Kangal Irandaal (cover)

Kangal Irandaal from Subramanyapuram is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in the recent times. I never get tired listening to this song over and over again because there is some kind of innocence and beauty about this song which I cannot really put in to words. And the singers have brought out very good emotions in the song. The karaoke track had Deepa Mirium’s vocals in it and I added just the male vocals part. Another duet version of this is coming up soon. (Thanks to Rosh for the track)

Jaaneman Jaaneman

It has been a long time since I have sung a song with Vidyu, who is an amazing singer and one of the very few people whom I met through Internet in the initial days of music blogging. Our first original duet, Mella Mella - which was done for Blogswara, still remains at the top of all Blogswara albums (BTW, did I tell you that Blogswara's version 5 is coming up soon? More details will be followed in this blog in the coming days). Here is our new cover song.

MInchaagi Neenu

I heard about this song from a couple of my friends in Bangalore and got hooked to it since then. This song has shades of the popular Kannada hit song Anisuthide Yaako Indu from the movie Mungaaru Male but still this is a very beautiful song, thanks to the magical voice of Sonu Nigam. I recorded this over the weekend when I was at home. As I don't know even a little bit of Kannada, the diction issues are bound to happen. So pardon me for that and let me know what you think of this. :-)

Jab Se Tere Naina (cover)

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has given us so many musical gems through his movies. From Khamoshi to Devdas to Saawariya - it was a beautiful musical journey. He introduced another talented music director, Monty Sharma, through Saawariya and the music album has so many melodious songs (my most favorite song from the album is Thode Badmaash by Shreya Ghoshal). Here is my try at Jab Se Tere Naina, originally sung by Shaan.

It has been more than 3 weeks now since I have sung or posted any song. Weekdays are busy and the weekends are made for sleeping and taking care of the things back at home, so not getting much time to put into music. But I can promise that something is cooking and hope to bring it out by the year end.

Here is a song for the time being, an unplugged version of a Malayalam song, from the recently released movie My Mother's Laptop.

The music composer duo Vishal-Shekhar has given us two wonderful songs last year - Main Agar Kahoon and Ajab Si (click here to listen to my version of Ajab Si). Two beautiful songs sung by two of the best filmy singers in India - Sonu Nigam and Kay Kay. Sonu Nigam has a special gift in giving the right feel to the songs. It is not easy to imitate the feel that he gives in to a song. And Main Agar Kahoon is a good example.

Here I am trying this song with Sindhuja. Lemme know how it sounds. :-)

Manju Pole Oru Swapnam - Song Release

Remember when I mentioned about a couple of music projects which I was looking forward to? One of them was to compose and sing the theme song for a Malayalam telefilm, Manju Pole Oru Swapnam, which is a UK Malayalee production. That project is over now and the song has been completely done. The first schedule of the film's shooting is over and the next schedule will begin soon.

I had this opportunity because of my friend and well-wisher Dr. James Bright, who is in the UK and whom I have never met. :-) Right from the day when he first came to my blog and listened to my songs, he said he would definitely give me a chance when he comes up with a filmy project (he was the producer of Malayalam film "Vadhu Doctoraanu" which has Jayaram in the lead role). And he kept his word. Dr. Bright has also written the script and songs for this telefilm.

As I started with this project, I could interact with a couple of others from the crew. Jayaram, the director of the film, has become a good friend of mine. He would call me up and discuss ideas he had for the songs and continuously encouraged me throughout the project. He is full of spirits and I can't wait to see the film! And then the hero of the film, Nimal, a nice chap who easily became a good friend. A truly hero material, I say. :-)

Many thanks to all the musicians who have worked on this project. To Ajit Gopalakrishnan (for orchestrating the song), Bharath Venkatesan (for rhythm programming) and Nandu Mahadevan (for mixing the song) - thank you folks!

Cheeni Kum (Cover)

I have said it over and over again in this blog that I am a huge fan of Shreya Ghoshal (somebody please let her know that I am on bride-hunt these days :P). Her voice and the way that girl adapts herself to several Indian languages are just amazing. The other day I was listening to Vida Parayukayaano, from the Malayalam movie Big B (Not Bacchan), composed by the talented Alphons Joseph. It is her first Malayalam song and I must say she has done an amazing job in the pronunciation part, better than any of her counterparts from North or South of India could do (except a Malayalee).

