I totally disagree with you, Dinesh.... Thamarai, the next vairamuthu... No way!!!!
Lyrics are the weakest part of the album. Thamarai hardly writes "poetry" for lyrics, she writes "prose".... right from "Vaseegara" days, till now, she has been like that..... And it has continued almost throughout this album... take this for instance: (anbil avan song) "Unnai Unai endhan vaazhkai thunai aaga erkindren erkindren...." "Unnai thaandi edhaiyum ennaal yosanai seiyya mudiyaadhey mudiyaadhey..." I'm sorry.. but that is prose... and absolutely irritating when you focus on the lyrics when listening to the song.... the meaning may be good, but the way it is presented is what makes good lyrics... Thamarai loses out totally on that.... Not just that, in many places, the words seems force-fit, and hence taking some beauty out of the song! :( I wish Vaali or Vairamuthu had written the lyrics... I'm waiting for Aravind Rahmania show interviews: http://rahmania.4shared.com --- On Mon, 11/1/10, Dinesh Scaran <dinesh.theb...@hotmail.com> wrote: From: Dinesh Scaran <dinesh.theb...@hotmail.com> Subject: [arr] Re: Mannipaya [Will you forgive me?] - Translation To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, 11 January, 2010, 8:23 PM excellent attempt !!!
