when i was watching "the legends of music" the other day, the interviewer asked a very tricky yet sensible question on an important aspect of music. she asked ARR if he gets musical block. ARR genuinely answered, s there were instances he had to handle musical block but during those instances he would carry out the other part of the creating a song.. i.e percussions, mixing etc... this afternoon when i was humming "minnale" song from may madham something immediately struck when i was humming "vaarthai vara kaathirukum kavigan illaya" [(isn't there a poet/lyricist waiting for a word strike his mind (to pen down a poem?)]... what happens when a lyricist faces this situation in front of a director or MD? oh, that's bad...
musical block should be a real enemy for any music director and after watching the interview i just understood ARR is no exception from this phenomenon. this musical genius is also a normal human being in one context and directors, producers and fans tend to play with his patience every now and then... may be ARR can use the shelved songs when he gets any sort of musical block... i hate those directors who reserve those shelved song for their future and never think about it again. Mr.Ghai will u ever try to release that motherland songs? huh... and this man, was almost complaining in the NDTV interview that ARR took more time to compose music for his movie...yuvvraaj is the answer; i m going to wait...
