Over the years I have realized people who appreciate beautiful music, like this, are far and few. Whatever happened to the remaining during genetic formation of their hearing senses will forever be a mystery to science.

[inshashaikh]

Honestly torn between wanting to keep this piece of art just to myself and wanting the local train to blow up because they deserve all the recognition. <3

[nitzthakkar]

Who else believe they deserve more fame and recognition?

[gitasarkar]

For one and half years I have been fighting depression and sometimes I really don't know what to do with life and what I want and every time I feel lost, lonely I come back to you and you every time give me hope and the courage to stand and fight . I will forever be grateful to this band for giving me life and making my life meaningful. In every song I find myself and I reborn . Whenever I go for a counselling session i listen to your songs and I realise how much I want to live and to enjoy life and travel . Thanks for showing and helping me to realise that life is worth fighting for and all these ups and downs are the things that make life valuable and memorable. True music can always guide you and connect you to your soul.

Lyrics:

Khamosh bhid mai phir ho khade gumshuda
Maujud ho yaha ya gum kahi kis ko pata
Jab lage har ghadi key
Ab iss raat ki naa hai subah koi
Kar yakeen dekh tu key
Aaftaab woh hasi hai chupa yahi kahi

Chehrey mai tere band woh kitne sawal
Puchtey khushi ka pata
Baki abhi imtehan
Hai agar rah gujar par
Gehra andhera
Mahataab so chuka
Kar yakeen hamnashi key
Aaftaab woh hasi hai chupa yahi kahi

Kahin dur shor se
Ek naya daur hai
Mohtaaj na kisike
Naa puchey koi tera naam
Hi le jahan bas khushi
Falsafa bas yahin
To kar yakin

Jab lage har gadi key
Ab iss raat ki naa hai subah koi
Kar yakeen dekh tu key
Aaftaab woh hasi hai chupa yahi kahi

Kahin dur shor se
Ek naya daur hai
Mohtaaj na kisike
Naa puchey koi tera naam
Hi le jahan bas khushi
Falsafa bas yahin
To kar yakin

3:22 am at night, sitting in the window watching the rain with lightning and thunders. This song on repeat. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lyrics
Khaamosh bheed mei fir ho khade...gumshuda!
Maujood ho yahaan ya gum kahin...kisko pata!

Jab lage har ghadi ki, ab iss raat ki na hai subah koi
Kar yakeen dekh tu ki Aftaab(sunlight) wo haseen hai chupa yahin kaheen

Chehre mei tere band wo...kitne sawaal!
Poochte khushi ka pata baki abhi...imtehan!(test)

Hai agar rah guzar, par gehra andhera mahtab (Moon-light) so chuka
Kar yakeen hamnashee(Playmate/Friend) ke aaftaab ho haseen, hai chupa yaheen kaheen

Kahin door shor se, ek naya daur hai
Mauhtaj na kisi ke, na pooche koi

tera naam
ki le jo hum
bas khushi
far safar
bas yaheen
kar yakeen
(hooo..)

Jab lage har ghadi ki, ab iss raat ki na hai subah koi.
kar yakeen dekh tu ki aftaab(sunlight) wo haseen hai chupa yahin kaheen

Kahin door shor se, ek naya daur hai
Mauhtaj na kisi ke, na pooche koi

tera naam
ki le jo hum
bas khushi
far safar
bas yaheen
kar yakeen
(hooo..)

Its not 12 million people listening....its 12 k people listening hundreds of time ❤😊

This was one of those songs which I had in my playlist but somehow got lost and I didn't listen to or even if I did, paid no attention to.
Then today as I was strolling on the terrace in the evening with the wind blowing, pink sky, green hills, flock of birds flying as though confused and the houses in the distance slowly turning on their lights as the night descended, I realised I had almost missed this gem. ❤️

For those who don't know, Aaftaab means - Sunrise❤️

This comment section feels like home. Everyone is so warm and kind. Can we all be friends, please? :)

[muqaddimali]

I want to cry as much as I can. You guys are a gem. Pure heart, Pure lyrics, Pure words.

[barira]

This song has helped and continues to do so during the most difficult time of my life. Started listening this a year back when life hit me w severe depression and anxiety, even today when nothing goes right, I turn to this song. This song has given me hope when nothing else did. It has saved me. Thankyou :)

[rathibaral]

This band stole my heart. Looks like The Local Train has no plans to give it back. That's fine. Keep it forever. :)
Love from Bangladesh.

I've been listening to this song on loop for hours over days! Still can't get enough of it - love the transitions, and the baseline, and all of it! The moment when "Kahin door shor se..." kicks in - so good!!!

[debittreechoudhury]

Many would say that choo lo or aaoge tum kabhi is the best one of in my opinion, this is. The depth of this song is beyond anything, the harmony is unique. I used to listen it sometime when literally lagta tha ki mahtaab so chuka....par aaftab to aana hee tha uske baad. Now these days we all are passing through dark days, but we can still believe in aaftab. Thanks for this unique song.

*Lyrics: Aaftab #TLT *
Khamosh bheed mein
Phir ho khadein gumshuda
.
Maujood ho yahan
Ya gum kahin kisko pata
.
Jab lage har ghadi ke
Ab iss raat ki, naa hai subah koi
.
Kar yakin dekh tu ke
'Aaftaab' woh hansi, hai chupa yahin kahin
.
Chehre mein tere
Band woh kitne sawal
.
Puchte khushi ka pata
Baki abhi imtehaan
.
Hai agar rahguzar par gehra andhera
Mahtaab so chuka
.
Kar yakin humnashi ke
'Aaftaab' woh hansi, hai chupa yahin kahin
.
Kahin door shoor se
ek naya daur hai
.
Mohtaaj na kisi ke
na puche koi tera naam
ki le jahan bas khushi
falsafa bas yahi
Toh kar yakin....

2:00 AM, empty stomach, empty pocket, cold Winters, near the highway, vehicles passing by and this song 🎵 👌

[tanmay]

After a long hefty day, all you need is that one song to ease things up. Aaftaab is that gem. Thankful to have found 'The Local Train'🤍
