Re: [arr] How can we fans send a message to the media?

[Srini Santhanam]

These people better be ignored. The media in this country is a shame. I have 
always felt that, this is just another instance where their ugly face is 
revealed. They ridicule themselves by calling VTV and Jeans as duds!

AR will probably be not bothered about all the media circus - he will take it 
in the same way he has handled all praises - Ella pugazhum / thootralum 
iraivanukke.

The same media that questioned sachin's greatness and asked for him to be 
dropped, sang his praise for days together when he proved his worth to them 
again.

It's not going to take them much time to start singing Rahman's praise again.

Re: [arr] ARR's theme song didn't strike me

[Srini Santhanam]

I haven't had the time to listen to the CWG theme yet. Talking of the recent 
theme musics, to me (and my parents as well) the Semmozhi song is just amazing. 
I was able to connect to it instantly. It gives me a lot of positive energy 
every time I listen to it.

Re: [arr] Gotta think thrice before posting nowadays...

[Srini Santhanam]

This is my 'long' standing view on 'Rahman reads all the mails in our group'.

I don't think AR reads all mails here - I feel it's nearly impossible for him 
given the various roles he plays, the busy schedule he runs and the number of 
mails hits we have here.

I guess Gopal / Vijay would share with him the general flavor of the 
conversations here as well as media in general and might forward him a couple 
of notes that they deem fit.

I also feel that most people who post here share their genuine appreciation 
because they like what they hear and not because Rahman or Blaaze are reading 
their mails.

This is not a statement of fact, just my gut feel.

Re: [arr] Which ARR album surprised you the most?

[Srini Santhanam]

I agree with the first 2 as well: KM and then Dil se.

But as a song - the one that grew from 'i'm not gonna listen to this ever 
again' to 'You beauty!' was Aaromale..

[arr] Re: Semmozhi Song - Singerwise lyrics and Translation.

[Srini Santhanam]

Friends,

Here's the link i found of the lyrics along with the singers in order - not 
complete but decent enough.
http://pearlwpbeta2.pearllysun.com/archives/620

I was really scared to try and translate this song, but here's my attempt. I 
borrowed the lyrics for the most part from the above link but corrected a few 
lines. I would really appreciate if the guys here who know the language well to 
correct me if you spot any mistakes or have a better translation.

Re: [arr] Leaked video of A.R.Rahman rehearsals

I don't think its 'Leaked'.. It's probably officially leaked :) Remember it was 
posted in Rahman's profile on Facebook as well.

[arr] VTV

[Srini Santhanam]

It was raved about when it released and I strongly feel that VTV will  
stand the test of time. As someone wrote in their review, VTV will go  
down in history books as one of the top tier albums of AR.

After a 100 shuffles... It still gives me goosebumps.

Omana Penne... Oh beautiful lady!!
Unai Marandhida mudiyadhe... I can never forget you
Uyir tharuvadhu saridhane.. You are worth my life.

I just skipped my bus and decided to walk a km with VTV..

Aaromaleee!!!

I think the tamil songs were different and I agree the lyrics were just 
remarkable. En aaruyire song splits the life of a lover into 7 stages and 
explains each in a verse.

Oh lovely flame.. You are the rest of my life

Here's my attempt.

Ennuyire Ennuyire En Aaruyire, Ennuyire Ennuyire En Ooruyire
Kangal Thaandi Pogathe En Aaruyire En Ooruyire
Oru Kaathalile Motham Aezhu Nilai
Ithu Entha Nilai Enru Thondra Villai
En Aararivil Rendu Kaanavillai, En Aaruyire En Ooruyire
Vanthu Sernthu Vidu Ennai Sera Vidu Illai Saaga Vidu
[Oh my life.. Don’t you go away from my sight.
Love has seven stages and I don’t know now the stage I am in
Two of my six senses are missing.. my love
Come to me or let me come to you..
Or else atleast let me die]

Sooriyan Santhiran Veezhnthazhinthu Poi Vidinum
Nam Kaathalile Varum Jothiyile Intha
Bhoomiyile Oli Kootiduvom
Kaathalar Kangale Sooriyan Santhiran Aagatho
[Even though the sun and moon come and leave
lets brighten the world with the flames of our love
Aren’t sun and moon just the eyes of the lovers]

Kaigal Naangum Theendum Munne
Kangal Naangum Theendidume
Mogam Konjam Mulai Vidume, Kan Paarvai Muthal Nilaye
[Before the hands touch each other
the eyes embrace each other.. love blossoms
The meeting of the eyes is the first stage]

Aaruyire Ennuyire Ullam Kondathu Oor Mayakkkam
Innuyire Kaathalil Irandaam Nilai Thaan Paal Mayakkam
[Oh love, the heart reaches a state of trance
Oh dear, Infatuation is the second stage in love]

Mey Theendum Nesam Thodangiyatho
Ithu Kaathalin Moonram Padi Nilaiyo
En Udal Vazhi Amirtham Vazhikindratho
En Uyir Mattum Puthu Vitha Vazhi Kondatho
[The desire to feel other starts
Is this the third step in love
Honey flows through my body
and my life finds a new way to live]

