Composing a tune for written lyrics is supposed to be very tough. Good to see that ARR has done it and how. Hats off to the man.

[arr] Vairamuthu Neram - July 18, 2008 ( 5 songs of ARR explained )
In Vairamuthu Neram today, *Uppu Kaaruvaadu SONG ( Mudhalvan ) * " At times, a lyricist is compelled to write lyrics to suit the story, the time , the song comes in the picture, and his creativity is stalled to a certain extent. When I was writing lyrics for Mudhalvan, the scene was like , " One Day CM wants to ease out, of his official side, meet his lover in the village, spend some time with her, and share his love for her. I started writing lyrics, and for which Rahman composed a superb melody tune. Dir Shankar also liked it, and he called me at 12 AM in the night, and congratulated me for the same, and told, that I have done an excellent job, and the same could also be picturised using all Visual Effects, as the way he wanted. The next day morning, the same Shankar called me, and apologised with me saying, that he wanted a new set of lyrics, as the tune itself was undergoing a change. I was very upset with him, and didnt talk to anyone for a day. He called me later, and explained me the situation, Dir Shankar told me , " Sir. Actually, this song comes in a climax in the film, when the hero goes to see his heroine in the village, and this comes in the fag end of the film. If a melody song, was fitted at that moment, the audience would be compelled to leave the film, at that juncture, as a slow song, at that juncture would have made them loose the feel of the speedness of the movie. So, he wanted a Kutthu song ( A song with fast beats ) at that junction, and thus came out, " Uppu Karuvaadu Oora vacha Sooru" . After seeing the film, and the song, I agreed with Shankar and told him, that his decision was the right one ". Many a times, The lyricist is compelled to change his skills to suit the timing of the song in the movie. *Nadhiye Nadhiye song* ( Rhythm) I was on flight to Singapore, and was supposed to go to Jakartha for attending a Tamil Awards Function. I received a call, asking for an urgent song. They wanted it very urgently, and that the picturisation of the song was the next day. On way to Jakartha, from Singapore, I wrote the lyrics of " Nadhiye Nadhiye " for Rhythm *Sahaaana Saral ( SIvaji ) * ** " Azhage Azhage Nee Aaradi Pani Thuliyaaa ", The song is like the hero singing this song on the heroine, praising her, to see, if she is 6 ft in height.. When this song was to be picturised, the sets of the song was put up in Hyderabad. The set was made like that of a glass building. This song was echoed in the sets. When everyone heard it there, the song was good, but it didnt suit well with the set put up there . They wanted a song , to suit the sets. The sets expected a different type of a song. Dir Shankar came back to me, and requested me saying that the song was good, but didnt suit the set arrangements fixed over there . I replied to Shankar saying, " What is this Shankar ?. Till now, I was writing only for Mettu ( the tune of the song ) , and you have made me write lyrics for settu ( the Set Arrangements ). If it doesnt suit the Metttu ( the tune ) , I will change it and give, and if it doesnt suit the settu ( the sets ) , what am I to do ?". I grumbled, and along with this grumble, came out the " Sahaana Saraal song ". *Rasaathi Song ( Thiruda Thiruda ) * Maniratnam came to me and said that , " You have poured out your feelings to a greater extent in this song. The expectations are very high now. This song has raised the expectations of a big Love Epic ( kaviyam in tamil ) . But in the story, I dont have that much to tell. If a film fan who comes with high expectations of wishing a big Love Epic, and doesnt see that much impact in the film, the film flops, and doesnt become a success. So, he told me to write lyrics seeing the story, seeing the actors in the film. Dont keep love lyrics which have a deep influence in light subject stories.. This was the request made by Maniratnam to me. When Bharathiraaja saw me , he jealously asked me, " That song should have been written for me". The song was expected to raise the film, the song which impacted me, and in the same way, impacted the movie in a negative sense. *Evano Oruvan song ( Initially to be in IRUVAR, but then came out in Alaiypayudhey ) * ** With the help of Manirathnam, I was called and told, " You have written the lyrics of the song, Just start and come". I went to Rahman studio, and to my surprise found that my song was already composed. A. R. Rahman had composed a song out of my writings ( Vairamuthu Kavidaigal ) . " Evano Oruvan Vasikirran, Iruttil irundhu Naan Yaasikiren". I experienced the bliss of this song, when I heard it with the tune from Rahman, and the bliss was more enjoyable, even when compared to the happiness that I got from writing it. I was very very happy. That song was picturised for the film Iruvar. Maniratnam told me that he would use this song, in a very suitable point, and in a very beautiful fashion. The film got released, but the song wasnt there . I started worrying, to know that it wasnt p
