Yaar, the above doesn't at all relate to why you like or dislike this song. I concede that I find it so uncharacterstic of ARR to compare his own work with waka waka even if by negation, may be media caught him unprepared and he uttered something he didn't meant to. Still, whatever he said that raised the expectations, even without him having said anything, expectation with an ARR song are always high, so nothing became worse or bad by him uttering so. > > 2.

Frankly, I haven't heard waka till now fully though it reaches ears now and then, but agains dear, you seem to be comparing ARR song with waka. > > 3. ARR's music n compositions r difficult to understand for many > people, it takes time to grow, though many people cant understand > his music even afer 100 times listen. Thinking about it, I think he should give such growing songs for his fans. He should not give growing song that he knows world will listen who don't know about this growing effect and might not bother to give it time to grow. > > 4.

Shahzad, having read this insightful mail, I still haven't got a clue what exactly you don't like in this song. You seem to be regular ARR fan hence used to analyze music, still you are just giving the judgment "not even close to the capability of ARR", that's all. Would it be possible for you to give some elements that you didn't like in it, or could you compare it to ARR's other song highlighting some effects that ARR could use to bring such elements that were required in this song please? Asking you to undergo this drill only because you seem analytical so you can do it. I am not dictating anything. Just think that "not even close to the capability of ARR" wouldn't be any useful to ARR as a feedback. Some concrete element of deeds or lack of them would be useful to him to understand what people wanted in this song. -- Rawat
