Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[V_S]

Lyrics, very powerful and so very philosophical. Who wrote? I certainly feel it should be Maestro himself.

kaattu vazhi thunbam illai kallum muLLum thollai illai
kaattu vazhi thunbam illai kallum muLLum thollai illai
sumaigalellaam sumaiye illai kaala dhooram bayame illai
Porappu enum noyinile porappeduthom dhegathile
Porappu enum noyinile porappeduthom dhegathile

நீரால் உடல் கழுவி - அப்படியே மனசை கழுவித் துடைக்கிறது. வழக்கமான பல்லவி,சரணம், சரணம் என்ற சட்டகத்தை விட்டு அவ்வப்போது இதுபோல ராஜா வெளிவரவேண்டும். என்னே ஒரு கட்டமைப்பு! குரல் தேர்வு, வரிகள், பின்னணி இசை எல்லாமே ஒரே புள்ளியில் குவிந்திருக்கிறது. பிரமாதம். பேரானந்தம். சுகானுபவம்.

மா.விநாயகம் - காலம் தாழ்ந்து ராஜாவின் இசையில் பாடியிருக்கிறார். அந்த வெற்றிடத்தையெல்லாம் "நீரால் உடல் கழுவி" ஆட்கொள்கிறது. இனி வரும் படங்களிலும் இவரை தொடர்ந்து ராஜா பயன்படுத்தணும்.

தொப்புள் கொடி புடிச்சி
தொத்தி வந்த இப்பிறப்பு
எப்ப தொடக்கியதோ?
எப்போ தடங்கிடுமோ!
செப்பவே யாரிருக்கா
செப்பனிட பாதையிலே
செப்பாமே போகுதே தப்பு

V_S,

Lovely description of 'kaatu vazhi song'. Yesterday evening I put on my headphones and it was repeat of 'kaatu vazhi' and 'neeraal udal kazhuvi'. As you wonderfully put it, there is a lot of serenity in the 'kaatu vazhi' song and when he comes to the 'sambho siva siva' he takes the song to a different level. Wonderful album.

[Sureshs65]

Venki,

Well put. I too love that particular part of the song. Are these paragraphs all 'venbaa's? Someone who know Tamil poetry well can clarify.

[Sureshs65]

Venky,

A request to you (as well as to others). While Manicka Vinayakam sings very well, in some places his voice lacks clarity and I am unable to make out some words. Can you please post the lyrics in Tamil for all the four stanzas. That would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if already posted. Promo of SPB/ShreyaG song for RamaRajyam. What a combo

Brilliant! What a beety! Full expectations Turned On for this album. varuga varuga seekkram varuga

WOW VS, you really are impressed with Kaattu Vazhi. Very passionate writing I wonder what will happen when you listen to the rest of the songs. If you haven't come out of the zone of the one song, Kaattu Vazhi then believe me you will be stuck in this album for a lifetime. Looking forward to your thoughts on the rest of the album

Venkkiram - Well said - Neeral udal karuvi is a dream which when you wake up from your body/mind is cleansed. The ambient synth pads are apt and live orchestration wouldn't of delivered this feel. The whole album should've been called "நீரால் உடல் கழுவி " I played this album to my brother who isn't an ardent follower of Tamil music but I seen him humming to aanukulley and bouncing to kula deivam.

For me the clear winner is Enna pol

Raaja's album of the year so far simply because of it's diversity, where you have neeral udal kazhuvi you equally have the contrasting aanukulley and in this song's second interlude IR jumps ahead of the current generation and brings a new sound and illustrates the fire of composing inside him which is a force to be reckoned with.

[Sureshs65]

<ed>.. illustrates the fire of composing inside him which is a force not to be reckoned with.

I guess you meant 'to be reckoned with' and not 'not to be reckoned with'.

Nice observation Sunil. As you rightly said the album could be called 'neeral udal kazhuvi'. And yes, a lot of diversity in this album.

[Sunil_M88]

oops..

[baroque]

That's beautiful, V_S.

Indeed KAATTU VAZHI......is hypnotic.

improvisations of Raja, Charanams melody

The very first post on this album-song by Sunil is very nice.
It made me go to Raaga.com immediately.

Thanks, Suil, Suresh and V_S
