பாடவா உன் பாடலை
(நான் பாடும் பாடல், ஜானகி, த்ரில் வெர்ஷன்)

At times my wife'll

me with peculiar questions.

One such question yesterday when this song was played in the vaNdi :
"இது ஜானகி தானே? "
(Ofcourse, she followed up with a lot of praises for the voice )

Malaysia and Murai and Raaja - in Kannada - a Unique combination. The song is the absolute tribute to the combination Raja and MV. Raja ups the ante with the awesome prelude and Malaysia matches with an awesome pallavi singing hitting the blocks right from the first note. Then Raaja throws in a challenge with a first interlude, and Malaysia proves equal to the task. Then Raaja goes into his "Zone" and comes up with the best second interlude of the century and then Malaysia matches the "freakishness" with his non stop second charanam starter which is a blinder. And then ends up the song with a "hrrr hrrr" that can only be done by Kishoreda - no matter what freakish line of instrumentation Raaja serves up, Malaysia proves equal to the challenge. The song is a delight - needless to say.. A Raja Malaysia classic...

Wow lots of songs to catch up on

Whenever I hear this song by chance, I got to find it and replay it to my heart's content...

Mano's version of "Aasiyilae" from "Enga Ooru Kaavalkaaran" something wonderful happens every time I hear "naanaa paadaliyae.. neethaan paada vachche.."

btw...however silly this question is

...what does this line mean...?
"aasaiyilae paaththi katti
naaththu oNNu nattu vaikka "....

I can only surmise it's about planting right?

with more attention to the other songs of this album "Mala Karukalilae" is quite pleasing, The flute has the chance to be playful in "Thopparam Thotthil" "Arumbagi Mottagi Poovagi"...sweet but something missing I feel...it seems kind of sedated and sombre...

Endrum Vaana VeLiyil, Aadai Kondu Aadum (similar to Aayiram thaamarai mottukkale) or Ninaithu Ninaithu (P Susheela and that second interlude with Veena, makes a beautiful number) or Raja-BSS's excellent Sollikodu, the songs are dearest to me. Since I like them a lot, I mentioned about this in another forum as well.

Endrum Vaana VeLiyil (my favorite and pick) - Starts with super confident guitar (with piano), "bestest" after Ilaya Nila. When Unni Menon starts humming, again that bass guitar chords, unbelievable!! Pallavi again is backed up by guitar riffs. But the first interlude starts surprisingly with a brisk piano and guitar followed by heavy violins. I don't know why Maestro always saves the best for second interlude. The piano run in second interlude is not we hear very often. Beautiful tune and song, but again it has become a rare gem, rather than popular.

V_S What a find!!

Never heard this album before
Aadai Kondu Aadum certainly does bring to mind "Aayiram thaamarai" also a certain snake charming musical touch, it succeeds in sounding lilting and yet jazzy as well...

I couldn't believe it was Unni Menon singing "Endrum Vaana Veliyil" great write up btw, though think of the admiration a rare gem has in being found and shared rather than the popular song that is shared by all...just a silly musing.

"Ninaithu Ninaithu"....beautiful rendition by P. Susheela and touching lyrics as well...beautiful use of violins here...

+++++++++++++++++
Midisipade Deepalivi Asthulu Anthasthulu- a quirky surprise at hearing this song...a song that has become synonymous with my childhood just because of how many times the cassette was played...at first I remember not liking this song because the singer sounded so angry at the lady and I could tell she was being blamed but for what I didn't know...now it's a memorable fave...nice to hear it in a different way...

Listened to the ethereal beauty last night.....woke up with the lingering மயக்கம் this rainy, cold morning.
I can't wait for the end of the day...இளையராஜா, I so immerse in your sensational sangeetham to awaken my senses & push my bliss button.

ஜானும்மா is SEXY & what a classical flute ,violin work from இளையராஜா, raagam simmendramadhyamam .

எப்பொழுதும் உன் சொப்பனங்கள்
முப்பொழுதும் உன் கற்பனைகள்
சிந்தனையில் நம் சங்கமங்கள்
ஒன்றுறேண்டா என் சஞ்சலங்கள்....I just melt

கார்த்திக் is cute & cuddly
வினதா .

Thanks KV and Querida, for liking KNBN songs. They are just memorable!

Naalai Engal Kalyanam. Thanks to Devaraagam for introducing me to this film through 'IR Song of the day' thread.
Again a wonderful album, but one song totally caught me by surprise.It is 'Vaanam Bhoomi' by M G Sreekumar and Minmini.
It starts with a male chorus followed by gentle flute. The surprise element is the pallavi and charanams have same melody (tune), but Maestro uses the interlude space mostly as charanam (chorus, not just humming) and the rest for instruments. Basically he shuffled the interlude with charanam and vice versa keeping the same pallavi, how did he do that, can't believe how beautiful the outcome is. Totally Stumped!!

This song is best to be heard while driving, as you will drive at the same speed, just like song's pace and momentum.
Beautiful song and I love the chorus!

Whoever it is who is putting up Ilaiyaraja songs on youtube with a picture of him replacing the video is doing us a favour a lot of the time...
