Hey Bhagwan !!!!

The first time I heard this song I literally had a smile on my face and felt lighter after listening to this song. Its been one my favorites since its release. I actually went to the music store and bought the original record instead of downloading the song.

It gives a reggae feel. Violin and guitar are beautifully weaved into the song.
Although it cant be classified into one fixed genre, I would call it a mixture of folk, Reggae and some soul music. Click "Play" on the link below and read on..


Raghu Dixit - Hey Bhagwan by The Raghu Dixit Project

The song is a part of Raghu Dixit`s debut album " The Raghu Dixit Project

The whole album is full of such songs..

The main line of the song says " Hey Bhagwan mujhko tu zindagi dobara de".. which literally translates to " God, Please give me this life once again". Contrary to the general belief that Moksha or Nirvana is the ultimate goal of life, this guy actually wants to live the human life again.. despite of all the sufferings and pains and all that bullshit. He says that the other small things in life like the small dreams we have, and the way we try to fulfill them is worth living for once again.

"Kaise Khoya Jaa raha hai apne aap mein insaan".. This line from the song says that the ordinary man is just winding and confusing himself with all the problems of his life and is amplifying them further. The song in a way suggests that the character says " I have realized my mistakes in life.. I have realized all things that made me think that life sucks.. But nope.. just give me one more chance to experience what it truly is..". Just superb according to me..

Raghu Dixit, who was a former Bharatnatyam dancer, has really created a different type of music. As many critics say, his songs reflect the true flavors of India.
Thats truly great Music for you
