Times are changing fast...

A couple of years back, I was watching a promo of a new movie with my dad and brother. The music in the promo being youth oriented, my brother and I liked it instantly, but my father did not seem to like it. Dad then declared that the movie would surely be a flop, owing to it's not-so-good music. When I asked further, dad said that just as a man is known by the company he keeps, a movie is known by the soundtrack it has! He said that during his own time, he used to make out whether a movie would be hit of flop just by hearing the music in the promo. That was a time, and true....the movie which dad told would be a flop... flopped big time!
But now, I noticed that the times have changed rapidly. No more can a movie be judged by it's music. The recent years saw a rise in the music culture, with composers giving hits after hits. Songs of all genres are found almost in every album, since composers keep on experimenting. But the number of good movies and the number of good music albums have had no connection in the previous years. To point out a few, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, had a wonderful title track and few more good numbers, but the movie failed miserably. Some more movies which were box-office duds but still had wonderful sound-tracks are Ta Ra Rum Pum, Salaam-E-Ishq, Delhi 6, Yuvvraaj to name a few. Really...times are changing fast!

The Beginning And The End

These are the most beautiful and meaningful lyrics ever written. If you observe closely, they contain universal truths..and it can be said the everything in the world start from and end here.

Lyrics by : Savage Garden(Australian Pop-Rock Band)

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your own happiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
