Ankhon mein teri - Cover by Raj

Ankhon mein teri - Cover by... Lyrics & Chords

Hope you like my cover of this popular melody “Ankhon mein teri” from the movie “Om Shanti Om”.

There is a small story behind my effort. I wanted to cover this song for some time as this was a favorite of my wife. But it got delayed as was not sure how this might come out (if you thought Muziboo has some of the toughest musical critics, then you have not met my wife :-) I am planning to play this to my wife only after some good reviews. So lets see!

This is a beautiful melody and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed singing and mastering it. Please try listening using headphones or earphones for best effect. Thank you for your comments!
Raj

Movie: Om Shanti Om (2007)
Song: Ankhon mein teri ajab si

Hi Swaraaj,
Beautifully sung and one of my favourite song that you have rendered very nicely. No doubt and no need to have any comments or feedback from anybody. Your wife is very lucky to have a husband cum singer like you. I don’t think that anybody can challenge me in this regard. Give my regards to her.

OMG Swaraaj
This recording is sooo good (I am comparing it with your very first)! You have sung so beautifully. Mixing is awesome too! Slightly nasal in very few places (eg. 1:40) but nothing much to worry about….

And we are all waiting to know how your better half received it :)

Very good attempt… You have sung with slight variations. You have very good voice and the recording was very good. Little more expressions and more punch in the vocals would have sounded better…

Nicely sung, Swaraj…and in a style of your own, rather than KK’s style of mixing a blast of raw energy here and there…
A bit nasal, like a few veterans already pointed, but nice feel overall….:)

Very nice rendition, Swaraaj! Really sweet idea to dedicate this to your better half – she is sooo lucky! :-)
Only nitpicks are you could be more open at the higher registers (thereby losing the slight nasality…) and also pronunciation could be a tad better…
Thumbs up from me! Hope the Wife loves it!

Raj! Your prologue about this cover and its intent has brought a smile to my gloomy face… :-) And with that, you have just put a bug to the listeners’(married, of course) ears – anyone can sweeten his/her nuptial life through music as this… An adorable gesture… And demand to shop something can be put-forth after such posts of songs… :-)

Your song-pick says it all… Am nobody to comment on the diction and other parameters… But could say only one thing which I noticed – the high registers could have been dealt with an open-throat as strain is scattered there when u hit those notes with nasal-influence… A nitpick of course… And the flow with which u rendered this is amazinggggg…. Very soothing like a feather-touch to the soul…. And take care of the clarity in the delivery of notes, as in few places I spotted u were missing out the confidence with which u have started this song…. A perfect recording tagged with a splendid mastering with an enviable voice has intrigued me to mark this as one of my favourites… Good Luck…

P.S: Hope the comments serviced are more than enough to appease ur wife… If not pass the buck to us… ;-)

Thanks & Regards,

Swaraaj said

Dear friends, thank you all SO MUCH for taking the time, and for the valuable comments for this cover! Thank you for the compliments and also the constructive feedback! This means a lot to me!

Adithi, Meena, NVK sir, Sudha, Praveen, Raj, would keep it mind re nasal sound etc for the next ones!

Also, thank you for the good feedback re mixing. Based on feedback from prior songs, I was careful not to over-process the vocals but still touch it just right. Also spent quite a bit of time making sure it sounds good on different kinds of speakers: earphones, headphones, open speakers and car ones too (In case I have to play to my wife while driving ;-) Atleast for me, it was a huge mixing challenge to make it work well (or acceptable) across the board. But learnt some new things along the way.

Thank you once again for the nice words! I may after all be ready to play this song to my wife Veena now :-) Will keep you posted!

Dear Swaraj ji

You selected a song which is one of 2 songs of recent years which I really like (other being “Jab se tere naina….”). You have sung it very nicely with clear vocals and with technical excellence which is only to be expected from an artist of ur caliber. While the singing is very apt, higher notes needed a bit better handling ….but overall I tell you…YOU ROCKED….congratulations….keep up the grand work….regards

Hi Swaraaj,

Very good singing wise. Good clarity in recording… Nice voice and soothing effect….

and a good ktrack……

1) Could sing with more feel!!

2) I think u are a kannadiga…. I think u should improve on the pronunciation of Hindi Words….

3)And the ‘Adaayen hain’ , ‘Hawaayen hain’ parts of the song – you have sung it with a flat landing. You could sing that muchhhhh better….

4) Liked it!!!

5) Important question – Did u do the mixing as well?

Cheers

I do think there should be a little more punch on ‘adaayein hain’ and ‘hawaayein hain’, but doesn’t matter given that it has so much emotion in it!

Dear Swaraj….nice work.
Your voice has a nice earthy texture and sound very innocuous :)
You need to learn how to ‘steal’ breaths at the right points in your song….at certain points you sounded slightly out-of-breath. That apart pay special focus on the lower notes….that will take your singing to the next level. Just my 2 cents :)
