Well said buddy, and I think you are not alone. I think you might as well be speaking for most of the group. I feel the same way. Most of his tracks, old and new, are just beyond explanation. I really can not explain how I feel when I listen to these tracks. There were times, many times, when I felt that Rahman could not get any better than this, but time again I was proven wrong, and I gave up. I had the same question in my mind, how does he do it? After wasting a lot of time trying to figure that out, I have realized that it is not just one thing that makes him what he is. I have read and contributed to discussions regarding this. But never are we able to come to conclusion as to how Rahman does it. Some say it is his knowledge of western music and indian music, others say it is his technical genius, while others say his style, his instrumentation, his interludes that keep the ears glued, his team, his spirituality, his humility, etc..etc.. the list can go on forever. I gave up on the thought of how he accomplishes what he does. It is pointless, since there is no one answer for that question. So, now I just purely and immensely enjoy his unexplainable, unaccessible, unmeasurable, unaccustomed, unadulterated, undersold, underrated work, without worrying about how he does it. I might sound crazy or obsessed but, I feel Rahman makes music for me. Although I have only seen him once live, in concert. I feel I know him and he knows me, that is why he produces music that quenches my soul, time and another.
Sorry for the long message, I got carried away there. May God bless Rahman and May God bless All Ameen. --- In [email protected], "Ajit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I keep listening to his songs old and new, in Tamil and in Hindi, > and I want to bang my head sometimes.
