HI.... :)
It feels great when all your exams are over and you are almost free now !!! Lots of leisure time. Was thinking about updating my blog long back but the right topic didnt click at all.Actually this time I thought of writing a non-music topic..! Hmm, that failed though cuz again I am upto something related to music only.. Again, listing some of my favourite songs(of some different genre,OBV) with my own set of explanations.. :)
But the difference in this topic is that these are set of Non-Rahmanatic songs.. Very nice melodies..All beautiful numbers.. Vidyasagar's Creations..!
Well, I am very selective in this list.. Its my top-ten !!! And these songs are numbered..ranked.. according to my priority :D
Here I go.........................................READ ON !
1.Malare Mounama (KARNA)
Vidyasagar may compose many songs...Many thousands of songs may come..But believe me...,this song will anyways top my list..He cannot compose another Malare,I reckon !!!Whata song..! SPB n S.JANAKI..
This song..Well, I dislike the female-lead's singing in this particular song !But SPB sir is more than suffice to make this song extremely adorable..
malare, mounama ? mouname vedhama ...
Just four words, and SPB sir modulates each and every time he sings these verses.NO ONE COULD HAVE RENDERED IT SO WELL. The 'pallavi' and two 'charanams' everything is the best. And the music... the beginning with the flute.. What more u can ask for...? And in the charanam, the vocals is always supported by some instrument or the other..
kaaAatrai pola vandu kangal melllla thiranden ...
yeeEEeeno manam thalladutheyy ....
These are all SPB sir's area .. And none but him could have given it so well .. Great song..!
2.Orey Manam (VILLAN)
Again, this is another best song of Vidyasagar..HARIHARAN n CHANDANA BALA .. I like this song big time..n even now..! very very mellifluous. And both the lead singers have given their best. The 'pallavi' and 'charanam' are bit smooth and the interludes will be bit faster. This kinda crescendo suits this song well..The composition reminds me of Malargale though [How can I be w/o mentioning Rahman Sir :)]. The tune is too good.
maalai nera nizhalaippolae... saelai nizhalil odungida vanden...
and this line will have a flute back up..That'll just add to the beauty of the song. How well Hariji pronounces "idhe KKSHANAMM" .. thats typical Hariji.. But he gets to sing that part only once in the song... orey kshanam !! :)
3.Anbae Anbae Nee En (UYIRODU UYIRAGA)
Again, a very melodious song from Vidyasagar. HARIHARAN and CHITRA ..And there the maker has two great people singing his melody, then obviously this song has to be one of the best. And it is ! Interlude1(flute) and Interlude2(where Hariji's and Chitraji's voices overlap) are the best parts of this song..Everytime they sing,
bhoomiyil naam vaazhum kaalam dhoorum,unmaiyil enjeevan unnai thedum
Its so good.. their voices, the music, the tune.. everything gets glued like anything..
kanne unkaivalai meetum sanngeethangal.... What a rendition...!
And Chitraji's charanam 2 stands out... These melodies are special aspects of Vidyasagar's music..!
4.Azhaguril Poothavale (THIRUMALAI)
SPB n SUJATHA .. A very simple song.. I guess.. Yet, these two singers make it stupendous. The beginning flute and the interlude1 flute...TOO GOOD.Hey, who is Vidyasagar's flautist ? :P
Sujatha's beginning will be awesome...
hmmm...mm.. nee uduthipota udai........... That beginning along with that hum :) AWESOME
And that,
kurilaga naan irukka nedilaga nee valarkka chennai thamizh sangathamizh aanadadi
ariyamal naan irukka azhagaga nee thirakka kadhal mazhai aayul varai thoorumada...
Simple yet much adorable lyrics... And the end pallavi...
hmmm..mmm ennai adiodu saaithavale...
Thats the best way to sing the end pallavi for this song..
5.Kanden Kanden (MADHUREY)
Again, the beginning with the flute.. And thats enough..One can guess that its gonna be one great song. SADHANA SARGAM n MADHU BALAKRISHNAN. What an amazing singer Madhubalakrishnan is !!! Sadhanaji's hum in the interlude 1 is adorable. The charanam's tune and all of Madhu's part stands out. And after CH1, they wont sing "kanden kanden" , they just hum..! Aaaha.... hmmmm... SUPERB !!!
And that "thee meeta.....thaaal poota.......por meeta" parts are just so good. Fantastic song !
