Ellorukkum Vanakkam.

I propose to discuss any new song that one finds to be 'listenable'. Since most of us at HF are crazy about old songs, many wont be too familair or in touch with the new melodious numbers. I would like to invite all to use this thread to recommend any new song that one finds hummable / 'listenable'. And would also be great if one could write a few points on why he / she likes that particular new song.

Firstly, thanks to HF which gives me a platform to start such a thread. Any other regular Tamil music forum would have massacred me for asking for recommendations for new 'listenable' songs !

To begin with, let me define a 'new' song by including all songs that cannot be uplaoded at HF. Discussion on any post '87 song is welcome.

Let me start by recommending ---
Song: avaL ulagha azhagiyE
Film : Laysa Laysa (2002)
Singer : Karthik Raja
MD : Harris Jeyraj
Lyrics : Vaali
Picturised on : Shyam and Trisha

I like the continuous use of beats in the background... keeps my foot tapping throughout. Very nice use of violins all thru the song. Decent lyrics too ! Thats quite a rarity, na ? There are some pauses in the song which are well used. I always like songs where the MD uses pauses to good effect. Of course, very few songs have pauses nowadays !

Vivek

Heres another one that I'm crazy about nowadays:
Song : mazhai mazhai
Film : Ullam Ketkumae (2003) .. movie release -- 2005
Singers : Unnikrishnan & Harini
MD : Harris Jeyraj
Picturised on : Not bothered ...woeful picturisation

Unnikrishnan is one of my favorite singers ..... just crazy over his 'unique' voice. That he's an accomplished classical singer is an added bonus when he sings film songs. So u'll find lots of Unnikrishnan songs in this thread.

Violin piece after 1st antara is good The 'change' in the last line of the song sung by both Unni and Harini was a pleasant surprise. Aisi chhoti chhoti baatein bhi mushkil ho gayi hai naye gaanon mein Again good use of pauses, with no music and just the singer singing at places. Maybe a more mellow use of beats would have sufficed, but song's melody is good enough. Another good number from Harris Jeyraj

Vivek

Hi,

I'm back, this time with a romantic solo number that I 'discovered' quite recently. first heard the song in SUN TV's Saptha Swarangal program. Had been searching for it for sometime till I heard it again in the local radio station !

Song : vizhigaLin arughinil vAnam
Movie : Azhagiya Theeyae (2004)
Singer & MD: Ramesh Vinayagam

Any info on lyricist ?? One Kavivarman ?? After a pretty long time, I've liked a song for its lyrics ! The music is decent (as in no heavy beats &/or dappaangutthu stuff). The singer is quite ok, except for a distinct nasal tone, which makes the "Oho yea" part very likeable.

couldnt resist posting the lyrics...so here it goes.... and a single BIG for the whole song
*Me in thamizh pulavar mode today *

(vizhigaLin arughinil vaanam...)

PS : And I almost forgot .... I'll try my best not to include any Rahman numbers in the thread... warna to bas likhtaaaaaaaaaa hi rahoonga.....

Ok me back again to 'review' another new song. Going by the 25 views to this thread, I hope I'm not the only one visiting here.

I pick a slow romantic SPB - Janaki duet for a change.

Song : malarae mounamA
Film : Karna (1995)
Singers : SPB and S. Janaki
MD : Vidyasagar
Lyrics :
Cast : Arjun, Ranjeetha (!!??)

Karna seems to be the MDs 2nd film. Also seems to be one of Arjun's earlier Tamil films immediately after Gentleman.

The pace of the song is excellent, with nice variations in every line by both SPB and SJ. The entire song has a brilliant romantic feel to it, not too loud and very soothing (except for loud beats at some places). Again, some nice use of pauses towards the end of each stanza.

Anyone has an idea which raagam / classical composition the song is based on ?? If theres one, I'd like to hear the original krithi / krithi on same raaga.

The overall feel is quite similar to the the Rehman number malarghaLae malarghaLae from Love Birds (1996) (ofc, interlude music in the ARR one is just ).

Back to mah thread !
Have been listening to a few new Tamil songs lately .... and me fast turning into a Harris Jeyraj pankha.
This song is from his recent movie... Thotti Jaya !! The name and cast (except for Gopika) didnt inspire me to take a look at the music album (hadnt singled out Harris Jeyraj then), until I heard this song on radio.
Very very pleasant song .... esp with his fav mascot Bombay Jayshree singing in her husky shekshy voice

Song: Uyirae En Uyirae
Film: Totti Jaya (2005)
Singers: Karthik, Anuradha Sriram, Bombay Jayeshree
Music: Harris Jeyraj
Cast: Silambarasan, Gopika

Like the places where Bombay Jayshree sings... and esp the lines..
Yengaeyo Un Mugham Naan Paartha Nyaabagham
Yeppodho Unnudan Naan Vaazhndha Nyaabagham

Patience and me two parallel lines that never meet

ps: loggin on yahoo pe at 9.30 am IST .. Latz our hfer on exile will be there too.. we have a lot to conspire

Next one is from the film 12B !! (apun 8 LTD karke phillum banaayega.. roz Chembur se King's Circle !)

