Old is Gold - I can never be away from Raja's songs :)

Old is Gold - I can never b... Lyrics & Chords

Can I ever do that? No way. Missed singing his songs for a long time now. So ‘Ragadeva’ here remembering your early days in the field. You were stupendous and blew us away with some unimaginable stunning numbers. One such brilliant composition from Kavikuyil, sung by ganakuyil SJ. Am sure, I did not do 100% justice to this song. Narambu Pudaika than padine :). After this song, my vocals chords have gone for a toss. I know where mistakes are, unfortuntely cannot redo because voice has gone bad :(. Will take all your pointers and redo sometime later.

Such a high range and SJ has sung so effortlessly. Envy such ‘athmas’. Dedicating this to all Raja fans.

Song: Kuyile Kavikuyile
Singer: S. Janaki
Movie: Kavikuyil
MD: Maestro Ilayaraja
Lyrics: Panju Arunachalam
Ragam: Abheri/Hindustani Bhimplas (somebody pls clarify this)

Please bear my voice shrilling at some places. Couldn’t help it :(

To be very honest, I vaguely remember having listened to the original… But as u have briefed in the preamble about ur struggle to cope up with the range, you are spared from facing the music… :P I could see you straining very much which eventually has strangled the sweetness flowing in all your renditions… Nuances were very good but could have been fine-tuned… Lemme listen to the original… Original song ah enakku mail paNNidu… :-) Commendable effort, indeed….
Thanks & Regards,
RAJ

Very nice singing, Subha. Lovely voice! Sorry paatu romba theriyaadu but have heard it ages back somewhere… Superb that you could manage this pitch, some strain was caused- take a break on the voice now… :-)
Keep it up!

Nice choice Subhashini…thanks for reviving this…

Just thought a reduced pitch might have done wonders, seems like this is really high for you ( infact anyone I guess :P)

Some of your brigas were very well done… kudos!

First of all, to attempt this song at this pitch -Man….very brave of you indeed. Your voice still sounds lovely at this pitch albeit a little strained…Some sangathis were very nice…
Excellent song choice.
