80s Ilayaraja Feel (Original Composition) - Feat. Rajesh Raman, Meera Manohar & Subramanian.K
80s Ilayaraja Feel (Origina... Lyrics & Chords
I know, the title is very powerful and will create a lot of expectations (that actually makes me nervous)!!
Do you remember those scintillating 80s Ilayaraja songs with those number of violins playing with the lead vocals, brassy trumpets, lively female humming, smooth triple bongo (that “IMTAKUM” rhythm), etc etc……? Ilayaraja is a legend…… It is impossible for me to recreate his magic. But, I wanted to experiment with a song in this genre.
I finished this track almost 4 months ago. I first contacted Subbu with this idea. As usual this (straight from the heart!) honest, enthusiastic Muzibooian accepted immediately. After getting Subbu’s parts done, I contacted Rajesh…. to sing this! He was so so busy at that time with the vacation, Enam-Onam album release and of course with his Lovely-Lakshmi! He accepted to sing this in spite of his busy schedule (I should admit….I also pressurized him too much). Another interesting fact about this song is requesting Meera for the female backing vocals…. this is the first song I requested Meera to sing (“Yaaravan” happened after this….). You guys know she is a star singer on Muziboo….!! I was not sure whether I can ask her to sing a ‘backing’ vocals track for a male solo. I was totally stumped when she said an immediate “yes” without even listening to the track. I liked the confidence/interest she had on my work. So I ‘totally’ revisited the track and included a ‘lot’ of female vocal parts (initially I had it only for a very shot time in the second interlude). Now, this male solo actually looks like a duet!! I have been writing and directing skits/ spoofs from my school days. I just loved that! Of late, I did not get a chance to do anything like that. So quenched my thirst by including some dialogues in this song…. If you are interested you can check out my other creations here:

I want to dedicate this song to my dear Uma….
My best friend from 1999 —> :)
My (best :P) girlfriend from 2002 —> :P
My wifey from 2006 —> :(
It is so hilarious to compose romantic numbers after getting married. The dialogues/lyrics you hear in this song has made my wifey very very alert…… she is always keeping an eye on me these days!!! Just kidding!! :P

I enjoyed this composition and presentation. I was smiling trying to picturize the song – Bharathi raja style white angels in slow motion etc. Keep giving more such original compositions.
Nice team work. Keep up the good work everyone.
Radhika Nair (away) said
Bala – IR or not, really enjoyed your work. Excellent singing by Rajesh and Meera. Though the idea of dialogues is quite innovative, it marred the flow of the song , at least for me , when it came in between the charanams. 5 for this great piece, all of you.

Hi Bala, Rajesh, Meera & Subbu,
Brilliant team work. You have almost brought the great Illaraja’s ninaivugal alive. Good imagination, nice lyrix, Dialogues mixing enhances the song’s mood. Arrangements just perfect.
Rajesh has done wonderful job and did justice to the song by expressing the right mood and attitude.
Meera, you are wonderful and have brought Bharathi Raja’s angel effects.
Subbu, you are great. I am slowly understanding what you are capable of. Job well done.
I really like the swaram, singing and lyrix of following.
“Illayarajavin innisaiyil andha 80’s pattukal ninaivil "
&“En kadhal oru nall avalai serum, kaneeril
kangaL irandum koodum”
I am sure IR himself would be proud of the above two places.
Balancing could have been better while mixing the dialogue portions.
Enjoyed fully. Full Marks to u all. Goes to my Fav…
Cheers,
Venkat
Adithi said
To be honest with you, when I listened to it the first time, I didn’t like it very much. But the second and third times did make a huge difference, Bala!
Brilliant teamwork! Very interesting choice of Rajesh’s voice- loved it! Meera was awesome as usual. Subbu- Pinnitteenga!
Excellent concept that sums up (well, almost!) TFM in the times we grew in! :) Want to listen to hundreds of those songs now….
Thanks for the fabulous entertainment! :)

@ Venkat, I am so humbled by your detailed comment. You made me very happy! Thanks for adding it to your favs!
@Adhiti, I think you are a true Ilayaraja fan. For Raja fans it is really hard to accept a Ilayaraja-like song from someone else at
the first shot. Believe me, I had the same feeling when I composed this!! I really appreciate your honest feedback. Thanks!
@Radhakrishnan, Thanks so much!
@Sudhakumar, Thanks for the comment! Yes my dhevathai is very pleased and also cautious (see my write-up)! ;)
@George, Thanks bro! I should have done those dialogues in English….!
@Rashmi, Thanks for adding it to your favs! I am happy you appreciated the dialogues as well!!
@Ajitha, Thanks for the comment and accepting my friend request. Between the tempo is not changing in this song. That is a very brilliant technique mastero used in the 80s. You will hear a “clap” sound during the last pallavi which will double up for the last four lines. The doubling up of the claps will make one to think thet the tempo has increased and will give that “ending” feel. But the fact is the tempo is still a constant there!! Some classic examples for this are 1)Ennodu Paattu paadungal, 2)Aracha Santhanam, 3) Paasamulla Paandiyaru, etc. A more detailed review on the “finishers” Ilayaraja has used is described in this article. This article is by Vicky, one of my band members (during my undergrad)….! Thanks for adding it to your favs!
@Nithya, Thanks for adding it to your favs!
@Harshan, Thanks!! I am glad that you liked it! Yes, I love writing and directing skits….!!

