic rhythm guitar, take heed to guitar-pushed hits by John Mayer, The Script, or Phillip Phillips. Play together with the recording till you can comfortably play the rhythm by yourself, then write to it. Or check out the current Top 20 Pop hits or High 20 Adult Contemporary hits for grooves you possibly can recreate on guitar or keyboard.

Hadiq Kiani made her debut in Adnan Sami& Zeba Bakhtiar starrer "Sargam" in 1995 which became an exceptional hit and the music album of the movie was a chartbuster in Lollywood High 10 (PTV), Yeh Hai Filmi Dunya (NTM) and FM channels. However Hadiqa continued her music profession extra as a pop artist as a substitute of a play again. Her albums "Raaz, Rung and Roshni" offered thousands and thousands and made her an ultimate feminine pop star after Nazia Hassan. In 1997, Hadiqa grew to become the second worldwide female singer on the earth to be signed by Pepsi Pakistan. A lot of the experience listening to music — gospel and in any other case — is feeling it, catching the spirit. Earlier than Franklin starts the title track, the Rev. James Cleveland asks for a witness. Then Franklin takes over. It is simply her voice, the reverend on piano and a testomony to the extraordinary: I used to be blind, and now I see. The experience of its overwhelming you occurs whether or not a survey of music folks deems it canonical. But when canons are being shaped and published, why not embody this one alongside the standard suspects — your Sgt. Pepper's" and Rubber Soul" and Freeway 61 Revisited" and Pet Sounds"? Wonderful Grace" is a landmark, too. You do not want a listing to inform you that. God knows. But that is not fairly enough.

Chalo Rafi Saahab aa gaye, Rafi Saahab aa gaye. aate hi ham yeh uTh gaye, pehle Khade ho gaye. haath joD ke keh rahen 'aap hamaara achchha gaana gaa deejiye'. hamaara 'hit' kar deejiye gaana. hamaara gaana chalna chaahiye. bas ham to aapko kya bataa sakte hain aur kya ham aapko 'rehearsal' karwa sakte hain. hamaari yeh dhun hai, yeh bol hain, aap isko sajaa deejiye, bas.' aur unhone bahut achchha gaaya, bahut hi achchha gaaya. ------------ --------- --------- --------- Clip: main zindagi mein hardam (Barsat) ------------ --------- --------- --------- Sangeet Ke Sitaaron Ki Mehfil mein is hisse mein ham dekh rahen hain Shankar Jaikishan ke kuchh zabardast dhunon ke jalwe. beech mein Shankar Saahab ki aawaaz bhi aa gayi, Mohd Rafi ko shraddhaanjali ke roop mein. magar gaayikaaon mein jinhone Shankar Jaikishan ke sabse zyaada dhunon ko sanwaara hai, woh hain Lata Mangeshkar. aur Lataji ki hi awaaz ab aap sunenge, Geet Mala ke 'hit parade' ke san 1962 ke saalaana 'program' ke 'geet number 1'. aisa geet tha woh jisne Junglee ko bhi insaan bana diya tha. ------------ --------- --------- --------- -- Clip: ehsaan tera hoga mujh par (Junglee) ------------ --------- --------- --------- -- ab yeh mujhe to Thik se nahin pataa behnon aur bhaaiyon, magar kuchh aisa sun ne mein aaya tha ki yeh dhun pehelwaan Shankarji ne nahin, balke 'romantic' tabeeyat waale Romeo Jaikishan ne banaee thi. barahaal Jaikishan ke dehaant ke kuchh arse baad, maine Lata Mangeshkar se guzaarish kee thi ki woh kuchh baate bataayen apne us chahite dost ke baare mein. LM: Jaikishan aur main, hum dono hum umar the. bas 6 maheenon ka farak tha hum donon mein. Barsat aur Nagina jaise filmon ke baad, hum logon