Indeed, esp along the lines "சிரித்த சிரிப்பில சில்லரையும் சிதறுது சிவந்த முகும் கண்டு என் மனசு பதறுது " Only SPB Possible :notworthy:

Exactly, PS. After that line and just before coming to pallavi that 'Yei' and a pause, oh man! those were the songs.
App, excellently put on salai oram and I expected you would write that the last happy song of the movie before the unhappy climax and ending, and it was there! :smile: Beautiful romance on a pleasant evening and on a no man's road as Ushaji put.
Thank you Usha Chechi & welcome back to this thread :wink: Hopefully Param won't drive you out again :lol2:
Thanks V_S, sAlai Oram was among the richly orchestrated numbers (and recorded decently too) of that time period, IMO, though not to the levels of the kOzhi koovuthu ones that came out in the same year.
Perhaps the topper in PM if one "counts" the # of instruments used :-)
I simply love the prelude, one of IR's best!

The irumal / serumal pathos song where SPB acts it out to terrific effect!
Some IR-detractors would love to call this song a recycle of 'mAthA un kOvilil' but I disagree. May be same rAgA (someone please confirm) but there are many notes that are different as per my siRRaRivu and I fail to understand how they call both as the same melody :roll: These are not a pair like "kuyilukkuppam kuyilukkuppam & thooLiyilE Adavantha" .
The prelude itself sets the melancholy in a striking manner and the whole song has depressing tone written all over. Phenomenal singing by SPB -especially the saraNams - and nice support by SJ! With the melody taking care of the necessary impact, IR chose to let the orchestration be minimal with strings / veeNA / flute creating the needed pathos effect.
On the screen too they show the female singer in a totally sOgham way (apart from the struggling Mohan). Supposedly Kalyani Menon (who sang 'nee varuvAi ena nAn irundhEn' in the movie Sujatha under MSV & 'sevvAnamE pon mEghamE' in nallathoru kudumbam under IR's baton; mom of Rajiv Menon who did minsArakkanavu / kaNdu koNdEn*2 )...someone please confirm.
Personally, I found great thrill in the exact reproduction of SPB-isms using my vocal chords in the hostel room :-) Though appreciated by some, one guy was blunt in telling me to stop such nonsense and not sing anymore :lol: (He became a good friend in the next few years, excellent carrom player who took me as partner in doubles inter-hostel matches). His reasoning : I was taking care of all nuances correct but my voice was totally unacceptable & he said songs are 'kaRpooram'! Well, over the years, this was confirmed by more loved ones (my son, wife) and I'm restricted to singing alone in car or in the bathroom when water in on :lol:
yes, "doraghuna" effect! , SPB again done this type of irumal stuff in some 90's song composed by Deva , cant actually remember the name, but the song was quite good for "Dev" Standards.
you mean the song from Naan Kadavul? If so there is no similarities what so ever .
Thanks fully The "Speech Recognition" functionality in the hub is disabled :lol2:
Joking anna :)
Yes, it was posted a few times in the hub...BTW, it was a "remix" in nAn kadavuL, the original was by S Janaki in the movie 'achchANi' (we've discussed about the SPB-PS song 'thAlAttu, piLLai uNdu thAlAttu' in this thread)...
