Maa (cover) from Taare Zame... Lyrics & Chords
This song made me cry while watching the movie Taare Zameen Par. It is perfect for the situation and along with a wonderful actor that Darsheel Safary is, it was a perfect situational song in the movie. Here is my try in singing Maa, a melodious, soulful song sung by the ever amazing Shankar Mahadevan.
Song: Maa
Movie: Taare Zameen Par
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Original singer: Shankar Mahadevan
Sung by: Joe

Joe,
I take bad part as I am sure most of ur fans gonna praise u for this….:D
1. I felt song was sung with some kind of Blockage in voice….I mean SUR was not cominng out Smoothly….and Believe me that kill expressions at some times….which is very important in this….
2. Notes were out at many places….Not expcted from you….anymore….:D
3. Pronounciation problem………‘tuze sab HE pata’ should be ‘tuze sab HAI pata’ etc.
4. Antara and Mukhada sang with the same energy and Expression….I felt ANTARA has more intense feeling in the start….which should be sung in that way….as MUSIC gets little stronger but Voice energy keep at same level….this is make an effect of you singing with less energy in the ANTARA starting few lines….
Don’t hate me for writting all this…. :D
This means I expect more perfection from you….:D

Good job Joe. Did u lower the scale on this one? Coz the intro music started on a different scale. I think you sang it well. However I felt the variations that you added were unnecessary for this song. It added a south Indian feel to the song which to me wasn’t a good fit. Other than that, I liked your rendition.

Hi Joe….
As usual you have great charm in your voice. Very soothing to hear.
I also felt a little problems here and there. Nothing major. It is felt because it is you. High expectations….lol
I am sure you will take my comments in the right spirit.
Best wishes

@Shashank:
Thanks a lot for your critical observations. :-)
1, 2, 4) True. I couldn’t give the song the complete feeling mainly because of my nasal blockage. I am going under a 10-days medication for nasal polyps and it includes nasal drops and anti-biotics so my voice sounds tired here and there.
3) Thanks for pointing these out. My Hindi diction is bad and I need such help. :-)
And how can I ever hate you for pointing out such faults?! :-) I should thank you instead.
@George:
Thanks for the inputs George. The karaoke track I had was in the lower scale, I didn’t scale it down. About my variations, I think you’re right on that part when I listened to my version a second time. Thank you so much for these points. :-)
@ N V K:
Thank you for the compliments. I shall take more care in singing upto the level of expectations! :-)

Hi. I really liked your version of Maa. It was different from the original in many ways, but you sounded really gr8 and your improvisations is what I really liked. Something done differently than the original.
Gr8 Job Chetta.

Hi: U sang song well but that true that due to your nasal congestion problem, at some points, it feels some notes problems and Sur but not too much critical to be addressed. Thats why dont be disappointed and keep it up the struggle and hard work never be wasted. I had the same problem of nasal and gone through the surgey 25 yrs before. So I can understand your situation my friend. God bless U. best regards (email: raza_humanity@yahoo.com)

Hello Joseph… first time on ur space… This was a lovely song… u have a great voice and this was an excellent rendition too… jus felt vocals went shaky at places. Good to hear you :)
~MUSIC IS WHAT FEELINGS SOUND LIKE~

Hi Kavitha, thanks a lot for your comments. Appreciate it.
Prahalad - will be away for a while said
Very sweet voice n a haunting feel when u start off… patha at 1.20 was adding a little classical flavour… flashes of brilliance in a lot of places t…. the feel was gud… but patha, bura etc should have been flatter i felt… a few places ur variations worked, and in a few others, it could have been sung plain… overall, a great effort…. lovely feel in ur voice… it was as if u were really calling out to ur mom….
Joseph Thomas said
Thanks you for taking your time to put the detailed comments here, Prahlad. Thanks!
