Long back in 1996in one interviwe telecast in DD, ARR told about Bombay theme. It was like that.....................the tune was raedy, and Shridhar was to work on it for filter out the noise from the tune.
But after filtering the noise ARR was not happy, and he put the original niose-full version for the movie..................he told that with the situation in that film that version was more appropriate...............and the rest is history.
So you pick any ARR song--------------------u'll find something new, and it only happen with him.

hats off,buddy...
nice to know such infos that u mentioned there..i think that shud be
the biggest purpose of a group like this.. discuss something that
normal listeners of music dont even comprehend..
and not discuss the lamentations and worries regarding arr's talent.
************like, i dont feel bad or anything like that when my
friends laugh at me..for two reasons...
1)they are just doing that for fun..they know that iam an ardent fan
of arr.even they do secretly admire arr.
2)even if they really mean it, I DONT CARE !!!! HAHA*****************
Coming back to the point,u knopw somwthing. the song tu hi re, had
been recorded in the studio in a special way...it was told by arr to
some hindi mag, and i read it.(filmfare i suppose)arr was not happy
with the way it's sound engineering was done at the first time, and
later he and his engineer,sridhar sat back and made some changes..
onlything i know very well is that the kind of isolation that u get
while hearing it in ur headphones is truly incredible
these are the meticulous details even to which arr pays attention
to...and thats why he takes so much time to compose.
there is a clapping sound in thwe beginning of the song "sundari.."
in kannathil muthamittall.
wow!!!!!!

can draw ur attention to a piece from Sapney-------the song
is "Chanda re chanda re"--------if u watch that song--------there is
a moment when sadhna started singing and in the movie Kajol wants to
lean on Prabhudeva----and prabhu is refusing her at that point--------
and the at that moment the music is so beautiful----one cant
appreciate until looking at it.

or not-------when at the ending of the song the other cars from
opposite going thru, and clear dopler effect is created by ARR. But
missing those little gems here and there in every bit of Swadesh if
someone rate that album as average, then it is really sad---not for
us, but for him only.

a true fan of ARR and you are blessed to understand and feel his
music at such a deep level. I have always felt what you have
expressed so eloquently, and to people who say, Boss is losing his
touch, I can only have symapthy, because you do not have the sense to
appreciate such genius. The past 10 years, I have grown as a person
just by listening to ARR's music and trying to understand what it
takes to have his spirit and understanding of human emotions, life
and philosphy. Like Rano had once mentioned, it is that state of mind
that brings those exquisite music to us. It is unparalleled as far as
I can see and cannot be copied!

> I was just listening to 'Hai Na' the other day as finally I can
understand the entire meaning of the song (ARRs music made me strive
to understand Hindi and Tamil both..and I'm on my way; I'm Sinhalese
by the way). I keep thinking how ARR feels Zubeidaa's state of mind
at the point of the song, her youthful excitement at having found
true love..he captures all that just in the non-verbal
phrase "hmmmm....Hai re Hai re Hai re Hai re Hai." I can feel that in
the song after watching the movie, but just imagine for a person to
get into that character's emotions and put it into music before
seeing the movie just based on something that is narrated to
him...that is just out of this world!
