The 'Oh my love, you are my sweetheart' portion in kAviriyE must be an IR fav. He repeated it in the 'kaisE kahen' of Siva 2006...

app,

Thanks for the links. I just heard both. Now I can recall hearing 'kaviriye' earlier. Especially the English portions

I have heard 'varudhu varudhu'. As thumburu says it is a lovely song with a dash of Hamsadhwani. Lovely interludes. Wonder how I missed this lovely song earlier. Thanks to thumburu for bringing this up.

பூமாலை ஒரு பாவை ஆனதோ?
(தங்க மகன், எஸ்பிபி / ஜானகி, ரஜினிகாந்த் / பூர்ணிமா ஜெயராமன் )

This song is more like a 'kadhambam' than a 'poomAlai' (typically made of one flower)

Starts with a strong bass guitar / cymbal crash / keyboard sounds followed by majestic MGR'ish trumpet / horn sounds. (I think all this wind-instrument grandeur was a Sathya movies demand to Raja). Raja freaks out in the prelude / interlude / postludes mixing all kinds of genres / instruments / change of pace etc.

SPB / SJ also possibly got a free hand and sing in a way slightly uncharacteristic for a Raja song, enjoying themselves and not worrying about getting "disciplined"

The most enjoyable sounds to me are a) the background for the pallavi (chords / bass / jazzy drum sound - rattling the cymbals etc). b) the sudden northie style tabla - claps in 1st interlude combined with qawwalish singing by SJ as a dialog with sweet lead guitar c) ending part of the 2nd interlude where wind instruments sound quite majestic, much like the third interlude of iLamai idhO idhO, followed by a non-percussion + guitar backgrounded start to second saraNam, very sweet!

Current MDs can probably build 5 songs out of this one IR number

பேய்களை நம்பாதே பிஞ்சுலே வெம்பாதே .... கமல ஹாசன் with ராகம் நாட்டை ambience from மகாநதி.

சொல்லாத ராகங்கள் என்னென்ன.....lovely டூயட்
light, airy, smooth பாலா & lilting ஜானு.

மகாநதி is a classical delight from Ilayaraja for Kamalahaasan.
vinatha.