Havent watched the film .. though it stars both Jyothika and Simran in it Saw the picturization onylrecently and Simran looks so gorgeous in a sari First heard it a few years back (when I was discovering ARR's songs) and thought this to be a Rahman composition with Chitra and Unni Krishnan singing.

Turns out its Harris Jeyraj's second film ! Nice melodious music, nice singing..... mainly a female solo with a few male lines. Love the humming in between and during the antaras....

Song: Poovae Vaai Peisumbodhu
Film: 12B (2001)
Singers: Mahalakshmi Iyer, Harish Raghavendra
Music: Harris Jeyraj
Picturised on: Simran, Shaam

A diversion to one of the 'inspired' MDs in TFM today... Deva !
If only he didnt come up with occasional brilliances, I wouldnt have bothered listening to him !

This is quite an 'old' song from the late 90's. Havent seen the picturisation or recognise the cast, but very nice song and apt lyrics.... well one needs to be a forlorn lover to appreciate it

Hariharan as always does a good job, music is decent and the female humming is nice too.

Song: Oru Mani Aditthaal
Film: Kaalamellaam Kaadhal Vaazhgha (1997)
Singer: Hariharan
Music: Deva

The mukhda goes like this:
Oru Mani Aditthaal Kannae Un Nyaabagham
Telephone Kuyilae Veindum Un Dharsanam
Podhum Kannae Nee Nadatthum Naadaghamae
Thoongumbodhum Thoongavillai Un Nyaabaghamae
Paadinaal Andha Paadalin Swaram Nee Adiyo
Theidinaal Vizhi Eeram Aavadhu Yaenadiyo

Btw Vivz guess what Latz says the Aparchita song (Iyengar veetu azhage ka hindi version) sounds good it seems

Film: Jillinu Oru Kaadhal
Cast: Surya, Jyothika, Bhumika Chawla
(Probably Jyothika's last film for sometime )
Year: 2006
Music: A R Rahman
Lyrics: Vaali

Song: New York Nagaram.....
Rahman comes up with excellent vocals after sometime in Tamil !!! And whatta song !!
A lover desperately missing his beloved on a cold wintery New York night .......

New York nagaram uRangum neiram, thanimai aDarndhadhu.. paniyum paDarndhadhu..
kappal eRangiyae kaatrum karaiyil naDandhadhu..
When NewYork city went to sleep, loneliness came near.... and the snow spread wide...
(It was so lonely that) Even the wind alighted from the sails (of the ship) and started walking on shores...

naangu kannaaDi chuvargaLukkuLLae naanum mezhughuvatthiyum..

How lonely… how torturous…..

You aren't here to blow into my eyes when dirt falls into them
You aren't here to clear the confusions that arise in my heart

Resuscitating the thread, I shall upload some new Tamil songs from time to time that have managed to catch my attention and taste. Would also include links to raaga or musicindiaonline for your online listening pleasure so that the non-Tamil folks (like Lata ) can first listen to them before downloading.

Mostly Rehman numbers (1990s) closely followed by Harris Jeyraj (post-2000).

Before going any further, let me upload a couple of songs that I have indicated in my earlier posts in this thread.
1. Malarae Mounamaa -- A soulful slow romantic duet by SPB and SJ (Post #4)

More Rahman numbers coming up from the early 90s.....

Thanks Vivz Rombo rombo nandri da.

Nimii !!! .... I thought u already had these songs with you !
Anyways, kisiine to gaana download kiya !

A song from Gentleman coming up........... "soon"

Illay da in fact I havent heard them too

Gentleman song yes yes I have the cassette .. Otagattai kattiko

Sorry for the detour!

I thought I'd rather trace Rehman's career chronologically from Wikipedia.... so the Gentleman's gotta wait!

Rahman of course entered the Tamil and Hindi (and a slew of other regional languages') scene with Roja in 1993. This also fostered a musical partnership of Mani Ratnam - Rahman - Vairamuthu that has been immensely successful, both commercially and musically, to date...

Its hard to pick one single track from Roja ... and its just too easily available to be uploaded here!

The next film is Ashokan which I unfortunately dont find any trace of either at MIO or at Raaga !

His next Tamil film was Uzhavan starring Prabhu and Bhanu Priya. You can listen to the songs here at MIO: Uzhavan
I shall upload the first song: Raakkozhi Rendu from the film sometime later.

