Raja thought us effective reusability long time back I guess.

The song overall will look very very youthful and romantic with a young looking Suresh and Radha.

I envy you at times when you get to see old movies of IR.. :D... Even this song to us seems ordinary but if other MDs do it..its like a masterpiece..that is how IR has spoiled us with his musical input in songs. :clap:

Yesterday I was listening to "Andarangam yaavume" from the movie Ayiram nilave Vaa by SPB.
Wow!!What a song. There is no one else who could compose such a song and no one else could sing the way SPB has sung. But everybody else could enjoy.
The best part is a solo violin the 2nd interlude and it really mesmerises.

Thanks :)

Great pick Hyte :clap: Good to see more people actively participating and stating their treasures of IR which actually if you add up is innumerable. So many songs with his stamp with different style and even in that style different versions.

Prelude - The song has a MSV style feel to it with the humming and the soft music. But if you are very careful you will notice that the humming is succeeded by IRs own style of soft music and humming with the violins and guitar coming in. In testimony it is IR showing how he has promoted the techniques of MSV with WCM to show his own style. :clap:

Interludes - The first interlude seemes reminiscent of 70s IR melodies which had the same style of orchestration for very soft romantic songs. One of the few songs in which IR lets lyric s dominate rather than the music which can be evident here. Probably complimenting the tune of the song. The second interlude is a return to IR's techniques with the guitar impressing immediately. If you guys notice the guitar is actually being played with one string in the first part and with two strings in the second part continuing the notes. A innovative deviation by IR :clap: The violins have got abit of dragging and high pitch tempo with varied octaves quite trademark of IR. Watch out for the guitar in the song guys.

Tune - Certainly the tune is something that compliments the lyrics very well. A bit of a info about IR is that he has two types of composing styles. One is he lets the music bring the life in the lyrics and Two vice versa where he lets the music play second fiddle to the lyrics. A recent example is Andha Naal Gnyabagam of Athu oru kana kaalam where lyrics dominate the song. This song is the same as well with the tune and lyrics being the main attraction. It also shows IR's flexibility in composing music as well.

But that does not mean it is just plain music. Has i stated IR even plays/experiments even if the song is dominated by lyrics and it is shown in the prelude and instrumentation of the guitar as well. That is how extraordinary IR is even for music that is simple according to his orchestration standards :D :notworthy:

Nice Point Hulks, though a digression, I wish to quote another song from Athu oru kana kaalam .. Kaattu vazhi kaal nadaya.. hwre lyric takes the front seat with a mellifluous music as bgm. Guess, Swathi has mentioned earlier that she likes this song.

I watched this film last year with my friend and on first hearing he said that he liked this song.. though it was building on me slowly as we were watching this song together.

Swathy,
Why don't you take up with admin to have a page listing all the IR SOTD's that've been presented here...and you might also consider s#'ing the songs...which may even help avoid repeats...

EdhO ninaivugaL, kanavugaL munbE indha thread'il pArthathu pOl gnAbagam...

In any case...a great song...excellent performance by both KJY & SPS...classic orchestration...with noteworthy bass guitar...

I used to sharpen my ears to listen to the bass guitar "twist" in the first interlude (changeover from descending violins to ascending wind instrument) in radio those days...in a treble driven world:-)

IR's signature tabla-bass guitar koottaNi is in full swing in this song!

Yes renault sir...kaatu vizhi kaal nadaiya had this brilliant violin piece playing throughout the song that just mesmerised me. I only listen to the song just to hear that piece...it shows IR's energy in his orchestration is as new as ever. :D
