Listening For the First Time! Soch the Band ft. Hadiya Hashmi - Bol HU  

I don't understand a word of what she is singing. And it doesn't matter. This performances still makes my eyes water every single time. That voice... awesome.

Across every language, Hadiya struck at the heart of the listener :)

One of the few times I was triggered. About 2 minutes into the songs I without choice closed my eyes and I was in the Saudi Arabian desert hearing the call to prayer reverberate through my body. In the deep desert I met my Lord with every sunrise and sunset. I can feel even now and smell the deep. It will never leave me. Thank you. It may have been a conflict that brought me there bout I would not trade my experience for anything.

They're singing in Urdu indeed. Your reaction was really heartfelt. I appreciate that a lot. Love from Pakistan.

I myself am from Pakistan and I have listened to this song hundreds of times and whenever I think about the lyrics of this song I can't control myself. But the way you have given your expressions on this song and pausing the song in the middle to give your emotional commentary on it is amazing and leaves the listener completely mesmerized. Finally, the way you have translated the lyrics of this song is also very amazing and people who cannot understand the lyrics of this song can easily understand the spirit of this song. Once again congratulations to you for such a wonderful and long comment on this song. Love you from Pakistan. Thanks

that was great! i think you would be blown away by Chaap Tilak by Abida Parveen and Rahat Ali khan live at Coke studios! Next level singing. Cant help but be overwhelmed by the spirituality they exude thru their voices.

I feel you… That lil girl has the spirit of an oracle that really reaches your soul..

they have actually provided the lyrics actually with their meaning in the original video.

This little girl is hadia hashmi natural talent she is amazing

I discovered her, Hadiya, about 3 or 4 years ago and I had tears rolling down my face when saw this video. It was so Spiritual. Thank you for sharing this music video!!! Great reaction!!

ok you got me again with something I havent seen or heard this was so full of energy kind of like regional folk with a pop sound behind it using modern instuments and native instuments is a nice mix I like the sound and the positive vibe from it it is very nice to listen to that little girl was also amazing she can really sing for such a young age those chants were cool thank you for another great ride today to somewhere I have never been as always your ride or die forever EyyOOOO have a great day

💗Wow Rosalie - this was something else! I was not prepared for Hadiya Hashmi at all, what an amazing discovery and beautiful surprise! - And also your reaction was so pleasurable for me to follow and I can absolutely connect with your comment, I'm a fan of both Angelina and Diana and was pleasantly surprised you mentioned them in this context... and I was about to say that for me Hadiya evoked Aurora as well, not actually by her singing (maybe even by that in regard of "chanting", but Hadiya is more powerful at age 8...) but her aura, something etheric about both of them... - and then you mentioned Aurora, crazy how similar our brains reacted to this new experience, seems we have a similar background in some ways :) - I'm deeply impressed by this young prodigy's musicality, her timing, her pitch, her passion, how she immerses herself into the song, not at all distracted by cameras and a bunch of crazily talented other musicians doing their things, singing from deep within her soul, this was just beautiful and touched my heart, I understand why this had you on the brink of tears, it's like we got a wonderful present at a moment we didn't expect it and wonder how we are even worthy of that... I definitely think many other Angels would appreciate this as well and will try to initiate more reactions, the world needs to watch this, it's a gift from above... Thank you for a wonderful reaction, I will share your video as well! 💗 - I feel like I want to give you something beautiful in return, and I think I might be able to offer another surprising discovery very well suited for a world music channel - this is Isyana (pron. "Ishiana") Sarasvati, 29, from Indonesia. I found her only recently and am so happy to have encountered this woman who is nothing short of a complete artist and true musical genius. Isyana started as a classical concert pianist and won composition contests at an early age. Later she trained in opera singing (Jakarta and Royal School of Music, London). Not only does she master several instruments and is blessed with a wonderful voice, but also her songwriting and arrangements are mind blowing. She transcends genres and vocal styles and did it all from opera, pop, ballads, progressive rock to symphonic metal, sometimes within one song, and she does it effortlessly and gracefully... This woman is more than amazing, she's another gift to humanity for sure! 💗 For your first encounter with her I'd suggest to start with her "Lexicoustic" episodes (there are seven of them as this is a semi acoustic arrangement of the seven songs on her latest album "Lexicon" which was released two years ago, this new arrangement was recorded live one year ago and it is of heavenly beauty, gorgeous setting and recording, breathtaking musicianship of everyone involved...) Ep. 1 is the title song of the album... - Quite sure you'll enjoy this and can't wait to watch your reaction... Peace and love from Bavaria! 💗 LEXICOUSTIC Ep. 1 - LEXICON | Isyana Sarasvati & The Tuttis ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C-uLAbe0WXs.html 💗

I had to watch it twice when I first discovered it also. Rosalie, it makes me happy to know you are in the world; we so need your heart and generosity in this world!

I could watch people react to this song all day, andd it always hits like the first time. Masterpiece.

