Ilayanila Pozhihirathe

Finally, I could record a song after 2 weeks of very bad time with a cold and throat infection.I had planned to record this beautiful, energetic song of Raja Sir and SPB Sir just after my last song but I could do it only yesterday. I should say, it is a strong thrust of inspiration from the wonderful singer Shri.Ajay Warrier, that made me record this song inspite of my illness (now I am perfectly alright I think ;-)). I happened to listen to this song in Ajay's voice on last Sunday, when there was a concert of him with his cousins Shri.Jaideep and Mridula,Amritha TV SuperStars, in Bangalore, and I couldn't wait anymore to do my next song. It came out as a great inspiration for me, Thanks a billion to Shri.Jaideep for inviting me for the show. All the three were in a constructive competition among each other to make the show a massive success. Starting with a mindblowing Ganapathy Sthuthi in Hamsadhwani Ragam and "Shankara" from "Shankarabharanam" in Ajay's voice, through Jaideep's "Sangeethame Amarasallapame","Kainiraye Vennatharam", Mridula's "Konjum Nilavu", "Unarunaru", and kannada duet with Ajay etc,evergreen hits like "Pramadavanam", "Thenum Vayampum" etc, duets like "Kolakkuzhal vili", "Vaaji" from Shivaji, "Aajkal there mere pyar" of Jaideep and Mridula and Dappankuthu songs ;-) like "Randakka" from "Anniyan", and reaching the end of that wonderful feast with "Kuttanadan Kayalile" from Ajay and Jaideep (only a few among the list of songs). It was a splendid experience for each single person in that audience, for sure.About this song and the creators of this song, I think there is no need of mentioning, as this is a super hit from the Trio Vairamuthu-Ilayaraja-SPB. The lyrics is the main attraction of this song, in my view.Ofcourse Music is the life giving factor of a song, still. "Mugavarikal thavariyadhal azhuthidumo athu mazhayo", who can create such lyrics other than Vairamuthu!!! When the lyrics got moulded with Raja Sir's music and heard through the voice of SPB Sir, one can't just stop listening to it again and again. I don't know whether I could do a bare minimum justice to those Legends, the judgement is from my listeners.Please hear my version of this song and correct me.
Thanks a lot to Shri.Krishna Prasad who has given me an honest feedback on the previous file and made me re-record the song.

Neelagiriyude Sakhikale...

When Balaji Sir, my orkut friend asked me to try this song, I was wondering how come I didn't sing this song yet!!! This was one of my favourite songs in my school days. I might have sung this song a thousand times in my bathroom ;-).So when I tried to sing this song, from setting up the devices till I completed mixing, it took hardly an hour. This is the first song in my blog which I have sung in a single shot, and which I had to sing only once. :-). This most beautiful song from the film "Pani theeratha veedu" is done in the most beautiful and romantic Ragam "Mohanam".The lyrics for this song came from the pen of Kerala's own poet Late Shri.Vayalar Rama Varma, and when it was moulded with the music of M S Viswanathan sir and heard through the Kerala's one and only "Bhava Gayakan" P Jayachandran Sir, an evergreen hit in Malayalam film music took birth.
Thanks a lot Balaji Sir, for reminding me about this beautiful song. Thanks a lot to my friends who have tried to get me the original version of the song which at last my Father got it for me from one of His friends :-).
Please listen to my version of Neelagiriyude Sakhikale, and correct me. :-)

Pramadavanam Veendum - Raveendran Magic Again...

First of all, my sincere apologies to Late.Shri Raveendran Mashu for disturbing his song. I am taking an opportunity to sing this beautiful song from the super hit movie His Highness Abdulla. This is my third Raveendran Hit in my blog, others being "Chandana Manivathil" and "Aalilathaliyumayi".
Raveendran Mashu doesn't need an introduction for the Malayalam Film Song lovers.After Devarajan Master there is no Musician who has contributed this much splendid songs to Malayalam film industry other than Raveendran Master. He was the only Music Director who has used the wide range of Yesudas Sir's voice from Mandrasthayi to Tharasthayi. The Trio Kaithapram - Raveendran - Yesudas has made the songs in His Highness Abdulla, a massive hit. In each and every song of Mashu, you can feel His signature, beginning from "Tharake" from Choola till "Vadakkumnadhan", His last movie. I am so blessed to try this song.
This is a very tough song to sing, and I was longing to get the karaoke of the song. When I got one, I had to make some forging to make it better. The recording quality is not so good as compared to my previous posts; sorry for that. Please correct my mistakes after hearing the song.

Uyirin Uyire

This time, I am presenting a very energetic Tamil song "Uyirin Uyire" from the film "Kaakha Kaakha". This film was a massive hit in the South Indian film world. The song was also a super hit, with superb rendition of Kay Kay. The lyrics was given by Thamarai. You can feel the pain in the lyrics, with the splendid music of Harris Jayaraj. I would like to Thank my friend Mathew Diaz for helping me in understanding the meaning of this song.
I have tried to show justice to the original rendition, it won't reach anywhere in front of the original rendition though. Please hear this and correct me.

Ninnindale

This time, I am taking the opportunity to sing a very beautiful Kannada song, "Ninnindale" from the film Milana. The film Milana was a huge hit in Karnataka. The performance of Puneet Rajkumar in the film was highly appreciated and when combined with the support of Parvathy and Pooja Ganthi, Prakash, the Director of the film could give a feast for the folks.Milana is the first film that Puneet Rajkumar launched after Dr. Rajkumar's death on April 12th, 2006. Major portions of the film have been shot in outdoor spots of Bangalore and a village mansion near Hebbal.
Team trio of Mano Murthy - Jayanth Kaikini and Sonu Nigam has given birth to this song. Mano Murthy's songs are very beautiful. I can say that I started listening to Kannada songs just because of His music. All his songs, whether from Mungaru Male, Cheluvina Chithara, Amruthavarshini, Ee Bandhana, will have a melody factor in that. I love this song very much, and I was hesitant to sing this song. I tried 3 times, but i was not happy with the way I rendered the song. I think this one has come some what good, it won't come any where near the original song though.
I would like to thank my colleagues Swarna and Aswin for spending time with me and helping me understand the meaning of the song, and for correcting my mistakes.
I have tried to show justice to this beautiful song, please hear this and correct me.
If you are getting the "Voice of Bangalore" anywhere in the background, please ignore it, "Swalpa Adjust Maadi" ;-). My sincere apologies to my Kannadiga friends for any pronounciation mistakes.
