Yeah Kiru - one of my favourites. sidhdhar paadalgaLilErundhu apdiyE saarathai uruvi koduththA mAdhiri...
Must be atleast 19 years since I last listened to Appanendrum Ammaiendrum- but the lyrics stay in memory.

You can listen to echoes of this in IR's "mint streetla ukkArndhu jabam paNdrA mAdhiri" quote.
This is why I get angry when people try to dub IR's speeches as pidhaRRals. He is going deep into our siddhar philosophy and giving you the saaram, and you can see this by connecting the various levels at which he has spoken, and written about it. PuriyalainA gammunnu irukkaNum. adhai vittuttu vAzhkkaina ennannE theriyAdha siNdu siRAr ellAM "IR mike koduththA uLaruvAr"-nu solRadhu evLO agambAvamAna seyal?

Apart from the philosophical musings, look how each word sonorusly sit in the tune and sandhams. This is what I miss in post-IR music.

Not sure if you know, Raaja's lyrics. And in fact that naan kadavuL song was derived off of his Ramanamaalai album. But don't know what his *inspiration* is if any. Here is the original with slightly different orch.

Again. +1. adhu lyricsA, thAnana sandhamAnnE pirichu pArkka mudiyAdha aLavukku poruttham.
MSV or ARR - indha vishayathula, they are at a disadvantage w.r.t tamizh songs - Raja is a tamizh scholar(grammar, literature, tamizh poetry grammar ellAthulayum) which makes him unmatched in this aspect

Plum, Super. I want to listen to it now. To be honest, I don't remember the lyrics, but great to see you got to the roots.

Re: Manadhil oru paattu - Song of the moment - Vol 1
Yes, Nerd, the original just nails it
This song (Bitchai Pathiram) also helped me evaluate Baradwaj Rangan as a film music critic.
Basically, he was going gaga about Madhu B's singing as perfect and evokes a lovely pleasnatness, and I remember asking him if his singing(pleasant, easy on the ears, light) was NOT really good enough in terms of the emotion expressed. He blabbered something like "sowkkyam" is also a valid sangeetha concept.
adhu sari dhAn - but how is sowkkyam a valid emotion in the context of *these lyrics*. IR pAdinA mAdhiri oru urukkam oru surrender vONAvA?
Problem is *sowkkyam* is a quality ppl look for in *all* songs. It is a surprise that the older days MDs and IR kept the people able to receive non-sowkkyam songs for non-sowkkyam situations.
These days, *sowkkyam* has to be there for a song to become hit - hence the career of Harris Jayaraj and Anjalai songs for a heart shattering situation. I'd infact add the Bombay climax theme - one of Rahman's most appreciated insturmentals. enakku andha Theme oru mana idham kodukkum - whereas the intended emotion is angst at the religious clashes and the resultant violence.
One of the reasons Bala said Rahman will not suit him is that Rahman tends to coat a sowkkkyam to even his soga songs and mind-fucking sequences. The same Bala has gone to Rahman-lite GVP and listening to Paradesi, I am inclined to ask Bala: "dei RahmanE vENAmnu sonniyE, adhula oru nyAym irundhadhu, AnAl adhE stylela irukkum GVP kittta pOyirukkayE; and he has given you exactly the kind of sowkkyam songs Rahman would, except that these are inferior version of Rahman. How does that tally?"

SS - sorry I admit I didnt come across correct. Yeah, it is insult to Rahman to call GVP as Rahman-lite. I wanted to imply GVP is nothing but Rahman wannabe-but-fail, but came across wrongly. Apologies!

BTW, Caught GVP in a FM interview today morning on the Car.
GVP and RJ indulged in some WTF banter and GVP gave some crap about positive vibrations etc and the RJ summarised it thus:
FM RJ: Today we have GVP who has talked as a musician, a singer and a philosopher
BTW next year keerovA nadikkaRAplayam GVP. SandhOsham. apdiyE maindain paNNunga saar

Guna, the blessed!!!

There are times when the syrupy emotion that S Janaki whips up is haunting and inescapable. It keeps playing over and over again in your mind, and you feel a certain yearning and despair, no idea for what, running through your mind. This song exploits this quality of Janaki's voice to the T.
The emotion of the song is "En dhAn piRandhAyO, ingE vaLarndhAyO". Basically, Rekha is asking what's the point of all this, this purity of heart and the child like innocence of Gunasekaran, left to rot here in this place to what avail?
Even without the lyrics, can you feel it in the tune, voice and the orchestration? You do? Well, that's my Raja.
Gunasekar is a classic case of "DAsi kulathu magan", the most unwanted, unwelcome entry among them, and in stark contrast to the generally rejoicing and hailing the birth of a "magan" in our patriarchal society . Also in contrary to this, being the arrival of a girl child
as a major cause of celebration in a "DAsi" household for obvious reasons. Remember Padmini in ThillAnA MohanAmbaL ?
For Guna, his "altered" state of his unusual mind or brutally put, his "sick" mind , whether by choice or destiny and the actions ensuing that
is his redemption, sole ticket, to freedom from the lowly rut, to realizing his life's goal even if it means to take that giant leap to
death with his beloved. Atleast this way, he could get to to spend few precious days with AbirAmi . Even in death,
it was with a certainity of uniting with his AbirAmai. A normal, "healthy" Guna would have perhaps been
reduced to doing the ignominious activity of pimping for his own mother and sisters if there were any.
So blessed is Gunasekhar.

Sontham vanthathu vanthathu from Pudhu Paattu. What a beauty. Chitra at her sweetest, that aside, see what Raaja has done in the ludes. Words fail me to explain both the interludes. Be it the flute literally toying with the violins (synth?) in the 1st lude or the duet between the lead guitar and the bass guitar or the flute vs bass guitar in the 2nd interlude - this song is of supreme quality. The strings that lead to the 2nd charanam, I think the same appears on some other song. It reminded me of the paattu paadavaa album, quickly scanned through the entire album but I was wrong. Any help?

Enna neenga, you mention MSV and ARR in the same breath ? I am certain MSV knows tamil way way better ARR (having worked with great poets) and that too with respect to sandham. I think most of the time music comes to ARR naturally whereas MSV or IR will improve upon their natural instincts with rigorous learning/training/composing from first principles. I am sure ARR also does, but just wanted to contrast the work style .Maybe, you can call it experimental vs theorertical, to be politically correct :-)

Ya, MSV understanding of sandham and lyrics probably unmatched.

Senthil/Kiru- ofcourse MSV is a class apart from ARR when it comes to lyrics and sandham. Meanwhile, note that Rahman fans are claiming - based on Agi Akilan's assertion - that no one has integrated music, lyrics and sandham like Rahman has ![lol!](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/lol.gif)
Ignorance and false propogandakku oru aLavE illaiyA?
I used to think Rahman gets appreciated for exactly what he is - but looks like he is also saddled with fans who have no idea of what he is but appreciate him for political reasons(VM-ku vaazhvu koduththar ivaru namma deivampA, Rajavai commercialA azhichAr ivaru namma deivampA).
Having said that, without Kannadasan, it is hard to imagine MSV having such perfect compositions-vs-lyrics marriage. The thing with IR is he has educated himself on Tamil poetry, literature and grammar. MSV's is more of kELvi gnAnam with Kannadasan, Vaali.
