What a boring song with lines like kanji aari pochu which, by the way, sounds as though it is being recited and not sung and what is it with that sad, melancholic feel oozing out of this song making you too to feel dull? That was the feeling that remained even after a few days of listening to this song.
And then it finally happened today – suddenly the words sung as though in a soft whisper with full of longing and the soft, caressing, minimal music in the background seemed to seamlessly blend together to create a magic, a soothing, melancholic magic sans the feeling of gloominess. And not to forget that interlude with that lovely humming which suddenly has words and humming and chords coming together with the humming and the chords forming a nice backdrop for that non-dramatic-climatic high-pitched enga pona raasa which undergoes beautiful transitions to come back to the initial slow enga pona raasa.
I am now so fully drawn into this song that I just can’t stop listening to it!
After Long Long Aparna Back . am very Happy 🙂
Enga pona raasa is a fantastic song with minimal arrangements. Very well sung by Shakthisree Gopalan. Only Rahman can think of something like this!
I had the same feeling when I heard it first. But something drew me into pressing the replay button, and there was no going back!
