One hundred years from now, when so much of the nonsense of our age is forgotten, people will still remember the Vital Signs and listen to their music.
Hum Tum marked a rare moment of balance: between darkness and light; between hope and despair; between sonic storms and swooning sing-a-longs and, most remarkably, between the band’s members. For a brief moment in 1995 the Vital Signs worked once more, and it was glorious. Simply it was the sound of experience and hope on record. Somehow out of their own personal darkness, the Vital Signs had stepped defiantly back into the light.
Listening to 'Hum Tum' is like listening to cries from the underworld from someone who is coming back one last time to let his unsaid words out. Its a true sonic storm, indulgent, complex and straight out of the abyss. Swan song of the greatest band Pakistan will ever produce...
*Rohail Hyatt* to this day is disappointed that this album did not get the commercial recognition that it deserved. It was ahead of its time and is a classic.
Who can forget the obsessively dark comprehension, mystically brooding romanticism, poignantly melodic purity, ridiculously sublime sound engineering, defiantly uncommercial songwriting and fearless studio experimentation of Hum Tum.
Hum Tum was the sound of a band at the peak of their powers - both individual and collective - it's hard to think of another band of this vintage that would have been capable of sounding so vital and inspired.
Hum Tum is a masterpiece. Way ahead of times. You guys and speically Rohail Hyatt are the gems, wish you can work together on something in future , specially you and rohail
The great thing about cultural sophistication is having an appreciation of an eclectic range of aural stimulation to excite the mind when it's been created by geniuses who make the world a more tuneful place.
Each track on Hum Tum was underpinned by the Vital Signs at their brooding and melodic best. For as Iqbal said, only works conceived by the men of God are immune from the shafts of time.
IN THE CURRENT ERA OF DARKNESS WHEN THE ENTIRE NATION IS DOWN AND ARE SUFFERING FROM ANXIETY AND TENSION - IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SHAHI AND ROHAIL JOIN HANDS TO GIVE SOME COMFORT AND MENTAL RELAXATION THRU THEIR GLORIOUS MUSIC - BELIEVE ME THEIR MUSIC CAN HELP THE NEW GENERATION TO COME OUT FROM THE PRESENT MENTAL SITUATION AND CAN GIVE THEM A LOT OF ENERGY AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE !!!!
Seeing you sing and immerse yourself in the joy of music truly warmed my heart. It's always wonderful to witness people embracing the happiness that comes from singing. Remember, the essence of music lies in the joy it brings, not just to the singer but to those around them. Keep sharing your joy with the world!
Unfortunately, all neighbouring countries knew Atif,ali zafar,strings,junoon....but they even cant imagine....what music they have missed in their life bcoz vital signs never visited those countries
Inspired by pink floyd’s The division bell. Hum tum is a masterpiece where east & west fuse together and it works. Main chup raha,namumkin,dair ho gaye are gems which aren’t given the attention they deserve. Miss vital signs and JJ
Big fan of yours from Hyderabad-Deccan Thanks a lot for continuing the legacy of Vital Signs! Please try to organize a concert in UAE , we fans of yours from India can watch you live that way.

I waited outside a music store in Barkat Marker Lahore to open at 11:00am to buy Hum Tum, still feels like yesterday. I was doing B.com back then. Went to barkat market on public transport from my hostel in Punjab University.
Love this performance! Please share if you have a live performance of Hum Tum - Song ! Thats one the best creations of Vital Signs!! That level of Music wont be touched ever again... that blend of VS boys n Shoaib Mansoor... doesnt get better than that!
I was crying when i listen maula u sung at pepsi battle of band kasam se ap se milnay ka shooke hai mai bhi islamabad me rehta hoon or dil karta hai ap kay sath gane gaoon
Can anyone tell me the chords of "Main Chup Raha", I am struggling to figure them out for years, there are few suspended chords used. really appreciate it if someone can help?

"Hum Tum" is a criminally underrated album. It's actually a masterpiece, regardless of the politics within the band at the time!
I love how *Shahi Hasan* preserves the Vital Signs' legacy and keeps it fresh and up to date!

Hum Tum: A hauntingly beautiful album that still moves me to this day.

Hum Tum by Vital Signs. It was life affirming, it was perspective shifting, it was beautifully made.

The music from the Vital Signs will forever be in our hearts and forever in our playlists of memories.

This performance produced real sound of vital signs arrangments
Bassline was way ahead of its time for Pakistani Music…
Hum Tum by Vital Signs, the most underrated album in the history of Pakistani music!
Have to agree.
exactly , it was surely a MASTERPIECE only for a NICHE market not for masses
No doubt.
I think people were just not ready for it. Because it was light years ahead of its time.
You and rohail should team up for cokestudios next season. Take us back in time.
Never gets old....shahi hassan is the only person who can sing JJ songs....Jan 2024
KIA BAAT HAY - ORIGINAL VITAL SIGNS SOUND - TOOK BACK 3 DECADES

Hum Tum is one of those very rare, altogether too rare albums where not a single note could or should be changed.
Looking at your comments - you seem to be a bigger fan of VS than I!
Probably the best collection from VS. This album was a completely different perspective brought to our music in 90's. Only genius and brave can do it.

People compress if u remain silent even prone to wisdom.
Can anyone tell me the chords of "Main Chup Raha", I am struggling to figure them out for years, there are few suspended chords used. really appreciate it if someone can help?
Loved it over all but really wished the vocalist took the time to hit the notes right. All the best, any Vital Signs song is precious emotion
