Prejudiced
Prejudices maketh a man. While i was searching like a mad man of all the lost treasures here is a song Nee thane En than Pn Vasanthan-Ninaivellam Nithya which was right there under my nose which was one of my most hummed songs but never acknowledged its greatness except for a raja gem(that itself is quite a praise though). I was looking to learn the lyrics of song a bit and there it was eating up my mind. Set in Madhyamavathi raaga which i think IR has toyed with it a lot. It is a bubbly raaga. So filled with musical enthusiasm that always leaves my looking for a word to describe the feeling. Something like a great dance number that your legs automatically respond to but you are born in a word where noone has legs and you dont know what is dancing(yup...i watched Guru recently....IR rocks there man)...Another great number is Kuyile Kuyile from Aan Pavam...The pace of the song is beyond perfection....The beats..while being a semi clasical that it is, this song is just short of being an all out racy number at the same time giving enough to time to exhibit the classicalism. A great mix of moods in the interludes....a western & a semi classical sandwich? And how it is invisible to the undiscerning eye...If you cant see...im getting a little mad over here...And the most repeated thing ever...The Bass rules...Though not on a complete parallel alapanai as in say Rasave Unnai Vidamaten from Aranmanai Kili...It does a bit(a little bit) of an underplay as far as a separate track is concerned, giving a general dharr effect on the beat timing,a counterpoint in most places,(those places dont require anything else) but giving a perfect disco rhthm in most places....Being a gamakam rich raaga(that is how raja makes me see it...where have i heard a non-IR madhyamavati?), (how can anyone forget the right to into heavens Thulli Thulli alapanai set in the same raaga?), SPB gives full suport in singing department. The phrase "santhosam unnodu kai veesum ennalum"..What a beauty SPB adds to it...He rocks....And finally what a great lyrics...This makes a song great pleasure to sing getting a great satisfaction of pronouncing some pure sweet lyrics...Soon i might be writing about Azhaga Mada pura from Ellame En rasa than....Slow death in the same raaga....
To sum up, what can i sum up...starting listening people....Its bliss time
