If i am not wrong...rahman decides the tune first and sends to the lyricists to write the lyrics for the song...after deciding on the lyrics and confirming them he then decides upon the singer and the way to be sung.

After all is done then the sounds,orchestration and instrumentation are added...thats y the song sounds in harmony everytime. :P

He will even continue working on the song after he's submitted it to the director for shooting. If you have seen the initial video of Kaatril Oor Vaarthai from Godfather you'll notice it does not have a lot of the instrumentations that are on the audio CD version.

i think it´s the other way around...first the lyricists write lines which suite to the situation the director describes them. after that they contact the music director and he set tunes suitable to the lyrics.

that´s the usual way a song is developed. maybe rahman prefers the other way.

Btw u guys can read naresh iyer's interview with chinmayi i think...reported in hindu newspaper where naresh discussed rahman's composing style..i took my sources from there.

Dragun about the working part..i think maniratnam has told us about that when they asked him for comments about rahman's working style...
