I know this sounds weird. I mean, come on, songs are supposed to be heard right? Well yes and no. Just like you cannot taste food by holding your nose, in the same way, certain videos make certain songs a whole lot better. Now I don't mean the item songs when I say all this. They are meant for pure entertainment value. Not that all item songs are bad, a 'Kajra Re...' from Bunty aur Bubly is a good song in itself. But somehow they are not considered very good, just because of what they stand for.
Now, coming back to the topic, the recent song 'Pani da Rang' from Vicky Donor got me thinking. What if we just heard this song instead of watching the video as well? Would we have ever imagined the video as it is? When we hear 'Pani da Rang', the things which come to mind would normally be the rain, a river, maybe a waterfall, for the highly imaginative. But definitely not a girl being serenaded by her boyfriend, as it appears, sitting in a balcony, in the middle of a city!
This is what I want to say, a video sometimes adds so much to a song. A good video makes a song memorable. Take some examples here, would 'Iktara' have been so serene if we didn't see the waves lap up over Konkana's feet as Ranbir tried in vain to get a good picture, succeeding in the end? Would 'Hosanna' have been so sweet if we didn't see Prateik putting all his effort into impressing the girl of his dreams, Amy? Would 'Tum Ho Toh' have been so haunting without Arjun's expression as he hears his song being performed Live by Magik on the radio? Would 'Uff Teri Ada' been so darn good a dance track, and brilliant song in general without the chemistry between Farhan and Deepika?
So next time you hear a song, I'm sure you would be thinking about the video as well. It makes the experience that much better. Keep listening!
Here's the links to the songs I've just spoken about. Some of my favourites they are. Enjoy :-)
