Socha Hai - thinking without curbs

Back to Rock On! The movie and its songs carried the message of free thinking. The whole dichotomy that the musicians face while choosing an unconventional career as rock musicians is because thinking beyond the beaten track raises many eye brows. They believe in doing things which are not done by any Tom, Dick and Harry. This idea is captured in the very opening scene, where they choose a song, which asks questions, which border around the absurd. But they prove their point. Did anyone ever wonder why the sky is blue, why the earth is round, why water is damp.... and why we fight?

[D] [G]
aasma hai neela kyun, paani geela geela kyon?
[Bm] [A]
gol kyon hai, zameen?

[D] [G]
silk mein hai narmi kyon?, aag mein garmi kyon?
[Bm] [A]
do aur do paanch , kyun nahin?



[D] [G]
ped ho gaye kam kyon?, teen hai ye mausam kyon?

[Bm] [A]
chaand do kyon nahin?
[D] [G]
duniya mein hai jung kyon?, behta laal rang kyon?

[Bm] [A]
sarhadein hai kyon, har kahin?
[D] [G]
socha hai… ye tumne , kya kabhi?
[D] [G]
socha hai… ki hai ye , kya sabhi?
[D] [A] [D]

socha hai… socha , nahin toh socho abhi


[D] [C]

sannata sunai nahi deta
[D] [C]
aur hawayen dikhayi nahi deti
[D] [Em] [C] [D]

socha hai kya kabhi
[D] [Em] [D] [Em]

hota hai ye kyun............


[D] [G]
aasma hai neela kyun, paani geela geela kyon?
[Bm] [A]
gol kyon hai, zameen?


[D] [G]
silk mein hai narmi kyon?, aag mein garmi kyon?
[Bm] [A]
do aur do paanch , kyun nahin?
[D] [G]
socha hai… ye tumne , kya kabhi?
[D] [G]
socha hai… ki hai ye , kya sabhi?

[D] [A] [D]
socha hai… socha , nahin toh socho abhi

Enjoy the Song!

Tum Ho Toh - the emotional finale of Rock On!

Farhan Akhtar has always carried the young and trendy tag with directorial ventures like Dil Chahta hai and Lakshya behind him. Farhan, the actor, became an instant hit with Rock On! But to call Rock On a Farhan Akhtar film would be a misnomer. It was a tribute to the spirit of Rock music, of which Farhan himself is a dilettante. The tale of musicians of a rock band, who after a series of successes succumb to a clash of egos, only to come together years later and carry on with the legacy of MAGIC – the rock band, touched the right chords. Shanker-Ehsaan-Loy’s music became a runaway success. The final song Tum ho Toh was the icing on the cake, bringing out the latent emotions of friendship, love and loneliness. Here are the guitar chords of the song.


C C
Tum ho toh, gaata hai dil

Dm G
Tum nahin, toh geet kahan


C C
Tum ho toh, hai sab hasil

Dm G
Tum nahin, toh kya hai yahan


F Dm G Em
Tum ho toh hai, sapno ke jaisa hasin

F C
Ek samaa


G Dm
Jo tum ho toh, yeh lagtha hai

Em F
Ke mil gayi har khushi

G Dm
Jo tum na ho, yeh lagtha hai

Em F
Ke har khushi mein hai kami

G G
Tumko hai mangthi


C
Yeh zindagii….

Em F C
Huuuuu……
Dm F G C

Oh ho oh ho oh ho ho ho ohh…… (4)
