Yesterday, when on the spur of a moment I wanted to sing. I tried and horribly messed it up, a song which I never went wrong with coz it was a song which I used to sing as a lullaby for someone. It dawned on me that it had been really long since I had sung for someone and that I have almost lost my voice (not my speech but the spontaneity and melody). Its not that I don't sing or hum but just that I have lost the urge/desire to sing for anyone, anymore.
I recall the times when I used to be woken up in the middle of night by my cellphone only to be told from the other end, in a groggy and tired voice, "heyy, I am not getting sleep, please sing for me.." I used to simply smile instead of getting annoyed but there were a couple of times when I had faked anger just to make him feel guilty though it was always a pleasure and I was more than eager to lull him to sleep whenever he asked me to go on and on till his mumblings turned into a gentle snore. I don't have a great voice (though some find it sweet) nor do I sing like a nightingale but the fact that he found my voice soothing and comforting was rewarding in itself. I don't know if he misses my voice or those grownup lullaby's but I do miss singing for someone.
Here's the song which I tried to sing last night, "Lag ja gale se" from the movie "Woh Kaun Thi (1964)" :

Bikram's
i dont know if is shud say how cute it was when u sang for him...or how it sucks that u dont anymore
Well alcohol is usually said to be a wonderful solution to this behaviour (please don't be underage :/)
But jokes apart, Is it because of the absence of someone in particular or just someone who you wish to sing to? Cause both have slightly different solutions...
awww such a sweet story... may you find your voice and sing lullabys again :)
a situation identical to mine,if there ever was :)
This is such a wonderful song! One of my all-time favorites. Singing can be quite a pleasure and blissful if one can keep at it.
The song is soothing.You are evidently missing the singing for someone who is no longer asking.Very nicelywritten

@ Susan Deborah,
Thanks! Hope the summer isn't far :)
@ magiceye,
Thanks!
Someone surely is waiting to hear it ,I mean that someone..perhaps missing it too..for our benefit, it should have in your voice and not the original here
@ Alka Gurha,
Give it a try. It ain't that difficult.
@ Sanket Kambli,
Thanks! Magic...magic...lets see, no idea if it'll still work :P
@ Womaninlove,
Welcome, to the club.
@ Shama,
Thanks, you are welcome, dear. Hugs :)
Sweet !! and nice song!! :)
Vivek of necker cubicle.
Sh@s,
I could feel the hidden pain. Try to sing for your own self to keep song alive.
Take care
@ Me,
aaww...hugs :)
@ Sandeep,
Yes. First love is first love and nothing can match that feeling or experience. Love can happen twice provided we are ready to give ourselves a second chance :)
@ Bikramjit,
Thanks! Happy to know that its your favourite, too. Well, am not that good a singer so I guess a video may never come up. Singing for someone is something very personal and I'd like it to be exclusively for him.
....maybe, somewhere softly resonates a Bengali string....
So, a few lines from Tagore---
"নিদ্রাহারা রাতের এ গান বাঁধব আমি কেমন সুরে ।
কোন্ রজনীগন্ধা হতে আনব সে তান কন্ঠে পূরে ॥
সুরের কাঙাল আমার ব্যথা ছায়ার কাঙাল রৌদ্র যথা
সাঁঝ-সকালে বনের পথে উদাস হয়ে বেড়ায় ঘুরে ॥"
(Which tune should I pour into composing the song of this sleepless night?
Which tuberose shall I draw the sweetness of music from and carry it in my voice?
My woes that piteously pine for melodies
Like a wistful sunshine begging refuge in comforting lap of shadow
Stoically roam in the twilight through forest lanes)
{tried my level best to get near to the poet's expressions....}
Take care, my child.
Dont worry the melody arrives from heart.. and not just the vocal cords!
Some feelings in some lost corner just received some sunlight and they grew once again, giving me thoughts to savour for somedays to come ... keep walking!!!
cute!
@ Mayz,
Hmm...well, its only him, who can answer the first part of your question :)
@ Rohan92,

The answer to your question is in the post :)
@ Dee,
Thanks! Hope so :)
