রোমান্টিক গানের প্রতি আমাদের ভালোবাসা চিরদিনের। উদাস দুপুর হোক, একাকী বিকেল হোক প্রিয়জনের সান্নিধ্যে মধুর সন্ধ্যাই হোক, হৃদয়কে দোলা দিতে রোমান্টিক গানের জুড়ি নেই। তেমনি কয়েকটি রোমান্টিক গান নিয়ে আজ লিখবো। ১। অস্ট্রেলিয়ান সফ্‌ট রক ব্যান্ড Air Supply এর ১৯৮০ সালের Lost in Love এলবাম এর টপ চার্টে থাকা একটি গান All Out Of Love।

ইউটিউব লিঙ্ক Artist: Air Supply Album: Lost in Love Year: 1980 Genre: Pop-ballad Lyrics: I'm lying alone with my head on the phone Thinking of you till it hurts I know you hurt too but what else can we do Tormented and torn apart I wish I could carry your smile and my heart For times when my life feels so low It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know Chorus: I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long I 'm all out of love, what am I without you I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong I want you to come back and carry me home Away from this long lonely nights I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too Does the feeling seem oh so right And what would you say if I called on you now And said that I can't hold on There's no easy way, it gets harder each day Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone Chorus Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of? Oh, what are you thinking of? What are you thinking of?

Eric Clapton এর ১৯৭৭ সালের Wonderful Tonight গানটি আমার খুবই পছন্দের। গানটি মূলত লেখা ১৯৭৬ সালের ৭ সেপ্টেম্বরে, Eric Clapton এর প্রাক্তন স্ত্রী, মডেল এবং ফটোগ্রাফার Pattie Boyd কে নিয়ে। ইউটিউব লিংক Lyrics: It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight." We go to a party and everyone turns to see This beautiful lady that's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight." I feel wonderful because I see The love light in your eyes. And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize how much I love you. It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head, So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed. And then I tell her, as I turn out the light, I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight." ৫। জাভেদ আখতারের লেখা এবং ওস্তাদ নুসরাত ফতেহ আলী খানের কণ্ঠের এই জোস গানটি আমার অতি পছন্দের। প্রিয়তমার সৌন্দর্য বন্দনা করতে গিয়ে এতো যে উপমা ব্যবহার করা যায় এই গানটি না দেখলে বোঝা যাবে না।
