Pesugiren from Sathum Podathey is one of the best songs of the year 2007. The mild rhythm, minimal instruments usage, excellent orchestration are the greatest plus points of this song. The tune is simple yet vert beautiful. Neha Bashin's voice is seductive. This one song is enough to prove Yuvan's orchestration ability.
The song forgoes a prelude but has wonderful interludes and a postlude. There are only four major instruments I can hear in this song. They are the percussion, saxophone, guitar and a very very mild symphony that comes intermittently in the background.
Percussion that starts exactly from the 22nd (or 23rd, when "Adangamale" line comes) second of the song sets the pace of the song. The flow that starts here remains the same till the end of the song.
The first interlude is formed by the Saxophone piece while the second interlude has the Saxophone piece followed by a beautiful Guitar. Listen to this guitar. Its just amazing!! The song has a beautiful postlude, Saxophone again!
Listen to 1st Interlude,
Listen to 2nd Interlude,
When does the Symphony come then? Close your eyes and observe the following pieces carefully. You will hear a mild symphony orchestraion in the background.
* During the first interlude,
* When she sings, "Valaivillamal malai kidayadhu" in the first charanam and during the same part in the second charanam
* Then along with the guitar in the second interlude.
Did you hear it?
It's been months since I heard this type of enthralling melody from Yuvan. I hope Yuvan comes up with more such melodies in future.
