Thene thenpaaNdi meenE

Movie: Udhayageetham
Composer : Ilaiyaraja
Singer : SPB
Lyrics : Vaali

Performed by : Murali

One of the lullabies I have cherished while growing up. Tried it my way. I wonder what % of SPB 's silkiness did I manage to capture. BTW, most of the songs I am posting here have been done quite a while bakc say 2 to 3 yrs easily..these days I hardly get time to sit and sing karaokes. hmm..

mama...super aa irukku da..this is the first time i'm listenin to this song..is the scale a touch low for you???

That it was recorded 2-3 yrs ago shows.... Your voice is quite different yet it's the same if you know what I mean (-:

Your improv's in most places where I was expecting the typical SPB sangathis to fall kinda took me by surprise. For instance, "raaja nee dhaan.... " was well done, differently from the original.

Any more nostalgic recordings??

vjanand said...

Wonderful Murali! First time I was really paying more attention to Vaali's lyrics and it is deep...

Btw, I'm seeing that you are releasing your old recordings one by one. So, for the benefit of humanity (in general) and fellow commentors here, I'm going to come to your apartment, dig up all your MP3s and post it here! What do you say?

Haha..JK :)

Keep releasing! --Vijay.

Listening this song for the first time. A nice tune and you sung it very well. :-)

Radhika said...

Every song has your "Murali" stamp on it no matter how much you admire the original singers/rendition of the song...
Will continue to listen and enjoy....

Ajit said...

Well sung!.. Sounds very much like the original!!.. Managed to capture the essence of the song quite well I should say!.. Very niiice!

Murali said...

thanks to all you folks. Let me see how much I can sustain this blog by posting my old recordings :)

anup : ya the scale is a little low for me.

meera : there are a few. I will share them here.

vj : if you can do that, I will be happy. I seem to have hardly any time these days with academics coming to a close :)

radhika : I hope the 'stamp' you are talking is not a convenient approximation to the original :) thanks.

Very well sung Murali...I somehow missed this last week.

Such a simple soothing song! You've done a remarkable job. Why don't you sing it again.!! Would like to see how you've graduated in your singing abilities.! :)
