IR's Song Of The Day - Part 2.

I showed the song to my daughter who asked me to repeat atleast 7 times. first time it was for baby shalini whom she calls by 'her' name.
Then it was nedumudi venu's antics which she recognizes clearly as the ones I do when I play with her.
And then the music - by the end of 6th time she starts humming and then I know how simple the song is to really hum - this nature is very common among all classic lullabies, Right from Brahm's lullaby to namma oor thaalaatus. There is no unnecessary 'flurry' of notes in the composition...

Dear friends,

copy paste the entire text (including the '( and 2997 ) and then paste it in a new browser tab and launch it - it works and it is indeed a breathtaking experiment that Raaja has done.

Usha,

I guess I did not express myself correctly. I saw this song in youtube about a year or so back. I had missed it till then!!

This song, by the way, was also sung quite well by the guy who won the Malayalam Idea Star Singer contest last year. (I think Vivekanand was his name.) All the judges were in full praise of the tune and of Krishnachandar's singing.

There are atleast a dozen Raja songs in Malayalam for which I will give up any other film song. This belongs to that category.

Here is the link of Vivekanandan singing this song (Alliyilam Poovo):

Suresh,
thanks for the youtube. parkiren ipo.

Indha paatuku naan rombavae Mad............

Jai,

Nice observation about lullabies. In fact not only the tune but the orchestration is also done keeping this fact in mind. The orchestration is very touching but very simple as well (Simple when executed but not simple to conceive.) In the youtube link I had given, you can hear G Venugopal, the singer and judge, talk about Raja's 'controlled orchestration' for this song. (Sarath, another talks about 'edho moham' and its outstanding orchestration.) Infact in another program, the ETV Paadutha Theeyaga, when K Vishwanath came as the judge he also drew attention to the orchestration done by Raja for another of his gems, 'vatapatra saayiki' from Swathi Muthyam. He was saying that Raja had kept constant beat going throughout the song which gave a very good mood to the song. Infact in 'alliyilam poovo' also the mridangam beat follows the song constantly.

Suresh,
alliyilam - Vivek - Usha Uthup comments venumae - you tube venumae....
enaku kedaikalaiyae..

Usha, kettu patheengala? nalla irunthatha?

Usha,

I don't think anyone has loaded the Usha Uthup's comments in youtube.

Usha, is this what you are looking for?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdSk31zMSxs

shank,
Neenga kodutha link enaku work agalai.
But i come to understand that the song is - Naan porandhu vandhadhu ..

am i correct?

Yes, Usha...that is indeed the song from Maya Bazaar. Also did you check the youtube link I posted? Here it is again...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdSk31zMSxs

It has Usha Uthup's comments for Alliyilam. Isn't this what you were looking for or am I mistaken?

Shank,
thanks for the clarification.
Naan porandhu vandhadhu
Raaja vamsathilae.

The Usha Uthup comment on the "movement" feel that the Alliyilam song gives being very typical of IR is true.

Thinking about it - Wonder why IR is playing to this strength of his in a very limited way nowadays. Even among all the recent good songs, I could feel this kind of a "movement" in a limited way in 2 songs - Enge nee sendralum (Kannukkulle) & Oda thandil (Pazhassi raja).

In fact this "movement" strength / style of IR has been very effectively picked up by Vidya Saagar & he has been using them well - even the recent superhit in Mal- Neela thaamara's song - "Anuraaga vilochananayi" is a typical one in this style - an IR strength earlier - although in the mould of VS's earlier Mal songs - Karimizhi/aasai aasai/ Kannadi Koodum thedi.

Incidentally I've always felt "Kannadi koodum thedi" to be a restructured "Andhiyile Vaanam" of Chinnavar that was another "movement" song.

Saagar,

Usha Uthup always comments about the 'movement' in Raja's songs. Another song wherein she had the same comment was 'Ponnavani Paadam Thedi' from Rasathanthram. She exclaimed, "what movement in this song". I think you can hear this 'movement' in 'Allipoove' song as well. I feel even 'flying on the moon' and 'chan chanare' have the sort of movement Usha Uthup is referring to.

I haven't heard the Chinnavar song. I like 'kannadi koodum'. What you say about VS is quite right. He does get the movement right in many of his Malayalam songs.

Dear Saagar and Suresh,
Thanks for the discussions.

Thanks Usha for posting this song. I had missed it when it first released...surprisingly, not many people have heard this either. It seemed to have flown under the radar.

However, I was amazed at the creativity displayed in this song...it's very unique even by IR's standards. If we didn't know IR better, we might even say it borders on gimmickry. What IR displays here is his absolute control over choral parts and replacement of traditional instruments. Every element is so well thought out...which has always been IR's hallmark.

Thanks again, Usha.

Great song Usha. I was stunned when I listened to it after knowing that this has no instruments. I don't think I missed the instruments. Amazing vocals and chorus throughout.

Jai - thiraipaadal says lead singer as SJ but I can't seem to recognize her voice in this song.

Thanks Usha for posting this - A superb one! You're right -another song in the new category!

It's a revelation for me -Cursing how I've ignored this earlier - I had seen the movie when it had released , but not heard the songs otherwise & Somehow the movie was a huge turn-off at that time!

Suresh,

Surprised you have missed the Chinnavar song.

Link Here for you...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcCgqgHaNgI

Saagar,

You are right about the movie, Maya Bazar, being a big turnoff. I too didn't catch this song when the movie was released. RS later introduced me to this lovely song. Thanks Usha for the song and thanks to Shank as well for getting this song into the limelight it deserves.

Saagar,

Thanks for the Chinnavar link. Now I can see why you say 'kannadi' song of Vidyasagar is derived from this. The basic tune seems to be based on Mohanam in both cases and the orchestration for the pallavi is very similar.

Sorry Usha for taking the discussion in a tangent.

OMG.. Ivvalvu perum reply seidhu irukeengala....

Thank you friends..

Wish you all a Happy Pongal to you.....

shank,
Naan dhan ungaluku thanks sollanam..