Next film was Thiruda Thiruda (Hindi: Chor Chor) which personally I didnt find to be very musically appealing. In fact, for a long time I regarded Roja to be his best commercial score and thought he would never match up to it (including his films with Shankar). But then, other Mani Ratnam films happened! Besides, it wasnt until early 2000's that I discovered some Rehman gems hidden is less successful commercial movies

Moving on, next was Pudhiya Mugham (1993), which I'll upload one song at Lakshmi-ji's Tamil thread (being a Tandem tune !).

Finally, Gentleman ! ARR's first film with director Shankar. Remade in Hindi as Gentleman, almost all the tunes were re-used. Chikku Bukku Raile became the anthem of the nation and disco clubs, never mind that the lyrics hardly made any sense even to Tamilians !

Rahman has always managed to include at least one classical based song in all his films... albeit most were rehashed versions of traditional krithis or bhajans. Nevertheless, in the cacophony that was in the post-Ilaiyaraja Tamil music scene, even rehashed carnatic tunes were melodious. And when top calibre singers like Hariharan, SPB and Unnikrishnan lent voice to these compositions, it was a breath of fresh air

A sample from Gentleman ..... Enn Veettu Thottatthil. Based on the traditional aarti bhajan -- by Arunagirinaathar Thiruppugazh -- in Senjurutti Raagam -- Naadha Vindhu Kalaadhi Namo Nama, it was a direct lift !! Nevertheless, to the disgust of my dad (a carnatic purist ), I just loved the adaptation, especially with SPB's voice in it !

Film: Gentleman (1993)
Song: Enn veettu thOttatthil (Linked to Raaga)
Singers: SPB, Sujatha
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Duration: 4:05

Other songs from Gentleman (and their Hindi counterparts):
Usilampatti Penkutty -- (Aashiqui Mein Hadd Se)
Chikku Bukku Raile -- (which remake / inspiration ?? )
Ottagatthai Kattikko -- (Roop Suhaana Lagta Hai)
Paarkaathe Paarkaathe -- ??

Soon, Rehman was to realise that the only way of preventing Bollywood from lifting his tunes left, right and centre was to release the Hindi dubbed version simultaneously (as in many cases, the music was more popular than the films themselves!).

Vivz thanks da for the tracing ARR's early part of his career. I am unable to place the movie Ashokan. Yenda varusham da anda padam?


Chikku Bukku Raile - it was copied in one of the Govinda's movie right?

Male version of Kannukku Mai Azhaghu has been uploaded here.

Chikku Bukku Raile was copied into the title song of Raaja Babu... Bak Chik Bak Raaja Baabuuuuuuuu
Ashokan is also 1993 apparently, according to my earlier wikipedia source

Another number in Pudhiya Mugham worth mention is: (violin pieces are just too good )
Song: Netru Illaadha Maatram (first song at Raaga ... Idhu thaan kaadhal)
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Singer: Sujaatha
Hindi Version: Kal Nahiin Tha Woh Kya Hai from Vishwa Vidhaata (1997)

Shall upload it in the near future. Meanwhile here are the lyrics:

I like all the songs of Pudhiya Mugam. If you dont have July maatham vandaal .. let me know

Have July maadham too ..though long way away from July So no Jodi seirum vayasu either

But I thought its a more common fare from ARR..... doesnt have much of a Rehman stamp on it.... The other two numbers definitely outscore this one ... my opinion wunly

PS: With the Chinese New Year coming up, did u know this is the year of the ...ahem.. Porky
Oink ! Oink !

When is the chinakaaran pudhu varusham da? Porky ? aha! Marunduten naan

Yep that is true about July Maatham song

Nimii:
Since only the two of us seem to be the wandering souls in this part of the forum, could you pls upload "Neitru Illaadha Maatram" from Pudhiya Mugham in good quality.

My file is a 56 kbps version probably recorded off Raaga or MIO! Couldnt find the file at CG / CT either

Next.... a popular, rather time-pass number from Vaandi Solai Chinnarasu (1994) coming up! Starring Sathyaraj and Sukanya, the film seemingly sank without a trace. The music isnt great either... except that I happen to like this number

Vivek,

U r not giving the meaning .... ...now how will a NON Tamilian like me understand what these songs me ...... and u better not laff at me .... agar galti se gaana gaa diya to..... w/o knowing the meaning

Vivz ye kaun hai bhala idar non TAMILIAN guss ke aayi hai Anyone I know re

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sure will upload the song ONLY for you ok!

Vivz I have both male/female versions. The Female is the fast one and the male version is slow re

Agar bina meaning jaane gaana gaa diya to ismein galti kya !! Kaash mujhe kuchh gaanon ke meanings pata na hota..to main khule-aam aise gaane gaa deta
I have a few recommendations of songs for you to sing..... since u dont / wont know their meanings... u might as well sing them
And whoever said Music has no language obviously didnt take u into consideration !
