Neethane En Ponvasantham | Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu | Assi Nabbe Poorey Sau

OK, now all those of you who can sing all the interludes in all the songs of NEPV please raise your hands !!! Ah, as expected most of you have raised your hands.

Well, this is one album where the supporting music has embedded itself so easily into our ears as the main melody. I mean there are so many songs whose interludes we all know and cannot sing the song without singing those interludes but in this movie, it is happening to me for _every_ song. Whether it be the minimalistic 'Pengal Enral' or the power packed, 'mudhal murai' or the grand second interlude of 'saindhu saindhu' or the synth of 'ennodu vaa'. Not to mention the WCM beauties of 'satru munbu' and 'vaanam mella' and the jazz treat of 'katrai konjam'.

The second interlude of 'saindhu saindhu' especially is a lovely. Even while I am driving the car and my mind has shifted from the music to the road, this interlude draws me back into the music immediately. I _have_ to sing along. It is a complex piece of orchestration but it is now so familiar that I sing it as if I composed it !! Then there is 'satru munbu'. The multi layered and complex interludes are now child's play. When you listen to orchestration you understand how much melody Raja has built into the work that inspite of the multiple layers and the very complex interaction between the instruments, you are still able to sing the whole interlude without missing a single note. For me it happens that when I am singing the main melody loud, my 'mind voice' is singing the backing orchestration!!! That's how we have become now. Especially when you come to the 'thottu thottu' part towards the end, we get confused as to whether we should sing the main melody or we should sing the chorus that happens in the background!!!

For this reason, I think NEPV is an unique album. Every note of every song in the album is now memorized. And the beauty is that we did not even try to memorize it!!

Not just this album, I usually have the habit of singing everything - main melody + instruments (the result is a great comedy show for my wife). Even main melody, i sing gibberish lyrics, a mix of tamil and whatever my mouth can fit in at that point of time. As for this album, the comedy quotient in my attempts have increased tremendously and my wife laughs like crazy listening to what all I sing. Examples like... I sing "Thalli Thalli PonaalumDaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooon... Paadhamarku thoolaalumDaaaaoooon...Thangamaadupendraalum Paaradeeee". the Daaaooooon there are cello portions :-D

Even Sattru Munba, I sing the closing line of Pallavi as "Ellaame poidella solllaadhaaaaa.., Borororoyroy(cello portions)" :-) Or my Mudhal Murai rendition goes as "Mudhal Murai paarka paadalumDarararraaa.. Mudha etha podi ponalumDarararara... idhayathil enoooorrrdhadhadhadhadha.dha dha dha dha DHA.." the last word of pallavi "Baaram" never comes in my rendition :-D

Ok tamil fans, dont blast me for spoiling tamil there. I admit I sing gibberish..

I can even sing Composer's breath from Nothing But Wind, in Gibberish :-)

aakarsh,

Don't worry. Tamil fans will think you are singing stylishly :D Afterall they have been weaned on Udit Narayan, Sonu Nigam and co :)

Sureshji, :exactly:, seriya sonninga.

aakarsh, :rotfl2:
I'd be guilty of doing the same with some of the telugu songs, especially the fast-paced/dance numbers. (jagada jagada can be a laugh riot! :oops:)

Sureshs65,

I protest : the songs Sonu Nigam has sung for thalaivar have been faultless as far as diction is concerned : "pU Puththadhu" in Mumbai Express, "enna pAttu vENum unakku" in that Fazil film come to mind readily.

Dont worry, with the kind of lyrics some songs have, among those fast paced ones (exlcude Jagada Jagada), I think your gibberish can be more ear-friendly than the actual Telugu words there :-) Suresh too will agree with this :-)

rajabhaktan,

While I do get your point, honestly in both those songs I am not too happy with Sonu's diction. I agree he is far better than Udit, who ofcourse is unbeatable in this regard in any south indian language.
