Videos of IR classics on the web

[app_engine]

Let's pick some videos available on the web of some evergreen classics of IR and discuss.

To start with, here's 'poovizhi vAsalil yAradi vandhadhu kiLiyE, kiLiye' from Deepam. (Sung by KJY/SJ)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BePtCZrCOLg&feature=related

I remember reading in the classic TFMpage of a DF'er's post claiming "only songs of pre-IR have longevity and IR could not produce one song such as...(a list of songs)'. And unfortunately for him he listed this song in his list and I remember ridiculing him that even one of his samples is IR's:-)

What an energy and excellent singing - fortunately, despite Vijayakumar's attempts to kill it on visuals, Sujatha saves it. (And Sujatha is IR's first heroine, i.e. the annakkiLi:-) ) Any time I watch a movie featuring her, I have this feeling that she is not a typical "cinema" actress - feels like someone who lives in your street / colony - Someone who does not belong in this field - EdhO thavaRudhalA vandhutta mAdhiri thONum...

Was interested on comments for this song :)

[app_engine]

rs, those comments under the youtube video are really interesting to read:-)

And someone was talking in another thread that it wasn't a good climax! After 2 decades, people are still talking about it (though this wasn't as big a success in Hindi like in Thamizh).

poongAtRu pudhidhAnadhu didn't have the 'kazhudhai' scene:-) I think BM took away the 'bharatha nAtyam' scene in Thamizh and replaced with 'kazhudhai':-))

urakalai godavari - beautiful telugu song.

[Sureshs65]

Usha,

Superb selections both. Excellent bass guitar, as you say. I somehow feel that an already inspired Illayaraja gets even more inspired when he goes to Mallu land.

S.Suresh

[tvsankar]

Surehs
Mallu land IR
Yes. Something HE IS SPECIAL in Mallu Land.

urakalai godavari - beautiful telugu song.

great disxcovery! thanks

[Sureshs65]

Lovely songs again Usha. Whenever someone says that Raja is not a force now, I direct them to 'Kaiyeta'. Amazing song. 'Thazvaram' is another song that I listen to regularly.

S.Suresh

[tvsankar]

natha1729,
Discovery - Beautiful word.

Nowadays, my time is going on - searching his songs in
the net.

"This birth is not Enough for me to hear his songs
till now"

Innum niriaya upcoming movies iruku........

Really it is amazing me.......

[tvsankar]

Sureshs65

Kaiyeta - is a great no.

When our Heart and Mind start to listen
his songs,

Our Soul Realizes His sounds completely.

At the point we have a feelings of a completion

Till date i did not get the feelings completely at any of
His songs.......

always my soul told me - you left something.
Pl hear the song onemore time pl.......

when my heart start to hear, mind goes
with the instruments and ragams.

when the mind starts to listen the song,
my heart starts to search something.

But i felt its a BEAUTIFUL FEELINGS ...........

[natha1729]

Couple of my favs... I dont understand telugu.. but this man's music needs none...

[tvsankar]

sloshed,
Thanks for the Rare Songs.

Second song inspired me a lot.

Haunting tune...

"karugi poyanu karpoora veenalaa"

PS voice - Very Nice....

Suhasini - Cute..... :lol:

[rajasaranam]

Usha,

Among all other songs that I keep humming 'Karugi Poyannu' never misses to appear atleast once in a week :) and once i start humming the songs it keeps returning again and again for the whole day...A hauting tune indeed!

[natha1729]

urukulai godavari is just way too elegant a song. stunning! i am listening for the 4th day running, i can remember the number of songs i've listened this long, but this song beats them all i think

in malayalam it is different emphasis than in Telugu and Kannada and tamil and hindi different. how can a composer straddle different idioms in such style and grace?

"karugi poyanu karpoora veenalaa" is another prized discovery. thanks!

[Sureshs65]

Natha,

You are right. What fascinates lot of people is how Raja can get the flavour of that land in his songs. There is a different flavor for Telugu songs and for Malayalam songs it is completely different. I was listening to 'Marakudaiyal' (Manasinnakare) yesterday and the feel is so much Malayalam. Amazing.

Another thing about Raja is in all these languages he created original songs most of the time. In earlier days, MDs used to just transpose their popular songs in one language to another. Raja creates new ones and therein lies the difference.

The 7 set CDs of Telugu films of Raja that Aditya Audio releases is a boon to everyone.

RS,

suresh,
Thanks for ur opinion.Raja's creative -
Gods Grace.i feel....

In an interview in malaiyalam tv show.

IR told to one ques that

"If u have radio, u did not get the station.
When u tune the station, u will get it.

Like that, in the atomosphere, already
sounds are there.

When i sit to compose, i am tuned and got
the sound.

after tat, i write and give it to you...

I am stunned by this reply.

He always told, nothing new i gave it to you.
Already they are in the world.

This time only i got his View about himself.

[Sureshs65]

Hi Usha,

A nice song indeed. I didn't know that such a movie existed !!!

RS,

Do you have the songs of this movie?

S.Suresh

[tvsankar]

suresh,
Thanks for ur response.

Sogama agiten. Yarum pakkalaiya nu.

Beautiful song......... Becoz of IR and Sadhana...

cucucu kommallo by IR i like it very much.

In Telugu IR songs, the cucu sound
is used so niiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeeeely.

[Sureshs65]

Following the links in YouTube I saw the 'Sye Chindye' song of 'Anthapuram'. Again shows how Raja adapts himself to a particular language. It is very clear that this song could only be in Telugu. Well picturised too.

S.Suresh

[rajasaranam]

RS,

Wonderful album, albeit all of them are rehashes.
IMHO, Balu Mahendra did not do justice to these evergreen classics.

Have fun!