Ennuyire Ennuyire Unnai Konjam Theenduven
Aezhvagai Kaathalai Eppothinge Thaanduven
Ithil Nangam Nilaiyai Adainthu Vitten
En Narumalare Unnai Thozhuthu Vitten
En Suya Ninaivenbathai Izhanthu Vitten
Antha Sooriyan Ezhum Thisai Maranthu Vitten
[Oh love, I will touch you lightly..
When will I ever cross the seven stages of Love
I have reached the fourth stage in this and
I have started to worship you..
I have lost my consciousness
I have forgotten the direction in which the sun rises]

Kangal Thaandi Pogathe En Aaruyire En Ooruyire
Oru Kaathalile Motham Aezhu Nilai
Naam Ithu Varai Kandathu Naangu Nilai
Ini Enna Nilai Enru Thondra Villai En Aaruyire En Ooruiyire
[Oh my life.. Don’t you go away from my sight.
Love has seven stages and we have seen four stages until now
I think of think of the next stage, my dear]

En Udal Porul Thanthen Saran Pugunthen
En Uyirai Unakkul Ootri Vitten
Ithuthaan Kaathalil Ainthu Nilai, Naan Un Kaiyil Neer Thivalai
[I gave you my body and my soul
I poured my life into yours
This is the fifth stage in love
I’m a water droplet in your hands]

Oru Moogathinaal Varum Pithu Nilai

[It’s a state of madness caused by love..
It’s not bad.. its just a state of enlightenment
This is the sixth stage in our love]

The love in which the lovers die, never dies]

It's official. Sachin has joined Twitter and already posted a few

From what little I know, Sachin less tech saavy and equally (if not  
more) private person as AR. I hope AR also starts tweeting. I know  
he has a official FB and Twitter page but he it's more used as an  
extension of the official website.


It will be fabulous if AR also starts tweeting. I'm sure he will set

way to engage directly with the fans.


I know he is Extremely busy, but this is just a wish.

[arr] Ravanan - Lyrics & Translation

Hi Guys,

I've tried to translate the lyrics of Ravanan songs penned by VM. I did 5 of 
the 6 songs - I found Kaattu Sirukki song a bit tough (or probably its too late 
in the night and my brains protesting).

Here's the link for those of you who are interested:

Guys who know the language better - please do give it a read and let me know if 
i made a mistake translating any of these.

[arr] Usurae Pogudhey - Behene De & Gujarat Day song

[Srini Santhanam]

Sung by Karthik - Preview now available on AR's Facebook page.

Here's his message on Gujarat Day Song:

It gives me immense pleasure to be commissioned by the Govt. of Gujarat to 
compose a song for the Gujarat Day celebrations. The song is called 'Jai Jai 
Garvi Gujarat' and has been written by noted writer Kavi Narmad. Other Gujarati 
writers on this song are Dilip Rawal, Ankit Trivedi, Sairam Dave & Chiragh 
Tripathi. The Hindi version has been written by Prasoon Joshi.The people of 
Gujarat are some of the nicest that I've come across whether in India or across 
the globe. Also, the fact that my wife is from Kutch, gave me additional 
impetus to compose this song. I sincerely hope this song helps people celebrate 
and come together as one. The film is being directed by my long term associate 
Bharatbala who has demonstrated his unique vision and I'm looking forward to 
the video.

Re: [ARR] VTV is just unstoppable

Totally agree. It takes a special album to stay alive even after the next 
release. VTV is just awesome and still feels fresh. As much as i want to listen 
to Raavan, i cant give up listening to VTV.

(This message is related to ARR, Mani Ratnam and every artist who

Hi Yogesh and All,

I wrote that message in a funny way to emphasize the qualities of  
ARR and Mani Ratnam in comparison to others and by saying that I  
really mean almost all others (of course there will be exceptions  
but only a few like Guru Dutt, Bimal Roy, Shyam Benegal, Satyajit  
Ray & Naushad). Main reason of course is their originality. These  
artists changed the way things were done at their time while keeping  
high standards of their art and staying original.


The bitter truth of Indian film industry (or let's say Indian film  
history) is that almost everything we did was copied from somewhere  
else.


The 2 most shocking examples I can give you are:
1. Sholay movie is copied. Its an amalgam of 6 or 7 great western  
movies from Hollywood.
2. Song "Mehbooba Mehbooba" form Sholay (by so called legendary  
composer R D Burman) is copied as it is.


[Those who are interested in this stuff, can email me and I'll give  
the detailed proof regarding everything said here and countless more  
movies and songs that you thought were the greatest ever from India]


For your further information you can go to the following link:
http://bobbytalkscinema.wordpress.com/category/2-cinema-gets-inspired/f-2-cinema-gets-inspired-2/

So why will I not say these people are Donkeys?

I am not writing all this because I have gone crazy, I am writing  
because I have seen some of the finest movies ever made in the  
history of cinema. This experience has been equivalent to the  
heavenly experience we all had listening ARR from Roja to Raavan.


I know the time and space is short here and topic a very big and  
away from ARR. But I'll give you a few names of movies (See these  
and your soul will be blessed the way ARR's music blesses your soul).


I am giving a few extremely legendary director's names and their few  
best movies:
(Be aware that most of the foreign movies are between 1930 to 1960.  
That was known as Golden time of movie esp. for Hollywood. These  
days the movies made are pathetic and senseless whether its  
Hollywood or India)


From India - Mani Ratnam (Nayagan, Bombay, Kannathil muthamittal and  
almost every movie he ever made), Satyjit Ray (Pather panchali),  
Guru Dutt (Pyasa, Kagaj ke phool), Bimal Roy (Bandini, Do bigha  
zameen), Shyam Benegal (Zubeida, Ankur).


