Yeh Silsile - Original Composition feat. George Kuruvilla

Yeh Silsile - Original Comp... Lyrics & Chords

I conceptualized this song after reading about couples who separate or get divorced and then get back together. I think it so happens that they realize that everybody has shortcomings and that they are indeed meant to be together, or that there is a lot of history between them that they can’t just leave behind. The song tries to explore some of the mixed emotions people might experience while getting back together. I wrote some portions of the song and then got stuck for ideas, which is when I approached Sajeevji. He liked the concept immensely and came back with his own thoughts and ideas in the form of lyrics, which we then merged with my lyrics and after a lot of editing and re-editing, the final lyrics were ready. I have never collaborated with anyone on lyrics, and a big thank you to Sajeevji for making it so easy.

George Kuruvilla needs no introduction. He is a fabulous singer with vast knowledge of various genres and an expressive voice with great range. We have been waiting to work together since 2008, and for me it was a fantastic experience to work with him. Immensely enjoyed the process, and he breathed life into this song in a way that only he could have.

Vocals and vocal processing: George Kuruvilla
Lyrics: Nitin Dubey and Sajeev Sarathie
Music, arrangement, programming and mixing: Nitin Dubey

Verse 1
लम्स वो, उन्स वो
मुझमे समाए हैं
(that touch, that love is still a part of me)

गुनगुनी यादों में,
रेशम के साए हैं
(there are silky shadows in my memory)

Verse 2
न दिन ढले, न शब जले
और आँखों में अश्क़ थमे हैं
(neither does the day set, nor does the night begin; even the tears in my eyes are frozen)

शीशे की डोर से हम
जज़्बात बाँधे खड़े हैं
(you and I stand here with our passions held in check, our emotions tied up with a fragile rope, as if made of glass)

ठहरे हैं आबशार
बहने को बेक़रार
गिरहें खुलें तो चलें….
(these waterfalls are tied up in knots, eager to flow again)

Chorus
यह सिलसिले, यूँ हैं चले
जैसे पहले से हों लिखे
तूने छू दिए तो पिघल गये
सारे ग़म सारे गिले….
(our story appears to be pre-ordained; your touch has healed my wounds)

Verse 3
ये रब्त तो, थे ज़ब्त से
सांसों में एक सदी से
(this relationship was stuck in my soul)

मैं हैरान हूँ कि आसमाँ
कैसे जुदा था जमीं से
(I now wonder how the sky and the earth managed to stay apart)

नाज़ुक-सी थीं वो दरारें
उस पार हम बिछड़े
और इस पार आके मिले
(we have crossed over the cracks in our relationship and met again on this side)

Chorus
यह सिलसिले, यूँ हैं चले
जैसे पहले से हों लिखे
तूने छू दिए तो पिघल गये
सारे ग़म सारे गिले….
(our story appears to be pre-ordained; your touch has healed my wounds)

George’s writeup below:

I am really happy to be uploading this song. I’ve been wanting to work with Nitin for a very long time and this is the first of hopefully many projects with him. He’s a really gifted composer and lyricist. There is something unique about his work that it touches you somewhere deep every single time. Yeh Lamha Jal Jayega and Kya Haseen Ittefaq Thaa are probably my two of my favorite original compositions on muziboo, but now its been replaced by THIS ONE! Its been such an amazing experience working on this project with Nitin and I want to thank him and Sajeev for this opportunity.

Beautifully done by both of you…. Perhaps the best original I have heard from both your respective sides. Congratulations!

I liked the concept of the theme especially, but can’t comment much on lyrics per se :) I am sure Sajeev has poured his heart and soul into it as well!

Cheers,
Meera

Pleasing performance from you both… Sajeev’s lyrics corroborated the melody… Liked the flow and the progression of the song… As you have mentioned, George has breathed life into this body/frame of your composition… :)

Very nice composition Nitin! Arranged and engineered well too, especially with the complexity of the instrumentation. Awesome singing George, loved the harmonies and refrains at the end!

Brilliant. If first impression counts as the best, you guys bettered it.

Nitin – the tune flows very naturally as would a river down on silt with no hurdles.

George – Your vocals have kept the spirit of the song intact. The best thing I like about your renditions is that you ensure that your malleable vocals do not ever overpower the melodic needs of the song.

Dear George & Nitin,

In Muziboo, I think this is my dream team. I have always wanted both of you to come up with a song. I am very impressed that such a genuine and mature theme was selected. The lyrics written has done great justice to the concept. Sajeev is a wonderful person, I envy his talent to be able to adapt to any kind of situation. The composition of this song evokes that monotonous feeling that most relationships today contain, but the vocals present a new flavor to the audience. The vocal processing and the climax of the song is worth mentioning.

PS: Nitin, I maybe the odd one out here. But, I have to say that this is not your best composition :). Maybe, coz the style you have done here is not my favorite. Nonetheless, it will attract a lot of audience.

Excellent work guys.

Nitin, perfect composition for George’s singing style. That certainly is a strength of a good composer. Great work with the arrangements, sounded very fresh. The melody, as with all your other songs, was very pleasing indeed.

George, you rocked this one – great vocals and harmonies. Felt the backing vocals towards the end there could be a bit mnore subtle/lower volume – the ‘oooo’ humming @ 3:27 sounded a bit jarring to my ears. These are nitpiks ofcourse.

Lovely lyrics by Sanjeev too.

A pro output overall. One of the best originals here in muziboo for sure.

AWESOME!!!
THIS WILL BE MY DREAM SONG IN MUZIBOO!
Theme is just the necessity of today’s world.
Lyrics emphasizes on the thought of various emotions – even confusion, a sense of longing to be together, still with the wounded/sweet memories. Is it not the TRUTH of Life???

This song holds a special place in my heart, for various reasons unsaid……
George ……… ’Silsile, …1.55 onwards …
Extremely well done.
Regarding the feel factor, every emotion has been portrayed to depict a visual scene.
Vocals, singing style touched my heart deeply.
Nitin ….Lovely compotition….
A pained heart will know the worth of this beautiful piece of music….
George…… U broke me down completely…. but then made me smile toooooo after………3.22……
Ta ta …… OOOOOOOOO…….Am a great fan of yr songs…… Professional singing and excellent team work.
Many thanks to the whole team for the effort involved. Love to hear many more.FAVORITES and LOTS OF LUCK!!

MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Grtttttttt song!! Thorough professional. On the very first listening only, people will get hooked to it, believe me. The pathos in George’s voice is unmatched… same goes for Nitin’s and Sajeev ji’s words.

Enjoyed it completely.

Thanks,

Nice collaborative effort guys.

Nitin – Great composition and arrangement. Wish Guzarish was made now and this could have surely been picked up for the same. Not too late though for Mr. Bhansali to pick this up for his next project.

George – Amazing vocals. What I like here the most is your diction, which is as good as any professional.

Sajeev & Nitin – Excellent lyrics. Very meaningful.

Positives:
soothing song
great composition
Nice Chord Progression
Great music arrangement.
George’s voice
Negative:
After reading the theme behind this song. I was impressed but I couldnt find that theme when went to complete song. Probably my problem. But I felt stress was more on music. Which I thought may be would have been on the Words and Expressions.
Would have been better if we would have FEMALE singing in this.

Again my perspective

Right now away from Composing Songs. Forgot how to Compose….

Hi Nitin
No comments. Beautiful piece of music. The more I listen to your music, the more I feel like touring back to the golden era of indian music. The era of the legends like Gulzar, Pancham Da combination.
So you are definitely going to be up there, where we all wish to reach some how. Lots og good wishes.