The title song Cheeni Kum from the Hindi movie Cheeni Kum is a beautiful song composed by Ilaiyaraja and given life by Shreya (I also loved the male version of this song). Here is my humble attempt to sing this song. And this is the first song I recorded in my new Shure SM 58! Let me know how it sounds. :-)

Dooba Dooba of Silk Route (cover)

I think it was after my pre-degree years that I came to watch the video of this beautiful song by Silk Route in the music channels. Actually it was the video which was the most talked about thing than the song itself because the entire song video was shot under water and it was a differently attempt. It happens so in the music industry that even a beautiful and different song needs a well-made video sell it out in the market for masses. Their first album Boondein was a huge hit and the song Dooba Dooba won so many awards within India. Even though their music was categorized into Indi-Pop, it certainly stood different from run-off-the-mill indi-pop songs and belonged to a more folk-rock category.

Their first album Boondein which has the song Dooba Dooba was released in 1997 and the band released it's second album Pehchaan in 2000, but then it was a long silence. Then the news came out that the band has formally dissolved. Being a big fan of Silk Route's music and lead singer Mohit Chauhan's voice, it was a huge dissapoint to me. I thought this band could lead the popular Indian music (other than the filmy or classical music) to a higher level. Later on the lead singer Mohit rendered vocals in some Hindi films and all were a treat to listen to.

Here is my attempt in singing the all-time hit of Silk Route - Dooba Dooba.

Right Here Waiting For you - Richard Marx cover

Richard Marx is probably the first English singer I listened to after Micheal Jackson. The first album I bought was Ballads, a collection of love songs sung by Richard Marx and there I heard this beautiful song, Right Here Waiting For You. The voice, the expressive singing, the soft piano touches... everything about this song is so beautiful. I don't know if I could do any justice to the original, but I enjoyed singing this one. The pitch was a little high for me though.

Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain from Pardes

I hold this song dearly for one reason. When we bought a CD player at home, Pardes was the first music CD that we (I and my brother) played. We played the CD all day and night long. The experience of listening to music from a CD player was totally new and exciting. Even at night, I would play the music in a low volume and spent almost the entire night without sleeping. I still remember that time clearly.

Nadeem-Sharavan was a hit music duo of Hindi film industry. Their songs are beautiful and melodious. This song from Pardes is no different. The karaoke track had lots of problems. It slowed up after sometime and then fastened up in between. On and off. So it was really difficult to sing along, however I couldn't resist singing this beautiful song. :-) Here is my humble try in singing Do Dil Mil Rahe Hain from Pardes. Do let me know what you think.

Kannathil Muthamittaal

Kannatthil Muthamittaal is one of my favorite movies from Mani Ratnam. Needless to say that the music by A R Rahman for this movie is awesome. My favorite song from the movie is Vellai Pookkal sung by ARR himself, but the title song is also beautiful. This song gave Chinmayee a huge break and made her name famous in the south Indian music industry. The male version was sung by P Jayachandran, one of the finest singers of our time.

When Sindhuja suggested that we put the male-female cover versions of this song in our blogs simultaneously, I thought it was a wonderful idea. We did the initial humming part in each other's versions too. The karaoke track was in slightly higher pitch compared to the original though. I must say I like Sindhuja's version a lot. So head over to her blog after listening to this. And do let us know your comments as usual. :-)

A prayer song

This song in Malayalam was first written by a Malayalam teacher and then composed by a music teacher in the same school. Interestingly, both teachers share the same name – Aravindakshan.

Imagine - Cover version of John Lennon song

Ever since it's release in 1971, the song Imagine, which was written, composed and performed by the legendary John Lennon, has inspired people world over. Imagine talks about a world where there are no borders, no countries, no religions and where we humans live as one. No wonder why Lennon wrote that "you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one". This is the song of everyone who dreams of unity of humanity beyond the differences and a world of peace.

Some of the stanzas in the song lyrics, such as "imagine no possessions" have been subjected to criticism as one of the critics mentioned "Imagine" was written by a "multi-millionaire with one temperature-controlled room in his Manhattan mansion just to store his fur coats."[wiki]

Imagine is in the third place of Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest songs of all time. It is also one of the top 100 most performed songs of 20th century.

I recorded this song in one stretch after I came back to room after work on Wednesday. I haven't even bothered to remove the breath noise from the track. Thanks to George Kuruvila for the karaoke track.

I went to the studio on the very next day and recorded the song by 10 PM. This experience is quite new to me as I learned the song just 5 minutes before recording, something which never happened before. I always learn and practice songs beforehand for studio recordings. And this time it was different and was done in a professional manner. Also this is my first solo song that is released in an album.

I found this song in one of the posts in Muziboo by Prateek. Prateek posted this song on behalf of Sanour Sunny Mohammad, who is a sound engineer with Sandeep Chowta.

