A carnatic twist to PS’s version in “Maragale MalarungaL” I guess! :D

Although I did like your rendition, I probably am one of the very few people in this earth who does not like this tune. I remember a very long argument I had with Murali.V once as to why I liked Hariharan’s version way better than Susheela’s. The tune just did not set the mood for me, unfortunately. :(

Nevertheless, a very thoughtful post in memory of the Mahaakavi! :)

Sudhathee Sriram said

I second Adithi’s opinion about the tune….In my opinion ,the soul of the song(in this case the amazing lyrics by the great mahakavi) should be preserved in the tune …what is the point of the tune if it cannot convey the mood of the song to the listener?Technically you may have sung this song correctly but it failed to touch my heart!
Nevertheless appreciate your intention in remembering the great Bharathiyar!

Hey Sowmya. It was a very nice tune, much different from the version I have been hearing (kandukondein), and perfectly rendered. I liked it very much.

Sowmya Akka
This tune is not a carnatic one but indeed a movie song (Movie: Malargale MalarungaL; Music:Gangai Amaran).

One should not be choosy, I agree, in the type of songs to listen to. But the mind will still have a preference to repeatedly choose what is appealing to it. This choice is heavily influenced by a variety of factors as taste, state of mind, values- the list goes on. So, I have listened to many of the above versions but still have a preference for Hariji’s.

So inda paattu nallaa illainnu sollalai. Enakku pidikkalainnu thaan sonnen! :D. You have done justice to the tune as is- adayum sonnen. :D

Somya!

பாரதி! முண்டாசு அணிந்த எரிமலை;
பல கனவுகளை செறிந்த வானவில்;
தமிழிற்கு இறையளித்த பெட்டகம்.
உன் புலமையின் தாக்கம் சிவசக்திக்கு உரைத்த்து போலும்; புத்தியிழந்து புவியெறிந்த உன்னத வீணை இன்று கலைமகள் கரங்களில் ஆனந்தமாய்….

Thanks sowmya for rendering this awesome poem. I am still clueless as how this prodigy has given us poems which sink with life so perfectly. Its a curse to this nation(IMO) for not having treasured this poetic genius.

And about the tune of this song, I don’t think only Hariharan’s tune is so captivating. As you have said that u have learnt it from your music teacher, that should have haunted ur mind for so long and forever. Am I right? When we imbibe things during our early days of learning something seriously, that would surely be perennial. And I think, Hariharan’s version of this song is liked by all since it was from a movie with a strong star-cast and astounding sound tracks. I personally feel the effort is to be applauded not minding the tune. Anyways I am a novice, rather a dumb music lover with a quench to listen to songs of all genre without preset mind. So I can’t compare the tunes and the respective impact on the listeners. But to be honest, I liked this rendition very much and a royal salute for substantiating your versatility yet again. Kudos.

Sowmya:Who said that the tune is inferior?Unfortunately in this world people have different tastes…Even the best of musicians in the world have critics. There is no point in feeling hurt/arguing with someone who doesnt share your point of view….you must try and understand that we cannot TEACH others “how to enjoy music”!Each one has a different perspective…!
All of us are amateurs…we need to be open to positive/negative feedback. I am sure you will agree with me!All the best!

Kuppan Yahoo said

hi Sowmya ji, nice singing once again.

Your pronunciation adds more effectiveness to Barathi’s words.

Your pronunciation and feeling especially on the lines, saathiram, aatthiram (where u give the anger pressure).

Thanks for sharing your song with us.

Sowmya Came here with Zero knowledge about this song. Just know that he was a gr8 poet. From my side never heard any versions to compare or say anything.
Wanted to listen to Tamil music too hence felt happy on hearing this.All i can say that it was very pleasant to hear.
Thanks a lot for sharing this lovely music.

Vishak Subramoney said

very good rendition. being an unplugged version, i expected it to be a little more classical in nature.

contributing to the debate above….i like Hariharan’s version much better as well.

Ven Sharma said

Dear Soumya:

You nailed it.

Almost 45% of the people who speak Tamil would have not gotten suttum right. You did.

I prefer unplugged versions.
