Music my passion 7-Tamil Film Songs that struck a chord

Shanvy · Mar 18, 2008

For a change let me talk about film music. :hiya

Well, I love music in any form. You must be wondering what is this, she goes on talking carnatic and nothing else.you are wrong..I love film music also, but I am choosy about the lyrics, and tunes also..most of the times, I tend to tilt towards classical and soothing ones.

There have been many songs that touched a chord in me. My Dad used to always bring in MGR and Sivaji tapes whenever he used to come down to chennai. there were songs that I liked, and some of the pathos I really don't want to listen again..but still the meanings are deep ingrained..

Well the songs I could go on listing that touched a chord..but most of the time I don't remember the names of the movies...

Deivam Thanda Veedu..somehow the philosophy of that song is evergreen.And Again I am partial, may be it is one of veda' favs also.
Manithan Maari Vittan-- Somehow this song shows the progress and digress together.
Manithan enbavan deivamagalam- this shows how well a man can live...if he wants.
thoongu kanne... It really portrays the different phases in a woman's life from being a baby...
Yelu swarangalukkul ethnai padal- wow vani at her best and also a real look at life..
Mounathil vilayadum manasatchiyee- balamurali gives a already great song a height...hit your conscience.
valarntha kalai maranthu vitaal- I still don't know if it is the song or the baby that was shown in the song...
Ithu oru pon malai poluthu - Nature described at its best.
Puththam Puthu Bhoomi VEndum- Expecting a better world...
Ovvavru pookalumae- again beauty best left untampered- a very motivating song.
Margazhiyil kulitthu paaru kuliru pazhagi pogum- teaches you about simple life and simple pleasures...
yarathu sollamal nenjalli povathu- a beautiful love song
Kanaakkaanum Kangal mella - a beautiful song again...this song has affected me, a lot.I have heard, that writer Balakumaran also said that this song left him spell bound...
pachai kiligal kootodu - Love the love for family potrayed.
new york nagaram urangum- this is the song that aptly goes for me and veda these days..
Thalattu maari poonatha - It disturbs you somewhere..
Poongathu Thirubuma - A person searching for love
Aanandha Raagam - a beautiful song.

Though I list a few that have struck a chord, it does not happen everytime u hear them right, it is the situation and the ambience and the mood that together work along with a song...

Nowadays between my fil and kids, I rarely get to listen to good numbers. FIL wants only carnatic and bajans. kids want all fast beat...:help

Let me stop ramblingbonk and also cut short my list here...What about your list...?? Do share them, may be i am missing on good ones...

Shan,
Like your father, my father loved old songs too. It was from him I developed interest. When I go out, people get surprised with someone in my generation singing old songs or being familiar with them.

The old ones you have listed are awesome. The motivating songs, love songs are feast to ears..
Trust me, they are most pleasing when u plug in the Walkman and sleep hearing these songs. No heavy drums, melodies are so good to ears.

Thanks for bringing them to my memory.

Hi Shanthi,
Yet again a nice topic. Film music from the old times was more melodious and now you can herdly hear the lyrics, thanks to technology. My favourites are mostly from Kannadasan's lyrics. All that I heard when I was growing uo has left a deep imapct on tastes in film music.

Ponal pogatum- you win some, you lose some

Veedu varai uravu- very true to life

Paramissivan Kazuthil Irundhu - the lyrics tell you how to go about life.
Malaimagal Alaimagal- the finer points of womanhood.

Atti vaithal yaar oruvar-All life is a stage

Vanakkam pala murai- back from abroad, you don't lose values. right?

Agaya pandhalile- it's like going into a dream

Manithan ninapadhundu-we live in fantasy?

Pal utti valatha kili, Neeyum naanuma- questioning yourself or being foster parents

Poovasam- hey Ram
Uyirinai enadhu urinai- Vettaiyadu Vilayadu.

Added to this melodies are my all time passion.

manjunat · Mar 19, 2008

Hi
Add these melodies too
Nenjathile nee netru vanthai
Orayiram paarvaiyile
Paarvai ondre podume
Yennai yaar endru enni enni nee paarkirai
Gnayiru enbathu kanaga
Muthukkalo kangal
the list goes on
todays......
Munbe vaa en anbe vaa
Nee partha paarvaikkoru nandri - its a haunting melody
Uyirile yenathu uyirile
Kannamoochi yenada - kanndukonden2
Panithuli panithuli - Kay kay has sung this song wonderfully

Shanvy · Mar 19, 2008