6.Sollitharava (MAJAA)
Same pair here. MADHUBALAKRISHNAN n SADHANA SARGAM .. The "lalala ...lalala.." of interlude1 and the interlude2 music are the bestest parts...! And all their sangadhis in the charanam..
theeeyil koooooddda theennn iruuukkkuuummm
AlllitharavvaaaaAA
Both of them are just too good. Very subtle, very precise... and very very nice :)
7.Panikatre (RUN)
Again, a FLUTE beginning followed by the female lead's humming. SADHANA SARGAM n BALRAM.. This is an un-released song of the movie.How can a person neglect such an awesome song in a movie ? Thatz bad !
The charanam and the tune is just too good.
naan thedum hmmmm mugamaanai...
words followed by hums ! Thats suffice ! U just dont need more. The backup during the pallavi after charanam1 resembles the one in malare mounama.. Superb song.. And ya, lyrics.. again , simple yet adorable..!
8.Sudum Nilavu (THAMBI)
The one of the best ever duet pair has sung this song. UNNIKRISHNAN n HARINI.. Two things are enough to say that this song is the best. Listen to this song for the first 15 seconds..! If that isn't enough, then listen to the interlude1. What an amazing song it is ! The interlude 1..What a raaga.. Both Harini and UnniKrishnan are superb in this song..!Well, u dont need more to say that this song is the best !
9.Kalaiarumbi (KANA KANDEN)
First 13 seconds of this song...A SHLOKAM like beginning.. SRINIVAS , who has enjoyed each and every bit of this song and sang it..!And KALYANI's effort deserves an applause :)
That ,
vaimattum pesadhu, udambellam pesum... Everytime they sing these lines.... amazing...
One will not require more reasons to like this song..! By the way, hey, Is love a disease ?? Thats what this song says !!! :P
10.Poovasam Purappadum (ANBAE SHIVAM)
SRIRAM PARTHASARATHY n SADHANA SARGAM .. Again, a great great song from Vidyasagar..! Here, the parts..where the charanam ends and the pallavi begins.. the sangadhis in that particular part.... Whoaaaa !!!!!
Both the male and female parts are equally good.. I cant not mention about Sadhanaji's tamil.
Its too good in this song...! :)
Well, thats it..My top-ten is done !!But actually, it wont be fair if I stop here and not mention about many of Vidyasagar's other awesome creations..!I just cant restrict myself to just 10 songs.. So I'll go for.....sayyyy..........another 10 ? :P
Just mentions !!! No explanations here..!
11.Malaikatru Vandu (VEDHAM) Hariharan and Mahalakshmi
12.Kavidai Iravu (SULLAN) Karthik and Chitra
13.Unsamayalaraiyil (DHILL) UnniKrishnan and Sujatha
14.Ding Dong Koyilmani (JI) MadhuBalakrishnan and Madhushree
15.Raa Raa (CHANDRAMUKHI) Binny Krishnakumar and Tippu [Its a telugu song in a tamil film...But, what an amazing song it is..!]
And these are some of my favourite solos in Vidyasagar's music..All superb ones...
16.Katrin Mozhi (MOZHI) Sujatha
17.Adi Thozhi (THENDRAL) Kalyani
18.Yei Penne (THENDRAL) Shreya Ghoshal [No more reasons needed for me to like this song :)]
19.Aalanguyil (PARTHIBAN KANAVU) Harini
The twentieth song here needs an explanation.. This is an all time best song but unfortunately didnt get anything that it deserved..Not many people know that this song exists.. :( And thatss...
20.Engae Engae En Vennilavu (CHADURANGAM)
This movie didnt release at all.. The songs went unnoticed. This song deserves special attention !So unfortunate..!! Sung by ........KARTHIK !!! :) Well, not just because this song is sung by Karthi that its special..This is one of the best solo songs in Vidyasagar's music. A very very melodious song it is.. And Karthi has made this song as the best ..! His singing, his diction, his feel and what not....!!! I would give full marks for each and every part of this song and charanam 2 deserved more than full ! These lines........
azhagana poomugam... aganadhu kaadhali...
aaadayaadhhaa KAARTHIIIIIgaii..... thats it...!!!!
Did I miss my heart beats even now ??? :P
Awesome song...........!
These are all time best songs of Vidyasagar...!
More to come .........
Cheers..!
