Herzog

Just a couple of days back I came across a letter addressed to a German Director Herzog. The letter fueled an interest in his films and more so because his new film "Encounters at the end of the world" was on Alaska which seemed like the next best film to watch after ' Into the wild . The more I read and the more I discovered about this creative,passionate genius of a film maker, his documentaries/films on vast and varied subjects I wanted to watch his films. 'Grizzly Man' was my first introduction to his works . It's about Treadwell, who spent 13years in the wilderness as a self proclaimed protector of Grizzlies and had a tragic end at the very place and in the hands of the very animal he was protecting. The movie doesn't try to pass a judgment on whether Treadwell was right/wrong in his choice of heading to the wild and opting to protect the Grizzlies but it was made more as a reflection of what lead him there or why some people choose to take a di

Zorba and Music

Came across this version of the theme song from one of my favourite film 'Zorba the Greek' by a famous blind guitarist Jose Feliciano. Check his other videos in the related section of this video. He is just unbelievable !! The video took me back to old times when I was inducted into the world of musical instruments by an elderly gentlemen, who would come over to our house every week with his big ferocious Alsatian. I was six at that time and was more interested in being outdoor playing than having a tryst with a musical instrument and singling along. Nevertheless, I was inducted into the wonderful musical world rather reluctantly but thanks to the wonderfully talent blind teacher of mine and the fear of his big black friend, I did get a footing into Indian Classical music. We were transferred out of town after 3years and I never got back to learning Indian Classical music from another teacher but somehow this video reminded me of him. He must have been around 50 those days,

Panchi

Heard this song from Jal after awhile.. Love the simple lyrics and the music. Something probably the dreamer within us can associate with. It's about being like a bird and breaking free!! Most of the other songs from their album ADAAT are in the same league.. Panchi Panchi hoon….urney do! Urneyy do! Hawaaaon sey…larney doe! Rastey, galiyaan……chor aaya mein Bhooley waadey! Torr chala mein Yeh raat abhee dhal jaayay gee Yeh baat abhee badal jaayay gee Tanha hoon……..rehnay doe…rehnay doe! Aanso ho! Behnay doe…behnay doee! (Raaag) Panchi hoon…hmm…hmmm…hmm Hawaaon sey….larney doe!

Music ..Into the Wild

I have been hooked to the music from the film since i got hold of the CD.. The lyrics,music and the soulful emotional rendition of the songs by Eddie Vedder fits perfectly into the film. Hope to be able to play them on my guitar(still learning!!) very soon. Some of my favs... 'End of the Road' 'Guaranteed' 'Rise' 'Society' Find all the lyrics from the Film here Related Post
