I think I have become the "frog in the well", listening to the same playlist. You can also suggest singers, composers, lyricists, albums etc.

@nerdfighter Bhai jisne agar glti se bhi ek baar Quartulain ko suna liya vo usse sunta hi rhta hai .Such is her voice
Quratulain reminded me of this. Peak sadboi hours song hai but v v beautiful.
came upon this song while reading about comparative mythology. such a pleasant coincidence
Wow...this is one of my all time favourite from Rehmaan Saab. For those wondering about comparitive mythology- in the last one minute or so, lyricist has drawn parallels from different mythological stories popular in the subcontinent. This a masterful attempt by Itshaad Kamil (I think this person deserves more. Have been following since Rockstar days. To put it more bluntly- Rockstar ke real Rockstars were Mohit Chauhan, Rehmaan, and Irshad Kamil).
Also the music. Like the story, it breaks the fixed patterns otherwise prevalent in a traditional bollywood songs- tempo remains same, banking on antara and mukhada. But not here. The highs are high (aati kaha ye jaati kaha kya pataaaaa....) and the lows are low (Birha ka dukh kaahe ho baanke Dikhe mohe tu hi jiya mein jo jhaankiye).
Something also on the fusion of the languages here.
It contains hindi- chali kahani, there is also one marathi word- faqth, then bit of Punjabi- chenaab ka dariyaa, isq se bhariyaa, influence of khadi boli (proto hindi?)- birhaa ka dukh kaahe ho banke, the use of the 'Jamna' instead of 'Yamuna'. And i was really shocked to see Sanskrit- Antat bhishan yudhum krandan !
The video of this song also deserves appreciation. How correctly it has attempted to capture the vivid imagery of a restless child (man ki chanchaltaa ko bakhubi ujagar kiya hai).
Some querky words further enhances the beauty of the song- Tirkit, Panghat, Sarpat, Chitt-put etc
And you know what's my favourite line?- preet meri piya baaton se na aankiye, mai hi mar jaau ya marey dooriyan....ufff
nerdfighter,thesleepyheadAll my wishing
It hasn't come through
Life's just like that
I am looking for
But when I find it
It will feel right
I've wished for control
It hasn't come through
But I won't push that
I've ever wanted
Is what I have and
That is all right

You'll may be cool, but are you this cool ?
Whenever my mind wanders from studying, my brain automatically sings this to me.
(Special attention from 2:40 seconds, where RD Burman skilfully cahanges the gear of the song. And what we noobs can say anything about Rafi saab. Phenomenal singing. I think he won that year's Filmfare for this)
