Atif Aslam – Channa (Coke Studio Season 6, Episode 3)320kbps

Singer: Zoe Viccaji
Featuring: Sumru Ağıryürüyen
Language: Urdu & Turkish

In connecting musical roots, Zoe Viccaji brings her version of a melody that has traveled across the globe in many forms to now be presented as ‘Ishq Kinara’. She had heard the song in its Turkish equivalent – ‘Üsküdar'a Gider İken’ - and upon delving into the origin of the song, was inspired by not only the melody but the universality of its tune in the way that it has been reinvented in many different cultures across the globe. Given the driving inspiration behind Zoe’s connection with the melody was in her Turkish experience of the song, the composition was bridged with the vocals of Sumru Ağıryürüyen bringing the traditional Turkish song to the fold lending a link to its root. Sumru states that while ‘Üsküdar’a Gider İken’ stems from the old, Anatolian neighborhood of Üsküdar in Istanbul, the Turkish version’s roots connect even further to several other countries - Bosnia, Scotland and beyond. This fact was further confirmed by members of L’Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio in Rome, Italy, who had heard versions of the same melody. The Turkish version of the song primarily dealt with the theme of the despair caused by Loss in the name of Love, however Zoe, in connecting with the song personally, lyrically made her version about the idea of independence and self-realization in the name of Loss. ‘Ishq Kinara’ talks of the last moment of vulnerability as a relationship is severed, and looks on to being complete within one’s Self after the Loss. With an upbeat mixed canvas of instrumentation from Italy, Turkey, Morocco and Pakistan, the song becomes Pakistan’s version of the mysterious melody.

Sajjad Ali – Tum Naraz Ho

Sajjad makes his return to the Coke Studio platform with “Tum Naraaz Ho” from his album entitled ‘Love Letters’. The Coke Studio composition has transformed Sajjad Ali’s soft pop ballad into a candlelit rock ballad with monochromatic piano lines. Sajjad through his vocal delivery and heartwarming lyrics has painted the ballad in soft, more mature shadings that comes out as pained but the effect is both beautiful and comforting. The song is one that is personal to Sajjad, as it encapsulates the stomach fluttering poignancy detailed in emotional desire. Lyrically the song is more oriented to clear narratives and realistic images that capture the intense yearning of a lover. Throughout the composition there are spare, open moments of longing vocals over solitary string sections. The eastern influence of the flute and dhol brings the underlying melancholy to the song, evoking a sense of nostalgia. Celebrated Faraz Anwar returns with an exemplary solo that builds in intensity as it progresses. The short and sharp shockwave sees Anwar’s fretwork at its finest adding dramatic rock oomph to the mellow and warm song.

LYRICS “Cracks (All That You Wanted)”
(Music and Lyrics: Greg Tudeski)

Black cat crossing you way
You never believed in signs
Dark sky and angry clouds
They said it would clear, anyway
Telltales and clues ignored
I guess it’s complicated
But how could you
And how could he be fine
Pushing for the finish line?
One drop too much
Or maybe two
Shifted perspective in a flash

CHORUS:
Part of the veil
Just came crashing down
And he says
And he swears
That he still loves you

Cracks are coming through
It’s starting to fail
And he hides
And he lies
Nothing is happening

But the core is melting
Sending sparkles and flares
The fire is raging
Soon it’ll all be ashes

All that you wanted
Was a fairy tale
They are fragile
And twisted


Small talk and weather news
Of course, he had a tough day at work
TV to hide the blues
While trying to ignore the clock
Don’t broach anything touchy
Better being safe than sorry
But how could you
And how could he be fine
When the cold is freezing your spine?
Is the heartbeat now failing
Only because you stopped caring?

CHORUS

The writing is on the wall
But you’re not able to see all
Not yet. Not now.
One day. You’ll know

CHORUS

Cracks. (All That You Wanted)

Aankhon ke Saagar.. Hontoon ke Saagar..
Le doobe Hamain.. Le doobe Hamain..