From Abroad - Robert Bresson (France: L'argent, Mouchette), Roberto  
Rossellini (Italy: Viaggio in Italia, Roma citta aperta), Vittorio  
De Sica (Italy: Ladri di biciclette, Umbrto D), Federico Fellini  
(Italy: La strada), William Wyler (Roman holiday, Detective story),  
John Ford (The grapes of wrath, How green was my valley), Frank  
Capra (It happened one night, Mr. Smith goes to Washigton), Howard  
Hawks (His girl Friday, Red river), George Cukor (The Philadelphia

Re: [arr] 17 years on, Thiruda Thiruda is still the one to beat

[Srini Santhanam]

I guess Dinesh was trying to introduce tamil songs to Taimur (assuming he may 
not have had the chance to listen to them). Another masterpiece during that 
time was 'Kizhakku Cheemaiyile'. It proved to the critics that Rahman is not a 
city boy who creates western tunes on a computer (Man, how many people have i 
heard that from in the beginning years) but can belt out equally brilliant 
village tunes that resonates beyond boundaries. Indira was awesome too - Thoda 
Thoda, Nila Kaigiradhu, Odakaran Marimuthu.. Aahh!! Divine.

I still distinctly remember the first time i heard each of these albums and the 
time my dad declare after listening to Duet that Rahman is the best musician 
India has ever produced.

And yes, Thiruda Thiruda Rocks!!

Cheers,
Srini

7.20pm Before we get to that, the closing ceremony has begun. Psychedelic Pink

lengthy introduction, this. Now, some fireworks. A drum-beating legion walks

Hey Dinesh,

I got no qualms with people not liking the album and people should be free to

Huh? Mind your words dude. What's wrong with you? So, did you pay 100

Re: [arr] Behene De and The Music on the Official Raavan Website

[Srini Santhanam]

I'm still keeping hopes alive of Rahman singing in the Tamil version  
atleast. I'm torn between which version (Hindi / Tamil) to listen to  
first... so if Rahman sings in the Tamil Version i'll buy that first.


A glimpse of the trailer in the website gives a preview of the visual  
treat that awaits us :) Can't wait to watch the magic unfold in the  
big screen.

I think everyone liked the haunting background music on the official  
Raavan website, am I right? Well, get ready for a treat when you  
hear Behene De, for that same music on the Raavan website is the  
backdrop music for that song. I checked multiple times while playing  
the 30 second Behene De clip and the music on the Raavan  
website..I have no doubtit's the same.matched in both  
pitch and tempo. You get to hear the backdrop music without vocals  
and strings at the very tail end of the 30 second Behene Clip for a  
1-2 seconds.


This song I predict will be a bonified masterpiece.it's also  
more than 6 minutes in duration (6 minutes, 10 seconds), so it will  
fall nicely into my category of exceptional Rahman songs of more  
than 6 minutes in duration. Can't wait!


Also..I noticed possibly raaga Bhairavi or a variation of raaga  
Bhairavi in 2 tracks from the clipsin Behene De and in Ranjha  
Ranjha. Let's see if my inklings are correct on the 24th...


Again, apart from the Asha song being cut, no Rahman sung number,  
and no instrumental number, I am very excited about this album!!!

Re: [arr] Conversation between SPB and ARR

[Srini Santhanam]

AR: It takes 6 months to get a call sheet from SPB. We wanted SPB to  
sing a song in Sultan but he was busy for 6 months and by the time he  
was free I was out of town, so we might have to wait another 6 months  
to record that song.


SPB: I'm following AR's ways.. it takes years to get ARs appointments  
and I take 6 months.


SPB: You can win a lot of awards and reached the pinnacle but you will  
never find a 'good boy' like AR. He is down to earth and that's what i  
like the most about him. I've known him for 30 years now and he's  
always been simple. When the singers are performing, he is standing  
here hands folded as though God gave them a song and they are singing  
and he has nothing to do with it.


Suhasini: Let's ask him if he know the meaning of 'Ego, Arrogance' etc

SPB: He would just stand there with no reaction as if he has never  
heard these words. [Turning to AR] You keep growing in your profession  
but just stay the same always. I'm proud of working with you. God  
bless you.

Re: [arr] VTV Lyrics, Thamarai and Vairamuthu !!

[Srini Santhanam]

I recall Simbu mention during his interview in coffee with Anu that he  
prefers the lyrics of the songs to be in a casual language and not in  
proper films. His view was that when the characters speak normal Tamil  
why should the songs alone have poetic verses.


So I guess Thamarai just delivered what she was asked to do. Film
music is not just about showing off your brilliance in every song but  
also giving what the movie and the creative team demands. I too agree  
that it's difficult to write lyrics for ARs compositions and Thamarai  
has done a decent job in this movie.


On a related topic, I watched the movie with english subtitles and  
Hosanna was translated as 'Praise be to Love'.


PS: My response to Simbu's logic would be that if films have to be  
natural, you shouldn't be having songs et all :)

Her lyrics might not have been poetically inclined, but as Srinivasa  
rightly pointed out, they fitted the film like a T. In fact, I  
humbly believe that the lyrics have done more than captured the  
essence of the film.


