Re: [arr] "'Mangalyam' song was composed n recorded in 5-10 mins" - Srinivas!!

2007-10-06 Thread Aravind AM 
Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to mention this

Initially, Srinivas mentioned in the interview that he was called to sing just 
the"track" for Minsara Poove... his version was recorded first. It was to be 
replaced with someone else's voice and they tried many other voices, but 
finally, Srinivas's rendering was retained...




BTW, it's my pleasure, sharing these interesting info with u all :) :) I will 
keep updating every week :)



Cheers,
Aravind

 Hi all,

I'm back with some snippets from Rahmania. The celeb this week was singer

"Minsara Poove from Padayappa was the song that brought about a change in my 
life It brought in lot of recognition and people started knowing me... 
Though I had sung a few songs previously, the songs had become famous but I 
hadnt got enough recognition... This song gave me that!! 
I was called in to sing the track for the song The entire song tune was 
ready... but initally, the pallavi (antara) of the song was different It 
was a very soft starting for the song unlike the energetic opening that we have 
now... the inital antara was not Minsara Poove... The words were something like 
"sowkkiyama kanne...  sowkiyama" (Sings that tune)(***that tune is very 
different from the minsara poove that we know, and is also different from 
Sowkkiyama kanne from sangamam in case you are wondering if it is the sangamam 
song that u r talking about!***) 

Then Nithyashree  came over for the recording, and Rahman asked me to teach her 
the tune as I had already practiced the tune It was an honour and even 
when Nithyashree asked ARR about some doubts in the tune, he just asked her to 
consult me... I was moved by the confidence he had in me..."!!! 

"Mangalyam song (Alai payuthey) is one of the most auspicious songs and I 
always start my concerts with that song! That song was composed n recorded in 
about 5-10 mins!!! It was close to midnight and Rahman was playing some chords 
and he suddenly hit upon this tune!! and immediately we recorded... It was 
already decided that we will have Mangalyam Thanthuna as lyrics for the song as 
it suited the situation The "endrendum  punnagai" lyrics was written by 
Rahman himself... HE has contributed the opening lyrics of many more songs!!"

"After I was recognised as a singer, and I started singing for lots of other 
composers, i felt that it's been a long time since i had sung for Rahman - even 
harmony or tracks... So, I wrote a mail to Rahman saying i wanted to sing for 
him - even if it was harmony or tracks.. And I got a very sweet reply from him 
- 'When God has given you wings, why do you want to crawl? I'm really happy 
that you have established yourself as a leading singer...' 

"Keep listening to all Rahman classics... I would say 99% of all songs that 
Rahman has composed are Classics!!"

this is an amazing share with fresh information.

How holy are these words... 'When God has given you wings, why do you want
to crawl?

once a diehard IR fan said to me, i like ARRs music, no question on that but
i respect him as an individual. not many have those facets tied together..

God bless ARR.
