35. Aayarpaadi Maaligaiyil - Melodious and blissful Krishna Gaanam

As few of you already know and follow the daily Sri Aandal Paasurams  in English : http://timeisthemaster.blogspot.in/  and in Tamil :http://kalathinkatalai.blogspot.in/ I'm compiling during this month of Maargazhi .. while completing the post for day 5.. i got reminded of a lovely rendering of one and only SPB composed by Late M S V written by Kaviyarasu Kannadasan - yes the anthem of Krishna songs in Tamil  "Sri Krishna Gaanam." -"Aayar paadi Maligayil"

Sri Krishna Gaanam, is said to be a stand alone track which does not feature in any movies. This was recorded for an audio company in a very short span of time right from the composition to the lyrics and recording. were done in few hours is what I'm informed from an interview .Every song is a gem and a master piece. Its a standing example of excellence at work. The whole album, has around eight songs rendered by the leading artists ..the album follows through a grammar .Each and every song captures various stories as metaphors from Srmad Bagavada and Mahabharatha ..any one who listens to these songs is sure to have goose bumps for two reasons one for the music whether you understand the language or not and other for the meaningful and soulful lyrics when you understand the language, Here is a quick short note on each of the song, as  I always say this is an attempt of a layman to write upon a glorious piece of work and description is subjected to limitedness of my awareness and not of the great work rendered by the legends.

01.Guruvayooruku Vaarungal - sung by Smt P Susheela .. the song captivates the day to day events of Guruvayoor and one can experience the Guruvayoor seeveli by listening to the song..the fragrance of ghee and warmth will fill the air when the singer chants Narayana - Narayana- Hari Hari Narayana Narayana.

02.Pullanguzhal Kodutha Moongilgaley - Sung By TMS..one of the very famous songs of the album .. highlights the beauty of Lord Krishna with a metaphors of nature and alikes..! simply astounding

03.Gopiyarey Gopiyarey - Sung by Smt L R Eswari, is a lively folk - gummi paatu which calls the damsel of Ayarpadi to sing and dance praising Lord Krishna in various forms..it captures various miracles performed by Sri Krishna in Aayarpaadi

04.Aayarpaadi Maaligaiyil - Sung by S PB-- which was the beginning point of this post..once the play list started .. i felt the entire album is wonderful that it would be unfair to just pick only one song..A lovely lullaby which must have drawn me to doze has kindled me to blog about the whole album...

05. Gokulathil Oru Naal Raadhai : Sung by Smt P Susheela again a song highlighting romance and Oodal between the lovers. The song is elevated to the greatest level with the amazing tabla work and narration written by Kaviyarasar


06. Gokulathil Pasukal ellam : Sung by Smt S Janaki.. highlights the abundance in Ayarpaadi because of lord krishna...

07.Kothayin Thirupaavai :  Sung by Sri Veeramani is song welcoming Lord Krishna and narrates the beauty of Lord Krishna's arrival with set of metaphors of nature and instances of Srimad Bagavada and Mahabharatha

08.Amarajeevitham Swami Amudha Vaahanam: Sung by MSV himself and what a way to wrap up the album with divine OM lingering through out in Mridangam and takes to a level of serenity..At the outset if one listens it would appear like a random sprinkling of lyrics across the song but its actually  a well written chain of sanskrit verses customized in Tamil album

In Short, this is the anthem of Sri Krishna songs in Tamil and has been invariably part of all Sri Krishna Jayanthi celebrations all around and considering the age of the song and it remains as young and lively its for sure it would be there forever for another century.

Sarvam Krishnaarpanam.!!! 

025 :moongil ilai kadugaley - melody beyond times

"Moongil ilai kaadugaley - muthu malai megangaley" - lovely song from `penmani aval kanmani' movie one of the lovely songs of Tamil Cinema- sung by Smt Vani Jayaram & One and Only SPB. Based on the shades of Raga Ranjani, this is one of my all time favourite songs

017 : SPB and Illayaraja Magical combo hit.. Nizhalgal

016 : 2 Classical - Unforgetable Melodies of Illayaraja SPB Duo..

