YOU GUYS. Forget Eye to Eye, this is the anthem the world was waiting for. Mankind's favourite angel, Taher Shah made a stunning comeback last night and his latest single is everything you could hope for, and more. Starring Shah as the Master Angel, in a flowing purple gown - which for the record is fabulous - the song's lyrics and picturisation is leap years before its time.
In fact it is so good, that it pretty much answers all existentialist queries you might have had. Before you think this is sarcasm, it is not.
This is coming from a die-hard Taher Shah fan, because what are you if you're not one, anyway? Everything about the video, screams peak Taher Shah and yes, we're more than okay with that.
But first, here's Eye to Eye just to refresh your memory.
While Eye to Eye was everything a pop song should be, Shah's latest still manages to upstage its fabulous-ness. Here is a man who could not give even half a paisa about your tiny judgmental mind. He is wearing a gown, a crown, glittery wings and is not afraid of comparing himself to a mermaid.
Unlike the rest of you perpetually unhappy lot, Shah's gone and found his soulmate while you were (still) twiddling your thumbs. The blonde lady and his son - in gowns and with wings (cue the D'aaws), make an appearance towards the end of the video.
But here's what you really really need to focus on: the lyrics. Get an earful, folks. Enough said.
Check it out:
Angel .. mankind.. angel.. mankind
I am like an angel
mankind’s angel
my heart is like a rose
mankind soul
did his creation
by god
heaven on earth
mankind’s angel
lonely for you
like an angel
your love is mine
true angel
without you
I always live alone
as the heart beats
without a soul
I fall in love
with you always
like angels
love other angels
angel angels
mankind’s angels
la la la la
la la la la
I and you
are both like angels
within a human
is an angel
love is..(something something)... angel
you are my lovely sweet angel
without you
my love stays alone
like a mermaid
lives alone
when I found you
I was so glad
as I came
lovely heaven
angel angel
mankind’s angel
la la la la
la la la la
we can all be angels
a human like an angel
shines as a star
the angel’s character speaks like a flower
the stars are decorated by angels
like the dew feels petals of a flower
all angels remain quiet
like those flower that persist silent
but spread their essence but always desire jovial
you are beautiful
as the universe
charming angel
you are beautiful
oh angel
you are so special
as you are my lovely reflection
son you are
my honor my angel
you are my faith my soul
my angel
your life is like
a pretty flower
live is so graceful
like an angel
angel angel
mankind’s angel
