Hey Goodbye Nanba - Aayutha Ezhuthu

A man of science...he loves experimenting and often the inference would be nothing less than wide acceptance and appreciation,for each and every one of his experimental endeavors.There were only a handful of genres in music that he hadn't tried yet and jazz was certainly not amongst the handful.(இசையமைக்காதது கைமண்ணளவு...இசையமைத்தது உலகளவு!)

Hey Goodbye Nanba..from Aayutha Ezhuthu (Yuva) was one such wonderous,blissful experiment in jazz. As far as i am concerned,nothing cools down the mood as much as jazz.Jazz is laid back,easy,lethargic and innocent.What if jazz could do all the above as well as have a racy feel to it. That was precisely what this song had...maybe this was nu-jazz or a.r.r-jazz even! ;-).The song starts off with the gentle smoothness of velvet jazz and soon dons the guise of fast paced pop and electronic music and then back to jazz,alternating between the two. Just Breathtaking,Genius. Just as A.R. Rahman's Sound Recordist Mr.Sridhar once said in an interview..."His Music has a lot of the lows,a lot of the highs....soft sections followed by really bright sections...In a way,his music is very theartical."

A slightly less improvised purely jazz version of this track(நீ மழை,நான் இலை) was used as background score for some scenes in the movie and it too needless to say,is nothing short of a masterpiece and deserves praise.

இந்த் பாட்ட கேட்டு பாருங்க..Music மட்டும் இல்ல..lyricsம் chanceless நு தெரியவரும்..!

நீ மழை... நான் இலை...
இதற்கு மேல் உறவில்லை...
விடைகொடு போகிரேன்...
ஈரமாய் வாழ்கிறேன்....

Running out of words to express...



A.R. Rahman's music really knows no bounds.This year our beloved A.R.R is competing with Hans Zimmer and other masters of contemporary music in the Oscars.Hoping the oscar committee does justice and they do have a very very difficult job ahead of them having to choose between Zimmer's soundtrack for Inception-a masterpiece ,Trent Rozner and atticus ross's golden globe winning soundtrack for thesocialnetwork and ofcourse the soulful,inspiring soundtrack of 127hours.

Kannathil muthamittal

Some songs stay with us for their music,  some others for the vocals and some others for the lyrics.

This particular song from “Kannathil muthamittal” – “vidai kodu engal nade”   stays in my heart for the sheer emotion.The music by A.R.Rahman is haunting.Vairamuthu’s lyrics are a window to the  plight of the tamils.The song viewed with the video moves me on so many levels. Listen to the song and take a journey into the hearts of  people who dont have an identity, a place to call home. Listen to the song and feel the torment of just existing in this world as opposed to living. Listen to the song and i dare you not to be emotionally touched!

Karaukara Kaarmugil - Avial

Avial are the Malayali Alternative Rock Band from GOD's own country.Their music tingles the ear with the unique fusion of malayaali folk and alternative rock styles just as the quintessentially malayaali dish 'Avial' tantalizes our taste buds.

Song : Karaukara Kaarmugil

The song opens with a markedly rock feel and as soon as the first distinctive voice is heard,kerala folk and western rock become an inseparable mix. The sound of thunder quickly transports you to the petrichor filled,monsoon gifted backwaters,with lush palms and omnipresent greenery.The few lyrics very efficiently serve their purpose.The music is just so awesome to listen to and makes you ponder with disbelief as to whether there exists a better cocktail of typically western rock suiting local sensibilities.

Theme song of the movie - காதல்

The quote 'Saying so much by saying so little' would aptly apply to this song!

There are virtually no lyrics to this song with the exception of the word 'காதல்’ a few times and some humming voices in the background.The listener is treated to mellifluous music and that alone serves the purpose of this wonderful musical treat.The music moves me everytime i listen and i believe it would have the same effect on every single listener.

I wish to stand by the quote,but i had to write something about this song atleast for ceremony.
