I think I was in 6th std that time. I went to see Vaidegi kaaththirundhaaL with my mom and grandpa. This was the opening song of the movie. Made me an instant addict to Jeyachandran's voice - an effect I have never been able to recover from that, I started a series on dhool about Jayachandran to hail his rare songs:

Today as a humble tribute to this melody giant, I present my version of Rasaathi unna. As usual it was dug out from the 3yr old archives. The karaoke was much faster than the original that, at one point it made me go breathless (ya..most of my songs are 1 take recording from the first to the last). You can find it too. Let me know if you guys like it.

ReplyDeletecool song murali... i like this one a lot...jeyachandran has that magical voice... amazing song..enjoyed it..
ReplyDeleteExcept it being a li'l noisy, very nice Murali. Taking into account the fact that you've done it in one shot, brilliant!
ReplyDeletehey murali
ReplyDeletethe recording does not do justice to your voice dude. nee inge vaa apparam jam panallam!!
take care
u now who from dallas
Hey Murali,
ReplyDeletewow! hadn't heard this in such a long time.. lovely song..lovely rendition but am not sure if the recording was upto ur usual standards ..but that didn't matter :) enjoyed it!
Keep posting such lovely old melodies :)
Murali:
ReplyDeleteIndha paattellam romba naal aachu kettu. It is nice to hear you sing them and especially for this song, your voice suits very well.
As TK mentioned, "Mangai Oru Gangai Ena" dhaan original lyrics. But your "Mangai Oru Gangai Nadhi" version is also cute. I did'nt think that karaoke was running that fast as this song itself is a fast paced song. Again, it all suited well and song came out excellent as always.
Thanks for bringing back memories of such golden days!
Nalini.
ps: Unga autograph kidaikuma?
Aaha..romba pramaadham, Murali. When you think about this song, you feel it is slow but actually this is not a slow number and you did great. I think you have lot of good ones in your archive. Give us access to your archives :-)
ReplyDeleteOther than the voice wavering a little bit here and there and the very loud volume of the voice track(since the gain is so high the voice track overshoots the peak level and distorts) excellent effort from your heart, considering that your main forte is music direction. But I think that since you have a very good voice and a natural ability to sing bhrigas, you should seriously consider to polish your singing skills as I am sure that with basic training and regular practice you could control your bhrigas and voice better. Also please give due attention to your voice level as you have a natural, gifted high gain voice which needs careful tweaking on the mixer. Just technical issues.
ReplyDeletebut these tips would transform your voice to new levels! Murali, I do want to hear you singing more, but more seriously! I am writing all this as I believe you have sung extremely well and I want you to be serious and polish your God given gift! You are no ordinary amateur!
Murali, Thanks for this treat dude. I am sure the recording is not doing justice to your voice. and I am not sure if its my phones here, I feel that the voice is more cracky and the usual crispness is missing. And when you find time, sing it again and re-record. I am sure your voice and skills have improved over the last 3 years..:). If possible, can you send me the Karaoke to krish12@gmail.com..Thanks dude.
ReplyDeleteMurali ..
ReplyDeleteused to like this song a lot..hearing it after a very longgg time .. you have sung it very well..me -not so worried abt the bgm or recording ,, ur voice n the way you have sung it - too good !!

Nice work Murali. I think the voice needs to blend in more with the BGM. That's all.

Pradip:
It has been almost a curse in my life that I have never had a chance to sit with a guru and learn it the traditional way. Somehow I have not been blessed for that and do not know why. Your comments are much appreciated. I have been hunting for a guru for quite sometime. Hopefully he will grip me and correct me.
MS sooper. Karoke track is too good.
ReplyDeleteFirst stanza is much better than the second one.
Wow!! Excellent work...Romba feel agi paadirukeenga ;) Nice work!! Why not try Nila Kaaygiradhu from INDHRA. I feel you would sound just great for that song... Its just a suggestion. Would love to hear you sing that song. Aravindh swamy....Hmmm Voice Suite aagum..Give it a try plz :)

ReplyDeleteHear a recent (2004) song by Jayachandran, "Keranrakal" from Jalolsavam. I guess, he defies age...
Hi Murali,
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite songs too:) You have sung extremely well..
Keep it up..
Best wishes,
Srividya
I could not see the breathlessness, but I am sure it was difficult! That is another exercise the a singer needs to do…’how to breath and when to breath’…I my self have to learn that also. I like the tune, sung it well!!