Frankly speaking, the film didn't work wonders for me. But the  
characters did. I think Karthik and especially Jesse are the most  
complex and at the same time uncomplicated characters ever  
introduced in tamil film industry. They believe in what they want  
and they're direct and frank with their feelings...yet, they choose  
to live in dilemma. This spells out the exact position of many  
youths of today. And with characters woven in such a manner, the  
lyrics have to be written in the similar way- forthright and candid!  
And that's exactly what Thamarai did and that's where she scored.


On the other hand, there can never be another Vairamuthu, as there  
can never be another Kannadasan, Vaali, Thamarai, Pa. Vijay etc. I  
strongly believe that each and every artist have their capabilities  
and limitations and to compare them with another is not only  
impractical but preposterous too.

I did not know that Thamarai won the best Lyricist for the song  
"Injarungo Injarungo" from Thenali. Interesting news for me. I have  
to listen to the song one more time paying special attention to the  
lyrics.


Coming back to VTV, maybe the lyrics fits well with the movie, but  
poetically speaking the words and the imaginations were pretty  
average.


I wish we have more lyricist in Tamil on the caliber of Gulzar or  
Javeed Aktar.


What happened to ARR-Vairamuthu' s Sir combination ? I am terribly  
missing it. They were a mind blowing pair and I really wish they  
come back once again and make me sit back and take a notice of the  
lyrics in ARR's songs.


Jai Ho,

Oh dear.. How could you miss this masterpiece for so long?

I listen to this album this morning man what an album. The songs are  
still so fresh even after a decade. Awesome. One of the Top 5 AR albums.

To be honest, all these years I thought Chor Chor was weakest album

because I was listening to Chor Chor (Hindi). Clearly not impressive

Only few months back I listened to Thiruda Thiruda and realized what  
I was missing. Even though I dont understand Tamil, I gotta say -  
Thiruda Thiruda is WAY WAY better than Chor Chor, perhaps because

Re: [arr] ARR & Sachin!!

[Srini Santhanam]

Huh? I don't think anyone here tried to compare Rahman and Sachin.  
It's quite the opposite. What they are pointing out is 'similarities'.  
They are legends in their own field, they belong to the same era, and  
icons on Young India and have brought cheer and pride to the nation.  
There are millions of people who are big fans of both these legends  
and I don't see anything wrong in this thread.


I agree if you have an issue about people comparing Rahman with other  
composers.


Chill dude! This is not a convent with strict disciplines. People  
should be allowed to express what they feel, as far as it's related to  
Rahman. If you don't like a thread, there's a delete button available

Re: [arr] One album that is completely perfect!

Karthik,

Madhavan's mail was not about just the quality of the songs (so VTV  
does yet count) but more a 360 degree perspective of an album - how  
the songs fit into the flow of the movie, the importance given to the  
songs in the movie and the way they have been picturised. I too think  
that JA had every thing in it and probably the best in recent times

Let me clarify that i'm not trying to compare AR & MJ or their music -  
I would never do that. What I meant in my earlier note is to point out  
that they don't have the same celebrity status. 'Jai Ho' the song has  
an universal appeal but I don't know if it's the same for Rahman, the  
brand.


From a non-Indian public point of view, they all love the song but i  
wonder how many might recognise Rahman yet. I have had few experiences  
where people have said they love Chaiyya Chaiyya, but they didn't know  
it was composed by Rahman.


It's gonna take a few more collaborations and few more Jai Ho's before  
Rahman looses the liberty to take those early morning walks in LA  
which he can afford now :)

Re: [arr] What makes ARR great ? My perspective

[Srini Santhanam]

Great thoughts Ram. If also feel he has this aspect of an  
‘Explorer’ - one who is not intimidated by the boundaries set in  
geographical, language or musical landscapes.


While he could have settled for being a successful musician in Tamil  
Nadu churning out more Tamil albums every year, he set out of the  
shores and ventured into the Hindi film industry. Just when we thought  
he has reached the pinnacle of what every Indian musician can aspire  
to be (by ruling the regional and national music industry), he  
explored new landscapes in Broadway, China and into Hollywood! He is  
not just content in continuing to do what works.


Even in the musical landscape, he has refused to be confined to the  
patterns / song structure defined but explored new ways and challenged  
us in the process to expand our scope of acceptance. It takes a couple  
of listening for us to shake ourselves out of the ‘set trends’ and  
beliefs but trust the explorer in ARR and he will take you into a  
fresh and exciting new journey that we never thought existed! Every  
album is our ticket to a magical new world with the Indian Avatar!

Friends,


Spurred on by this article, I have put down some of my thoughts on  
why I think ARR is the great man and musician that he is. This is a  
thought process which has developed over the last 18 years that I  
have been listening to his music and following him in the media. A  
few disclaimers upfront, I have no music background and unlike some  
people in this group have not met ARR or worked with him etc. So my  
perspective is purely from the outside.


1) Natural ability: He is a musical genius and this is the first  
ingredient. This is a god-given gift and there is no other  
explanation for the same.


