Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tera (Swade... Lyrics & Chords
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Singers: A.R. Rahman
Released on: September 24, 2004
Cover: Vijay Iyer
Mind-blowing composition and rendition from ARR. And I can’t get enough of the tabla and shehnai follow up towards the end portions.
Here goes another attempt at this brilliant composition !
Thanks Muzibooians for all feedback in the previous post.

=== Comments from previous post. ===
Phani Phani saidVijay …let me be very sincere…u’ve lost sur at most places in the song and except for the resound in ur song (like the original, which u must have made up through mixing) its not tht appealing and the ending looks quite funny :P….u can improve
=====
Dr. priya Rajan saidVijay — simply superb voice.
Well noted the write up. Other than the end as u say the table and shehnai, other places were fine for me. Anyway i am sure there are areas for improvement and you will surely do it in future renditions.
Keep posting more.
MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Sreeharshan Nambiar Pro user saidVijay ….this was really a brave attempt at this difficult composition….so hats off to you for that. Sur needs more control and I personally dont like nasal influence …you could work on that.
Other than that this is one of your better uploads….5/5 from me. Keep practising …

Shampak Chakravorty saidVery nice Attempt Vijay….
I liked it…. I don’t compltely agree with Phani Phani…. Yes I agree about control over Sur…. But its appealing…. Your tone matched very well with ARR…. You have quite a lot in you only needs some professional polishing…… Good work…. You have improved a lot…. Keep it up….
Regards,
Shampak.

Sudha – on a ca trip…. Kumar Pro user saidHi Vijay,
Very good attempt of a tough song. Agree with the sur pointers mentioned above. Also try to sing in your own natural voice – it will sound much better with more practice…
Keep singing and sharing,
Sudha

Aj Is active on muziboo again!!!! Pro user saidVijay,
I am about to give my honest comments as usual :) I hope you will take them in right spirits.
You need to curve ur rendition up a bit….I’m sorry but its very flat now……a lot of places in the mukhda, ur voice cracked which is not good and not very appealing….if its too high then lower the sur a bit, probably half or one note lower……I want to appreciate ur brave attempt but do not strain ur vocal chords this way as it can get worse by straining so much……Also were you forcing the nasal a bit in this one? I know nasal singing can make you reach the highest sur but sometimes it can be less appealing……
Also the vocal quality of the low and the higher notes could be smoothened out as sometimes it sounded like 2 people have sung it:) But indeed, ur lower registers in this song were very good……
Mixing wise, I think u could do good with little less reverb. Its too much now so need to cut down on that.
Apart from these, good effort, but could be 100 times better with more effort and practice.
I would refrain to rate this one. Thanks for your scribble.
Regards,
Rahul/AJ

Priya B saidHi Vijay….very good attempt….like your throw!!
Liked this song in your voice !!
Cheers,

Pradip Somasundaran Pro user saidVijay, there were some good parts and some very very bad parts in your singing. Focus on the bad parts and do improve on your drawbacks. If a singer cannot recognise where he/she went wrong and always needs the help of others to know about the weakness/strengths he/she has then that’s not going to help you in the long run. Improvement comes only with realisation of what you are and what you can or cannot. Once you acquire this skill, you will never post a bad take.

Nithya Bayya Pro user saidvijay: most people have covered areas of improvement. :) very nice attempt i must say. you have a nice voice :) a little polishing would do the rest…. plus with recording, you have the ability to always go for multiple takes… keep repeating until you feel satisfied with the tune :)
=====
Vijay Iyer Pro user saidThanks Harry and Nithya for the feedback. I want to try this again and give it another good shot ! :-)

Balamurali Balu Pro user saidNice rendition Vijay. You could have made your vocals a little brighter. Barring a few glitches, this is definitely a good work. Keep singing!

Sowmya R Pro user saidVijay, Really liked your open throated singing, very good voice texture – Yeah try it another time to hit the right spots, good mixing will help you to get a better output og ur effort ! Keep singing :)

Vijay Iyer Pro user saidThanks Bala and Sowmya ! Appreciate the feedback :-)
Thanks,
-Vijay

George Kuruvilla Pro user saidHi Vijay,
First off a very good pick. Tough song to sing. Biggest problem in this is that its very very robotic. I cant feel any emotion. Sounds like you were too focussed on getting the notes right. Feel is equally important and I felt that was lacking. I think you should try this again.

Hi bro
You sound really good.
There are lot of off pitches.
I think before singing just practice some stretching in singing so that it is in sync with the pitch.
Mind that it really help full
Cheers dude all the best for your future endeavours

Murali Venkatraman said
Hello Vijay,
You had scribbled me a while back to listen to this. Was away from muziboo (And still am). The best aspect of your rendition is open-throatedness. Actually, you don’t seem to have much of problem in the in the ending notes of each line. The place where you have problems are in between when there is a fast transition in swaras. For example “jaye to kis disha mein jaaye”. The only way to remove such uncertainties is to listen more of what you are singing over and over and sing multiple takes. Thanks for your message.
Vijay (away...) Iyer said
thanks Murali sir for that elaborate comment….Apprecite it !
Regards,
-Vijay
