The "spiritual"/"religous"/orvwhatever similar IR stuff.

I was watching 'Idhayam thotta Isaignani' on Vijay TV. Rajkiran was sharing his memories of En Raasaavin Manasile and Aranmanai KiLi. Looks like Raja composed all his films songs in just 30 minutes. He tells that he used to present 'dolls' before him and Raja used to create life in it using his BGM.

He explains a scene where he was driven by his sister-in-law and he walks off throwing his stick away. Camera man and director wants to cut off there itself, instead Rajkiran walks for a longer time as he wanted that shot to prolong till he was satisfied. He already assumed that Raja will play SOlai PasungkiLiyE in flute to bring out the weakness in him as his wife passed away. A man who was strong before became empty when he lost her. When he went with this scene to Raja, Raja exactly played the same tune in flute.

Rajkiran explains about how 'En Thaayenum kOyila kaakka maranthitta paaviyadi kiLiyE' song was born. Those who say Raja needs to be inspired by the situation/story need to hear this. This one clearly says he is not a director's music director. Rajkiran says he didn't have any story for Aranmanai KiLi, just he went to Raja and ask him to compose 7 super hit songs. Based on that he would build a story. It seems Raja himself gave a story line and composed all these 7 songs in 30 minutes. When he started singing this song, Sundarrajan and him were in tears.

Just like there is a source for water/waterfall, he is the source of music. Wherever you touch him, music will flow. The reason I am saying this is because mother is the source of creation. We all are born from mother's womb. Without source there is no destination. Without mother we are not here. Without her there is no path to glory or spirituality. That's why whenever we talk of Raja we often talk about mother. Whenever we talk of mother, we often talk about Raja. He is gifted with purest music. In that sense, all his mother songs are most spiritual in nature.

That's why he says these lines:

Deivamathu thaaikku keezhathaan, en thaayavalum saamikku mElathaan in pEtha manasu suthathilum suthamadaa from Enna petha Raasa. Whenever Raja sings these lines I cannot go beyond that line.

kettuppOna thaayee engum illavE illai in ponna pOla Aatha from Ennai vittu pOgaathE. The way he tuned this line and finishes with 'aathaa....'. Hear how he sings these lines. No singer can bring life the way Raja brings. It can only come from a purest musician Ilaiyaraaja. No awards can get you this line. A real composer of all times.

This is also one of the reasons I like Ramarajan and Rajkiran films. Mostly Raja would have sung for them and it is so effective. This is just a drop in a ocean of his mother songs which can definitely lead us to spirituality.
