- Coke Studio Season 9| Episode 6
Music Directed by Shani Arshad
Composed by Shani Arshad
Kalaam by Baba Bulleh Shah
Produced by Strings
In this rendition of a kalaam by Bulleh Shah, ‘Meri Meri’ instantly becomes a track that is more than just moody atmospheric sounds of a Sufi melody featuring the irresistible voices of Rizwan Butt with Sara Haider. Introduced by a steady guitar that pulls you in, Rizwan’s vocals demand attention and translate the emotion quite firmly. The pulse of the track throbs and maneuvers through country western and Sufi style, embedded with an interval that explores the celtic music arrangement. Amidst the incredible blues guitar playing, Sara’s voice perfectly fits the template of the sound adding a distinctly surreal edge to a track carrying abundance of energy and personality. #CokeStudio9
The instrumental music played at 4:22 is so magical. So proud of Pakistanis and their talent!
At 4:23...You are in Ireland... Bulley Shah in Celtic rhythms....Genius...
" Come, Bulleh Shah, let's go to a place where everyone is sightless
Where no one asks us about our lineage, and no one reveres us..."
Superb verses, born out of Baba Bulleh Shah's shining wisdom...
Ooh, why so much hate for Sufi Rock, folks?
And that Celtic flute at 04:25 was blissful. As a whole, fantastic composition!
coz they only relate to the "Tangled" movie soundtrack when it comes to Celtic flute and think its a rip off from that movie. They never listened to The Corrs :P
ikr
Realist Gunner and there's considerable hate for rock fusion too. Can't wrap my head around that. I'm a fan of Lunasa myself.
Its just a bunch of negative minded people trying to hide their own insecurities. Unfortunately, quite a large bunch. In Urdu, we call them "kuwein ke mendaq"
Faizan Jamal
true reality of life..
best singing....by Pakistani singer.
love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
soo bueatyful voice..
i am your big fan sir.
coke studio
love you from india
Bulleh shah was not only a good writer of very good Punjabi Sufi lyrics but also was a great philosopher about social and personal life and its implications and the insight he had about this temporary life. His greatness is forever as his philosophical lyrics are still sung by great singers and appreciated by all to this day in Pakistan and India as well.
A blend of modern pop, sufi lyrics and a dash of Irish folk music. Only in Pakistan
😮
What a nice salad full of melodic and carefully crafted arrangements...
Buleeh Sha´s poems and pakistan sounds full of western rock spices ...( David Guilmour/Carlos Santana guitar references) latin american percussion( Cajón), english keyboards, swiss mikes, tchecoslovakian violinos...celtic flutes.
Music knows no barriers, only man´s dualistic mind.
Some may claim this season 9 is too much ecletic and lost the point...other may applause for the new pointed directions.
Fusion?
finally I found you sir on CS Comments platform ..... appreciate your words for this work of CS . God blessed you .... :)

Hats off to whoever translated this song!!! (Turn on captions)!! Literally I am crying for an hour 😭😭😍😭
This performance is a proof that No one can beat Coke studio Pakistan... Hats off to all crew... Lots of love and support
This show attract music lover's😍 that's why I loved it 💓
Instrumental break @4:22 is absolutely enthralling! Much love from these United States!
I am listening that part again and again for more than 10 times.. never failing to amaze me..
I am shiping upto Boston , thats the original song
That's the Toss The Feather's by The Corrs
It's the scottish flute, but I could be wrong.
@@rfbelieve7669 This part was copied from Toss The Feather's by The Corrs
The flute part is just mindblowing, I get goosebumps everytime I listen to it
Feeling proud to be Punjabi after listing this melodic writing by Baba Bullay Shah.
Its superbly sung and equally good composed.
Hats off
4:23 to 5:30 i just love the section.
HOw tremendously they played Violin. HATS OFF
At 3:46 it gives me goosebumps in all seasons of coke studio these two person killed it i have heard it more then 100 times still looking for more
Sarah was sure good as a backing vocalist in previous seasons but i have to say she stands out as a singer as well. she is impeccable :)
How many of u remember sara haider from last season's hit ''aea dil'' with ali zafar??
Amazing.... Sitting here in the UK.... the bit on the Flute (4:25) makes me want to River Dance.... Superb Singers, Superb Musicians...