007 : Magical Duo - IR & SPB

Magical Duo - IR & SPB "We all know "Annakili" 1976 was the first movie by raja, and many would even know the famous anecdote associated with the first recoding when Ilayaraja went ahead to record his first song power tripped off. Then recording was bad. Then when everything went on well and he wanted to listen to the song, to his shock. he discovered that the recordists did not run the tape and the song was not recorded. IR told that he felt that's the end of his career but we know what happened later . Now here is a the question, What was the first song by SPB in Raja's Music ? Answer in the next para.

A memorable anecdote an accident that bonded friend ship further

Anecdote associated with the movie and song: (Source) Raja was invited to compose for a film called UYIR. Bala and a few others sang and recorded 4 songs under Raja’s composition. The film never materialised. Then came Annakili. Bala and Raja were among the thickest of friends. However, when Annakili came by, Raja could not impose on using Bala. It was Raja’s debut and Panju had all the say. Raja was interested in breaking through. But when URAVADUM NENJAM was in the making, Raja made sure Bala was in. In an attempt to honour his close friend, Raja wanted to make sure he composed a song that would be cherished by both the composer and the singer. Remember the title of the film is also URAVADUM NENJAM. So Ilayaraja centered all his energy, effort and imagination to compose what would ever remain as one of the best songs for a best friend of his. Likewise, SP Bala too made sure he sang with much feeling. S. Janaki too followed suit. The lyrics were by Panju Arunasalam.The song, especially the orchestration was something unknown to many fans of Tamil film music. It is mentioned that the violinists found it really difficult to play the orchestration . Ilayaraja told Bala that the film would run for 100 days on the strength of the song. Raja proposed, but the moviegoers disposed. The film became an utter failure- commercially. However, the song became immortalised.The story did not end there. It was on the lips of Bala for a long time. Every time Bala entered the recording studio, he used to sing to himself or hum this song. And Raja used to immediately respond, “ Naama Ennnumo Nenachom, Padam Odalaiye daa” (These two friends called each other “vaada poda.”) (from one of IR’s interviews) Click here to Listen

"Oru Naal Unnodu Oru Naal" from Uravadum Nenjam, is the first song sung by SPB for Raja,

001 Sangeethamaey Sannidhi: Tamil Song - Agaram ippo Sigaram aachu

001 Sangeethamaey Sannidhi

Tamil Song  -அகரம் இப்போ சிகரம் ஆச்சு

This song from the movie called "Sigaram"..and music was rendered by One and Only SPB...with Yesudas singing this song...which are truly inspiring.....

இப்பாடல் வரிகள் எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த வரிகள் ....நம்பிக்கையே நல்லது..எறும்புக்கும் வாழ்க்கை உள்ளது

அகரம் இப்போ சிகரம் ஆச்சு தகரம் இப்போ தங்கம் ஆச்சு
காட்டு மூங்கில் பாட்டுப் பாடும் புல்லாங்குழலாச்சு
சங்கீதமே சந்நிதி !!! சந்தோஷம் சொல்லும் சங்கதி!!!!

கார்காலம் வந்தாலென்ன கடுங்கோடை வந்தாலென்ன
மழைவெள்ளம் போகும்; கரை ரெண்டும் வாழும்
காலங்கள் போனாலென்ன கோலங்கள் போனாலென்ன
பொய்யன்பு போகும் மெய்யன்பு வாழும்

அன்புக்கு உருவம் இல்லை
பாசத்தில் பருவம் இல்லை
வானோடு முடிவும் இல்லை
வாழ்வோடு விடையும் இல்லை

இன்றென்பது உண்மயே நம்பிக்கை ஒன்றே நன்மையே !!!!

தண்ணீரில் மீன்கள் வாழும் கண்ணீரில் காதல் வாழும்
ஊடல்கள் எல்லாம் தேடல்கள் தானே
பசியாறப் பார்வை போதும்
பரிமாற வார்த்தை போதும்
கண்ணீரில் பாதி காயங்கள் ஆறும்
தலைசாய்க்க இடமா இல்லை தலைகோத விரலா இல்லை
இளங்காற்று வரவா இல்லை இளைப்பாறு பரவாயில்லை

நம்பிக்கையே நல்லது எறும்புக்கும் வாழ்க்கை உள்ளது!!!!
