It’s been more than one and half years since I published a post on a lyricist. So I was very keen about this one. Though general music lovers don’t care much for a lyricist, my opinion is that he/she forms an important and integral part of the process and should be given due credit.
Today’s post focuses on the career of a popular lyricist, Indeevar, on the occasion of his 24th death anniversary.
Born as Shyamlal Rai in 1924, he was inclined to poetry. He also had his share as a freedom fighter, and was imprisoned in the early 1940s. The reason was his poem on Indian independence. It was just the beginning of the spark of poetry. He soon migrated to Bombay (now Mumbai) in search of work. He began as a lyricist in 1946, and took the pseudonym, Indeevar. But the films couldn’t establish him. I’m sharing one of his earlier songs that may not have become popular that time. But it’s a good song. Let’s hear it.
Tere Nainon Mein Nindiya – Didi (1948) Lata Mangeshkar / Music – Mukund Masurekar
The song has already featured on the blog in the series covering Lata’s association with lesser known composers. The song has good lyrics and the tune is typically representative of the vintage era.
