1) An English singer-songwriter.
2) A Bangladeshi rock band.
3) A Malaysian singer-actor.
4) A hip-hop artist from New York.
1) Black is the name by which Liverpool born singer/songwriter Colin Vearncombe (26/5/1962 - 26/1/2016) identified himself through his music career. Dave Dix was also a member of the band from 1981 to 1988.
His fist gig was New Year’s Day, 1982 and his debut single 'Human Features' was released the same year. An erratic few years followed and he signed for WEA records in 1984, but the relationship was not fruitful and Vearncombe was dropped during the promotion period for the single ‘More Than The Sun.’
Black had two top-ten hits in the UK in 1987: 'Sweetest Smile' and 'Wonderful Life'. The album of this name reached no. 3 in the UK album chart, but following albums and singles did not enjoy similar commercial success. He was able to continue recording music, releasing 14 albums over the course of his life. His latest, ‘Blind Faith’, was released in 2015.
Vearncombe died in Cork, Ireland, on January 26, 2016, after suffering from head injuries in a car accident.

Later the band line-up changed as Miraz and Tahsan joined the band in 2000 and Spondon and Asif left the band. Their first song was released in an underground mixed album "Charpotro", their first solo album Amar Prithibi was released in 2002 which is still a big hit. Their second album Utshober Por got released in 2003. Both albums were released from the label G-Series. Though their released music now defines them, and that has been a plethora of styles present in them from nu metal to emo like alternative, they had before that time performed in a lot of underground metal concerts covering the likes of Pantera. They are pretty known for their innovative stances on music and performance.
3) Hanifah bin Md Hanafiah , rather known mononymously by his stage name Black, is a Malaysian singer and actor who rose to fame after winning the third season of the local reality show Mentor. At the time, Black was the protege of renowned Malaysian singer Mas Idayu.

Shobdo
Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
যদিও থাকি ভিন্ন ভিন্ন ঘরে
তবু একটাই ঘর আমাদের এই প্রান্তে
কি কারণে অন্ধ অনেক কান্না হাসি?
শব্দে আমাদের সবার আমার তোমার অনুভুতি
শুনতে পারো কি তোমরা এই শব্দ?
তোমরাই তো মানো যে আমরা একা না
একি মঞ্চে আমরা সবাই
একি সাথে মিশে যাই
The lyrics of Black's song "Shobdo" speak to the power of language and shared experiences in connecting people despite their differences. The first stanza establishes the idea that although people may live in separate homes, they still coexist under the same sky. It is an acknowledgement of their shared humanity and shared environment. Despite having distinct living spaces, they have one common space: the world.
The second stanza asks a rhetorical question about why people who share the same language and emotions still experience misunderstandings and disagreements. The answer lies in the inherent limitations of language. Words are mere symbols that can never fully capture the complexities of human feelings and experiences. However, despite the limitations of words, they are still a powerful tool to communicate and connect with others.
The chorus highlights the power of the word "shobdo" or sound. The melody and tone of the words can evoke emotions and experiences that are beyond their literal meanings. The verse challenges the listener to think about whether they can truly understand the nuances of the sounds they hear and the emotions they express through them. Ultimately, the song celebrates the shared experiences and unity that can be created through the power of language, despite the differences among individuals.