2) Intelligence and Emotional intelligence: ARR is a very  
intelligent man, he comes across as someone very thoughtful and  
measured. This is then accentuated by his emotional intelligence.  
Why is this critical ? - ARR composes music primarily for movies,  
this means his music sense has to combine with a Director's vision  
of the movie and the two must match. Only then will the music truly  
capture the essence and emotion of the movie. Even the great Ennio  
Morricone talks about this as the bedrock of his success. ARR'  
ability to feel the emotion and convert it to music is exceptional,  
whatever be the emotion - love, compassion, anger, happiness, etc.


3) Ability and Passion to be world-class: This again comes from his  
natural intelligence. He Ping (director of warriors of heaven and  
earth) described ARR's music to this effect - "ARR blends western  
instruments/music with eastern (indian) melody and creates a sound  
that is unique only to him". To do this in itself is being a world- 
class thought leader in music. But even more unique is to do it in  
the early 90s meant ARR was being world-class even before the world  
knew what it meant. He was defining a new sense of "great" in music  
no past definition of greatness. This is belief in one's self.


4) Constant urge and Passion for learning and innovation: ARR never  
rests with what he knows. He constantly seems to want to do more and  
better. Infact from the interviews, what I could glean was that  
Danny Boyle approached him only for a background score on Slumdog  
millionaire. ARR convinced him to listen to some of the songs for  
the movie. Danny again tells him "no cellos". Which meant he did not  
want any emotional or melodious songs. Now ARR's strength is this  
kind of music. But he takes it on as a challenge and gives Danny the  
edgy/rough kind of score that he wanted at the same time retaining  
the ARR essence. And then he wins all these awards. Even ARR will  
say, he did not foresee all this, but his unique ability to push the  
edge of his ability and comfort zone has brought this glory. Same  
thing with RDB - the song lukka chuppi was purely ARR's idea and he  
naughtily admits that he did it to fulfill a long dream to sing with  
Lataji. But when the music was done and the movie is watched, that  
song captures the essence of the movie in a way that is very unique.  
It is very rare to see anyone push the possibilities so consistently  
and so well. Numerous such examples be found on this topic.


5) Childlike enthusiasm: Hear ARR speak and you can always see a  
child somewhere. He wants to learn, he wants to do new stuff, he is  
never content with his achievements. no arrogance for what he has  
done. Imagine he goes and learns a new instrument like the continuum  
and then produces amazing music with it. That innocence and constant  
energy will always give him ideas and open newer frontiers. It is  
also the same with technology. ARR till date and since he started  
has always adopted and mastered new technology. That is a sign of  
learning and growing rather than stagnating.


6) Ability to o

Hey Friends,

What an incredible concert! I hope everyone enjoyed it. For those  
who couldn't catch it, i have recorded the entire concert and will  
try to post in online. Any recommendation on where videos can be  
uploaded other than Youtube? The concert is more than 2 hours and  
youtube only lets you load 10 minute videos.


AR sang a lot of songs.. strangely, he didnt remember the lyrics  
for almost all the tamil songs he sang :( The overall presentation  
of the concert was great! I wish i had been there. Glad atleast i  
could watch it online.

[Srini Santhanam]

Hi Guys,

Here's my attempt at translating the 'Mannipaya' song from VTV except  
for the Thirukkural portion which i borrowed from another site. Please  
feel free to correct this.


Enjoy VTV!!

Cheers,
Srini

kadalinil meenaaga irundhavaL naan
unakkena karai thaandi vandhavaL dhaan
thudithirundhen tharaiyinile
thirumbivittEn en kadalidame

[I was a fish in the ocean and
I crossed the shores for you
I was struggled on the land
and returned back to my ocean]

oru naaL sirithEn, maru naaL veruthEn
unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithEnE
mannipaaya mannipaaya...

[One day i smiled, the next day i was frustrated
I buried you without killing you.
Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

thadumaari thadumaari nadandhEn
noolilaana mazhai aagi ponen
unnaal dhaan kalaignanaai aanenE

[I struggled to walk
I became a rain made of thread
I became an artist because of you]

tholai dhoorathil veLicham nee
unai nokiye enai eerkiraaye
melum melum urugi urugi
unai eNNi Engum idhaiyathai enna seivEn
Oh unai eNNi Engum idhaiyathai enna seivEn

[You are the light at a distance..
You draw me towards you
What do i do to the heart that
melts at the thought of you]

Odum neeril Or alai dhaan naan
uLLe uLLa eeram nee dhaan
varam kidaithum naan thavara vittEn
mannipaaya anbE

[I'm a wave in the running water (and)
You are the moist within me
I missed the blessing that i got
will you forgive me love]

kaatrilE aadum kaagidham naan
nee dhaan ennai kadidham aakinaai
anbil thodangi anbil mudikkirEn
en kaalam varai ???

[I'm the paper that floats in the air
You made me into a letter
I start and end with love
Until my lifetime ???]

oru naaL sirithEn, maru naaL veruthEn
unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithEne
mannipaaya mannipaaya...

