Giving less credit to lyricist. Is it right?

But we get only MTV or V channel :( :( :(

Ask your cable operator if he can do it. :)

"Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein"...one of the most romantic songs of Indian cinema.
Why is this song remembered till now....for music or singers or words?
I will say, definitely because of its powerful words, this song has become such a huge hit. Isn't it?

If you really ask me i remember it for singer as MUKESH sang it beautifully but the words are also beautiful but i still don't know who wrote it and i bet many of the people don't know it. :)

This is creditable. You know singe's name. But I remember only the name of movie, Kabhi Kabhi and the actor onscreen namely Amitabh Bachan. Individual interets differ. Those very keenly interested in music may remember name of lyricist, music director and play back singer. Others would not care or forget.

Earlier, I had a friend who worked with me in a school. We two were teachers. What to say...I am no one before that man!!!!
He knows almost all hit songs from 50's to 70's.....I think so. You may think, it is not extraordinary. But if I say, if he knows correct count of songs in each film, its singers, its music director, how many songs were written by Sahil, how many were written by Hasrat and how many by Kaifi Azmi.........can you even imagine what kind of a person is he??? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

But he is saying...once he had a talk with an elder person(of course he is a Malayali). But when the conversation begin, he felt that he was just a drop before that huge ocean......and that before his knowledge and questions, he had no reply.... :laugh: :laugh: He also said that he never went to talk to that person later after, about songs...... :cheer:

My take is that a song appeals to us with its melody and when one takes deeper interest in it then lyrics gain importance!

Yes...as Gulshanji has quoted, normal persons see it as a means of entertainment.... not even bother about other details

No, I don't see that normal way!

I don't see that as mere means of entertainment! It's more than that. Some songs inspired me to write poems!!!{CJATTACHMENT ["id": 6108]}

another copy cat caught......ha ha

Actually, I also begin to hear words, once I start writing. Hindi is really a simple language. But the power of the lines constructed from simple words...can never be explained!!!!

Isn't it a combined effort, actor, director, music and writer all count in that.

Yes, of course...even the instruments used can make a big difference. Isn't it?

The equation is quite simple. Those who work in front of the screen earns more money than those who work hard behind the screen.

But directors and of course music directors and singers also earn not less!!!! :evil:

I think lyricists have also accepted that fact.
That's why they are producing lyrics instantly in packets of already prepared music. i.e. writing lyrics without effort nowadays

Latest hit Kolaveri di is the perfect example of it!

and yet, after a time, such effortless songs vanish from the hearts of listeners. Songs that have been written from one's heart, example the songs of yester years by maestros such as Gulzar remain forever fresh and equally loved by all. Which is why, I feel that a lyricist is more important, without the lyrics, a composer and music director will not have much to work with!

I am thinking of a career switch - would try writing lyrics! But then who is going to sing them!! {CJATTACHMENT ["id": 6338]}
