Ok....back again......as I said I am gonna write something..here I go.....The first person I got on my mind is Ilayaraja... the music maestro and the living legend.....I just wanted to write and say more about his work....(though every music lover know about him)..but still I want to talk about his music and share my views about the songs he composed...
Ok now.. tell me which song u like the most composed by raja sir......hmmmm..yep we can't tell one single song... almost every song...I listen lot of tamil songs composed by raja..though I don't understand the lyrics.. but the tunes are awesome...I remember the days when I first listened to his compostion from the movie "Sitakokachiluka"... "mate mantramu manse.....i was just amused with the sound....Infact I had seen movies in late 80s and 90s in which the music is composed by raja sir.. just for his name sake...and u remember the background score for the movies like "Gharshana","Gitanjali","Shiva"..there are so many to list...trust me I have all the audio clips of the background music of these movies....hats of to Ilairaja sir......and we all pray and wish that raja sir contribute more to the film industry with his splendid movie..oh ok......have u listened to "Nonthing but wind" and "How to name it"..if not just get them...it's so good...
