Maargazhi poovae (cover ver... Lyrics & Chords

George requested this song quite sometime ago, god knows, been maybe a month or so. Was down with laryngitis for a while, and then for a while more…… and then the story continued :-))) In the meantime, he managed to fish out a good k-track for me

Thanks George for requesting this, and forwarding a k-track. This one goes out to you :-)

Movie: May Maadham
Originally sung by: Shoba
Original music by: ARR
Leads, harmonies, backing vocals & mix: Meera Manohar

First of all, thanks a lot for taking up the request. I really appreciate it. Another great performance Meera. You are probably the most original female vocalist on Muziboo. Never afraid to think out of the box. I also want to add that you are probably the best among the female vocalists in mixing.

This had a lot of nice improvs without affecting the essence of the song. This is a song very close to my heart and it was a treat listening to your interpretation. Goes to my favs. 5/5 from me.

Roshan says she loved it too!

Hi Meera….

Loved ur interpretation of the song…U ve brought a very nice softness to this song, which is missing n both original and my version i guess :)
Ofcourse the highlight of the song indeed is the last aalaap which is sounding amazing!!

Interlude aalap could have been better…

Good show Meera!! 5/5 from me…

Meera, Great job with the song n harmonies n mixing. You made this song completely yours by introducing lot of variations. Generally in ur renditions U seem to like to play around with the rhythm which happened in ur interlude alaap. I liked it.
Ending alaap showed ur sustenance n perfection of swarasthanaanams. And felt your high notes cud have been softer.
Your adaption to the song is stunning at some places. I loved that kuyil sound. Its so pampering.

Cheers:)

Hi Meera, I listen to all your uploads, but most times never take the time out to comment.

But this was so brilliant that I had to comment. Never liked the original. Never even intended to listen to this, but for all the positive comments. Is the aalap in the end your improvisation? I don’t remember.

The singer in the original has a very annoying nasal sound. Yours is perfect….

Cheers,

Whoa— okay, I didn’t expect such an overwhelming response within such a short time :-D

George— thanks to you for suggesting this song. I don’t think I would have given it a second thought had you not requested it. So 5/5 to you for that LOL

NVK, Smitha, Narayanan— that was pretty quick, thank you for listening.

Tara— It’s “saalaiyil naanaaga ponadhumillai, samaiyathil naanaaga aanadhumillai” or so I thought :P. Thanks a ton for listening.

Janhavee, Sriram, & Sreeharshan- So glad you guys liked this cover.

Rosh & Subbu— hopefully one is awake and the other one is okay since the time you commented LOL Really appreciate your time and comment on this one.

Srividya, Rashmi, Srujana & Jane— ‘bows’ thank you for all your pointers and suggestions. Appreciate it

Radhika— Took a breath control pill to get this song done…… Just kidding :))) The only breath issue I had was in the 2nd charanam, 3/4 line where I had to punch in and record. Otherwise, it was one go. Thanks for the comments.

Ramya avargale— Romba nandri for your comments. I am glad you like some of the improvs I made. I make it a point to sing open throated now, possibly why the high notes didn’t sound as soft as required. Hopefully will get better as I do more numbers.

Anu, Adil, AJ— Thanks much

Nithya— Welcome to my space :-) The ending aalaap is there in the original, but I have changed it quite a bit. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks one and all for all your encouragement, suggestions— positives and negatives. Duly noted and will be worked on when I do my next song.

Meera,

If ARR listens to this, sure, he will be disappointed for not chosing u for the originals. As Sriram mentioned, I felt too that this is far better than the original, no doubt. Wondering how could you present it without listening to the original much!

100/100 from me :) Goes to my fav too.

Even though I like this song very much never enjoyed the original voice. But I loved u r voice in this song. Definitely one of my favs.

Pallavi was commendable. You sounded very good in the 2nd charanam. I liked the impro on “un madi meele” before the 2nd charanam. Beautiful sangathis all through the song and of course the harmonies….

Blessed are you, divine Meera. Another divine voice on Muziboo.

All through the song your voice and soul did pervade through the song to the fullest in surrender state to the divinity in the song.

Your voice like few others on Muziboo must reach out to the world to heal the world.

I understood nothing of the language…but my soul pervades from the finite to the infinite consciousness through such a divine voice and rendition and the divine gracing it all the way.

I will call you Lord Krishna’s Meera…HE is very happy with you and dances to your tune many a times due to Maata Saraswati’s divine intervention and grace on you always.

Years of sadhana and grace has brought you this voice in this lifetime…Be in gratitude to God always for this divine voice blessed upon you and you will always maintain it and transcend every level closer to God every moment in time with your humility in life.

Soon there is a miracle to happen in your life with Lord Krishna’s grace says the God particle within me…watch out for it…Mark my words it’s not a joke…you will soon know…

Infinity out of 5, as this song pervades the infinite consciousness of the Absolute.

This is into the HALL of FAME of Muziboo.
Goes into my favourites too….

Take Care Lord Krishna’s Meera,
Keep the faith always,
Peace be with you,
God Bless You…

I don’t know Tamil but Maargazhi Poovae is one of my favorite Rahman compositions. Have listened to it hundreds of times.

Just came across your cover and was blown away by how well you sang this one. Incredible.

My only comment is around your pronunciation of the word Maargazhi. It seems to me that you stress on the ‘r’ a little more than how it sounds in the original. Again, I’m not a native Tamil speaker so my only comparison is with the original.

Great Work.
