Ok. I felt that AR was reciting it because the lyricist sort of wanted the lyrics to be included forcefully.At first few listens, I didnt enjoy that section of the song and then kind of got used to it.
Another example that immediately comes to mind was Snegidhane from Alaipayuthe. The starting portion which goes 'Netru mun iravil'. Another example from the same Alaipayuthe ..Yaro Yarodi ( chalka chlaka ) comes at 1:07 where the lines are hardly audible. the lines sounded something like 'igi bole ... inthiranar panthadika..' After that the understandable portion would be 'Santhapottu Azhagiyaum'.the two lines in between were hard to understand.The problem was not the music or heavey intsruments but sort of inappopriate tamil words picked for the tune. Anyways, I always respect your opinion Fani and happy to have your views on this topic. --- In [email protected], fani kalyan <rythmdivine2...@...> wrote: > > Dude..the meter is perfect..yeh hes reciting only..theres hardly any tune for > the lyrics > > --- On Tue, 7/13/10, raj <arr_naga...@...> wrote: > > From: raj <arr_naga...@...> > Subject: Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans... > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, July 13, 2010, 12:28 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > > > Sorry I should have been lot more specific. > > In ella pughazum, the place where AR sings 'Manavan manadhu vaithal mudiyathu > enbathu illai...Kadal pol malai pol..' it comes around 3:02. > > > > The words appear more forced almost like reciting and looked to me at times > it has been included becos the lyricist asked to. > > > > --- In [email protected], fani kalyan <rythmdivine2001@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Raj,the usage of L instead of U is deliebrate just for the sound of L and > > not because it doesn't fit, and whats with ella pugazum? > > > --- On Mon, 7/12/10, raj <arr_nagaraj@> wrote: > > > > > > From: raj <arr_nagaraj@> > > > Subject: Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans... > > > To: [email protected] > > > Date: Monday, July 12, 2010, 9:56 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > à> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > True Phani..thats one small place where I would love to see change > > from AR's side.
