Tholodu Thol Vaithu -Subbu's Comp-Instrumental Version

Tholodu Thol Vaithu -Subbu'... Lyrics & Chords

This song is dedicated to the “Wife”-The better halves……

I wanted to do something different….many songs on loves,dad’s,mom’s and the newly wed……but in my view,there are a very few on the lady after living in for a few years……i may be wrong,but…. nevertheless

The Indian wife of a arranged marriage,one fine day, leaves behind everything that she was nurturing and enjoying,……like her ambition,parents,relatives ,her home town in most cases,and in a few her love as well……I have made a humble attempt to portray her sacrifices and experience….
-———————————————————
Technical:

I wrote this song in a top down fashion….as a guitarist I always tended to first create a catchy progression in any apt key/scale and then fit the melody to it…till I read a very useful suggestion some where “To avoid predictability in a song-try and compose away from your basic instrument”-That is try on KB etc……Then I chose a key which is also not very widely used,in my view,Chose it simply because it had all black keys in it!-F#Major……and then constructed the harmonies,rhythm around the melody….In all probability this is grammatically correct compsoition,with some production hiccups ofcourse….
-———————————————————Lyrics(Saxophone in the song)

Tholodu Thol vaith…then

Hey! Subbu,

Its 5/5 !!

Nice to listen to original compositions. Hoping you will find somebody here to sing this for you or you can sing yourself and offer it on International women’s day :-) Great Job! Saxaphone is a very romantic instrument….fits so well with Jazz music and our favorite KennyG :-)

I for one definitely know how much of time and effort goes into composing a music….since my husband also composes his own music…He should uplaod some of his recent ones soon :-)

Cheers

Tara ;Nice catch-Yes indeed it is the same rhythm-I just cut the later half bar from the guitar and replaced with EP!this rhythm is very old style popularly called bossanova and has been used in Faith(in fact almost same chords in Mundhinam)and Allah ke bande,to name a few!

hey Subbu,
it has a nice melody…
try different synth patches also…it can do wonders to this melody…also u have verse and chorus melody ready….think about a bridge part that takes the song somewhere to a logical end…
jam more along with this…ul get great parts to add on to it…
keep composing :)

Nice one Subbu, thanks for scribbling me about this!

Sounded very pleasant and pretty engaging for the most part. Somehow the guitar chords around 1.25/26 dragged a little, dunno if that was intentional :)

subbu….super aa irukku….loved the guitar strums….would be great if u introduce variants on the strumming pattern….like a faster patter towards the end (just a suggestion…feel free to ignore)….the main melody is certainly attractive….some marginal timing issues….nevertheless great effort and i look forward to the finished product with vocals…

Thanks for asking me to listen to this particular number, which I did cherish. Late for the forum….

Awesome…and the lyrics means so much to me. If the world could understand then it will not be just Earth – it will be simply Heaven on Earth!

Hey! long time and I had not listened to Tamil songs, but the crowd here just making me fall in LOVE once again.

Anything creative is highly appreciated by me and I do respect every musician for their talent.

Good guys, keep posting and I will surely listen.
I picked it as my fav. just for the lyrics and the sound of guitar. Good luck all the way.

Subbu – glad i followed Anup here. Thought this to be very good work from you- and the sax added that extra charm to the piece.(The looping beats reminded me of Do dil mil rahe hai.) Whatever i could make out from the lyrics (i admit, i couldnt crack all of it!) was good too. You surely are talented, Subbu – so when is the release of this piece?

Bala (composer/producer) said

I remember checking this our long back. I am surprised by the fact that I have not left a comment!

This is a beautiful piece. The theme makes it divine! I like the chords progression more than the tune. The santham sounds more like the classic MSV’s style: for example “paal irkkum pazham irukkum”. The santham for the first line of this song repeats throughout the song with different tunes. So Basically, you can sing the lyrics of the first line for all the subsequent line of the song!

Keep it up!
