The singer is saying, a Koyal used to visit his apartment nearby, and they had become friendly, one day the nightingale’s lover had come visiting. The male flock never chase a nightingale, it’s she who decides whom to be with. He says ” feminine” gender is most precious creation of God and among feminine gender, he finds koyal ( nightingale) most unique. The story he is narrating is of nightingale as one of most unique forms of feminine gender ( naari). Although he speaks in deliberate naviety its profoundness is wonderful. Thank you and isn’t he a wonderful singer and very very gifted artiste. He is a fine contemporary artiste in my opinion and his original material is so good. Kailash Kher songs reminds me of my school and school teacher. For me the feminine gender or girl child is the ideal creation of God. He captures that and writes in that gender. Why Kailash Kher ? Why not Javed Akhtar who is a great lyricist ? I like the ” devotional or divine” aspect of his writing and in eastern philosophy the ideal devotee or ideal of devotion is ” feminine voice”. Every time listen to a Kailash Kher song, remember my school teacher. It must be love of teaching and love of Subject. He had a Ph.D way back when and chose to teach in school. A brilliant teacher and a great story teller. The teacher spoke and taught us beautifully. It’s shame that have not read a single Hindi Book since then. The incomparable Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and the great Luciano Pavarotti.īefore that, love the way Kailash Kher writes songs.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Nina Simone, Freddie mercury come to my mind as such divinely gifted artistes who could fill an auditorium just with a voice. He is brilliant without instrumentation and great with instrumentation. I feel he belongs to that rare breed of gifted artistes where instrumentation try to match their voice and singing. I am a fan of his singing, composition, lyrics and live acts. Kailash kher is a contemporary Indian musician and also has a performing band “ Kailasa”.
