Tu Hi Meri Dost Hai - Duet with Meera Manohar
Tu Hi Meri Dost Hai - Duet... Lyrics & Chords
This is my first collaborative effort with Meera Manohar. Meera is relatively new to Muziboo but has been audio blogging for a long time. She is a regular performer in live shows in the Bay area. She has a very distinct melodious voice and is classically trained. I am really glad that she has joined Muziboo and am sure she’s going to be a great asset to our community. You can count on her for honest feedback! I want to thank Meera for giving me this opportunity. You can find more info about her on her blog
This is probably the most recognized song from the movie Yuvraaj.There are some variations in our version as compared to the original. We’ve introduced some harmony to add color to the song and make it sound fuller.
The chords for the final part of the Karaoke track (from aawaaz ka dariyaa) is quite messed up. Meera has sung that part of the song with her ears literally shut. We would appreciate if listeners could shut their mind off to the background score in that part…
Looking forward to hearing from the Muziboo community on our rendition.

Guys, both of you have done a great job on this song. :-) I also like the improvisations done in this song. Keep rocking!
Maruthi said
George this is not one of your Pearls….I can see the pain in this song s missing in your vocals….I know A.R.R used a bit of vocoding subtly if you can care to feel where ? Great singing no doubt about both of you …….your calibre of singing deserves a cut above then this both of you. 4.99999999 from meDhiraj Barla said
No second thoughts on how great the attempt was, you both were awesome, but IMHO, i thought the energy levels were little less compare to the original, nice improvisations/harmonies in the middle, George i felt you could have sung this with a little more feel(happy)…. at some places you were very subdued in your rendition. Meera you have sung it really well, but i thought your start was not that great compare to your lift from Raath Mein, you were awesome from that moment. Great job guys, Keep up the good work (4/5 from me).

George , I love this song and also Tu muskara is my latest favourites ….often listen to it on my drive to work……this is a very melodius song ….I think you should have been a bit softer, in the voice throw. The throw took away some charm….Meera sounds really great ….on the whole I liked it ….but still for some reason this rendition ….didnt touch me like the original. Great effort though ….full marks from me for the collective effort !!

Hi George – I liked this overall. IMO this is a difficult song to render given the highs and the lows. Keeping that in mind I think both of you did fantastic job.
George – I think the start could have been better. 1:34 “Aaja…” sounded much better. But apart from that I think you did very well.
Harmonies were good. I like the way you add your own stuff to the originals….
Meera -You have a very good voice. You did a very good job. I felt couple of pronunciation issues but those were minor, not a distraction at all. Hope to hear many more from you.
Thanks
Anirban

Thanks for your feedback Anirban…. I had a tough time with the start… the karaoke track starts abruptly and the timing is slightly different from the original too. This made it very difficult to get it right. I will see if something can be done to improve the start…

I have a k-track which is different from the one you used. But it has the “wo-ho” start by the original singer….let me know if that works for you …i can send it to you. ( not sure if the tempo of the two tracks is the same)

That was nicely done both of you :)
George – you sounded really nice :)…thoda aur feel would have been better….also i think the word is ‘hawao’ and not ‘hawau’ but you are getting better with your hindi diction :) also IMHO ‘gungunate….saaz par’ was slightly off.
Meera – good to hear your first hindi number on muziboo :) Your have a very nice voice :) I thought you could have put in a bit more feel in it too :) Other than that very nicely sung by you . A few pronounciations to watch our for in your next hindi rendition “kabhi”, “aankhon”….
Overall very good job by both of you :) Dil mange more :)

Pls listen to my ‘Jab Se Tere Naina’ attempt.

said
Amrita – Thanks a lot for your feedback. Will do your track soon.
Soumitra- Thanks for your feedback man. Hopefully if I sing enough hindi songs, my pronounciation will get there someday :) As far as gungunate… saaz par being off, I would have to disagree there… I think the layer of harmony has that effect…

Enjoyed this very much. The harmonies were done very subtly and enhanced the performance. This was a great performance by both of you. Keep it up.
Meera – welcome to muziboo, you have a nice tone in your voice. Look forward to more songs from you.
Soumitra Sarkar said
George,
No worries mate….the harmony effect in that case sounded a bit off to me ! Ofcourse its my humble opinion and you dont have to agree :) But thought i would point it out since just leaving a usual “a line or two seemed slighty off” comment does not serve any purpose for improvement for me or for anybody else !! Anyway it does not in anyway take away from your very good rendition :) Keep singing :)
How about a farmaish – Bheegey Honth Tere ? Your western style of singing will be apt for this song :) Whenever you have time :)
- Soumitra
Pls listen to my ‘Jab Se Tere Naina’ attempt.

Kumar – Glad you liked this cover and even more glad that you liked the harmonies…
Soumitra – Thanks again mate…. I think the harmonies in this case was a little more complex than the usual and might not be blending as well as it should (on the line you pointed out).

