u00a0&ldquo;The right lyrics help me really connect with a number,&rdquo; says KK, who has given hits like Pal, Zindagi Do Pal Ki, Maine Di Se Kaha and others. Taking a break from a recording, KK chats with CS about lyrics and his philosophy in life: <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jun/kk.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 481px; " /> Who: KKu00a0 What: Talking about lyrics now and thenu00a0 Where: At a studio in Andheriu00a0 Musical connect I like to finish a song and forget about it. It&rsquo;s out of my system once I am out of the studio. I feel, if you mull over something too much, you keep finding faults in it and keep trying to better it. That would be endless. I believe in doing and feeling whatever it is in those two hours, not beyond that. Give it your 100 per cent in one go.u00a0For me, the lyrics matter a lot. If they don&rsquo;t make sense, I can&rsquo;t get the feel of the song. Though I may get the technicalities right, somewhere the emotions will be lacking. By God&rsquo;s grace, I have not had to reject any song yet because of bad lyrics. Cheap and corny words put me off. But then, it&rsquo;s your connect. If a singer can do it convincingly, then it&rsquo;s fine. I can&rsquo;t, and so, I won&rsquo;t do it. Even if some good lyrics come to me, but they are beyond my grasp, I&rsquo;ll be honest enough to step back. Changing with the times There are a lot of lyricists out there who can write good stuff, and I see a lot of great lyrics even now. It&rsquo;s a bit different from what it used to be because we live in a very different society now. There was calmness in the olden times; now everyone&rsquo;s in a hurry. So, you can&rsquo;t compare the two. That&rsquo;s wrong! When you try to see how much the music of those times related to that era, and how much today&rsquo;s music relates to the present, you&rsquo;ll find that we are not too far away. Taking it easy I don&rsquo;t plan too much. I am too indisciplined. If you tell me, &lsquo;KK come everyday at 10.30 am and do a song&rsquo;; I&rsquo;ll do that for two days and the third day you won&rsquo;t find me. I&rsquo;ll be suddenly out of town. My wife doesn&rsquo;t have an option but to accept this behaviour of mine, but then this just shows that I am not a workaholic, which means I can have more family time. Romantic at heart I sometimes sing for my wife. But she playfully stops me from singing every time. She says, &lsquo;Shut up! Don&rsquo;t sing!&rsquo; And then I say, &lsquo;Everybody wants me to sing and you are the only one who doesn&rsquo;t want to hear me sing.&rsquo; (Gives a naughty smile)u00a0

We might be singing every other song, but singer KK's numbers tend to stay on with listeners for a really long time. And it could be because he chooses songs with good lyrics.
