Mother's day special


Today is Mother's day. The day that transcends the boundaries of religions and cultures, the day every single species in the world has the right to celebrate. I love my mom so much (as anyone would love his), and wanted to give her on this occasion, a special gift, that is not just of monetary value. And, here it is!
The song 'Ammaa endru azhaikkaadha uryirillayae' from Mannan, a scintillating semi-classical song composed by none other than the Maestro, and sung by K.J.Yesudas. The lyrics were penned by Vaali. The genius of Vaali can be known from these lines in the song

'...Pasum thangam pudhu velli maanikkam manivairam
Avai yaavum oru thaaykku eedaagumaa
Vilai meedhu vilai vaiththuk kaettaalum koduththaalum
Kadai thannil thaayanbu kidaikkaadhammaa...'

I can't get a better compliment man :) Thanks! As with any other song i sing and post, i felt i could have sung this song better.Particularly with the clarity of sangathis and throwing the voice better.
Will do my best to give you an even better experience with my next song. Thanks again!! :)

Hi Vikram, Certainly with more emphasis on sangathis will be more crisp. But yeah look forward to more of your songs.

Cheers - Nive