George,
Start could have been much better. Sounded slightly pitchy at places. Seems u got a K track which starts abruptly. Is it?
Some diction issues, like “KHALAOON” sounded KHALAAU….but not major, with more hindi songs it will come good…….for me the feel was apt….i tend to disgree royally with everyone who commented about the FEEL of the rendition……The song could easily substitute the original in the movie……cos i could visualize the song while listening to this one……ur modulations were very good……ur western style singing suited the song well…….
Meera-Well, no words to describe ur voice….its perfect….and complimented George very nicely……u matched George in every aspect…….There are very few duet songs of George, where the female vocals make a strong impression….So ur voice and vocal prowess works for me….
Loved the harmonies too……
Kudos guys, looking forward to hear more duets from you guys……
Regards,
AJ

Hi George & Meera,
both of you have done your best for this song. Although the movie did not make much impact, this song is definitely a lovely tune . Its a kind of mixed emotion which both of you have given it 100%. Needless to say about the mixing is fantastic as usual.
Gops said
Outstanding performance by both George & Meera.
Every song evokes in you a feel & even slight changes/ nuances bring out new feelings. You guys were amazing; George your start sounded to me a bit like Adnan Sami, you have your unique individuality & I loved it thoroughly.
Meera was smooth & soothing throughout….I have become her big fan.
This song requires very strong adherence to correct pitching and both of you were up to it.
In my view, this song has to be sung with a very husky tone, but still with a punching power….
I would not compare the Original with the Cover, since you guys have grown now to a stature beyond compare with your stamp on it.
Full marks to both of you. Way to go….God Bless.
Cheers….Gops
Love All Serve All

RK, Smitha, Ramya, Danie, Rashmi, AJ, Abi and Gops – Thanks a lot for listening and for your insightful feedback.
AJ – yeah man the k track had a very abrupt start that made singing the initial part a little challenging. Was contemplating redoing that portion but decided against it. I agree about the Hindi, but I will get there… One step at a time I guess :-)
I am so glad everyone got a chance to listen to Meera’s wonderful voice. I’m sure she will treat us to plenty more in the future.

George… u did it again!! Awesome singing and expressions were lovely. I loved all the harmonies except for one. I second Gops on the huskiness… try giving a huskie feel to certain words… am sure it will add more beauty to ur rendition… This is brilliant!
Meera: liked ur singing and voice. I have listened to ur songs… u r an excellent singer. somehow felt the starting 2 lines were little nasal…
George u did an excellent job with mixing!!!

Very good effort, George:) Liked the harmonies in general. Noticed some minor pitchy portions…

Rajesh Sulabha said
Dear George,
Well done; similar or better to ur “Kahi Na Lage”.
Trust me, its a miracle the way you control your vocal cords; it fits and suits any type of song independent of languages and pitches. a minor exception with your one Malayalam song which needed improvement.
From my past two months around here, you are the best in Muziboo in English and Hindi songs; even Elton_John, Bryan_Adams, George_Michael, Shaan and Sonu_Nigam will/must become a fan of you.
And your voice, anyone from any continent would love it forever. Pls give low priority for your networking/engineering/technology skills; from my intuition, your vocal cords evolved for better mission in life to make many music-lovers happy by your great voice.
Forget the so called playback singers of movies and albums around the world; its their profession, if not job. The talented singers like you are the ones represents the true people’s artists in my personal views.
3:26m to 3:32m, “aawaz ka dariya”, sounds like bit out of pitch; excuse for I’m not so familiar with the orignal record.
Dear Meera,
Good one. I’ll follow your other songs as well next days/weeks.
From 2:54m to 3:04m is so beautiful. May be some minor errors b/w 5:08m and 5:52m. overall you two done very well.
Waiting for more songs from you two.
regards and best wishes,

George and Meera, you both have performed amazingly great! :) Even the delay effects to vocals at places have done nice job to make it a wonderful piece of art. At high notes, you both were awesome mostly, though you may still want to expand the range of notes you can cover.
Overall, its definitely a must listen marvel on Muziboo. Cheers for the dedication you both have put in.

Good job guys. Mixing was very cool. Love the complete feel of this song. Meera- must say you have a very delicate and passionate feel to your voice. I felt at moments George was a little harsh executing the high notes (softer notes would have done wonders to the melody), nonetheless, good powerful rendition.
Keep it up!

This is a song that I have been listening to for the past three weeks every time I drive my car, and so I know how the original sounds like. I should say that you guys have done a decent job. George I think as many have said, you could have made it better on the emotional front if you had put more effort on the finer aspects of singing.Instead of trying to finish off in two or three tries, if you take more time on each part you would be able to perfect each part. You have a terrific melodious voice which rightly suits modern hindi songs! You are a born singer and one of the most gifted talents here on Muziboo.
Meera you sounded so mellifluous as usual. Only flaw was your pronunciation at some parts and towards the end your voice seemed wavering in pitch. Though it sounds simple it’s not an easy song to sing and you both have done a good job.

very nice rendition…both of you!!!….as to the feedback…i guess everybody else has already done that…Meera i think this is the first time i heard u…quite liked it….n George, as i already said in some other post, we r all spoilt wid ur flawles renditions….need i say more!!!….but overall a wonderful one!!
Jeffy Jose said
hey bro this was prety gud… meera has dun a wnderful job….shes got a very gud voice nd she sang wel….pinne u, that i dnt hav to say, awesome as usual….=D
Sumit Rai said
George , this is not as good as your other songs. To me you didn’t sound too comfortable in this song. i guess you need to smile more while singing this one. If i were you i would give this one more attempt and try to sing as kishore kumar would sing this song.
The female voice sounded more pleasant.

I had few pointers to make it PERFECT….
I felt “aaWAz ka DAriya”….was little different tha original…if I am correct….I mean their is SMALL HARKAT on the bold letters in original….
Also, “BEhata hoo MEIN” was little differnet…
Alos, ’AAWAZ hoo MEIN" had problems
