I was watching Sedhu.I am not going to write anything about bgm as enough has been written to fill a book.The song Maalai en vedhanai...WOW!
the feature which struck me about this song was the sense of yearning...the sense of desperately looking for something.this has been one of IR songs` strongest points even in songs which were not about love failure-Thedal,I think is the correct word,in tamil.

Following is a list of my favorite songs in which this is very strong:
Vaan uyarndha-Idhayakkoil-this is THE IR song in this category
Rasave unnai naan-Thanikkattu raja
vaigaraiyil-payanangal mudivadhillai
Idhayam pogudhe-puthiya vaarpugal
Poongatru,pudhiranadhu-moonram pirai
What are your choices?

The following two, no three, came immediately to my mind:

Ennai thaalatta varuvaalo
Thaalattum poongatru naan allava
Nee dhaana nee dhaana nenje dhaana

- Murali

I agree with Prakash that this "thedal" factor is what makes many songs of Illaiyaraja very alluring and everlasting with an ache in my heart. I get an inexplicable feeling of yearning when I hear songs like "Deiveega raagam" (Ullaasa paravaigal), "Oru kanam oru yugamaaga"(Naadodi Thenral), "maalai karukalile andha malliyathottathile".

"maalai karukalile andha malliyathottathile".

Thumburu, which movie is this? or are u referring to Megam Karukayile from Vaidehi Waited?

I think its from some Ramarajan movie :?
Definitely the title should have 'Ooru' or 'Raasaa' in it :D

And a request to the MODS please move this to IR Albums section

Usha Sankar, you have aptly selected the songs which convey this sense of yearning. From your last list , "solam vedakayille" and "jodi nahigal" are extremely haunting. The prelude of "solam vedhakayille" , the opening humming by SPB in "jodi nadhigal" accompanied with the guitar music give me goose bumps even now.

tvsankar
3rd June 2005, 08:37 PM
Yes thumburu.These songs are evergreen for me!!!!
In fact, these songs are entirely defferent situations.Solam is in a village situation.Jodi nadhi is typical western style.Irandiayum same feelings la kekka vechare IR adhan avar greatness i think.
These songs haunting me very much.
What about this song? indha topic la serthu kollalama?
"Un kuthama en kuthama
Yarai nanum kutham solla"

with so many junk songs of today certified as "great" due to pathetic tastes, it is important to cherish IR's gems.

I actually heard the silas marner story by hearsay as a kid. By the time I got the book, 3 yrs passed and my story teller friend went to Norway. I wrote him about reading the story and he wrote back mentioning the eagerness with which Silas counts his pennies :)