HI,
Sorry for being late here. Just followed one of my friends feedback.
This is an excellent piece of creation. Mesmerizing. Everthing is done to perfection. Rajesh and Meera are outstanding on the vocals. Brilliant team work. I am actually running short of words to praise this. One of the best certainly…. and I can say this though didn’t understand a word.
5/5 and added to my favs.
When time permits, please listen to my latest effort.

Friends :Thanks for all the appreciation,it feels really nice…….Yes Bala…….You did a fab job in the dialogue/delivery part……suspect you had Surya in your mind,when you delivered them :)I just loved the OK…OK….OK….OK…part and the underlying humor through out and especially the way hero changes his mind and religion from Temple to Church during the second interlude….instantly:)LOL……thanks……BTW,this could have been easily included in Vaaranam Ayiram for one of those kanavu scenes of the Simran -Old Surya Duo!
It was again fab,to work with Meera and Rajesh(to be honest,being part of the mailing list :))their attention to detail and the demand for perfection was mind blowing……felt so out of place with my amateur,ignorant views,but glad that I made a start.Thanks guys and the lady !
Regards,

MUSIC IS LOVE IN SEARCH OF A WORD
Raj kumar Anjan said
Team!!!!!!!!!!!
Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory*** I harp the same as I am an ardent fan of Ilayaraja. This space wouldn’t just be enough if one has to write about him. A nice team work which has to be lauded by every muzibian around. I have an impalpable wish that Ilayaraja should start composing again with his disciplined, flabbergasting orchestral work. A perfect one-man show and a living example in deed. And at times, I gnash my teeth on listening to some stupid and plagiarized works and my frustrations would immediately head Ilayaraja for not composing many numbers nowadays and thus not exercising his monoply. I have lost elocution for a while after listening to this number composed with run-of-the-mill instruments. A very bold attempt and have delivered with an astounding craftsmanship. Kudos to you guys…….
Now, let me share what I have experienced, rather relished…
Bala!*
Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it,
it won’t come out of your horn.* I am really happy that u are still living it. I mean in the days of Ilayaraja’s reign and also the adaptation of his angels’ ballads with white attire. Lol. You are an interesting character man. ;-) And I could feel how deep u love ur soulmate. Well appreciated. And about this particular composition, the tune was amazing. Am not sure of the lyricist.
Orchestration was minimal as It was programmed and sequenced using simple and very few instruments. But when u have used the tag ’Ilayaraja’s feel’, anyone would except his mastery in using violins/strings which is missing. I may be wrong too as I couldn’t differentiate the tones in a Key-board.
Lyrics could have been written with simple and easy words of few syllables as I could find the singer not able to stamp his style of singing with notes and improvisations. Usage of words in the songs also contribute for the success. Remember this – Raja’s music has completely shadowed the beauty of lyrics with the orchestration and mesmerising tune and which led to the spat and the split eventually with a renowned lyricist in the field. Just said this as lyrics and tune should go hand in hand to evolve the magic
Usage of Meera’s voice in the harmony was highly commendable. In fact, it brought the essence and purpose of this song. A creator is justified when he uses the right person for his creations and u have won as a creator.
And the charanam reminded me of another classic tune from someother composer. It may be co-incidental though. Initially the charanam takes off with a shade and treads on with another. Raja mostly used this technique. :-)
Can’t wait to listen to this song after professional mixing with all the required tones and instruments. Fantabulous work Bala. A graceful hug to u.
Subbu!*
No one on earth can whistle a symphony; It takes a whole orchestra to play it**
Do I need additional words to substantiate ur work and role in this original composition? Its evident through-out this number.
~ I personally expected that lead guitar as u would come across in Raja’s number. U would have known that Raja himself is a versatile and flamboyant classical guitarist. Would have loved this more if the guitar works were prevalent through-out.
Rajesh & Meera!*
God respects u when u work with commitment but He loves u when u sing with a grace*** You, both are special and blessed to have got such nice, pious, mercurial & remarkable voices. I personally felt Rajesh could have sung the pallavis better with some better nuances and modulations. But I too know that it is not as easy as I say. Need to control the breath and sing synchronizing with the tempo and scale. A real tough job. But u were awesome with ur diction, Rajesh. And a right voice for the harmonies to emote the mood of the song. Meera could well be conferred a title, *’Harmony Queen’*
Bala and team!!!! A nice attempt and u did succeed. I wish you to come up with more such compositions touching all genres of music. My 5/5 for this classy work and I mark this as my favourite whole-heartedly.
Thanks & Regards,
RAJ

Subbu, You are always so humble and down to earth in spite of your awesome talents. So your later half of the comment does not surprise me. As a composer, I exactly know what you are capable of…. You are a Super-Subbu!! You guitar parts in this song is like adding salt to food. Literally translating a tamil proverb – A food without salt goes to trash!
Kumaran, Thanks for your second round of comments!
Satish, Thanks a lot bro!!
Raj, Man you are really awesome. I really appreciate your time and efforts. You have really made an impact in this community with your effortless gamakkams and detailed commenting! I agree with your on the pointer man. Especially regarding the complicated words in the lyrics. It was not intentional, but happened that way! Thanks again for stopping by bro!

