Subbu said

Hey Arvind-Welcome back….so glad to hear your voice after some time….you made me smile with this……thanks for that……you sounded fairly ‘you’,in my view!……Found your voice more melancholic than usual……even as your smiling,giggling etc,the kinda sogam feel,so apt for this, sticks I guess……Enjoyed this Arvind….Yes this movie was a big hit and a ‘refreshing tragedy’ at that time!

PS:I am not sure what you meant by an easy number,Suspect no song is easy unless rendered and acknowledged in equal measure!
Regards,
Subbu.

Arvind,

Beautiful number, man. I never heard this (I don’t think it was made its way into Telugu (dubbed version). Even then, I can tell you have done a great job and juatice to this song. You really have a rich voice and very nice expression with all that lauhgs through out. I always enjoy SPB numbers that have his characteristic laughs that he is so famous for. Keep it up man.
Best,

Ravi

This was one of those two songs (other one was mandram vandha) I was constantly asked in college to sing on stage. So it was a pleasant reminder to those days when I saw you posted it.

TR had a knack to create beautiful tunes and then add a stupid orchestration over it. I used to feel that it was akin to “nalla samaichuttu reNdu kai uppai aLLip pOtta maadhiri”. But somehow that feeling has vanished over years with me realizing that he had minimal musical abilities and he just wanted a platform for his tunes.

Your beautiful and enviable baritone comes across easily an do your characteristic expressions. Some portions definitely need attention : “Enna sugam kaNdaay indru varai thodarndhu” line is note rendered very stably. Some trade off between expressions and shruti in there.

But newer inclusions like “ada pOda” were really enjoyable.

Bala (composer/producer) said

Very beautiful rendition Arvind! Your voice is your greatest plus. That mesmerizing 80s SPB feel!! I enjoyed this song very much.

I agree with Murali. TR’s orchestration is VERY disorganized. The reason is…… I heard those days he will usually come up with a tune to the studio and tell the drummer and keyboardists to poondhu vilayaadify whatever they wanted to explore. So all the instrumentalists took part in his compositions which resulted in this disorganized orchestration. Once upon a time, TR was was the favorite music director for his keyboardist AR Rahman and Drummer Sivamani…. wait wait the reason was, he loaded them with funds (to take advantage of their creativity) and bought them the latest brand new instruments (I heard that AR rahman changed his keyboard 13 times when he was working with TR)!!

Wow….Arvind….You took me back to early eighties. Though not my type, I had sung this song on a stage show on request… You can imagine how well I would have ’killed’this song…lol

You were awesome. I loved your expressive rendition. Nothing less than perfect.

Keep them coming more frequently. It is a pleasure hearing to your songs…:)

Arvind – Good morning!
Did listen to the original and also checked the lyrics and then came here to listen to yr version! do u know why?
I do need a lot of pre-work b4 visiting yr space!!

Your Tamil diction is excellent which even i cannot pronounce. Admirable voice.
This is the first time am hearing to your songs.

Seen some additions made by you like …am i right?
‘ada poda’, ‘chi di’ – made me not smile but laughed a lot!
‘chi di’, sonnake thirippi keka yarum varamatom…. just a joke:-)

Hope U have no more throat problems. Would love to hear more of your solos.
BEST WISHES FOR THE DAY and Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing.

MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Meera Manohar said

Shows clearly that you are recuperating from whatever your throat has been giving you hell with :)

Been ages since I heard this one. Nice one for the most part. Was very pitchy especially the pallavi, and guess your throat warmed up as the song progressed. Your innovative poda was very natural.

I missed your exuberance though!

Cheers,

Arvind,
Glad to see you back after a gap. Great song selection and beautifully rendered. The laughs and dialogues were very spontaneous and enjoyable. Your voice does sound a bit out of form but still this sounded very nice and fresh.

-Kumar.

Adithi said

Enjoyed that so much, Arvind (welcome back BTW)! You got better and better as you progressed to the charanams.

Nice discussion about TR. To me, the googly was “Julie I love you”- Just didn’t believe that it was TR!

BTW- “Neelakuyilgal rendu” is SG or Chandrabose, I think.

Hey Arvind…
Came back again to listen….supero super…5/5!!

Wow Arvind….

Nice Rendition. More of your version!
But i liked it for its uniqueness.

You should have sung before TR finalised his version, I am sure he would have adopted your style.

Keep singing. Best wishes for speedy recovery.

Venkat

Arvindji,

I understand that you are not well. Hence wouldn’t consider this as your best performance. But there were a lot of places where you sang simple beautifully. Enjoyed the rendition.