[One day i smiled, the next day i was frustrated
I buried you without killing you.
Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

anbirkum undo adaikkumthaazh aarvalar
punkaNeer poosal tharum

This is a verse from Thirukural:
[Affection cannot be confined by shutters;
Uncontrollable tears will roll down spontaneously when one sees the  
sufferings of loved ones]


anbilaar ellaam thamakkuriyar anbudaiyaar
enbum uriyar pirarku

Another verse from Thirukural:
[One who doesn't love is possessive about everything;
One who loves would even be willing to part their bones]

En en vaazhvil vandhaai kaNNa nee
povaayo kaanal neer polE thondri
anaivarum urangidum iravenum neram
enakkadhu thalaiyaNai nanaithidum eeram

[Why did you come into my life my dear
Will you vanish like a mirage
Night is the time when everyone sleeps
But thats the time for me to wet the pillows with tears]

oru naaL sirithEn, maru naaL veruthEn
unai naan kollaamal kondru pudhaithEne
mannipaaya mannipaaya...

[One day i smiled, the next day i was frustrated
I buried you without killing you.
Will you forgive me. Will you forgive me]

thadumaari thadumaari nadandhEn
noolilaana mazhai aagi ponen

[I struggled to walk
I became a rain made of thread
I became an artist because of you]

Re: [arr] AUDIO RELEASE IN INDIA ON 26TH DECEMBER 2009, CONFIRMED BY MUSIC GALLERY, COIMBATORE

There is no need to generalise and the sarcasm is certainly  
unwarranted. Yeah it is tough but we've waited a few months for the  
album what's there in a couple of days.

Re: [arr] ARR Concerts and the Importance of "SOUND" !

[Srini Santhanam]

My friend called me yesterday and said the sound quality was really  
horrible and with a Rs. 1000 ticket, she could hardly hear anything..  
Khawaja was almost impossible to hear.. she was almost in tears!


I can imagine how frustrating it could have been. Someone needs to  
take this seriously. its not fair on the fans and does not do any  
justice to Rahman's music as well.

Let me state here that I am no AUDIO expert to make complaints but I  
am stating this only as a member of audience who pays close to 5000  
Rupees of his hard earned money to listen to the special "RAHMAN  
Sound".


"BAD" sound. was reported in the Kozhikode concert too and  
during Pune concert half of "Genda Phool" song was heard by us on  
stage but not by audienceI thought atleast Chennai would be  
spared of this new virus.


Having seen myself in Pune concert, the state-of-the art and High- 
tech sound system and battalion of assistants and the complicated  
mixing and feedback consoles being operated by top-notch sound  
engineers and the entire event managed by a professional "no- 
nonsense" event management company, it is odd to get these reports  
of BAD sound system.


Aren't they worried about it ? Isn't anybody doing anything about it ?

I do hope, the Sound Team will finally resolve their glitches and we  
will see a flawless sound system in Hyderabad and remaining JAI HO  
tour.


Rahman's sound is afterall "RAHMAN SOUND", and For that atleast I  
want to go to Hyderabad.

Re: [arr] Did anyone notice the whistling sounds in Dil Se Re, second half?

I liked Aye Ajnabi more than Poongatrile because of Udit Narayan.

Hello there, im glad to find u love the Tamil version more. I  
actually feel Uyire is always a better album than Dil Se. I heard  
that Poongatrile (Eh Ajnabi) was composed in Tamil first. I think  
even the Sandhosha Kaneere was composed in Tamil fist. Not sure on  
the latter, but former was confirmed by Gulzar .(He was too  
asthonished by Vairamuthu's lyrics and he was having a doubt if he  
could even match with the lyrics of Vairamuthu in that song).


Nenjinile had a better ending than its Hindi version (Lata  
Mangeshkar was said to just keep on going with her rendition in her  
own style and ARR ended it with his touch). But the Tamil version,  
where S.Janaki sang, it had a more complete and fulfilling ending  
thanks to Janaki ma's awesome way of ending the song. Do give it a  
try. U will love it more.

Re: [arr] 10 ways to disappoint an AR Rahman Fan

:) So true.. but i think feeling bad about the wrong pronunciations is  
not a sin!

I was searching the forum for all disappointment mails and not  
surprisingly, found hundreds of them - most of them were sent just  
before the release of an album or a film.. mostly judging by the  
preview, a disappointed fan comes to a conclusion that this is not  
like Roja, Taal or *insert your favorite album here* etc. etc.


But the most interesting disappointment mails were little bit  
different.. here is a list of my favorite disappointment mails.


If anyone gets offended, get offended.. that is exactly the purpose  
of this mail. Because, we are sick of seeing these people popping up  
whenever a new album is going to release.



1 .  AR Rahman does not mention more Tamil Movie names as his  
favorite albums -  Fans Get Disappointed


2.  Someone posts a preview of a song into youtube and the first  
mail will be - Disappointed!!


3.  AR Rahman is concentrating more on hindi projects - Disappointed

4.  Intro of a song sounds a bit similar to another song he / she  
heard of another composer - Huge disappointment!


5.  AR Rahman is not doing this movie or that movie - Disappointed.

6.  AR Rahman chooses a singer over another who he / she thinks  
would have been a better choice - because he / she thinks that his /  
her knowledge in music is far superior than the others.. even  
rahman.  -  well, they get disappointed!


7. When a singer cannot pronounce a particular word correctly -  
Disappointed


8.  The rhythm of a song sounds familiar to that of a song he  
composed in another language, or another year -  How could rahman do  
this to us!! we are disappointed.


