Faasle X Mann Mayal

I always felt too close to music. The melody, the lyrics, the voice... a perfect combination of all these ingredients is the recipe for creating a good song. Every now and then I am left in a state of surprise by the impact music leaves on me. Especially if it is a tale of tragedy. It is these few moments in life that I feel humanly with emotions. Tragedy as a genre itself hits quite hard and "Faasle" is one of my favourite songs amongst this kind. The Coke Studio's Season 10 song is voiced by supremely talented QB and Kaavish. It is a narrative of separation and pain, which I feel draws parallels to the story of the Pak Drama Mann Mayal. Amidst all the toxic and violent entertainment content, there are songs like Faasle, which handles separation poetically beautifully. In the world full of people unable to handle rejections and resorting to abuse of either self or the opposite person; both MM and Faasle redefine the true meaning of love.