This is what Sunny has to say about the song:

“We being musicians/technicians, can express our thoughts and present it to the
world in our own pleasing way … So come on guys and girls, seniors and amateurs,
contribute in this song, by taking part. I am uploading the idea of the song.
The tune and the arrangement pattern will be same further, but according to the
members submissions, i may change it. Drummers can record drums, guitarists can
do guitars, singers can do vocals/harmonies/aalaps/, flautists can do flute,
sitarists can do sitar portions, watever they like, but associated with the
song. Its not necessary to play the same thing, but ya over the same track u
have to do it. Anyone can contribute. Take the song in ur session, put the song
on the first or bar of ur choice, and go on!!!!! I have bounced the track on
bar, so it will sit on the tempo mentioned on the song page. If anyone wants the
song in some other way, like only rhythms, i can do tht even, and send it to
them.."

Sunny did this song as a base stuff and invited other Muziboo members to collaborate and contribute to this song. He provided the minus track and his vocals track separately. I liked the music, lyrics and the whole concept and I was humming along as I listened to the song. After I finished listening, I recorded the aalaaps and humming part. Then I cut some vocal portion of Sunny's original song and put some Malayalam lyrics there. Just to mention, the lyrics was an instant creation. I recorded the Malayalam part and mixed the song altogether and posted it. So it all happened in one hour (I added the last Vande Mataram bit on Saturday). The complete lyrics of the song and Sunny's original song can be heard from here. The Malayalam lyrics is as given below:

ii bhaaratha bhUvil nanmayum Saanthiyum pularaTTE
chidra SakthikaL nilam pathikkaTTE
uNaRnnonnaayuyaRnnu paaTaam
jayikkaTTE bhaarathaambaa

A rough translation of this would be:

May love and peace prevail in the land of India
May the divisive powers fall
Let us wake up and sing together
May the victory be with mother India

The original lyrics by Sunny:

Don’t u think u make mothers cry
Don’t u think innocents die
Don’t u think u r hurting a nations heart
Don’t u think u r making kids apart

Please stop this!!! Please stop this!!!
Please stop this!!! Please stop this!!!

Will ur mother be proud of what u r doing
Will sumone forgive u, for what u r doing
U r hurting a nations life
U r killing a world of smile

Whatever u did in the past
We were together
Whatever u do further
We will be together

United we stand United we stand
United we stand United we stand

Its a request
Its a warning for u
Its so disgusting
The things u really do
U took smiles away
from so many kids around
U took hearts away
from some ones bound

Dnt u think we r afraid of u
WE can get u down
One day will come u will plead us for mercy
Then we will show u how
Show u how….

UNITED WE STAND UNITED WE STAND
UNITED WE STAND UNITED WE STAND

War isnt an answer
To the questions u really dnt know
War will just give a loss
And nothing, even to u
Be ready to face us
We’ll strike together
We r coming together
U really cant beat us forever

UNITED WE STAND UNITED WE STAND
UNITED WE STAND

UNITED WE STAND (Vandemataram Vandemataram)
UNITED WE STAND (Vandemataram Vandemataram)
UNITED WE STAND (Vandemataram Vandemataram)

I must say that Sunny did a great job with this song. Kudos to him! Those of you who would like to add your part can feel free to do so as Sunny has mentioned in his post (you can download the minus track and Sunny's vocals track from his post). Here is my contribution and you guys listen to it and let me know your comments.

Idi Naadani - Telugu song with Vidyu

It is always a pleasure to sing with Vidyu because I've become her fan right from the time I heard her version of Chalo Tumko Lekar Chale (originally sung by my favorite Shreya Ghoshal) in her website. Sometimes back she has sent me this beautiful song from the Telugu movie Swaraabhishekam and I loved every bit of it. I couldn't record it earlier as I was having throat infection back then. So this has been on the shelf for a long time. And recently I got a chance to record it. I should thank Vidyu for sending me this song, lyrics and for recording this song even through the tough times.

By the way, I don't know even a bit of Telugu language, so please pardon me for any pronunciation issues. :-)

Kannada song - Ninnindale from Milana

I heard the Kannada song Ninnindale from the movie Milana when Sunil sent it to me sometimes back. I heard from him that the song was composed by Mano Murthy, the same music director of the popular hit Mungaru Male (Checkout my version of Anisuthide from Mungaru Male and the title song Mungaaru Maleye sung by Sunil). This song is so beautifully rendered by Sonu Nigam. Later a listener of my audioblog, Jyothi, requested me to sing this song.

I was searching for the karaoke of this song for sometime and finally got it from Sunil. Today I recorded the song just a few hours ago after I came back from work. Hear it and do let me know your comments and feedbacks as usual.

Yamuna Veruthe from Ore Kadal

Ore Kadal is one of my most favorite movies of the recent times and music has an important role in it. All the songs in this movie are composed in one raaga that is Subha Panthuvaraali and yet each song sounds different from the rest.
