Pudhuppaadal Pesalaam, Discuss any new songs worth hearing Options

[visuja]

Ellorukkum Vanakkam.

I propose to discuss any new song that one finds to be 'listenable'. Since most of us at HF are crazy about old songs, many wont be too familair or in touch with the new melodious numbers. I would like to invite all to use this thread to recommend any new song that one finds hummable / 'listenable'. And would also be great if one could write a few points on why he / she likes that particular new song.

Firstly, thanks to HF which gives me a platform to start such a thread. Any other regular Tamil music forum would have massacred me for asking for recommendations for new 'listenable' songs !

To begin with, let me define a 'new' song by including all songs that cannot be uplaoded at HF. Discussion on any post '87 song is welcome.

Let me start by recommending ---
Song: avaL ulagha azhagiyE
Film : Laysa Laysa (2002)
Singer : Karthik Raja
MD : Harris Jeyraj
Lyrics : Vaali
Picturised on : Shyam and Trisha

I like the continuous use of beats in the background... keeps my foot tapping throughout. Very nice use of violins all thru the song. Decent lyrics too ! Thats quite a rarity, na ? There are some pauses in the song which are well used. I always like songs where the MD uses pauses to good effect. Of course, very few songs have pauses nowadays !

A lover desperately missing his beloved on a cold wintery New York night .......

New York nagaram uRangum neiram, thanimai aDarndhadhu.. paniyum paDarndhadhu..
kappal eRangiyae kaatrum karaiyil naDandhadhu..
When NewYork city went to sleep, loneliness came near.... and the snow spread wide...
(It was so lonely that) Even the wind alighted from the sails (of the ship) and started walking on shores...

naangu kannaaDi chuvargaLukkuLLae naanum mezhughuvatthiyum..
thanimai thanimaiyO.. koDumai koDumaiyO..
Inside the four glass walls, me and a candlelight
How lonely… how torturous…..

paecchellaam thaalaaTTu pOla ennai uRanga veikka nee illai
nilavin oLiyin mutham thandhu kaalai coffee kudukka nee illai
You aren't here to put me to sleep with your lullaby-like talk
You aren't here to kiss me in the moonlight (kiss me goodnight) nor give me coffee in the morning

vizhiyil vizhum dhoosi thannai naaval eDukka nee ingu illai
manadhil ezhum kuzhappam thannai theerka nee ingE illai......
You aren't here to blow into my eyes when dirt falls into them
You aren't here to clear the confusions that arise in my heart

naan ingE neeyum angE, indha thanimaiyil nimishangaL varusham aanadhEnO ?
vaan ingE neelam angE, indha oovamaikku iruvarum viLakam aanadhEnO?
I'm here & you are there, why have minutes become years in this loneliness?
Sky is here & blue is there, why have we become an example to that simile?!

naatkurippil nooru thaDavai undhan peiyarai ezhudhum en peina
Ezhudhiyadhum eRumbu moikka peiyarum aanadhenna theinaa?
My pen wrote your name a 100 times in my daily planner
For ants to come from all over just as I wrote, did your name too turn into honey?

jill enDru bhoomi irundhum, indha tharuNatthil kuLir kaalam kODai aanadhEnO?
vaa anbE neeyum vandhaal senthaNal kooDa panikaTTi pOla maaRumE....
Even in this chilly weather, why did this wintry moment turn into summer ?
Come beloved, if you do, even burning coal would turn into a snowball....
