Heart still bleeds thinking about Junaid Jamshed...
I just think the work he did for Vital signs is a bit cliched and underrated when people just talk about the usual chart busters from Vital signs...
There are some absolute belters in the album that never made note or were appreciate by the public.
I am also sad an entire generation 'underappreciates' the music of JJ, or realized how big he was as a celebrity.
His songs had deeper meaning to them than people realize, there is some deep insight in his singing that you then see in his naats too.
This was a man who was searching his soul for what he wants in life, then he found it in religion.
Then I think to myself I am being selfish for what I believe JJ should've been, he was the biggest he ever was in his career as a Ramzan transmission host/Islamic celebrity/businessmen/Preacher of religion.
In growing fascination I listened to most of Junaid's naats, in that basically he found was he was looking for in religion. The peace of mind that we all need and want.
I have always read somewhere Junaid is an extremely emotional person and a few of his earlier heartbreaks got him into a very depressive state. Which you can see in his songs, he has sung some very good songs about heartbreak.
Vital signs - musafir
'meray dil tu hai musafir, zindagi ek safar hai, kia jaanu teri manzil hai kahan'
Then there is this naat by Junaid also called 'musafir' -
'duniya kay ay musafir, manzil teri kabar hai, manzil teri kabar hai'
I have done alot of research on Junaid Jamshed and everything associated with him this past year and still miss him dearly despite him being gone for a year. His absence made me ask alot of questions of myself, and how things can change so drastically in someone's life. An enigma I still feel I need to understand more.
