Adi Aathadi - Its Raaja sir's birthday today

Adi Aathadi - Its Raaja sir... Lyrics & Chords

OM Raajaave Namaha ! Raajaangam all the way ! Raaja sir today is celebrating his 67th birthday and its so fulfilling to do this dedication. “kadalil oru thuli pola” myself along with Subhashini like many other Raja fanatics in this world would like wish him a very happy birthday. Maestro he is called for a reason and thank you raaja sir for giving us a blissful experience everytime we listen to you ! Long live Raaja sir and Long live Raajaangam.

This is my first song with Subhashini a fellow Raaja devotee and it gives me great pleasure doing this with her. She has just absolutely breezed through this song with ease and i just enjoyed hearing her when the final version was out. Thanks a lot subha for doing this with me and i hope this is the first of many !

Meera Manohar has done the mix for this song. I on behalf of subha can’t thank her enough. I was so nervous even approaching her if she could mixdown this song for us but she was so calm and with no real fuss she said “I ll do it for you guys !”. She had to bear with all the amateurish things that we did. I think she has added an extra dimension to my voice in this song which is quite different from all of my other songs and i really loved it. With harmonies in this song who better than meera herself doing the mixing ! cudn’t ask for more ! Thanks meera its a pleasure collaborating first time with you. Thanks for doing this inspite of your busy schedule and really appreciate you helping us !

Raaja sir’s music can actually do magic ! :D A real scenario where a Jobless bachelor (me :D) who takes life as it comes can actually collaborate with organised most talented mature family persons like meera, Subha lolZ.

Finally, Tried harmonies for the first time in this song and would like to thank Adithi for brainstorming with me and enlightening me with the way it works. For what took me the whole night took her just 10 mins :D

phew ! Just realized the write-up is bigger than Raj anna’s perhaps :P lolz ! Inspired by Raj maybe :D

Been waiting for you guys to post this song since Subha told me about it weeks ago…. :))

First highlight – excellent work on harmonics, and brilliant mixing Meera!

Subha – you captured the song with the very first note….:) sooo happy listening to the rendition! and liked the Lalala part….very nicely done. And your diction and lilts in the charanams were so enjoyable Subha….

Balaji – Onakku IR’-double’nu paeru vekkalama, illa Kamal-double’nu paeru vekkalama? decide panni sollu. :)))) Very good singing. Oru madhiri control panni padirka….andha ‘Adi Ammadi’ lines’la innum konjam opena irukkalamo’nu feeling, but nothing that leaves a listener missing something…. :)

Nalla dedication…. :) and I am a contended listener!

cheers

Guys this is simply awesome.
what else could I say when the paper was corrected by a big professor like adithi akka and mixed by Meera ????
Loved both of your singing.
The harmonized parts were superb and thought you have sung in a bit lowered pitch level.
but loved it to the core.
Bring more awesome numbers like this together guys :)

Raja sir , “Intha bhoomiyile irunthu kadaisiyaka swargathukku pora uyir ungaludethayirippen……Kadavul ungalukku avalavum kalum pallandu vazhrathukkulla vayppu kuduppanga….Anantham niraintha Pirantha nal vazhthukkal….”

Balaji , Subha & Meera……A standing applause from my end…….

Bala , you have done a beautiful job by putting yourself into a shell from which you have never crossed out while rendering the same….Such a fantastic control over the song (may become harmful in fast numbers , pls be care ful….he he he)…Due to the similarity of Raja sir’s voice , i hope , it was very easy for you to do the work……At Charanams , you have simply transplanted urself to Raja sir !!!! Nothing to point out more….Excellent job……Please come with more numbers like this.

Subha:- Fantastic work…….You have really complimented Balaji at several places with your cute involvement….Such a beautiful voice ma……yammoy….Very nice….Keep it up.

Meera:- Thanks a lot for the help extended to the stars……Mixing was excellent….

Congrats….All the best

Thanks one and all !

@Akka, :D

@Rekha, Kekka nalla than nga irukku ! :D Singing their numbers cos i feel i can really do ‘reasonable’ justice to the composition & the voices and needless to say gives me immense personal pleasure. Actually will try to get out of that mode expressing myself a little freely in the future. Thanks for listening !

@Subha, Thanks a lot subha for doing it so passionately. You are just simply superb in this song ! Really enjoyed hearing it in your voice. This is probably your best mixed song and brought out that clarity very well ! Superb !
