The song that i love at the moment..

Tanhai - Dil Chahta Hai

The scene :

Aamir Khan plays Aakash, who doesn't believe in love. He thens meet a bubbly Preity Zinta who is the total opposite. He tries to convince her love is unnecessary and she does the opposite with him. One day, she took him to see an opera about two lovers separated because the hero has to go off to war. He died and was sent to heaven. He asked from god to let him come back for one day so that he can tell the heroin that he loves her with all his heart, even if this means he has to die 1000 deaths. Preity's character later tells Aakash to close his eyes and think of that one person that he would die 1000 deaths for. To his surprise, the woman he sees is Preity Zinta. Unfortunately, Preity's character is bethrothed. Aakash is heart broken..hence the song..

How does this applies to me :

Well, nothing radical like that lol. But i lost the love of my life, not by death but by ego and sellfishness... I love how this songs captures the essence of a broken heart...

Loneliness, loneliness
How I stumbled on the path of the heart
All my dreams broken, ash, despondency
All my happiness gone to sleep; my life, lost
In the love I had for you I found only a punishment...

Loneliness, loneliess, a vast expanse of loneliness

In a dream I had seen a sari hem in my hands
Now the shards of broken dreams pierce these eyes of mine
In a dream I had seen a sari hem in my hands
Now the shards of broken dreams pierce these eyes of mine
Yesterday someone was right here; now there is no one at all
It's as though, having become a snake, it twisted around my breath...

loneliness, loneliness
How many tears has it brought to my lashes
Loneliness, loneliness,
how many tears it has brought to my lashes

Why, when I hoped so hard, was that hope useless?
My goal had been set in the distance; then dusk fell on my path
Why, when I hoped so hard, was that hope so useless?
My goal had been set in the distance, and then dusk fell on my path
Why, when I hoped so hard, was that hope useless?

My goal had been set in the distance, and then dusk fell on my path
Now where shall I go; to whom shall I explain
what I had wanted, and why fate brought me
loneliness, loneliness

like the depths of darkness
How I stumbled on the path of my heart
All my dreams broken, ash, despondency
All my happiness gone to sleep; my life lost
In the love I had for you I found only a punishment...

Loneliness, loneliess, a vast expanse of loneliness
Loneliness...