ka ek baDa mazedaar 'group' ban gaya tha. AS: hum logon ka yaani? LM: hum log yaani, Shankar saahab, Shailendraji, Hasrat aur Mukesh bhaiyya. hum sab ek saath kaam bhi karte, ghoomne bhi jaate, tarzen bhi 'discuss' karte, aur kabhi kabhi bahut jhagDe bhi hote the. AS: jhagDe kis baat par? LM: bas chhoTi chhoTi baaton par, Khaas taur par Jaikishan ke saath. AS: achchha achchha, woh kaise? LM: kabhi main unki dhun ki buraayi kar doon, to kabhi woh meri awaaz par koi jhumla kar de. aur is tarah jab than thi tho dinon tak thani rehti. mujhe yaad hai, maine ek baar jhunjhlakar usse keh diya 'Jaao ab main tumhare liye nahin gaati, kisi aur se gawa lena', yeh keh kar main chal diya apne ghar. ghar pahunch kar main bhi pachhtaayi aur woh bhi pachhtaaye. lekin dono hi aDe rahe. phir Shailendra aur Shankar bhaai unhe pakaDkar mere ghar le aaye. aur bas phir dosti waisi ki waisi. ------------ --------- --------- --------- ------ Clip: aji rooThkar ab kahaan jaaiyega (Arzoo) ------------ --------- --------- --------- ------ AS: Lataji, ek Khaas baat humne paayi, hamesha Jaikishanji ke sangeet mein, woh yeh ki woh shastriya sangeet aur lok sangeet ka baDa hi sureela aur bada hi saral sangam pesh kiya karte the. to kya aap humein bataa sakti hain ki unhone baaqaayda taur par shaastriya sangeet aur lok sangeet seekha tha? LM: 'Classical' sangeet unhone seekha zaroor tha. par kisse seekha tha yeh mujhe ab yaad nahin hai. par haan itna zaroor yaad hai, ke woh aksar kaha karte the ki sangeet ka shauk unhe apni maataaji se mila. Gujarati lok geet woh gaaya karti theen aur yeh sun sun kar apne man mein utaara karte the. AS: lekin Lataji, Gujarati lok sangeet ka asar Jaikishan ke dhunon main to maaloom nahin hota tha? LM: yahi to Khaas baat thi Jaikishan ki dhunon mein. agar woh 'classical, folk, western' yaa Arabic sangeet se prerna paate the, to usey apne rang main Dhaalkar pesh karte the. 100 se zyaada filmon mein 'music' diya unhone Shankarji ke saath aur har film mein koyi na koyi nayi cheez zaroor thi. AS: aur un nayi cheezon mein un suhaani sureeli sabki man mein basne waali cheezon mein ek dhun woh thi jo san 1964 mein Geet Mala ki vaarshik sangeet ki choTi par bajee. Sangam. ------------ --------- --------- --- Clip: mere man ki gangaa (Sangam) ------------ --------- --------- --- doston usi saal Geet Mala ke geet 'number 2' bhi film Sangam ka tha. "yeh mera prem patra paDhkar" aur yahi the woh do geet jinse mujhe kuch kuch pataa laga ke jaise geet banT-te the Hasrat aur Shailendra mein, waise shaayad dhune bhi banT-ti thi Shankar aur Jaikishan mein. kyunki mujhe yaad hai Shankar bhaai bahut naaraaz huye the us saal Geet Mala par. aur unhone mujhse kaha bhi tha 'yeh kaise aapne "bol raadha bol" ko 'number 1' aur "yeh mera prem patra paDhkar" ko 'number 2' par bajaa diya?. Sangam ka sabse achchha geet to tha "dost dost na raha". ab doston main is 'controversy' mein na tab paDnaa chaahta tha na ab paDnaa chaahta hoon, kyunki mere liye to Shankar aur Jaikishan dono baraabar the. dekhiye donon mein pyar bhi bahut tha ek doosre ke liye. zara suniye to Jaikishan ke maut par, Shankar kaise TooT se gaye the. SH: Ameen bhai, main kya kahoon, mere zindagi ka saathi chala gaya, ab mere paas raha kya kehne ke liye. maine socha bhi nahin tha ke Jaikishan itni chhoTi umar mein hamko chhoDke chalaa jaayega. Khair. lekin uski baaten, jo usmein