Dasvidaniya: Music by Kailash Kher, Naresh and Paresh Kamath
“Alvida”: composed by members of well known Indian band ‘Kailasa’.
Kailash Kher has sung the song beautifully, and the music composed by Kailash Kher, (Naresh and Paresh) Kamath Brothers. (I hear even the drums are played by Kurt Peters, who also plays for Kailasa, so I didn’t get why they didn’t give credit to the band as music composer, may be some legal issues).
The song is a very well composed, has got nice guitar parts, harmonies, great rhythm guitar, and a great chorus section, all elements that is needed to make a great soft rock ballad.
From composition point of view, I always felt, they could have added a harmony in fifth at the lines “Ye hi hai sach to har pal ko”. If any of you trying to do a cover of the song, try that. Also, feel free to send me a link to any youtube clip or so of any cover version you have done. I will be happy to link it up (of course, editor’s discretion will be in full force).
A note about the movie, while I am at it. Its one of the wonderful little movie of this year, and a movie with a message. Watch it in case you have missed. Rated by very critical online movie watcher bloggers at PFC (Passion For Cinema), its amongst the best of the year 2008.
There was even a remix version of the song, but I thought the original version was way better, essentially because the feel of the song doesn’t lend itself very well to be a dance tune. But I guess, like in 80’s, many songs had its ’sad’ counterpart, nowadays, the ‘remix’ counterpart is a common inclusion. Check the version here.

I would put the chords and tabs of the song once I figure them out. And if any of you have already worked it out, send it to me, I will put it here (with credits to you, of course).
Apart from Alvida, the other songs from the movie were so so. With due respect to Kailasa’s music, I am just trying to be critical here, and writing about the best song of the album. The song ‘Muskura’ sung by Sonu Nigam is very reminiscent of Mohd Rafi style.

Do not forget to check this instrumental version of the same song, which has the true 70’s feel to it (accordian and clean guitar sound).

The song Mumma by Kailash Kher is another good one too.
