Sajid and Zeeshan – Walk on Air (Audio / Video Review)

By Hani Arif

Sajid and Zeeshan are back. Their album’s slated to be released this month entitled “The Harvest”.

The precursor is out and it’s called “Walk on Air” — An uptempo track mixing guitar elements (acoustic/electric) with dance music. News earlier came out of their next album being different in sound than their first. This track release is relief that even with live drumming coming into the new album, some tracks shall remain grounded to the Sajid & Zeehsan first album sound.

The video has elements of the audio by having the major part of the video in black&white and the infectious guitar solo in color which mixes well with the dance beats having a nineties sound and the guitars a very modern and pacey strum rhythm.The song is pure love right from the barre chord beginning to the strumming ending.

A visual pun can be seen in towards the ending of the video when the lens provides a close shot of the shoes which Sajid is wearing and it gives a reason to think if this track was made on the name of this particular footwear brand.

Although there would be videos that have slow motion — black and white elements in them but some refreshing shots are in this video too.

The Words

The track itself is well written which has the mention of the simple pleasures in life. And interesting
philosophical word usage is imminent with lines like

I know, when everything comes down on me,
And I am left with no more screams,
I’ll gently lift up the floor and
Start to walk on air

another interestingly written part is

But space, was never shorter than its place
And still I roam around and round and all around

This is meaningful songwriting that seems to be lost in the music made by people who have English as their native language.

Sajid and Zeehsan are the clear indication of the potentially global appeal the musical talent that exists in Pakistan. Songs that should be no.1 on charts worldwide and videos that should have million of hits.

Let’s make it happen!
