EIGHT STAGES OF LOVE

Sa Re Ga Ma, Rs.175

`The moon, flowers, stars, winds, streams, butterflies and clouds - at times these things seem to have been created only for lovers. Were it not for lovers, the beauty of the earth and the skies would be meaningless.' So goes Naseeruddin Shah's introduction to the first song in Jaane Kitni Sadiyon Se. Titled Eight Stages of Love, this album has eight songs, each touching upon a different mood of love, together painting an exhaustive picture of the emotion. . Javed Akhtar is at his romantic best. Metaphorical in the first song, the lyrics get more and more flowery, in sync with Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma's music. In Tumse Hui Dooriyan, both the lyricist and the composer pause to regard the hardships of the journey.Worth a buy.
