This post is not to give gyan as usual but to rave about some beautiful songs that I have heard in recent (or maybe not-so-recent) times. I dont know (and maybe dont care) how many people will agree with me but I like these songs nevertheless. So, here goes:
1. Chalo, tumko lekar chalein from Jism: Shreya's voice, expressions and the lyrics make this song an out-of-the-world experience!!
2. Jadoo hai Nasha hai (again) from Jism: I hate the duet but the solo by Shreya again is a treat! After these 2 songs from Jism and Bairi Piya from Devdas, I'm completely in love with this girl's voice. Hats off to her!
3. Sajna ve sajna from Chameli: This song has a very sweet memory associated it. One of my close pals from college got married last year. During the sangeet ceremony, she had performed for this song (yes, the bride performed/ danced during the sangeet ceremony of her wedding!). The song was so situational and meaningful that I was bowled over.
4. Kaatril Varum Geethame from Oru Naal Oru Kanavu-A beautiful song with good synchronisation among the singers. A good blend of Carnatic music and ghazal form. 'Halka halka-sa yeh nasha' from Chocolate in Hindi is also a good example of excellent synchronisation and good lyrics.
5. Pani Thuli and Kanda Naal Mudhalaai from Kanda Naal Mudhal-The former is a wonderful duet except for the jarring chorus bit. Kudos to Shreya once more and KK. The beats are not conventional and make a good impact. Kanda Naal Mudhalaai reminds me of the classical numbers from Alai Paayuthey and Kandukonden Kandukonden.
6. Noothana from Karka kasadara: A very different song. I love the combination of beats, flute and violin. Somehow, reminds me of 'Thom Thom Thithithom' and 'Narumugaiye', both excellent numbers! 'Minmini Kangalil' from the same movie is also worth a hear because of the violin bits but Sadhana Sargam's pronunciation puts one off. This one is similar to the umpteen heroine introduction numbers, the best of them being "Chinna chinna aasai" from Roja.
Other recent favourites already feature on everybody's favourite list. So, I prefer to restrict the list to the above melodious numbers. But who knows, as I listen to more songs, I may add sequels to this post:))
Signing off with a few favourite lines from a song that I just remembered for no specific reason:
"You know, I love the rain,
I love the rain..
There's a song in this heart of mine,
There's a smile on my face everytime
Because I love the rain!"
