Contagious

Sweet and sour, passes by hour and hour,
Walking and sprinting, so near so far.
Waiting for the dawn, trying to wry sun out of night's shadow,
Hoping that light will shine for a few moments,
Before clouds obscure it and night devours it.

Knocking on heaven's door

Some versions of my all time favorite song.


Bob Dylan (The Original Guy)



Guns 'n Roses (The first time I heard this song)


Eric Clapton


Avril Lavigne (Another nice version)


Red Russian Army Choir & Leningrad Cowboys (Worth seeing for the hair-styles)
Video (Sorry no embeddable version available)

Don't take your guns to the town, son

Somehow lot of Johnny Cash songs are very similar in content to Punjabi folk songs. Probably, Johnny Cash and Kuldip Manak were soul brothers.

Funny moments

Similarity between Gandhiji & Mallika?
Dono ne kapde tyag diye,
Ek ne desh ke liye,
Doosre ne Deshwasion ke liye!


Found somewhere on net.

Dippa Dosanjh - Tere Nakhre ney

One of the best songs of the last year, from "Raw as Folk" produced by Tru-Skool. Dippa is one of the best punjabi singer in my opinion, thought you rarely get to hear him. His new album is out though, few tunes sound catchy, though a bunch of them are recycled versions, even the title song "Dhola ve Dhola". Meanwhile enjoy this gem.
