En Mel Vizhundha Mazhaith Thuliye - May Madham


Beautiful tune by A.R. Rahman. You can watch the full scoop at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZh7CmNBypA

The only thing I have problem understanding is "Vanam thiranthaal mazhai irukum en vayathai thiranthaal nee iruppai"...

Oru Varthai Pesa Oru Varusham from Ayya

I love this song for the simplicity of the lyrics. It feels more like prose. Simple, easy to relate to. The lines about "I imagined our own names in the wedding invitation from next door" is so reminiscent of the good old days when we tried superimposing ourselves in every possible opportunity. If any of you find the music online, please send in the link. It is a beautiful tune also...

Katrin Mozhi from Mozhi


The movie Mozhi is a fabulous movie with an off beat theme... We really enjoyed it and all the songs. Especially this one. You can view it on YouTube with lyrics.

I am not sure I quite understand a couple of lines. "Kadal Pesum Mozhiyellaam Saththakkoottil adangaathu" and "Oosai thoongum jaamaththil uchchi meengal mozhiyaagum".

Dolu Dolu thaan Adikkiraan




These two are songs from Pokkiri. Fabulous tunes. The words are more prose than poetry. It is pretty good though. The girl says she is a new Da Vinci code, as such a very controversial mound and that the guy is going in the right direction, but most likely going on the wrong one!!!







The second one is beautiful... Asin and Vijay do a fabulous dance and the tune is pretty good. Tiger hunts down a deer in the forest, but the reverse happens in the bed...

But this is the best... He says, her hip and the God are the same as both are invisible...

Paniyillaatha Maargazhiyaa

I am not sure how best to interpret all of this... Basically every line is referring to an absolute requirement finally leading to the line that says "How can there be youth without love". However, when the first line asks "How can there be a winter without snow" (something to that effect) or the line like "How can there be an art that is not beautiful", one can argue all of these are possible...

However, the line about women and want/like has no exception...

So, may be Kannadasan is using all of these to say, for the most part all of this is true, but there are indeed exceptions to all these rules; so, there may be exception to the question "How can there be youth without love"...

Senthamizh Then Mozhiyaal

I have been too busy to do much here. But this song is just too good to pass... Here I am, sitting on the deck in our house during a July morning, that is unusually chilly, a lot of greenery around and a nice hot cup of cofee and my iTunes playign this song.... Life is almost perfect... I heard one G. Ravi sing this for a contest. This guy is amazing. Listen to it here.

The words speak for themselves and the rendering by TR Mahalingam is really out of this world...
