Let
us deal with a masterpiece composition
from the (Keladi Kanmani
Paadagan Sangathi - Puthu Puthu
Arthangal) K.Balachander - Ilayaraja
- Vaali - SPB factory.
What is so special about this
song to write on? It is the
situation. A duet or a peppy
or even a pathos won’t
do justice for this kind of
situation. First let us see
the situation before going into
the song.
Situation:
Absolutely
frustrated in life, Rahman
goes on a journey
|
|
|
 |
|
without
knowing the destination. On the way he gets
introduced to Sithara A nice relationship
blossoms between them which makes Rahman
very happy especially when he is yearning
for a person with whom he can share his
past life burdens.
At this type of scenario a song should perfectly
suit Rahman’s state of mind i.e. a
blend of his present happiness and the past
bitterness. As said already it can be neither
duet nor pathos. See Raja’s magic
here, the song should have poignancy but
at the same time it should not sound completely
pathos like Oorai Therinchukitten or Raaja
Enbaar Manithiri Enbaar and here we also
need to mention Vaali’s lyrics which
captures Rahman’s life in just two
lines |
|
|
|
The
garland I proffered did not spread fragrance
But you are the jasmine who blossomed for
me
|
|
| And
here comes the classic lines |
|
 |
|
A
lasting burden rests with my heart
You are the Stonehenge I seek
My withering times are around your chest
You are the mother who lullabies me
|
|
Finally
above all SPB's rendition makes the song as
one in a million composition!.
Thanks and regards,
Vijay.
