The Dichotomy of Fame in Rockstar gives you Pain but Leaves you Hopeful
In the movie, the tune offers the function of voicing out Jordan's heart and mind, but for a general listener who listens to it by detaching the movie from it, observes a total deliberate placement of instruments. It begins with pain, a truck load of pain, sounded by the shehnai. Then enter the beats which bring a fresh whiff of air, a ray of hope or a divine intervention that caused it.
It feels like a revolution, a conflict in the mind, a song of despair, it makes you feel pain but doesn't leave you hopeless..
It begins as a song of "बिरहा" as called in hindi, or song of "ਵਿਛੋੜਾ" as called in Punjabi, but by the time
it ends, it leaves you hopeful for the life ahead.
Listening to it reminds you of Jordan, ofcourse (from the movie), but it also reminds you of the romantic folk hero 'Ranjha.'
Not just 2 lovers who've parted ways, the
tune evokes imagery of a bride leaving her father and mother, or a youngster
who comes back home after ages. The beats don't dominate, and it definitely changes some neural patterns of the mind. So the science of sound healing is justified here.
