My Music God : Ilayaraja

  1.                                           ILAYARAJA - THE GENIUS MUSICIAN
 - Tamil  Movie songs(Melodious,Classical)

Ilayaraja is a Tamil movie music director.  He is a genius. His prime time was between 1978-1996. During this time, he was undisputed as his music was responsible for many Box office hits in Tamilnadu.He has scored music for about 900 Tamil, malayalam, telugu,Kannda and Hindimovies

I will be discussing his music from the perspective of a lay music lover.

Please find two Audio links ; "Devan Koil Deepam Ondru.......
Ennaiyum , Unnaiyum katti elukkuthadi ……………


Tamil movie songs released during 1987.Melodious still and unmatching in originality.
Simple short meaning of this Romantic song  which combines  spiritual aspects to express love
“ a  lamp of the temple of Lord
Sings a song
Eyes two tells the tune of love
Heart comes to your door step”
These First two lines repeated again and again.

The second song “ Unnayum Ennayum katti elukkuthadi……
(With a whistling sound)
The string of love ties you and me
That string gives pleasure and pain
Who tied this string?
Who got into this string?.......
These are the first two lines repeated again and again

Simply superb
