Mar Jaawaan ( Cover version )
Mar Jaawaan ( Cover version ) Lyrics & Chords
Heard this song for the very first time from a couple of Muzibians ( Neha & Srividya ). Was contemplating about doing this when Srividya left me a scrap saying “maybe you should try this number….” So, asked her for the track yesterday and here it is for your ears :-)
Song goes out to Manohar, my husband. This is for you Manu, for all your dedication and hard work towards the Big Sur marathon that happened day before. Congratulations!!! You have survived the beast aka the wind, and undoubtedly a brutally difficult course :-)
Some things you might want to know (aah, here it comes!)
1. Still striving to get my Hindi pronunciation right, hopefully would like to think I have got kHwaab & AnkHon ( at the very least) right this time LOL All your diction corrections and suggestions keep me going. So, thanks in advance!
2. Some improvs from the original. Have tried some classical stuff as well as a few straight western notes to keep the flavour of the song intact.
3. Changed my voice a little here and there to suit the mood. Hopefully the mood is conveyed :)
4. Played with the rhythm here and there :P
Thanks Srividya for being so prompt with the track and thanks Smitha for forwarding it to Srividya :)))
And yes, best enjoyed in headphones.

Glad to be the first one commenting on this :-) I am really happy you decided to sing this one. I had to listen to it 3 times to assimilate all your improvisations :-)
Beaaauuutifully sung! Loved all the classical touches u gave to the song. Thought it blended very well. Your diction is almost close to perfection this time. The only thing I noticed that in the pallavi, it should be “Bheege Bheege sapnon KA jaise khat hai”.
5/5 for sure!

Meera, liked your voice texture in this song. Except for the few places where your voice was off pitch and sharper at 1.41 and 2.40 and for the pronunciation issues it has come out very nicely. Esp the feel :)

Hi Meera,
Nice modulations and voice control…very different from your usual choice of songs, and you have sung it beautifully…
The sangathis have a light carnatic influence, but sounded good!
Keep Singing!

Very pro stuff. And yeah, I didn’t notice much diction issues here.
This song is in such a low scale, and husky voice, not really easy for everyone to attempt this. But you have done a fab job on it, modulations are awesome!

I heard this before, but I think that I forgot to leave a comment last time….
Very apt choice of song for your voice. Its “Bheegi Bheegi” not Beegi Beegi…. Harkaths were awesome, your improvisations were very good too…. Keep an eye on your diction, it needs little more polish, other than those small things this rendition is top notch.

Very beautifully rendered.
But I must admit I smiled when I heard “soche dil ke” – the only place where I heard a strong thyaagaraja krithi effect. Of course tother places like silwate have slight carnatic touches but overall the song sounded great with a lot of micro brighas very crisply rendered.
Your base voice lifts the song and the spirits.

Wowwwwwww, another divine voice on Muziboo.
Wonderful rendition. 5/5 from me and it goes to my favourites too.
Thank you Meera, your name is apt for you, try singing Lord Krishna’s praises also my request to you….even if it is in Malayalam that also is fine….though I do not understand Malayalam….for me the soul in the song is important like in this one.
My soul moves on to listen to other songs of yours.
Take Care,
Keep the faith always,
Peace be with you,
God Bless You….

Beautiful Meera! I liked your modulated husky voice. Also loved the carnatic influences here and there. I am not qualified enough to comment on the diction issues though. I felt the vocals volume was a little low, not sure though!
Keep it up!
