I'm a songwriter. So I'm OK. But when I wrote "Stand By Me" as a song and to know that the song will probably be here for hundred and hundreds of years to come, it's great, you know. And it was just simple lyrics.
I like 'Intaha ho gayi ithazar ki' from 'Sharaabi' and 'Chalte Chalte.' I like them because they are immortal.
Timeless, so age don't count in the booth When your flow stay submerged in the fountain of youth
I'll sing forever.
All I want to do, is write rock and roll that you could listen to as you got older, and it wouldn't lose anything; it would be timeless, in the subject matter and the literacy of the lyrics.
Music's staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.
It is my hope that during my brief passage through this universe, that I may share with you the joy of hearing the music of the stars... knowing that the composer was from a distant place and the songs were written eons ago, which now fall gently on this place for all to hear.
It would be so nice to write songs that end up being timeless.