Goosebumps, the mssg it delivers sets perfectly perfectly with the model of Gurbaani. Loved it, sometimes i just wanna be in Pakistan.....idk, feels like....it's very beautiful
I was expecting much more from Rizwan Butt after listening to his song in Nescafe Basement. This guy is a powerhouse I am not a producer or director but still guess that this guy can do much more than this.
agreed
Yes he did excellent but he is popular due to his classical stuff and alaap. Which is lacking in this song.
+ Karim Javed Absolutely, dude... He promised sky-high with his performances in Nescafe Basement (especially Season 2, with Akhiyaan Udeek Diyaan and Tere Ishq Mein). And considering how eagerly I was looking forward to his performance, this has been a rather big disappointment! :(
This reflects more on the music directors (Shani Arshad and Strings) than Rizwan Butt. They failed to utilize Rizwan Butt as well as Xulfi did.
Meri Meri is a collection of three brilliant monolith parts - Rizwan Butt's Sufi portion, Sara Haider's western rendition of the same and the Celtic musical portion clearly 'inspired' from 'Toss the Feathers' by The Corrs! However it's the fusion that doesn't work for me! Perhaps it was quite ambitious and a stretch to fuse these distinctively different genres.
The arrangement is quite catchy and it grows on you progressively as the composition proceeds with Rizwan's part. Starting with just the humble acoustic guitar, the maracas and backing vocalists come in at 00:14, cajon at 00:40, the bass-line 00:57, the drums in full flow at 01:12, banjo at 01:15, keys at 01:18 and finally strings at 01:37. And before you know it a beautiful musical air fills you around Rizwan's vocals. And wait that's not it! There is a beautiful lead guitar solo at 01:56 not to be missed sort of acting as a glue to Sara Haider's western part to follow! Overall Rizwan Butt comes off as a contemporary singer missing the subtle classical elements which I would have loved to see! (One can't help but compare this with Ahmed Jahanzeb from Khaki Banda who too sang one portion of this poetry so soulfully in that composition!)
Sara brought to the table what she is best in - a western singing style in a blues genre musical arrangement. The arrangement too mellows down from all the grandeur that was built over the last 2 minutes to make way for Sara's enchanting vocals. With an incredibly wonderful debut show in 'Ae Dil' I only hoped that Sara had a better composition to showcase her talent! The composition climaxes with a celtic musical piece on flute by Sajid Ali which was more than just 'inspired' as I mentioned earlier. But as a consolation, it was brilliantly done with the strings section, keys and backing vocalists accompanying.
Overall a collection of individual brilliance that didn't add up together for me like it usually does on this platform. But then it's a very personal thing. Won't be surprised if I meet people for whom this song would have clicked just perfectly! So do give it a try and share what you think! :)
The flute piece instantly reminded me of The Corrs! Anyway I liked the whole thing.
+Zihad Tarafdar yes, it's quite catchy after listening to it a few times! :-)
It has grown a lot on me actually. The change in speed and mood is a little abrupt at times, but it works quite well for the most part I think. It was definitely a risky and ambitious combination, but I'm glad to see Coke Studios trying out new and unique things. They might just strike gold soon!
abda husan
PrabhuKeDarshan Bhai bura mat maan'na, aap kuch kuch nafsiyaati lagtay ho.

Loved seeing Rubeus Hagrid as lead singer .
I am from India I love Pakistani music..they r the best
wow ..such a homogeneous mixture of melody ..life ..love it absolutely
What an energy and power in this song!!!!!!! Salute from Bangladesh..
4:23 for a moment I thought I am listening to a score of The Corrs. Kudos to the violinist.
Very well sung with gret background singers as well. And Bulleh Shah's best philosophical thinking in lyrics.
Looks like all the worlds music critics have descended on this page. Just enjoy the music folks. If you can.
haha true sub k sub ustaad bnay han yahan
hahaha FINALLY! Everyone over here is acting like they have so much knowledge about music!!!
M. Sajid 😂😂😂😂
amol jadhav Amol spot on
Most of become judgemental
Instead of sitting back and enjoying 👍
You have to listen it several times to let it grow on you, and once that is done...this is just one epic rendition of Bulleh Shah mystic and mesmerizing poetry. Yes high pitch song need high volume as well to get all the nuances...how ironic i didn't liked the song initially and written against it, but now it is my favorite.
thanx a lot coke studio for creating such a soulful and melodious song...
Celtic meets Mystic/Sufi
Flute meets Keyboard
Guitar meets Tabla
the husky, heavy voice of Rizwan Butt and the ensuing Sufi dedication meets supple and soothing voice of Sarah Haider. The result is a power packed rendition.
