Tamil film music is something that has impacted us in many ways over the years while growing up. Many of us neither have the ability to express our inner feelings clearly nor have the skill to do so. When strong positive or negative emotions overwhelm us, we flounder for words not knowing what to tell ourselves and people who care for us. At those times we often resort to a familiar song that conveys our feelings so intimately.
Listening to music can happen at many levels and for many reasons. Some relish the தமிழ் and the poetry within. Some dissect the composition, the raaga and thrive in learning, understanding and appreciating the musical nuances. Some just listen to a song for its entertainment value and see it as a welcome distraction amidst their “mundane” routine.
The intent of this website is to express the appreciation and admiration I have for each of these songs and the numerous composers, lyricists, singers and musicians involved in their creation. This website’s content is merely one listener’s compilation of thoughts, information and assimilated views about movie songs. I sincerely hope the write ups are enjoyable and the songs picked here excite you all as much as they did to me.
