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

[Sunil_M88]

What Raja can do in a couple of minutes [composing tunes and writing scores] might take ARR weeks or more. So no comparisons there.

Let us take credits at the face value.

Since when did writing music become a race I'm still not 100% about the face value notion. What seems so simple at first, ends up being so complex that unearthing becomes endless. However, are we here to enjoy or unearth? Both Raaja Saab and Rahman Ji always have enough scope in their material that enjoying and unearthing are equally satisfying. The bottom line is that, a Gold status of a song is achieved by the layers of a composition and IMO this sometimes contributes more importantly than the mainstay melody. Melody is "anything" and layering is "everything"!

Knowing the sad person I am, I had to go look up in the dictionary

Anything

any thing whatever : any such thing

Everything

all that exists; all that relates to the subject

Many songs have overlapping melodies e.g. raagams but it is the ambiance and additional instrumentation that gives a song its true UNIQUENESS

Sorry for getting carried away
