Sangathil Paadaadha (cover version) with Sriram Srinivasan

Sangathil Paadaadha (cover ... Lyrics & Chords

I think every Ilayaraaja fan out there, would definitely know and love this song. Inspite of pathetic picturisation, and definitely not to mention pathetic people being starred in the original, this song is an anthem of sorts. The malayalam version of this has been covered by quite a few Muzibians here, and is a show stopper as well.

The Tamizh version differs quite a bit from the Malayalam one, being a duet and of a romantic theme. I worked on re-arranging the track a little bit so it would fit the tamizh bill, so to speak :)

And, thanks Tara, for the track. Your malayalam version still remains one of my most favourite !!

Sriram Srinivasan has lent the male vocals for this one, and I personally wanted a non-IL clone to sing this, and thought Sriram would bring a different flavour to this one. Thanks Sriram— my first collaboration with you and it was really fun :-)

Sriram passed me a link on this song which made an interesting read. Please do check it out if you are interested

Meera, Nice cover!
Tamil was the first version I heard innumerable times in FM radio. Later only I knew it had so many versions. Meera – Loved ur singing n awesome smile during the interlude. Very nice harmonies too.
In the humming felt 1:33 it was off.
Sriram – Good job. When you said ‘tamil’ chanthathil, felt it was sumwat odd. Sumthing is missing in ur voice,may be the usual punch!

Sooper !!! Tamil version la the charanam’s will have the alternate allaps and the dialouges that add flavour to the song. Arumaiyana Rendition.

Meera, The thing about you is the originality, i heard this song innumerable times in different languages but your sangathis are beautifilly unique and different. Slight improvistions inga anga pottu kalakureenga.

Sriram, Semma Modulation in the voice. This song has some kond of an artificial pronounciation and you just delivered that beautifully. Expecially the second charana start. Sooper again !
Cheers,
Balaji S

Meeraji,

I personally like this song, because it has beautiful BGM blending with the singing. Your humming was awesome and Srini anna’s singing was so nice. I really enjoyed it and completely agree to Subbu anna’s comment.

Sriram — very nice expressions. If u ever the get the K track for “Uppongele Godavari”…plz try singing that one again….i am waiting to listen to that.

Meera, i liked the mixing. Sriram, listening to this one….i feel that some of ur other songs would sound better with better mixing……maybe something to keep in mind.

lovely humming Meera……liked the dialogue delivery in the middle as well….very difficult for singers to do that and u both have done very well.

Lovely contrast to the other versions out here. Meera – Beautifully done. I am really digging your last few uploads. I liked the tone in this (especially the lower notes), harmonies were awesome. When u did the na na (high portions), you should have either harmonized or layered your voice. It would have sounded fuller. Dialogue was awesome!

Sriram sounds excellent. Lovely expressions.

Levels arent perfectly balanced. Probably need to revisit the mix from a levels perspective.

Tempo does seem to drag a bit. But its not too bad.

Overall SUPERB!