Man, I can loop this song for ever. Great music and I really wish I put some effort to learn Tamil in Chennai.
Murali Venkatraman said
Bala:
You seem to be among the very few who are stubbornly sticking to creating and posting original works only. Kudos to that. To most of the tamil musicians, IR is the maanaseega guru. In fact, some of them (don’t remember if it is Devi Sriprasad or Manisharma ) have statues of IR at their home. I wonder if even Rehman commands such a strong devotion in this era of his.
Your conception is nice and your choice of singers very much substantiated. Meera particularly is one of those few musicians who constantly digs up some oldies of IR and is well aware of the singing styles of that era. Your interludial dialogues were a fresh thought and definitely a welcome addition to the song. Rajesh has infused a vibrato akin to Yesudas’ in dhadhadha dhath tha “dha” of en iniya pon nilaave in many places like 0:24 which for fleeting moments reminded me of the golden era of IR.
Lyrics had some very fresh thoughts “vaaraNaththin varNathil koondhal” – azagaana kaRpanai. There are some areas you could work more to make this a bit tighter:
1. The pronunciation in the dialogues. There has been a lot of slips in the la and La. And even Rajesh, who is usually good in differentiating them well, was not very clear in dheepava”Li” in many places
2. IR’s work in any song is extremely water-tight (as my base guitarist friend Srinath Jagannathan would say there is nothing to second guess in IR’s songs) using a lot of strings all through the song. Your base arrangement is definitely reminiscent in that spirit. However in the strings there is no counter arrangement in the base section. For example remember sangeetha mEgam first interlude ? You can hear two distinct violin sections – one treble and another bass running counter. May be you can think of adding a counter arrangement.
3. Also some more chord punchings or counters or atleast base guitar in some of the places like at the beginning piano rolls progression at 1:55 would have enriched. Also la la la in that portion (between 2:16 – 2:19) Meera should have pitched in better.
But guess what ? I remember reading somewhere that you only have limited RAM and instruments. With the limited means, this does sound like a good tribute to the Raja of Music. And if you have managed to keep your wife happy with this, it is a double achievement. Keep it up.

@ Ranjith, Man I am really pleased and motivated after seeing your comments. Thanks!!
@Suresh, Thanks!
@ Murali, Your comments are always so valuable to me. I think Devi Sri Prasad is the one who has Raja’s statue. Regarding your pointer “1”: I am not sure whether I can revisit. Its not because of the time constraints. But am afraid I cannot reproduce the other aspects like feel/energy etc.
Your pointers “2” & “3”: VERY TRUE. I will try to revisit this. Thanks for the encouraging words bro. Hopefully by early next year I should be able to update my gears.

im here again…:)…i guess last week i listened this song… wrote a long comment…suddenly sm disaster net disconnected or something i lost the whole text which i have typed…thn…thought lets write later…
i like ur composition throughout… generally i like people who do different things rather than repeating the same stuff…this s a excellent team work…but find out how far we are from the real professionals. I guess only litle…but it like maintaining a percentage from 98 to 100…
i dont get the 1st line… ‘vaaranathin varnathin koondhal’ right?
i liked the drama too…well done…
i dont wnt to add any pointers here…thts typical muziboo culture….lol…
comment arambathila aaha wah wah nu rendu line …apram… butnu arambichu…kuttu no 1 kuttu no 2…:)
you knw which s the best… where it went wrong and all…so i leave it to you…
all the best to produce more (on your own time& own money…)unfortunately private album
music has zero market through out india.all passionate amature singers and musicians making music on their own money and also listening on their own…:)atleast muziboo gave plotform to earn some comments….(kutto illa shotto…kidaikira varaikkum ok)
happy journey in muziboo…

Beautifully done …… Excellent concept and the dedication to bring this out is evident from the quality of the piece. I am a die hard IR anyday. it feels really good to think i am among a lot of ppl who feel part of IRs genius.
Somewhere down the line i felt i have heard a really close tune like this one before …. think its very close to Santhipoma iruvarum santhipoma from Enakku 20 unakku 18 ……. Rhythm, base, Chorus, String harmony was close to ilayaraj’s 80s and was really really wonderful, as someody rightly mentioned a lead guitar was missing. A flute or a Violin piece would ve completed this concept.
I am no way trying to take any credit out of this team, Its just to say i ll be expecting a lot from this team again after this brilliant effort…. Quality all the wy and very very good work indeed. Expecting more.
Cheers,
Balaji S
