வான் நிலா தரும்

'Vaan Nila Tharum' from Kadhal Virus was an interesting listening exercise. For large sections of the song the music overwhelms the lyrics especially at the beginning of a stanza. That coupled with the speed at which words are spoken made it a challenge to hear the individual words. This was also the first time I noticed how much our brains 'fill in'.

ஒரு சோல்ஜல்

மனசெல்லாம் உந்னிடம் கொடுத்தேன்

'Manasellaam' from the movie Kulir 100° was a very interesting listening exercise. The song has a definite hip hop feel to it. Although I've listened to this song many times I never really paid attention to the Tamil rap section. Nicely done!

பொண் மாழை பொழுது

Tamil songs, at least in the movies, are always about love. Hopeful love, fulfilled love, unrequited love, young love, old love, tall love, short love; you get the point. 'Pon Maalai Pozhuthu' from the movie Nizhalgal is about nature; it describes the moments before the sun sets. There are plenty of references to nature in Tamil songs but they are almost always used metaphorically to describe the female form.

"வானம் எனக்கொரு போதி மரம்
நாளும் எனக்கது சேதி தரும்"

நீதானே

These days songs have a very short window of time in which they need to impress the listener. If there's nothing interesting in the first few seconds it simply gets skipped never to be listened to again. 'Neethane' from the movie Sarvam was one such song on my list. The first time I listened to this song I couldn't get to my computer in time to skip it! It was a good thing. It exceeded a lot of my initial expectations and the lyrics contained several words that I encountered for the first time.
