HJ & his melodies

[kamarajc]

Hi dinesh2002, I liked the pun in your posting. I am not much interesting in relating a song to some old song of another MD. Most of the time, such findings are biased. I agree that HJ is not able to make a big difference in his work when compared to ARR and that he was trying to ape ARR. But it has been 5 years and he is evolving with his own style now.

My listing was only of melodious songs of HJ. Overall, I have a different choice and order. Cheers.. :P

Mohalai Mohalai Mohalai Moha-lai lai lai

What a song by Harris. First the dainty guitar bits (or whatever the knowledgeable would refer them as) followed by the Mohalai bit followed again by the same guitar bits and then

Manadhil siru siru siru siru mazhai thuLi vizhugiradhE
....

If the prelude was awesome, the interludes are delightful. The first interlude contains some harmonium (?) piece followed by superb mixture of claps and other guitar bits.

And then comes this sweet two-line stuff:

kann simittum nErathilE
minnalena thondrum thondrum

The second interlude is filled with delighful and idiosyncratic HJ stuff, specifically some chorus mouthing sillilai etc.

Finally the song fades off slowly with

Mohalai sillilai Mohalai sillilai .....

Well done, HJ. What have you up your sleeve for Anniyan? Let us see.

Anniyan audio hits the market today.

It would also be interesting to hear the music of Vettaiaadu........

Sure.. HJ has some real interesting projects in hand... Apart from 'Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu'... 'Ghajini' is also highly expected. 2003 was a great year for HJ. Hope he will fare better in 2005. And, Anniyan is his first album in 2005.

Any idea about the lyricist for VV? Gautham - HJ - Thamarai combo did a magic in Kaaka Kaaka.. hope they continue in VV also.
