ARR's pathways to Philosophy

T H E M A N - T H E M U S I C - T H E M A G I C

I have been listening to the following songs repeatedly as a mere check to the thread's title in TFM (ARR as a singer). Literally bowled over' A variety of excellent pick (never before):

1. Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tera (Swades/Desam) : Patriotism (Revered Call for NRI's)
2. Ararai Kodi Pergalil Oruvan (Ah..Aah): Ethnicity (Thanks giving)
3. Lukka Chuppi (Rang De Basanthi) : Mothers sentiment (Conversational type)
4. NewYork Nagaram (SOK) : Loneliness (A Fresh westernish attempt).

ARR has been vigilant & successful in bringing these emoticons in a right perspective with lots of innovations "ho hoi – chorus a kinda grief feel", "an encouraging kids chorus a.aah, mother-son alaap (sons death) LC & male- female chorus (Rememberance). The involvement (orchestration) he puts in his own tracks is spellbounding and very much obvious in the form of an extended instrumental Shehnai version, Intro/Lead Song . When I say "involvement" Its doesn’t mean that he selfishly reserves the best tracks nor pays less attention to other songs. (New talents are still introduced for potential movies & the tracks like TBBataye, Roobaroo, MVaa , Mayiliragae, Innisai, PPB,HHIPY Instrumental are experimental & superior as well) . His musical journey has a motivation depicting each and every attributes of human nature in a pure form. Now I wonder who decides the situation of a track or ARR himself gels deep and workout an appropriate point to describe his thinking. NYN for Surya is another perfect example. It is like a mix of Secular & Modern humanim he introduces into his composition everytime. As a proof he himself is a clean, ego-less, awesome personality who stick to his composition what it signifies. Disappointing such a great soulful singer(composer) haven't been noticed yet by the award juries where he has entered millions of hearts&minds with the other lead favourite singers.

This comprises only 2004-06 songs & Strictly Not for branded Inveterate :) I have purposely ignored JGM, Azaadi, TVT (GF) are similar to the above genres & AMMoula, Zikhr are religious & Khalbali, Fanaah songs are entertaining which I a feel odd for the above discussion.)
