Varunthum uyirku oru marunthagum

Wish I could get back to taking paattu classes again ! Miss the passionate discussions on music in general and the nuances of each song in particular, with Shiva and B.K !

Reminds me of how appa would put the song on loop and we'd keep listening to it over and over again and still would'nt get enough of it...

Sigh...

ram, i trust u wud know that kanda naal mudhal is not an original tune.. jus like alaipayuthey.. a traditional carnatic number spruced up with a western beat... does sound good though :)

comin to ilayaraja, the song i cant have enuff of, out of all his recent compositions, is this opening title number of the film adhu oru kanaa kaalam.. a balumahendra film, and ilayaraja has sung it himself, as only he can.
that now is the kind of song that no other music director has ever done.. such a simple song, so softly and simply orchestrated, and written (he wrote the lyrics himself too), and sung. he simply is divine. the song's called kaattu vazhi kaal nadaiyaa...
beautiful composition.

"kanavinile oruththi ange vanthaalaa
nalla kanivodu oru pechchu sonnalaa
kaalamellam thonairuppen endraalaa
ada kan muzhichaa kai velagi ponaalaa
nenavum kanavaaga ingu nijamaa nadandhidumaa
dhenamum antha nenappil un vaazhvum thodarndhidumaa
Vaazhka kanavilla nenavilla unmayadaa" - good un...1st stanza from "kaattu vazhi kaal nadaiyaa..." (referred by Girish) - pedal max song...

the song kaatril varum geethame is splendid... hats off to people who sung .. hats off to ILAIYA RAJA... NOBODY CAN BEAT HIM IN MUSIC... HE WAS , HE IS AND HE WILL BE THE GREAT MUSIC DIRECTOR...BHAVATHARANI HAS A SWEET VOICE...A.R CANT COMPETE WITH HIM.... A.R. HAS LOST HIS TRACK IN MUSIC .. NO GOOD MUSIC TILL NOW......