What a wonderful song!!!! Wonderfully arranged, and wonderfully sung by Sara Haider and Rizwan Butt!!!! Bravo!!!!!
sara haider's voice😍
Bollywood can use these beautiful singers much more!!
Awesome performances by each singer in all episodes.
Big Fan of #CokeStudio.
They should atay away from bollywood
Mysticism of Celtic music blended with the divinity of a Sufism...perfecto
The instrumental patch from 4:22....Amazingggg!!!
Ой как я рад встрече и знакомству! Музыка и исполнение просто браво!
char dinaa da mela, duniya pher mitti di dheri ( a momentary circus of mortals, this world, will turn into dust in 4 days)..

yes indeed! why does he wear sunglasses indoor?
yes indeed! why does he wear sunglasses indoor?
thug life i guess lol !!
RB rendered his lines true to his forte .the flutist's mettle showed in his performance.well done .
I think this song is amazing! Don't know what everyone is complaining about. If you don't like it or find it annoying or don't like punjabi, then simply don't fucking listen to it, simple as that! The reality is that naturally, us desi's will always have something negative to say.
you know nothing Jon Snow
True that but still you know nothing Jon Snow!
King in the North :)
you know nothing Jon snow
Man like Jon snow, always knew you were Punjabi
Maffiii Sara heider.. She got telent.. So much potential. .
That flute took my soul
I Love Sara Haider & Flute Player Very Much As A Big Enthom Fane...
Once More Master Piece By CS Rizwan made my day Bulleh Shah ka kalam or kiya chaiye #CokeStudio9
you need to redefine "Master Piece"
yeah clearly u hv no sense of music
urdu speakers will hate it just ignore them , i loved this song indeed and majority of punjabis also did
faheem awan brother mai bhi urdu speaker hun is me muhajir ki kiya baat agai hum kb niklay gy in chezoo sy
faisal hussain i never mentioned muhajir my friend.. urdu speakers mostly dont understand punjabi so they would hate it
Am loving this master piece in 2021
Brilliant performance by the entire team
One of my favourite CS songs!!! I just love it and feel sad at the same time thinking why is this so underrated 🥺 Rizwan butt is fire 🔥🔥
Loving the vocals, such a great talent......
Love the fusion of Irish music and the claps
Love the Violin play on background
Love the Blue mixing with major contemporary
An individual who understand the true music, will only understand this.... Not the #RohailHayatPlatoon. All those freaks and so-called music reviewers need to start their own collaboration of slow music with two instrument playing similar music every season
atlast someone said it! thank you.
and the scottish music :D
Syed Saad
from 4:30 to 4:40 tune copied from Titanic
muyi bien
1:54 he was waiting for his part fire dude ❤🔥🥳
that Scottish instrumental is amazing
It is a rip off of a song called " Im shipping up to boston"
that happens alot in the music industry and it's not a bad thing
yrrrr coke studio ka ab ye level hogia h jis ka dill kry music composer bnjata h...
i miss rohail hayat..
I think coke studio deserves Oscars...
Like if you agree...
around 4:41 I loved touch of Irish music as I love Irish music. Over all it is a good mixture of different musics and it will keep you listening even if you want to stop it, it will keep you not to turn it off and finish it before you even know it.
that Irish part is a rip off of a song called " Im shipping up to boston"
sufyan mirza perhaps, but most of the Irish Music sounds the same as they use kinda same notes and instruments.
kya baat hai..
@4:25 min to @5:30 min,,,thanks to u guys...i meet "The corrs" Toss the FEATHERS !! ;)
Emmm... well tried!! thumbs will be always up for Coke Studio... keep it up
I love you Pakistan
From Bangladesh 😍
Sara ali haider ♥💚
Sara haider is best! Namaste from Nepal
Music Good , Lyrics Awsome , Using different composition , Very energetic , My Opinion this is the best Atleast they tried something Different which is good , Try to listen it over and over i'm sure you'll love it and last few minutes they were awesome , Really love it Good Job Coke Studio . People mostly critisize it i think they beat the West in last minutes .
The only thing better than people playing good music is people visibly enjoying themselves while playing good music :)
Rizwan Butt..☺
4:23 Heaven ❤️
I can feel that Celtic music. i.e "The Gael"
Another one timer. Most of the songs of this season do not have relistenability unlike Paar Chanaa de which was exceptional.
