Hello people i am Jaby Koay,
Joining me is Achara Kirk and Chuck Koay
We're gonna look at a music video:
Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera
Full song from Swades
A Shah Rukh Khan movie
I saw this trailer and it actually looks pretty cool
its basically about Shah Rukh Khan
who becomes a NASA scientist
and i think eventually finds his way back to India
where he realises that he belongs more at home,
something like that
there is a song that belongs to this film
that people wanted us to react to
this is the second-most popular vote
first and foremost before we get into it
i wanna say thank you to T-Series
for allowing us to do these reactions,
you guys didn't have to but you graciously allowed us to
and i just wanna express my extreme gratitude
for you guys allowing us to do a music video reaction to this song
Thanks T-series!
Thank You!
So here we go
Ye Jo Des Hai Tera
Its got ballad!
We have no subtitles by the way!
Indian music is so good!
This country of yours, your motherland calls out to you..
this is a bond which can never be broken
how can you ever forget the scent of the earth (of your homeland)
wherever you go, you will come back.
in new paths (that you take), in quiet sighs
to your lost heart, someone will say
This country of yours, your motherland calls out to you..
this is a bond which can never be broken
Your life is saying to you,
you have achieved everything,
what's there that is still missing then?
as such, all comforts are there for you,
but you're far from your home
come, let's go back, O crazy one
where at least someone will call you their own
that country of yours calls you..
This country of yours, your motherland calls out to you..
this is a bond which can never be broken
It's this very moment,
in which there is hidden,
a complete century,
an entire lifetime.
Don't you ask why there is a two-way fork on the road..
you are the one who should suggest the path
you are the one who would tell
in which direction to take, that country..
This country of yours, your motherland calls out to you..
this is a bond which can never be broken
I thoroughly enjoyed that
I did it had that 80s video feel and it was like so sentimental
It felt like it was like actual VHS tape playing
and it was like parts of his life like he watched that video on tape
he is going to all his memories, that was dope!!
Even before reading the lyrics
I definetly understood what the video was about
it seemed very much a love song to INDIA
and a guy in a different country
whose missing his home
and reminiscing about all the good things that he misses about home
Even though like i am not a one to (except for recently),
i am not a one to be like to have any specific home that i miss,
i missed home while I was in the UK, I am not gonna lie.
Being someone whose of mixed descent
its hard to feel like you belong to any specific thing
its feels like you are kind of no-man constantly
I can still understand and empathise with the idea of coming from a very specific place
and missing that specific place where you grew up or those are your people
that’s where you come from that’s basically made you who you are I can completely empathise
and understand that
and so I can respect the music video in that regard
I mean having the lyrics right here side by side with the video itself
its like I totally get it and can appreciate it and the craft behind it
I have only seen one SRK movie so far but within this video I was able to appreciate just the subtlety of SRK
because he wasn’t over playing any of the scenes
but you could see just in the simplicity of the scenework
what was calling to him and what he was missing a struggle he was having
and the only way I can really relate to it is in just missing someone like missing family or missing a person
If I don’t see Chuck for a long time , I miss Chuck
and its like that kind of thing like I get the sentimental aspect of it
and so far as like I miss my friends because they are my country my family for me they are what hold me together essentially
I actually really liked the song just the song itself
I have always really enjoyed the kind of I guess it would be like indian ballads
those slower tempo I feel like the music’s very evocative it definetly makes you feel things
and I feel like just indian music in general its really different from western music but it sounds so good
I may think of something different about the scales and the different tones that are used in the songs but I enjoy it so much
Its getting technical I am lost !
What I liked about it is, I wont say its so different , like gospel ballad like something was calling me like it was like come home, come home
All the imagery of like India you know just
wheres he living his advanced hardcore complex life working with NASA
and just your job its just a freaking job
and everything he loved was at home and it was more simple and it was like calling you.
So I had that feeling
We get caught up in these desires for mega achievements
and we kind of forget where we came from
and whats important?
Anyways, thanks to you guys for hanging out with us
