Paarijaatha Poove

This song is perhaps the one with longest WIP status in my Inbox. LOL

Shrinesh and I started working on this song back in Nov’08. There have been atleast half-a-dozen attempts from each side to complete it, resulting in utter failure due to track issues, technical glitches, flaws in singing and what not! Finally, we decided to beat it to death and end the long wait with some persistence!

Movie: En Raasaavin Manasula

Music: Ilayaraaja

Originally sung by: S.N.Surendar, K.S.Chithra


I love this song for 2 reasons. One is the very funny picturisation where a cute, bright girl is singing this duet with a silly but sincere young boy. IR has aptly used S.N.Surendar’s voice to bring out the innocent voice to suit the brash(but asadu) teenage lover on screen. Chithra sounds as sweet as ever!


The second reason is the unfailing tune. IR has used a similar tune in 3 different songs during just about the same time period and all were super hits. I would like to make a medley out of it someday if someone tried to finish the third song, as I have done the other one in the string! :) Do give it a try and you will know exactly what I am talking about :)


Naan sirithaal Deepaavali – Paarijaatha Poove – Oh Party nalla Party thaan(Idhayam)

Shrini and I have sung a couple of duets long ago and I am so happy to be singing with him again :) He has done a very nice job in this one as always and “underplayed” deliberately to suit the song sequence! He has also done the mixing.

Beautiful attempt and the sing-together has come out really well. Good job Shrinesh and Adithi.

Shrinesh, I am unable to pin-point, but the opening (very first line of the song) had a pronunciation problem I think. Very subtle though.

Adithi,
I did not realize Naan Sirithal and Party Nalla Party Dhaan. How about Adi Vaanmathi song from Siva?

Adithi said...

Hmm, yes, Sathesh! But notice the change in raagam in the last line of the pallavi of "Adi vaanmathi"? Also in the charanams...hence does not fit in rightly in the string. But the tune is very much the same :)

Thanks for visiting :)