achchhi baaten thi woh saari duniyaa ko yaad rahegi. itna Khush, itna guNee apne kaam mein, apne sangeet mein, apni saari baaton mein milansaar, aur ek doosre se kaise milke rehna, ek doosre se kaise pyaar dikhana aur kaise pyaar lena, wohi jaante tha. woh to mujhe bhi nahin aata. aksar mujhe bhi DaanT-ta tha ki 'arre yaar tum to hamesha hi gusse mein rehte ho. kisi na kisi ko DaanT-te hi rehte ho'. lekin waqaai mein hi woh bahut pyaara tha, saari duniya uske liye aur uski Khoobsuratiyon ke liye, uske achchhe kaam ke liye, aur usne jo achchha kaam kiya hai, woh sab logon ko yaad rahega. ------------ --------- --------- --------- Clip: ae mere dil kahin aur chal (Daag) ------------ --------- --------- --------- behnon aur bhaaiyon kuchh der pehle maine baat cheDi thi Shankar saahab aur Jaikishan ke beech dhune banaane ke baTwaare ki. aur isi ke baare mein ek 'interview' mein Hasrat Jaipuri saahab ne mujhe kya bataaya tha? HJ: do tan aur ek jaan ki tarah Shankar Jaikishan bhi the, aur mera, main bhi aisa hi tha Shailendra ki aur main bhi wohi do tan aur ek jaan. lekin zyaada kaam hone ki wajah se tum kuchh karlo aur hum kuch kar lete hain. Jaikishanji mere saath baiTh jaaya karte the aur Shailendraji unke saath. lekin pehle na aise ittefaaq thi yaa aise koi baat nahin thi. Woh ek hi samajh leejiye unhone kiya to unhone kiya aur unhone kiya to unhone kiya. ek hi baat hai. donon ke naam saath aate the. lekin tarzen woh alag alag banaate the, haan yeh ho sakta tha woh ek doosre se poochh liya karte the, ke bhai dekho yeh hai, agar ismein kamee thi donon ka naam aata hai, isi tarah hum donon, 'bhai dekho yeh is tareeqe se hai, Shailendraji' . Shailendraji kehte the 'Hasrat miyaan dekho maine yeh Gazal likhi hai pehli martabaa, is mein kuch Galati to nahi hai!' to maine kahaa 'nahin aisi koi baat nahin hai'. agar mere zehan mein koi baat aisi aati hai ke jo fan ke Khilaaf hai to main bata deta. isi tareeqe se hindi geeton ke andar main usse poochh leta tha, to is tareeqe se miljul ke hum baDe prem aur pyaar se kaam kiya karte the. AS: lekin Hasrat bhai, abhi aapne kaha ki zyaadaatar Jaikishan aapke saath kaam karte the aur Shailendraji Shankar ke saath. lekin kai gaane aise bhi to hai jo aapne likhe aur Shankar ji ne unki tarz banaayi ho aur yaa Shailendra ne likhe ho aur Jaikishan ne tarz banayi ho? HJ: haan aise bhi kai gaane hain. bahut se gaane aise hain jo maine likhe aur Shankar-ji ne tarz banayee. aisa bhi hua Shailendraji ne gaane likhe aur Jaikishan ne tarz banayi. Woh to ek hi baat thi na. Naak idhar se pakDo ya udhar se pakDo kul milaakar to ek hi baat hai. par yeh gumaan aisa hota ki kabhi Shankarji ki tarz ho to log samajhte hain Jai ki hai, Jai ki agar koi 'tune' ho to log samajhte hain ki Shankar ki hai. yahi dhokhaa hamaare gaanon mein hota tha. mere gaane pe log kehte 'nahin saab, yeh to Shailendraji ka likha hua hai'. AS: haan ek gaana Khaas taur par mujhe yaad hai. HJ: Kaun saa? AS: mujhe yaani maine jab tak 'record' par paDhaa nahin tab tak mujhe yakeen nahin aaya, yeh dekhiye film thi aapki Chori Chori jismen bahut hi Khoobsoorat gaana tha aur woh rang jo us gaane mein hai woh Shailendra ka hai. jab paDhaa 'record' par tab pataa lagaa ki Hasrat saahab ka likha hua hai. yeh gaana tha woh... ------------ --------- --------- -- Song: rasik balmaa (Chori Chori) ------------ --------- --------- -- Sangeet