Old is Gold - Pazham Neeyappa (Tamil) -Live Show Recording

Old is Gold - Pazham Neeyap... Lyrics & Chords

In the spirit of the “Old is Gold” season, I thought I should contribute – but don’t seem to be able to find time to record anything new. So, posting a song from a live recording of our band’s (Thillana) show a couple of years ago.

Exceptionally rendered by the inimitable K.B.Sundarambal, this rendition doesn’t even come close to the original. I love this song on multiple fronts – movie being one (can never get bored of Dharumi’s antics…:-), of course most of the songs in this movie are brilliant as well), KBS is another – above all, the sheer divine energy of the lyrics, composition and rendition….

Since it was a live show, opening virutham had to be cut short to the Kambhoji piece alone. Though it was undesirable to cut in the middle of a sentence, we had to make this choice to make it crisp. Being a live performance , it comes with its share of “Coulda, woulda, shoulda….”s :-(. I know for sure, I am never ever going to be able to find a k-track for this song and record it properly :-). So, with all its flaws, here goes……

Song : Pazham Neeyappa
Original Singer: K. B. Sundarambal
Music: Kannadasan
Movie: Thiruvilayadal
Live Performance: Kavitha Nagarajan & Thillana Band

Wow! Very welldone, Kavitha! So happy to meet a talented singer like you here! :) I share all your “likes” and “loves” mentioned above. A little more practice and dedication should get all that sangathis right.

Please do sing more often for us here. :)

Meera, Thx .:-)
But, common dude, we have so many more songs to remember and cherish…:-)

Adithi,Sukumar,Gopi, Subhashini,
Thank you for listening/commeting/fav-ing/liking.Really appreciate that.

Sukumar – I posted it to kuthu Club, atleast I think I did. Please let me know if it doesn’t show up.

Adithi, Subhashini – Totally agreed. More practice is what it takes….

But, this song, I can practice all I want for the rest of this life and 7 more and never get anywhere close to KBS. :-) She is unbelievable , isnt she …? That too with little formal training. So glad to have had a chance to relish her songs.

That was a very good performance….enjoyed it….you could have tried it in a slightly higher pitch…you can sing higher ….one more humble suggestion is next time you sing …use ‘Si’ instead of ‘shi’ for sinam….drop that "h’ in all other places wherever you have used it …will definitely sound better……goes to my fav……:)
Warm Regards

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for the feedback and the like :-).

I have a bassy voice, so, have difficulty at the higher registers. So decided to sing in “G” ( the original song is in G sharp, if I remember right). But, I relate to what you mean.

Si vs. Shi – I just tried to emulate KBS amma just to bring out the same feel as the original.

Thanks again for a detailed feedback. Appreciate ur support.
Kavi.