10. When someone tells these disappointed fans to take it easy,   
they are easily offended and get - disappointed!

that album is the biggest culprit and solely responsible of all

in hindi films.
since then he makes below average songs . but problem is that they

Re: [arr] some questions about ARR's Tamil songs

[Srini Santhanam]

I will answer the 3rd question because its such a lovely song which is  
close to my heart for the music, the lyrics and rendition by MSV. The  
song is about the Srilankan tamils leaving their hometown (Mangulam  
town in the movie) because of Army raid and it explains the plight of  
their journey amid the bomb shelling and air raids.


Here's my attempt on the translation:

Give us farewell, our land
The homes where the ocean beats down to the doorstep
Palm tree forests, birds nest.
Will we ever get to see you again?
We buried the smiles in our lips
We buried our lives within our bodies
We embark on a journey just as skeletons.

Even if its in tatters, will there be a comfort like a mother(land)'s  
lap.

Even if you went to heaven, will you get the freedom of your home town.
Here's the nation where we opened our eyes.
Where will be the place when we close our eyes.
We part with you.. Rivers.. we will return if we survive..
We will return is our motherland calls us back.
Oh land that was born behind a curtain of tears.
We see you one last time

We lost our music to the cries of the infants.
We buried our land when the sun went down
At dusk we were on the flowers
At night we were torn by the thorns
Ocean waters, birds - we will meet you if we are alive
Sky and Mountains - we will meet you if we are alive
We are going away with little burdens in the head and more in the  
heart..

___

Personally my favorite in the movie would be Vellai Pookal which prays  
for Peace in Srilanka and all over the world.. Let the song come true  
very soon.


What a marvel by Rahman and the guitars.. awesome

Cheers,
Srini

i have recently started listening ARR's Tamil albums (I don't  
understand Tamil therefore used to listen only his Hindi albums). i  
have a few questions about some songs, would be grateful if someone  
could answer. i know this all would have been discussed here when  
the albums released but i missed since i used to skip messages about  
Tamil albums.


1. Thigu Thigu (Ah Aah)
the song starts with music piece in background (first 42 seconds)  
and then suddenly bursts into full song. my question is about this  
music piece. is this part of the original song (i.e., composed by  
ARR?) or it is some old song integrated here. the old style  
instrument (don't know what it is called) used made me believe it is  
some old song. also the instrument is played so beautifully  
especially those 5 seconds between 0:15 to 0:20. that i wonder why  
ARR did not use it in the rest of the song.


2. Karisal Tharisil (Tajmahal)
first times when i listened this song i did not notice that it is a  
single song. there are a number of different melodies or songs  
merged into one song. is this a medley song?


3. Vidai Kodu (Kannathil Muthamittal)
oh man, what a stunning song. what a composition, this song alone  
deserves a bunch of oscars. only ARR can do such a composition. i am  
totally blown away. for me this is the BEST song of all his Tamil  
discography. now only one question, please someone tell me what is  
this song about (the theme of song). if someone could come up with  
translation that would be really great.


4. Ada Mondru Ezhuthu (Paarthale Paravasam)
the first time i listened this song i was like oh this cannot be by  
ARR. the song is great and my favorite too, the thing which made me  
think so was the sitar (or guitar or whatever) the instrument the  
song starts with (00:13-0:30 and then 0:42-0:53). similar pieces i  
have heard in lot of songs from B-grade composers in Bollywood. very  
rarely i heard similar piece/instrument in ARR's songs. though the  
way the same instrument is played in first interlude (1:36-2:09)  
made me think only ARR can make it played so beautifully. anyways  
just for clarification question is, is this song an original by ARR  
or some recreated or remix song (e.g. like i just learned about  
Ponmagal Vandaal from ATM)


this is all for now. i may come with more as i am still not done  
with some albums.

Hi group,
It's my pleasure to say that I've reached the final few in Airtel  
Super Singer 2008, on vijay tv. And most of the songs I've sung in  
this competition have been ARR sir's songs. To the extent that  
everyone acknowledges it on the show as well, that I'm a die hard  
Rahmaniac :D


I have dedicated my perfomances in the wild card round to ARR sir  
and all his fans, and all three songs that i've sung in this round  
are boss's :)


Of course, only one finalist will be selected from the current 5  
contestants, and this would be based on audience votes. Do watch the  
show, and if you like my performance, I request you all to support  
me by voting for me. Even if I do not go on to become a finalist,  
the music shall continue always :)


To vote, sms "SS18" to 57827
or logon to http://vijay.indya.com/supersinger08/vote/contest_vote.asp
Multiple votes for the same contestant are allowed.

Do watch today's episode at 9 PM IST or if you miss it, tomorrow at  
1 PM.


I'll post my experiences on the show, and the amount of influence  
sir's music has had on me, after i'm done with the show. Been ages  
since I posted to the group...


Cheers!!
Long live ARR!!
R Vijaynarain!!

[arr] Scoring “Slumdog Millionaire” with Logic: A n Interview with A. R. Rahman

[Srini Santhanam]

AR Rahman - on Apple Hot News. My Favourite company talking about my  
Favourite composer :)

Cheers,

Bio

An artist who has redefined contemporary Indian music, A.R. Rahman is  
an icon in the world of cinematic scoring and one of the world’s top  
25 all-time selling recording artists.


Rahman’s score for “Slumdog Millionaire,” which was critically  
praised by Rolling Stone, Time Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, and  
The New York Times has sold more than 100,000 copies and was the #1  
downloaded album on iTunes.


