Discovering the footprints of Tyagaraja! - Original composition by Balamurali Balu feat., Pradip Somasundaran

Discovering the footprints ... Lyrics & Chords

My 4th original work with Bala, a good friend and a very talented composer! Pradip Somasundaran and I have tried to breathe life into this piece of music. To enhance your listening experience, I have attached a write up here which we would suggest that you read before you listen to the song. We believe it will most probably enhance your listening experience!

Thanks Bala for the opportunity, it’s always a unique experience working with you :) And here’s wishing you and Uma a wonderful anniversary!


As you wander past those aromatic, green Neem trees, the gorgeous, magical mist is right there, in front of you, beckoning you! It’s surreal yet compelling, so surreal, it makes you forget yourself. There’s just something about it that makes you want to touch it, and experience it in all its glory. This surreal reality touches you akin to how the gentle vibrations of musical notes would. Those notes, that you have been looking for all your life, or, have you? Don’t those gentle vibrations stir you deep down somewhere, tug at your very existence, in ways that you can never, ever express?

And, as you pass a clearing, you finally see something that lures you. You know it’s there, yet you can’t see it! Are those musical swaras? You don’t know, but whatever it is, you can sense it strongly. The excitement, and ambivalence of having just sensed it leaves you wanting for more, and your curiosity gently pushes you further.

As your legs fail to stop, the vibrations drifting alongside the gentle, calm breeze touches you in innumerable, yet unexplainable ways. You feel the vibrations, their frequencies, their harmonics……. So, which of those vibrations touches you the most, or is it a permutation combination of all of them, resulting in a complex progression? You have no clue, and as you go deeper and deeper, uncertainty invites you, to keep treading that path, to look for that part of you that has made you walk this far!

The mist finally dissipates, and you see those footprints clearly for the first time. You stop dead in your tracks, you look around….Is there someone to whom those footprints could belong? You try calling out, but all you hear is a reflection of yourself, your own voice! You look up, and one of deep realization hits you beyond imagination. The footprints belong to the great, legendary Saint Tyagaraja, whose eternal love for music is inside you, this very moment, right here, in this surreal yet irresistible place….

Friend, you just discovered the footprints of the one and only Tyagaraja! Hail Tyagaraja!

Simply superb!! BUT that just an adjective – 
Hmm analyzing it, whose write up is this ? Loved it.
The Theme could be a journey of a Soul seeking spiritual treat and one who can see one’s SELF in God’s creation, nature manifested in its glory, being a reflection of God’s perfection, surely admire this musical work.

Vocals – This combination of voices did bring the necessary effect, to freeze oneself.
An answer for many unanswered questions, the world of purity, manifestation of Almighty’s Love in every part of the Universe, Nay! Would never call oneself all alone but we do realize we are a part of His grace! Simply Gr8!!
Let me stop with this==
Bala, had told u long time back that I love yr compositions, may u achieve what u want in life. If u could permit would write an article about this in a magazine.
The best word for this short piece could be “Though Many we are One”, will suit this musical work.
All my love and god bless team.
Thanks for sharing.

MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Hi Meera,

I have heard your songs lot of time specially on your blog. You inspired me to learn lot of songs as I found them so good specially few south indian language songs. because I am bengali and dont know much about tamil, kannada, malayalam, telegu but I like the melody of the south a lot. Anywaz…. you are always superb. Now, that I also joined this group its more easy for me to hear you. I am myself a singer but not professional one. Please do hear my music. This is the first time and first song I have recorded. Please do listen and give ur valuable advices :)
