Intoxication & music

Is there a song/tune that can intoxicate you? Makes you forget whats happening around you? If there is such a song or tune, which one is it?

:slight_smile:

Almost anything by Nusrat Fateh Ali khan's earlier works.. dont like that new stupid music stuff..

and some song from Adnan sami Khan..

:)

yeah....

jeena hai
jeena to hai
iz zindagi mein
jo bhi ho mery jaan

jaanaa hai...

and i dunno how it goes from there on.
from the soundtrack of this Pak flick 'Guns n Roses'. Cool song.

One album which is very intoxicating on the music alone is Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon"..

some of Abida Parveen's stuff is pretty intoxicating also...also, some qawalis by the Sabri brothers

:)

Seal
Led Zepp Houses of the Holy
Taal
Genesis: Lamb Lies down on Broadway
Gabriel: "in your eyes"
Pearl Jam: Black
SOundtrack from Karz

many more

^taal? ILK!!! nothing intoxicating about that.. totally commercial

NFAK's sufi stuff (mein to piya se naina mila aaee re)
Tere ishq nachaya kar ke thaiya thaiya

Basically all the classical stuff :)

Oh and the music from Dil se (the lyrics, the music, the vocals)

Once in my university they were having some fundraising dinner for our South Asian studies department, and they had some music going on. I passed by and i couldn't move my feet, the music was sooooo beautiful. The music was being carried out by a tabla nawaz accompanied by another person playing the keyboard. It was sooo mesmerizing. I wish i had gone and asked what piece they were playing, it was truly beautiful.

Tabla music is awesome :k: Very hypnotic.

There was some NFAK stuff in the film Natural Born Killers. A lot of the old stuff by Pakistani artists was probably meant to be heard while out of your head. I saw a video of some private show once and I'm pretty sure they were all stoned to their eyeballs.

Led Zeppelin stuff is pretty spaced out, and the song from Pulp fiction when Travolta's driving the car having shot himself up with heroin - that one hit the mark.

Indeed, especially “Dazed and Confused”. :k: I love that one.

Any music can be intoxicating , depends on the person and mood.

Ingrazi music does not have this effect on me at all.

Tabala, harmonium & sitar just have incredible effects.

My husband plays tabla as a hobby & my father in law can do harmonium. When they play together its fun (I would not call that intoxicating though :D )
I have not listened to the filmi musics you all mentioned but will try to find it.
All my collection is ghazals & qawalis mostly.