Widely considered the man who single-handedly revived public interest  
in Indian film music in the 1990s, Rahman scored the runaway hit,  
“Roja,” directed by noted Indian filmmaker Mani Ratnam. The  
soundtrack earned Rahman the Indian National Award for Best Music  
Composer, and was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 best movie  
soundtracks in the world.


Rahman obtained a degree in western classical music from the Trinity  
College of Music, London, and set up his own in-house studio called  
Panchathan Record-Inn at Chennai, arguably one of Asia’s most  
sophisticated and high-tech studios.




Making Tracks

The Soundtrack

To create the “Slumdog Millionaire,” Rahman used a rich palette of  
logic plug-ins on the live instruments and software instrument tracks,  
including classic Logic plug-ins like the Autofilter, Overdrive,  
Compressor, Fuzz Wah, Enveloper, Stereo Delay, Phaser, Ring Shifter  
and Bit Crusher, as well as the newer flagship Space Designer and  
Delay Designer to help create the overall sound. Several of the tracks  
are very simply mixed in Logic Pro with the Logic Adlimiter and  
Channel EQ on the main outputs.


“Jai Ho”

In “Jai Ho,” his Oscar-winning song from “Slumdog,” Rahman made  
extensive use of Logic instruments, including EXS24, the EVP88  
electric piano, and ES2 synth mixed with a few favorite Logic plug-ins  
such as Channel EQ, Bitcrusher, and Guitar Amp Pro. The bassline as  
well as the trancey, arpeggiated musical line used ES2 presets.


On the long chorus vocals in “Jai Ho,” Rahman created the robotic,  
stair-stepping pitch-bend effect with Logic’s Pitch Correction plug- 
in to achieve the exaggerated tuning effect.


School’s In

Rahman’s KM Music Conservatory, which teaches students Western  
Classical and Indian Classical Music, as well as Audio Media  
Education, is India's first Apple Authorized Training Center to offer  
all the students Logic Pro Level 1 Certification classes. The students  
at KM Music Conservatory use MacBook or MacBook Pro computers running  
Logic Pro.




If you haven’t yet heard at least some of the score from this  
year’s Oscar-winning best film “Slumdog Millionaire,” you must be  
trying very hard not to.


Even before it won two Oscars for best score and best song (“Jai Ho),  
as well as the Golden Globe and BAFTA awards for best score, A. R.  
Rahman’s soundtrack—written on a Mac in Logic Studio—had  
registered with any reasonably alert listener during the film’s much- 
reported rise from Indian-flavored indie longshot to runaway worldwide  
hit.


If the soundtrack’s audio reach is in part attributable to the  
film’s sweeping success, its musical grasp is strictly the result of  
Rahman’s unforgettable melodies and rhythms. In fact, It would be as  
hard to imagine “Slumdog” without its script or cinematography as  
without Rahman’s score.


One of the world’s most prolific and celebrated cinematic composers  
and top-selling recording artists, Rahman has scored more than 110  
films, starting with Roja (1993), which was named by Time magazine as  
one of the 100 best movie soundtracks. He is an equally avid student  
of cutting edge music and technology, and he uses both to turn out  
scores and songs that seamlessly combine classical Indian and Western  
sounds with modern vocal and instrumental styles.


For “Slumdog Millionaire,” Rahman blends Bollywood, hip-hop, world  
music and more to not only complement but significantly carry the  
film’s energetic plot and audience-pleasing themes. In a recent phone  
interview, Rahman spoke about how he used Logic and other tools to  
create his eclectic, ambitious score against unforgiving deadlines.



How did you come to work with director Danny Boyle on “Slumdog  
Millionaire”?


Well, I was really busy last year. I was doing about eight films, too  
many really. And I had this email saying “Hey I’m Danny Boyle, I  
like your work, and it would be great for us to have you on our  
film.” I didn’t know what to answer. But after exchanging several  
more emails, I met him personally in Mumbai. And when I talked to him,  
I had some interest and I wanted to see the film. He had a first cut  
of the film already, and when I saw that I was really interested and  
wanted to do it. So I left another film to

I have been really concentrating more on Rahman's Tamil works of  
late and have been so enjoying revisiting soundtracks I haven't

I need to express my feelings about this song from Sangamam, which  
really impresses both intellectually and emotionally. The way  
Shankar M has sung this song is absolutely divine. The infectious  
dholak rhythm with the Mast Qalandar like melody (not at all copied)  
makes this song my very favorite from Sangamam.


I love it when the second interlude adds this incredibly infectious  
ghungru rhythm, very similar in pattern to the Taal Se Taal mila,  
Hai Na, Chale Chalo Mitwa ghungru tracks, taken away, then back  
again for the final portion of the song. Just pure magic.


I truly with Shankar M would sing for ARR again.

Heard that ARR said that Mani's next would be kind of similar to the  
style of Sangamam (folk, semi classical), so we can really look  
forward to that.


Am curious to know what everyone's favorite song from Sangamam is.

My would be,

1) Singers:  should use senior singers in hindi like SPB, K
S CHITRA.

2)  Please do more traditional and village type of
music

3) Use traditional singers and please introduce singer like
shahul hameed

 4)  Do sufi albums

 5) Release exculsive instrumental versions