ke Sitaron ke Mehfil ke kadardaanon, ab phir aa jaayiye Geet Mala ke choTi ki paydaanon ke Shankar Jaikishan ke bahaaron mein. ------------ --------- --------- ------ Song: bahaaron phool barsaao (Suraj) ------------ --------- --------- ------ woh mehboob to film Suraj se hota huya saalaana Geet Mala ki choTi par pahunch gaya tha san 1966 mein. lekin us se teen saal pehle, Jaikishan ki jeevan mein bahaar bankar aayi thi ek baDi pyaari, baDi Khoobsoorat, baDi suljhi hui laDki - Pallavi Mariwala. aage chalkar Jaikishan ki patni bani. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- -- Song: man bhaawan ki ghar jaaye gori (Chori Chori) ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- -- behnon aur bhaaiyon, maine yeh geet dulhan ki bidaai ka unke maike ke ghar se samjho ke bajaaya tha. Kyunke, Pallavi meri bhatiji ke samaan hai. dekhiye unke chacha jo hain Jaisingh Mariwala woh mere saath school mein paDhaa karte the aur bilkul bhaai ki tarah the. Aur behnon aur bhaaiyon Khaas Sangeet Ke Sitaaron Ki Mehfil ke is program ke liye maine Pallavi ko yahaan bulaaya hai taaki woh Jaikishan ke baare mein biwi ki nazar se kuch bataaye. AS: to Pallavi, sabse pehle yeh bataao, Jaikishan se mulaaqaat tumhaari kaise huyi aur kahan? PJ: Woh ji huyi thi 'cricket match' ke dauraan AS: 'Cricket Match' ke dauraan?

(both laugh together). us 'time' to nahin AS: achchha uske baad shaadi mein kitni der lagi aur gharwale jo the tumhaare woh raazi nahin ho rahe the? PJ: nahin, woh bilkul 'against' the. kyunki 'different backgrounds' ho gaye the. 'Film people' itne 'accepted' nahin the. AS: achchha achchha achchha. to phir shaadi huyi kaise? PJ: bas kar lee shaadi. 'elopement'. (Both laugh together) AS: 'Very good, Very good'. achchha chalo, shaadi ho gayi ab hum ek zaraa sa 'jump' lete hain aur pahunch jaate hain tumhaare ghar pe, Marine Drive pe baDaa hi Khoobsoorat ghar hai. tum donon wahaan rehte the aur kayi baras saath guzaare. aur main hamesha dekha karta tha tum dono ki joDi bahut achchhi lagti thi, bahut Khush rehte the dono.

PJ: 'husband' ho to aise! AS: lekin kaam unke paas itna rehta tha, ke parivaar ke liye kabhi samay milta tha unko? PJ: kaafi mil jaata tha, kyunki jaasti karke woh ghar se kaam karte the, 'composing' vageraah AS: achchha PJ: savere Hasratji aaya karte the ghar pe 9 baje.

AS: aur main hamaare sabhi sunnewaalon ki taraf se aur apni taraf se bhi, Pallavi yeh zaroor kahoonga, ki hum sab tumhaare saath roye the, bahut dukhi huye the, jab woh itni kam umar mein chale gaye. sirf 39 umar thi unki. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - Song: bedardi baalma tujhko mera man yaad karta hai (Arzoo) ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - behnon aur bhaaiyon, Sangeet Ke Sitaron ki Mehfil mein ab aanewaali hai Shankar Jaaikishan ki woh aaKhri rachna jo Asia bhar mein mahshoor 'hit parade program' Geet Mala ki saalaana sangeet seeDhee ki choTi tak pahunchi. woh dhun thi film Andaz aur saal tha 1971. ------------ --------- --------- --------- --- Song: zindagi ek safar hai suhaana (Andaz) ------------ --------- --------- --------- --- mujhe yaad hai ki Geet Mala mein Shankar Jaikishan ki kaamyaabi ki barson mein ek baar main us 'program' ki 'jubilee' par Shankarji ko bulaaya tha. aur unhone jo shubhkaamnayen dee thi us 'program' ko uska ek baDaa chhoTaa sa hissa main aapko sunwaata hoon.
