Re: [arr] CWG track..heres my take

I too very strongly feel it's not upto his sky high standards. When it's AR Rahman,there is just no way to avoid unrealistic expectations. His repertoire has been consistently "unrealistic" to say the least! I don't think people expected a song similar to waka waka, but equally catchy and engagi

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

I agree! I like the start of the song and basically all the solo ARR lines. But overall feel the magic is missing! Don't find the refrain catchy enough. Maybe ARR himself has molded my taste in such a way that I find it difficult to appreciate over simplistic tunes. His singing is superb though,

Very apt observations indeed! They reflect what we feel about his music. The other point I would like to mention is that he literally makes music speak for itself. So even for those who do not understand the words, it's a complete experience. You never feel like you are missing anything and can

By beautiful phonetic character, I meant it has a very interesting "texture", the way the words sound. You are right, it's not soft in that sense, I wouldn't call it harsh, it appears "textured" to me. I think this has something to do with the subtleties of different "la"s and "ra"s, "zha", etc(
