Karthik does a fine job in this cool composition. The oboe portions following the vocal lines as if in conversation in the charanam connect me to Aruna Kirana from Guru.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. That has been my reaction right from the pallavi for this song. Not sure when he is going to end the vocals, when the instruments are going to take over, the sax dialog with the singing in the charanam, the sudden flight of the strings. This must be a composition of a 20yr old guy. What energy, what fun. Just check how when the singer says 'sutrum bhoomi nirkka sonnen' (want the rotating earth to stop) the brass actually mimics the rotation of the earth !!! Rajasaranam wrote some bad words on twitter since he didn't know how else to appreciate the songI am in the same state. Just this song is worth the CD cost.

If this were 1980s and Ilaiyaraaja came up with Kaatre Konjum... then it ideally would have gone to Yesudas, for a Balu Mahendra film.
The wind instrument interplay with vocals in the saraNam gives some 'uRavukaL thodarkadhai' feel, just a little pacier...Originally Posted by aakarsh
Thalaiva. Awesomeness. Overflowing Joy when listening to the charanam.
Aaha aaha arputham! Pinching myself if it is real.
Chord progression throughout (additional layer of ambience) especially during pallavi.
Sax communication during pallavi is just heavenly.
At the end of pallavi the string section plays a different high taking to a different melody altogether.
Heavenly and magical interludes. Sax dominate first interlude and that magical pause followed by oboe.
The conversation of sax with vocal in charanam.
In the second interlude, the female choir, mesmerizing flute and sax following the choir.
As the charanam peaks up, sax follows it dilligently, superb.
Most important, beautiful tune and superb melody. Very Nice singing by Karthik.
This is not all, just the tip of iceberg after my first listen. Waiting to listen in Audio CD.
The amount of layering, structuring and the detail went into this composition and the care taken at every second makes me wonder that this is called a composition and others are just songs. This is what I call as composing, a composition and a composer. What an energy at 69! Does he not know the pulse of youth? Does he not know the current pulse of city life? He is always there, you guys forgot him. Your biggest miss of your life time, if you are not listening to him.
Thanks a lot RS and aakarsh for sharing.Day suddenly became brighter.
