Raasave Unna Nambi
Raasave Unna Nambi Lyrics & Chords
This rustic melody – A brilliant song by Vairamuthu for a brilliant movie by Bharathiraja set to a brilliant tune by Maestro.There is nothing much more for me to write about it- the composition just speaks for itself.
I have a fairly base voice.Every so often I attempt a S.Janaki amma’s song or a P.Susheela amma’s song and always end up with the feeling," God, Can I please borrow one of their sweet voices ?" :-(.This is one such attempt where I literally had to stretch my vocal chord thin :-) and as expected ended up with the same feeling. However, it definitely was a good vocal exercise.
I so loved the opening humming that I decided to keep the original.
Lesson learnt from my previous recording: I have upgraded to a slightly better mic, although not a great one. This one atleast is meant fot singing.
Please leave me your thoughts on this attempt.Thanks.

One of my most favourite songs of SJ. Very well sung, Kavitha! Minor shruthi issues here and there but you carried the spirit of the song very well. What recording gear do you use? A better recording setup may help bring out the true quality of your voice. All the best!

@Meena, Nithya, Thank you
@Srinivasan, Thank you and thank you for the great pointers.
For the longest time, I always remembered the song to go “uruththudhunga”. When I decided to record this one, I listened to the original, I was surprised it was “urukkudhunga”- I checked against couple of websites with lyrics even. I would think “oru vaarthai – vandhu uruththudhunga” makes more sense , but I am sure Vairamuthu sir had his reasons to go with “Urukkudhunga”….
“ooru sanam” vs. “Ooruchanam” – SJ sings as “ooruchanam”.So, I decided to go with that.
@Adithi, Tara : Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. Really appreciate that.
The current recording setup I have, I cannot hear myself when I sing. But, that is no reason for the sruthi issues to creep in. I’ll try to re-upload sometime soon.
@Aditi – Did you notice offs anywhere other than pallavi – let me know.
Thank you both.

Hi Kavitha…
Nice voice and gud feel….starting notes were little shaky… in 1st charanam after interlude ur
starting could have been little smooth….some portions are too good.

Your karaoke track is double pitched. Whoever did the track did not ensure that the portions cut out from the original and the “fill in” arrangement are in the same pitch. As a result, it kept infringing on your rendition and you were not sure which reference you should adhere to for your shruthi. So, in my opinion it is not your fault whenever you had pitching issues in this.
Solely based on the way you carried the song, it is really very nice. This is an eternal classic and sits right next to “VettivERu vaasam”. The very first word “raasaavE…” expresses the longing of the village belle.
If diction is important for the song, so is the accent or the slant. And in this song Janaki just epitomized the folk flavor and the casual singing style in a mind boggling way. The way she stresses on the words “indha gadhiyaachchu” – just priceless. You have done very well in capturing that too, but may be a little more slant in “aachu” would have been more delectable.

the song attracts our mind from the begining with the humming,its really really fabulous. and the lines " rasave unna nambi,intha rosapoo irrukuthenge……"
i like to hear this from my angel….
ha ha ha nice to commend so. Ok sister, thanks for rasave unna nambi…….
try kannada song;’ Aa bettadalli, beladingalalli…… ( movie:baa nalle madhu chandrake)’ nicely dedicated to music lovers. Mainly those lines…its extra ordinary…. truly something extra… i am fond of it….

Jayadeep, Thank you. Not familiar with the song you’ve suggested.Will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
Radha Krishnan : Romba nanri. Yeah, I had a tough time recording this song due to multitude of S/w and H/w issues.Also,as Murali has pointed, K-track is sub-par.

A fantastic composition of Ilayaraja and you have rendered it well with your good voice. One of my all time favourite S. janaki number. Since you have a good voice range, would have sounded much better with a better track and good mixing.

Surendran, Thanks you.
I agree, a better k-track and recording setup would have helped immensely.
Kavitha.

Hi Kavitha…. An excellent song and you really sung well. I feel the voice is little light and you would have done it with little more open voice. Anyhow… the song is really good and I enjoyed your feel throughout the song. Well done Kavitha…. Pls keep singing a lot. God Bless You…
