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

Why is Sony Music releasing the entire album and not just samples on Youtube as audio? Have they done this for other movies?

All the songs are going to be uploaded on youtube anyway. This way at least you can have a control and target NEPV audience effectively for online and other promotions. Good counterattack.

Anyway, on multiple listening. I'm liking Pengal Yendral more and more. We shouldn't look for typical raja type melody. This is new and by design it is not supposed to be that kind of a melody. Pure Rock type stuff here.

1) Very apt beginning for the song. Like the beat. Opens heavy and quickly sets up the tone for the song. Also sets ups different electric guitar work that will be used/explored later in the song.
2) After the intro, when Yuvan returns and questions again (2nd time) Pengal Yendral Poiya Poithana? The electric guitar seems to screams back to him "Of course!!!" LOL. Pennin Kaathal Kannin Maithana?? Electric guitar "Of courses" again.
3) As Yuvan sings one more time "Pengal Yendral Poiya Poithana" The electric guitar poses the same question back.
4) "Pengalin Kaathalin Artham Ini, Mullin Mael Thungidum Pani Thuli" is laced with tender piano notes with touch of love. The piano idea revisits in the saranam.
5) "Kaalai Veyil Vanthaalae, Odi Pogum Thanaalae, Kaathal Varum Munnaalae.. Oh.. Oh.. Kanneer Varum Pinnale.. Oh. Oh.. " The heavy hearted electric guitar traces along Yuvan's singing beautifully and prepares for the landing of the next notes to follow.
6) Lands really well on -- Enna Solli Enna Penne Nenjam Oru Kaathaadi Thathi Thathi Unnidathil Thaavuthadi Koothaadi. Expresses Loss of control as if he is a puppet pulled by his girl's love. The instrumentation around these lines are great and finishes with cool drum ending.
7) Unable to wriggle out the love, the song comes back to main pallavi. Yuvan ends in high pitch as if summoning help from heaven to deal with pain.
8) Now introspection time for the character in the interlude. Needs a breather before getting back to heavy tone. Love the interlude. Nice electric guitar work and arrangement. Electric guitar ends on a heavy note and prepares for a heavy saranam to follow.
9) Piano layers in beginning of saranam brings vulnerable feeling that is still laced with love -- "Itharkuthaana Aasai VaiththaaiIthayam Kaetkuthey, valukkukaga Thudika Vaendaam
Endru Verukkuthey"
10) Moves to hopelessness with "Mathi Ketta Ennidam, Manam Nonthu Sonnathu, Maranaththai Pol Intha, Penn Ival Èndrathu". The instruments sympathizes and soothes him without losing the heavy feeling.
11) Next. "Theeyai Pondra Penn Ival endru Therinthu Kondathey En Manam". Evokes No-I-still-hate-this-girl. Instruments around it agrees with him "Yes mamu, pennai nambathey"
12) This feeling gives way to anguish again and gets ready for main pallavi ("Anbu Šeitha Ayuthangal Pennidaththil Undu Aeraalam")
13) Everything returns to heavy mode. The song ends with anguish almost turning into anger!

The electric guitar is a second character in the song and agrees with tune and main character feeling 100%. The piano touches bring love. This is called composition! Very intricate and well thought out. And not throwing some random interesting stuff hoping that it would all get stuck together! Look at the unity in the song. Everything falls in place when it should and the way it should. One could be making hundreds of notes about this song. Thumbs up Raja.

My big question now, is the general public that capable of absorbing and appreciating this master piece or whatever adjectives that my more talented critics like suresh and other few friends on the hub may name it. I only hope that this master piece gets the respect as other 80's gems that our maestro has churned out. If the movie is only half good as the songs are, there could be riots in theatres. The youth crowd who have long started to like other music these days, can really start appreciating the current Raja. Let us wait and see.

Beautifully written.....I agree with your analysis

Superb writeup senthiltv on Pengal endral, fully agree with you about the rock elements in that song. NEPV is turning out to be a thoroughly satisfying album for me, no complaints at all.

I second this. I was just reading his post line by line while listening to the song. Nice senthiv.com. As a counterpart to "Pengal Yendral", Raja composed Mudhal muRai for female side with Sunidhi Chauhan. Exceptional Album from Raja. It has everything for youth.

Request senthilv.com to publish his view on "Pengal Yendral" in Amazon site.

Envazhi.com comes up with a neat article! Must Read!

இதுவரை எந்தத் தமிழ் திரைப்படத்துக்கும் நடந்திராத அளவுக்கு நேர்த்தியாகவும், பிரமாண்டமாகவும், இசைமயமாகவும் அமைந்த ஒரே இசை வெளியீட்டு விழா இதுதான் என்றால் மிகையல்ல.

பொதுவாக ஒரு சம்பிரதாயமாக மாறிப்போன இசை வெளியீட்டு விழாவை, இத்தனை பரவசமான அனுபவமாக மாற்றிய பெருமை இசைஞானி மற்றும் இயக்குநர் கவுதம் மேனனையே சேரும் என்பது நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு வந்திருந்த செய்தியாளர்களின் கருத்தாக இருந்தது!
