Kind of a quirk but ik tara = tumbi/tumba. Its an instrument instead of "star"

 

[JoeMann]

ok fair enough? why would it be a sad song about a instrument? this is a remake for an old school classic that relates to a star not a instrument even in the introduction that i cut off it says "playing the acoustic version to one star" i think the producer himself knows what hes making a remake of this is ONE star not no instrument.

 

[JoeMann]

you should seriously do some research before you try to correct people Gsingh, clearly u don't know as much knowledge as you think you do about music.

 

[GSingh]

I apologize if my post came across as offensive or pompous.

The fact of the matter is that in this instance, I'm 100% certain of what I'm talking about.

"ik tara vajda ve, ranjana, noor mahal di mori"

directly translates to "one string is playing, o ranjha, from the window of noor mahal (famous pakistani palace).

Heer is telling ranjha that she hears a beautiful tone from an "ik tara" (ik = 1, taar = wire or string, therefore a one stringed object, most likely a tumbi or a tumba, but traditionally, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ektara).

There is absolutely no mention of a "star" in the entire song.

Here are some other renditions of the song:
DO TARA [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - TARLI DIGITAL FT. BAKSHI BILLA
Manmohan Waris - Do Tara Vajjda Ve - Punjabi Virsa 2004
Ik Tara Wajda - Jasbir Jassi [ 720p - HD ]
Manmohan Waris and Bakshi Billa's track mentions a do-tara, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotara

the original by Yamla Jatt and Mohinderjeet kaur :

Do Tara Vajda Ve (Lal Chand Yamla Jatt & Mohinderjeet Sekhon) Old Punjabi Duet

It's pretty dirty if you think that way LOL.


But as far as the mix: ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. I'd been rocking out to Ramgharia's version ever since I found it but I think this is going to be an easy replacement for it. I love the eclectic-ness of the pad's and synths you added.

Keep em' comin

EDIT: just listened a second and third time. Holy shit man, major props. Not a single flaw from a listener's perspective.

This is sickkk man! I absolutely LOVE the original song and I'm so glad your mix didn't take away from the beautiful singing & words. Your mixing was very subtle, but those that have heard the original can definitely tell you've done things in the background. Compliments the song really well.

Keep up it up Joe - look forward to your future mixes.

i agree with gsingh iktara refers to the instrument. but you could easily interpret it as referring to a star based on the lyrics, i think this is one of those cases where either meaning works but the star reference just seems to fit better with the lyrics of a woman wishing to be with her lover.

love the original version, love the sonu ramgarhia version, your version sounds harsh as fuck on my $20 headphones, sooo much clipping on the vocals.

sorry to dissapoint you budd... your the only 1 who is having problems of hearin cracks and whatever else ur hearin, maybe u should invest in some good headphones or get good computer speakers such as The Logitech z5500's and then tell me if you still hear what your hearinng.

It's nice and subtle which is dope to have in a senti playlist or somthing lol but ima fan of when the song is sped up, i think it jus sounds better...Also ek tara does refer to the instrument lol cause u can't play a star
