स्वप्नं काही अपूर्ण


पाहतो तिला प्रथमच, आणि क्षणभर वाहून जातो
मग योगायोगाने काही भेटीत, त्या क्षणांचा सागर होऊन जातो
म्हणायचे असते त्याला काही, पण शब्द उरातच राहतात
स्वप्नं काही अशी, अपूर्णच राहतात

तिच्या विचारातच मग तो, कायम हरवला असतो
तिचे डोळे, आवाज, हास्य, ह्यात जणु स्वर्गच भासतो
अखेर ओळख तर होते, पण त्याची पाऊले दचकूनच राहतात
स्वप्नं काही अशी, अपूर्णच राहतात

क्षणभर ही तिला भेटण्यासाठी, बेभान होऊन प्रयत्न करतो
मनातले त्याच्या मात्र, अजूनही श्वासातच भरतो
त्याच्या शांततेतले शब्द, तिच्या नकळतच वाहून जातात
स्वप्नं काही अशी, अपूर्णच राहतात

एका प्रेमकथेसारखे, त्याला मधुर गाणे वाटते सर्वकाही
अस्तित्वात मात्र हे चंद्र-सूर्य आपल्यासाठी उगवत नाही
निघून जाते ती, त्याच्याकडे आठवणीच राहतात
स्वप्नं काही अशी, अपूर्णच राहतात

Live!

I have yet to go to a concert of any of my favorite bands. Its one of the things on my "To-do in the USA" list. But thanks to Youtube, I can at least enjoy concerts at home. The greatest musicians are those who are at their best when they perform live. So here are my favorite concerts:

1) Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
2) Backstreet Boys - A Night Out with the Backstreet Boys
3) Metallica - S&M
4) Dream Theater - Live at the Budokan

Not Like You

I don't care about the summer breaks
Don't know much about love
And I don't care about the look of my hair
'Cause I'm not like you

I've been flirting too much with the creeps
This is what I've been told
I took a walk on the wild side of life
'Cause I'm not like you

My TV set gives me tenderness
The cab driver guy is my friend
I look around me and all I can see
Is that I'm not like you

I'm not who you are
And no matter how much
I believe that ain't true
I'm not like you

And all the people that lived on my street
They remind me of who I've become
I can put on a show but I can't win them back
Gotta find a way on my own
But it won't be like home

And sometimes I'm cryin', maybe this is happening too fast
But someone told me "boy you shouldn't worry about the past"
But who would give a damn about the cameras til they're gone
Until then, it's on

Don't tell me it's hard to believe
There's something out there
'Cause no matter how much
I believe that ain't true
I'm not like you