Hadiya is amazing, God gifted, natural talent. Excellent decision by Soch to give her the chance to perform with them. ❤ from Pakistan for the band and for Hadiya

I’m happy you’re discovering this great and amazing performance!

I have watched this about 15 times myself.

Thank you for broadening our lives with music that is diverse and new to us.

Greetings from Pakistan. Your high quality reaction has got yourself another subscriber. Brilliant reaction to a great song. The way you immersed yourself in the song reflects your passion towards music and sincerity. Nescafe Basement has English translation to the lyrics. If you have not yet reacted to Coke Studio of Pakistan then you must. It's 14 seasons have been released whereas the 15th season is expected in January 2023. You need to begin with season 14. My recommendations are "Tu Jhoom" and "Go" to start with. Pakistani songs have very strong and purposeful lyrics and both Coke Studio and Nescafe Basement songs have English subtitles, which you can easily take a look at as the song progresses.. In this manner you will enjoy the songs much more. I can only strongly recommend to yourself to start reacting to coke studio stuff. You will not be disappointed. Best wishes for your channel

Respect for that reaction, it was as genuine and as powerful as the song itself. Music has no borders or boundaries! I think you'll really appreciate Main Irada by Coke Studios very powerful anthem for women.

bests reactions i have ever seen on foreign music. loved it.

I saw many reviews fro this song. You are the only one so excited to keep it to run twice. I bet you listen it again few times. Is your style. Same as me ! For few years I listen it and I still keep doing it. I always discover something new in the song. A sound. A tome. A great voice twist. I watch on so many people reaction and see many details of the song. Is a masterpiece !

No one can beat Pakistani poetry and music we have legend singers in pakistan

I love the Jewish mystical interpretation of ‘Hu’, the primordial breath. ‘Hu’ connects you with the ground of existence itself. It is like finding the string that holds all the beads together. It is like clouds realising that they are the sky. It is like separate waves their oneness in the ocean of being. It is like the whole of existence breathing as one.

I am very happy that you decided to react to this epic performance. As usual, you are amazing when you let your soul express what it feels. The lyric is from the Sufi poets and the Sufi poets are known for being very spiritual and profound. Jalal Eddine Rumi for example is the Icon of the Sufi world. Now I think you have to try to "Afreen", which is another epic that had more than 380 million views. Thank you.

LOTS OF LOVE AND RESPECT FROM PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING ON THIS MASTER PEICE I HOPE YOU WILL GONA LOVE COKE STUDIO SEASON 14 FROM PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 BEST STUDIO IN PAKISTAN 🇵🇰

Awesome reaction!!! You made my day. Thank you!!!🌸🌸

Very beautiful voices, music & lyrics. Loved the way you revived this talismatic music

Great reaction. Glad you appreciate the depth if the poetry, & the composition the music vocals & that little angle! Blinding !

Loved listening to this song again. Was blown away also when I first heard it. Thanks for the reaction. The lyrics and especially when Hadia says "make yourself a little world" are just special.

She is singing in pure urdu this is not hindi this is my personal favorite song so nice to see another reaction like this.

heard this kalam thousands of time and each time gets goosebumps when she start singing

The subcontinent is so rich in classical music that the borders don’t matter, it’s hearting

One of the best reaction I have seen so far. Real person appreciated the lyrics and music incredible. Keep it up , what a nice personality you have .❤

Just a brilliant and awesome reaction I have seen for the video. Many Thanks and a minute ago I subscribed to your channel. You elaborated the lyrics very well. Many cried while watching this video & I saw you are among them. The Coke Studio music has subtitles by clicking the cc button. Love from Pakistan.

Simply, I enjoyed the way you enjoy this song. It is very well reacted both musically and emotionally. Thanks. 💐💐💐💐

I must have watched that performance 100+ times the last year or so. Never gets old. I only wish she had other performances at that same level.

Great reaction. Your understanding of music and lyrics is amazing.

I was mesmerised to see your connection with the song. That is true sufism it absorbs you in. Keep up the great work of bringing people closer through music. You are a doing a job of legendary saints. Stay blesses

I'm so happy to see your reaction and the way you appreciate them and the beautiful people in your comments taking out time to wrote detailed comments about how good the song is and hadiya hashmi even though they've never seen or heard anything from Pakistan. RESPECT ❤️❤️❤️❤️✌🏼🙌🏼🇬🇧🇵🇰

