With your two eyes

No i wasn't trying to hit bull's eye with an attractive title here, just a bit too lazy to think of a title for this post. Translation of the two words the song starts with...... Thought it was apt for the song i'm gonna talk about.

Kangal irandal - a new song from the movie Subramaniyapuram, has been on a loop on my system for the last couple of days since last week. Its a brilliantly composed song and well sung, all credits to the male and the female voices (supposedly their debut). James vasanthan, the only anchor on tamil TV channels that i know of, who speaks unblemished tamil, is the composer.

The song had me mesmerized since the first time that i listened to it. Such captivating orchestration and amazingly soothing lyrics that blend together, melts your heart like creamy ice cream.....No points for guessing what i'm listening to at this moment, as this post is taking life........



P.S. : Learnt that this song is on a raaga called reethigowla (carnatic purists, beg your pardon if i didn't spell that right :) ), there have been songs before composed using this raaga. here's the list....

1. Chinna kannan azhaikkiran - kavikkuyil by Ilayaraja
2. Thalayai kuniyum thamaraiye - By ilayaraja
3. Azhagana ratchasiye - Mudhalvan by AR Rahman
4. Meetadha oru veenai - Poonthottam by Ilayaraja
