Mannippaayaa (cover version) with Unnikrishnan K B

Mannippaayaa (cover version... Lyrics & Chords

Probably the hardest song I have done to date emoting wise…given that literally each word had a different conflicting emotion attached to it OR that’s what I took away from the original when I heard it the first time. Unnikrishan KB has lent the male vocals for this, and as always, been really emotive-his signature :)

The k-track didn’t have the initial backing chords as in the original. So in came Bala Thanks a ton for doing that, you gave it the apt start it needed :)

Thanks Pradip for taking the time to sit on this cover, and for your himalayan patience with every nit and grit that I threw at you about the mixes you sent me!!

And, it gives me great pleasure to be posting this song on the occassion of George Kuruvilla’s birthday (June 26) Thank you George for suggesting that I cover this song, way back when it released. This goes out to you, and hope you have a wonderful blissful year ahead :-)

Nice work guys. The original had left a very very deep and beautiful impression on my mind. A wonderful composition by ARR.
After listening to the version i can now see how difficult it can be to sing this cover and how much work must have gone into making this.

Nice pick Meera!!! IMO, the most difficult song to emulate the expressions, of recent days and this cover sounded different in your voice… Wish you had toned down your voice a tad softer… :-) Nevertheless, a stalwart effort…

Unni! Very nicely rendered and the notes were bang-on… You are definitely rising over the rungs to reach the top spot of the podium… Your song picks are amazing da… For sure, we are gonna miss you here soon… :-( Get ready to take up the charge as a play-back singer… All the best…

George! Happy B’day… May God bless you and hope to see you back in action soon…
Thanks & Regards,

Pradip somasundaran said

Wishing George a very happy birthday. Thank you Meera for entrusting this job to me. Folks, this mix is fully “as Meera wanted it”. I personally am not satisfied with the k-track as it did not have right bass and the rhythm sounds very elementary, and hence lacks kick. The bass track in it sounds weird! Mixing is not just putting the vocals in its place and adding effects as we all k-singers on Muziboo do. You will know that when you mix a track of 20-40 tracks of instruments :)
Meera and Unni have done a superb job and have given all the feel the song requires from the bottom of their heart!

Excellent cover….and awesome job both of you! Meera, onnoda range’e thani…. :)
Unni….awesome throw and voice modulation to suit the full throttle singing!
It did feel in the starting that something was amiss in the track…but later as the song progressed, the track kind of got ok….I felt…
Liked it a lot! Loved the harmonies at 3:55, and Meera’s last humming at 6:36….
George, many happy returns of the day to you! :)

Happy Birthday George!
What a beautiful gift! Meera and Unni- you both have rocked although in this one Unni stole my heart! You are absolutely right about conflicting emotions with each line! :D Bala’s chords add charm to the song and Pradipetta’s kalakkal completed it! :)

Liked immensely! :)

Grt rendition, meera u were really spot on, unni was singing really uptight, holding on to the melody rather than the emotion, maybe if it was a bit airy it would have been grt.But, overall amazing efffort by all.

Unni, man of moment in muziboo ! lovely confident, open singing and very good feel to the song. Nicely shifing moods. Loved it.

Nice work! Apt pick for your voice / style of singing :-)

The first chord sounds different to me though. The chord voicing I hear in the original (in this scale) is a F dim 7 with a C# in the left hand.