Hey Rosalie, just stumbled across your channel and I’m amazed at your reaction. Such an insightful take on a song where you didn’t even have the lyrics to know what it was all about? Whoa!! And the understanding of Urdu language to an extent is great as well. So Hindi and Urdu are similar languages but Urdu is Pakistan’s official language along with English (aside from many regional languages such as Punjabi, Balochi, Pushto, etc.). Hindi is spoken in India. However, the base of raag and classical music and Sufi music is pretty similar in both counties. I just find more emphasis on Sufi-oriented music in Pakistan whereas Bollywood takes precedence in India and commercializes a lot of its music where things may get lost in remixes and lack of innovation. Anyhow, I was surprised that you didn’t have the captions on? The whole song has English captions in it. Fun fact: the producer of this song was the guy towards the end with the beard who was booping his head and hands in air while Hadiya was singing. His name is Xulfi. He produced the entire series of Nescafé Basement few years ago. He’s a musical genius having been a part of various rock and alternate rock groups in the past himself. He’s an innovator and a maestro at fusing eastern and western instruments. He believes in modernizing eastern music with time but not losing the essence of its Sufi / mystical base. He believes in spirituality and connecting with the higher power through his music. So Xulfi was asked to lead the globally famous now 14th season of Coke Studio. Nescafé basement had finished but he basically discovered a lot of emerging artists in it like Hadiya and brought them along with him as a team and as participants in Coke Studio 14th season too. Coke Studio is a series that was created in 2008 and has had some phenomenal music producers who reinvented and innovated existing but older gems / songs from Pakistan. So from 2008-2021, there has been 13 seasons led by various producers. Season 14 this year was Xulfi’s creation where he actually switched things up and created 13 brand new songs with different sounds and it became a massive hit. It aired from Jan-March this year. All songs have English captions. He also used the studio space to transform it into different sets for each song. This did not happen before. You must check out all of its songs. My favourites have been Ye Dunya, Phir Milenge, Go, Mehram (with Arooj who won Grammy this year as the very first Pakistani artist winning this prestigious award) and Go. Also, for a spiritual journey, you have to check out Tu Jhoom. I have a whole list of Pakistani songs besides Coke Studio season 14 that I can share with you with links. Pls let me know and I would be happy to do that if you are interested in checking out Pakistani music. It was a sheer delight to be here. Thank you for the mad love on this song 😊

Another subscriber. You deserve a bunch of million more

I loved your very natural reaction. Thank you. Subscribed

What a wonderful reaction to a truly great performance. You have captured the essence of what I experienced when I first heard it when it was first on Nescafé Basement back in February 2019. I have lost count of how many times I listened to it since. I'll try and calculate it when I have time or an inclination.

She’s a talented singer in such a young child so yes the tears are from lots of emotions colliding

Beautiful reaction rosalei

Best reaction from you Rosillae I ever saw

The best reaction i saw from your side...many people's did video on this song but your level is on the top...God bless you

Beautiful n expressive reaction. Loved it. Love. From Pakistan. U were great

Your reactions to the song are outstanding and so original thank you for making the video on this song stay beautiful love from Pakistan

It was amazing- And you gave wonderful reaction-

Thanks for playing this, it was mind blowing and the spirituality and amazing voice of lead singer and the girl are out of this world, I almost had the same reaction as yours, no matter which religion affiliation we have, the spirituality is universal and sentiments are also same. Peace

I Just cry when I see performances like this - people at their creative best are amazing. People at their creative best are not committing violence on animals or on each other. I cry at the relief of it. I love your reaction :) relate to it so much :) xx

Loved the reaction ❤️

Greetings from Pakistan. Your high quality reaction has got yourself another subscriber.

Loved your reaction

Great understanding of a beautiful song.❤

Great job Rosali!

Roselie being a Pakistani I have heard & understood this many times but every time I hear it ,it takes me to another world ...God bless you....

Your reaction was so much fun..

You can see the passion of singing in Hadya, that’s so precious. Some people are naturally talented

Great review loved it ♥️

Wow! no matter how many times you listen to this it is going to take you on a journey like no other... and thanks for sharing that in Hebrew its like a breath and comparing it to the word HU, and you are right HU is not a word its a very complex thing to explain, HU is not basically a term its an action its like a call... thanks for sharing that information it will open a lot of doors for me to think on... stay happy and stay blessed...

Great analysis. Thank you.

Blown away by yet song as well as the way you reacted. 😊

I've watched numerous passionate reactions to this gem of a song but your reaction was next level. If there were more people like you in this world, there's no doubt in my mind that world peace would be attainable. You were so moved by this masterpiece in part because of the profound lyrics. Two other gems on another Pakistani RU-vid Channel, Coke Studio, KHAKI BANDA and TU JHOOM, will no doubt fill your soul with joy with similar intensity. Please do react to them if not already (my first time here). Thanks in advance!

Why, why, cool goosebumps come over body when Hadia begins to sing !!!!

You learn something new everyday. Been hearing 'hoo' all my life, never occurred to me to associate it with breathing. What a beautiful concept! Now I know why the Sufis emphasize on 'hoo' so much.

Great job and very lovely reaction

awesome reaction I love it 😀 ❤️

I was waiting for your reaction when Hadiya would kick in. And it was just as I expected.

Unbelievable singing 👏👏👏👏 the poetry very very deep it's wake up call but we human ignore it ,... Your reaction another level congratulation 👏👏 perfect reaction 🎉🎉🎉 about poetry bravo

This is the only song that I have not become tired of listening to it over and over again.

Looks like you have music education, your comments are very clear and show your understanding of music, I enjoyed your your comments as well as the music. Please continue your good work.

All I can say & come with just she just unleash her self without noticing anything or anyone else around her ...
