kabhi alvida na kehna

Tumko bhi hai khabar - You also know

Mujhko bhi hai pata - I also know

Ho raha hai judaa, dono ka raasta - Our ways are getting separated

Door jaa ke bhi mujhse - Even going away from me

Tum meri yaadon mein rehna - You stay in my memories

Kabhi alvida na kehna (3) - Never say goodbye

Tumko bhi hai khabar - You also know

Mujhko bhi hai pata - I also know

Ho raha hai judaa, dono ka raasta - Our ways are getting separated

Door jaa ke bhi mujhse - Even going away from me

Tum meri yaadon mein rehna - You stay in my memories

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (3) - Never say goodbye

Jitni thi khushiyan, sab kho chuki hai - Whatever happiness there was its all gone

Bas ek gham hai ke jaata nahi - Just the sadness wont go away

Samjha ke dekha, behela ke dekha - I tried to make it understand

Dil hai chain isko aata nahi...aata nahi - This heart does not receive any peace

Aasoon hai ke hai angaarey, aag hai ab aankhon se behena - Are these tears or bolts of flame, fire now floats through these eyes

Kabhi alvida na kehna (3) - Never say goodbye

Rut aa rahi hai, rut jaa rahi hai - Seasons have come, seasons have gone

Dard ka mausam badla nahi - The weather of pain has not changed

Rang yeh gham ka, itna hai gehera - The color of sadness is so deep

Saadiyon bhi hoga halka nahi...halka nahi - Even after years it will not get less, will not get less

Kaun jaane kya hona hai - Who knows what will happen

Humko hai ab kya kya sehena - What more do I have to go through

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2) - Never say goodbye

Tumko bhi hai khabar - You also know

Mujhko bhi hai pata - I also know

Ho raha hai judaa, dono ka raasta - Our ways are getting separated

Door jaa ke bhi mujhse - Even going away from me

Tum meri yaadon mein rehna - You stay in my memories

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (5) - Never say goodbye

annie's song, (singer: john denver)

I love this song so much!!!

... I hope you enjoy it as much as me?!

I guess, it's about where we decide to 'lie down' in and after Life and endeavour to rebuild our 'faith' in this world?!

...Where (sometimes) we don't actually note the natural beauty that we were brought-up in and which surrounds us?!

Which (unfortunately!) can be instantly taken away from us  - like our dreams and hopes for the 'future' etc.

So, retrace some of your 'best times' in nature and you might find what actually really mattered to you?!

...It's a beautiful song and video  -  enjoy!!!


=======================


John Denver wrote "Annie's Song" in 1974, while on a ski lift on Bell Mountain in Aspen, Colorado.

He had just skied down a difficult run called "Elevator Shaft".

He was so exhilarated by the previous run that he was inspired to compose "Annie's Song" riding back up the lift.

And, he was soooooooo-excited about the song that he raced home and immediately set it to music.

He dedicated the song to his wife Anne.

John Denver was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the 1970s.

He was an avid pilot, and very-unfortunately died whilst flying his personal aircraft at the early-age of 53.
 

Notes, scales, chords

How do we select chords for a song or a tune???

As you know, scales are the basic form of music.

Songs / tunes are set in a particular scale.

Once you know the scale for a particular song or tune  -  next comes the question of which chords to play?

A very basic form of chords which play harmoniously in a particular scale  -  for example, chord C Major

1       2        3        4        5         6         7          8
C      D       E        F        G        A         B         c

C is the root key of this scale
1, 4, 5    =>     are all Major chords (C, F, G)
2, 3, 6    =>     are all minor chords (D, E, A)
7            =>     diminished chord (B)

So the chords for C Major scale are:

1       2        3        4        5         6         7          8
C      D       E        F        G        A         B         c
M     m       m       M       M        m        dim      M

M = Major chord; m = minor chord; dim = diminished chord

Go ahead and find out the chords for other scales!
Please do not try to find out ready-made chord progressions from the www.

This is not going to help you in learning fast!

A fast way of learning is the other way round  -  the hard way!!!

Once you formulate your own chords, then you don’t need to 'mug it up'.

They will then be stored in your subconscious-mind, and will therefore come out naturally, as you start playing.

Believe me  -  try this for one scale, and hopefully it will become apparent and hence you will understand.

Now that we know which chords to play for a particular note  -  but, is it necessary to always play the given chord for a particular note?

...No!

It may not be possible or required to play the original chord corresponding to a particular note  -  as playing too many chords, (at least in the beginning), for a particular tempo (speed) and tune may be difficult or may create breaks in continuity.

So, try some short cuts, as follows:-

1)  In the case of note A  -  the chord is A minor in the ‘C’ scale.

A minor = A,  C,  E

F Major = F,  A,  C

(two notes A and C are common).

So, for A note, F Major chord also sounds ok and even sometimes good depending on the tune.

2)  In the case of note B  -  the chord is B diminished in the 'C' scale.

B dim = B,  D,  F
G Major = G,  B,  D

(two notes B and D are common).

 
So, for B note, we can also use G Major chord as well  -  which sounds good!

My friends...God's given you the skills and love for music, and He will be soooooooooooooo-happy to see you playing sooooooooooooo-nicely!!!

...Because, that’s what God wants YOU to do with the beautiful skills that you've acquired!!!

So, be happy and make others happy my friends and fellow lovers of music!!!!!!
