Venmathiye - Minnale - Harris Jeyaraj

One of my all time favorites from Harris Jeyaraj. A sad song with soothing lyrics. Harris at his best in orchestration. The flute piece in the first interlude followed by guitar is mind-blowing. A difference is Harris has used flute in three different ways in the first interlude itself.

Second interlude is the best part of this song. Starting with a female humming, followed by piano (or keyboard) and then a short violins blended with flute, then again a short keyboard piece. Kudos!!!! No doubt, this one song from Harris is close to my heart. :-) It's sad to know that it's been a long time since HJ delivered this type of soothing melody.

Listen to first interlude,




Listen to second interlude,

Vennilave (AR Rahman)

One of the best compositions of our legend ARR. The best parts of this song are the rhythm and the keyboard usage in the interlude.

The first interlude has a beautiful Sitar followed by Violins. Enthralling.

Next comes the master piece. From 3:36 to 4:08. Keyboard followed by Violins with Sitar towards the end. Truly Mezmerising. I just couldn’t avoid tears, brimming in my eyes whenever I listen to this second interlude.

You do have a short Violins interlude (between 1st and 2nd interludes), just before Sadhana enters. The same piece which comes at the end of the song as postlude.

Overall this song is one of my all time favorites from ARR. This song does deserve a place in Top-10 compositions of ARR. I cannot forget this melody in my lifetime. Special thanks to Rahman sir.
