Today's Song: Mujhe Gale Se Laga Lo by Asha Bhonsle

[audio:Mujhe Gale Se Laga Lo.mp3]

Mujhe Gale se laga lo from the movie “Aaj aur Kal” sung by Asha (Music by Ravi & lyrics by Sahir)

This is a beautiful song.  It somehow captures the pathos of a girl who is need of love.. can see it in front of her but cannot get it.  She takes the courage to ask her beloved but cannot assert.

The extent and the power of her longing, need, and passion is so understated and graceful in its articulation and rendering.  This song also shows the great talent of Asha Bhonsle’s voice.  It had a lot of power in its understated rendering.

This song has two versions – one, only by Asha; and second, a duet between Asha and Rafi.  Below are the Youtube versions of both.  This song also captures the feelings of a friend I know very well.
