In the midst of scorching summer days, two talented local artistes have come together to create a hilarious yet relatable song that perfectly captures the essence of the summer heat. Titled “Korom Heter,” the song was originally written and composed by Jentiyanger, but it has been given a fresh twist by the creative genius of ilmi Longkumer.
“Korom Heter” is a delightful fusion of traditional and contemporary elements, combining Jentiyanger’s original lyrics in his native Mongsenyimti dialect with ilmi Longkumer‘s musical expertise. ilmi rearranged the sequence, crafted an infectious beat, and even added a verse in his own Longsa dialect, adding a unique touch to the song’s narrative.
The song’s lyrics are a playful reflection of the relentless and uncomfortable heat of the sun during the summer season. With witty wordplay and humorous metaphors, it comically complains about how challenging it is to live with such scalding temperatures.
But amidst the laughter and light-heartedness, “Korom Heter” also weaves in a deeper message. As the song explores the discomfort of enduring the summer heat, it playfully ponders how much more of a struggle it would be for someone destined for eternal damnation in the cauldron of hell. This clever juxtaposition prompts listeners to reflect on life’s challenges and the desire for a better future.
In one of the added verses by ilmi Longkumer, the singer exclaims that no matter how unbearable the summer heat might be, he is determined to face it head-on. The verse takes a twist as the singer expresses the determination to strive for heaven instead of facing the potential consequences of not making it there.
The infectious melody and catchy beats of “Korom Heter” have quickly made it a local favorite, spreading joy and laughter among the listeners. Released on Tuesday, the song has become an anthem for enduring the heat with a smile.
