Aruvi kooda Jathi - with Pradip Somasundaran

Aruvi kooda Jathi - with Pr... Lyrics & Chords

Song : Aruvi Kooda Jathi ilaamal
Composer : Iniyavan
Originally sung by : K. J. Yesudas, S. P. Balasubramaniyam,
Movie : Gowri Manohari

Arranged by : Murali Venkatraman
Singers: Pradip Somasundaran, Murali Venkatraman
Mixing : Pradip Somasundaran

After quite a hiatus, I am posting a song of mine. This was recorded in aug 2009 with Pradip but is getting posted only now. This song is one of those rare songs in which two giants of south indian music shook hands vigorously and interlaced their voices seamlessly. Yesudas assumes the role of a classically trained singer competing with SPB who represents a lay person singing out of “kELvi jnaanam”. The argument is built well through the lyrics, reaches a crescendo and ends in KJY accepting that kELvi jnaanam is sufficient.

However that is a tale of KJY and SPB. Here it is one of Pradip and Murali. Hence, the end result is different. Here Pradip has managed to impress on me how much classical training is important.

Can thunder sing a melody ?

If you want answer for this question you must listen to Pradip in this song. In what seems to have been the most melodious lion’s roar I have heard till date, Pradip has used his commanding voice to send a chill down the spines of lesser singers like yours truly. In what has been my long standing ambitious desire to collaborate with Pradip on some male duets, I have been made to realize how much I lack emphasis in my singing. And Pradip in his own inimitable and warm hearted way did not “tell” me this, but just sang his portion in such a way that I just sat dumbstruck wondering what I should do.

Murali Anna,

Welcome back. One thing I like about your write ups is the fact that its not just a bunch of words and phrases but a meaningful expression of experience from which youngsters like me can learn.

I have not heard the original song, hence first of all let me thank you for picking this song and introducing it here.

I am in awe listening to the two of you. You were calm and I liked that. But at times I felt that trying to invoke that serene feel was creating a monotony. But the portion were you both were singing back to back was nice. I found a slight issue in your voice at “isai thaaney….”
portion.

Pradip Ettan – This one of your best cover versions till date. You have yet again taken up a challenging song and delivered it par excellence.

So, is Deva saba thalam down the pipeline :)?
Regards,
Rahul Soman‍

Completely travelling in a trance as this gets played right this moment…. I am really puzzled as what has hindered u from posting it here all these days Murali…. Such a pristine rendition this sounds to be…. Now I think you don’t have any barricade to share this track…. :-)

OMG…….What a song yaar.

that aalap in the start and ending was incredible. hats of Pradip ji.

And Murali lovely singing man.
felt a softness in your voice in this rendition. Which was lovely……even though a few breath problems were evident @ 1.44 and 1.46 and it was totally understandable because it was after that lovely aalap. and shows that you have done this rendition in one stretch at that place.

Loved it Guys.

Murali Venkatraman said

Dear all,

Your kind words humble me.

The reason I delayed posting this was because I feel I have done only an average job (especially when juxtaposed with Pradip’s) and that you all should not be subject to an effort which is not good enough.

And the only reason I posted this is because in an effort to hide my lowly rendition, I was depriving you all of Pradip’s excellent rendition and the guilt inside me was irrepressible.

Thanks once again.
