This week there was a delightful
topic on my favorite talk show ‘Neeya Nana’ in Star Vijay, on the songs of late
80s esp. the composition on maestro Ilaiyaraaja was just blissful and it was a
debate so healthy and cheerful. Everyone comes up with their favorite song of
Ilayaraja and how it connected with their lives and being close to heart… it’s
so wonderful to hear each ones story and ardent being an Ilayaraja fan.
I wonder how they come up with
single most favorite of all time… which I couldn’t do so far even harder I tired
yesterday recalling his songs, I couldn’t come up with a single song mindset,
because his songs each one set a mood in itself. I need to confess his songs always
been a reliable source of my solace and whenever I feel so lone or depressed his
songs stimulates my sense to cherish and set away the motion into peace.
I have innumerable songs in my walkman
and PC on Ilayaraja and during my days on work on publication I used to listen
to his songs and it make things favorable to do so and except being unable I pushed
to left the work and since then I kept enjoying his songs unlike ever. While I aware
about music, AR. Rahman was there along with others but without my knowledge
Ilayaraja’s songs has been my favorite and I still remember the first tape-recorded
we brought and it played was ilaiyaraja’s song from Amaran and Mannan… both has
super hit songs.
Ilayaraja’s songs were always
heartwarming and close to heart feel and only he makes so real the nature and
feel of rural into his songs. When it
comes to love he has a special place on young hearts and left to never grow old
and falling in love happens each time listening to his songs, whether happy or
feel so sorry his songs cherish and rapture.

He is my favorite too...my day is not complete without his magical numbers...
I think favorite songs are very personal. I have favorite songs, but no one else may like them at all. But they are still special to me and evoke feelings in my heart and soul.
My favourite songs are personal to me too.
A nice tribute from an ardent admirer of Ilayaraja! A worthy one.
Great tribute of your favourite singer. My favourite songs are mostly in the 1980's.
a beautiful episode that was!!
Every single song has its own charm!!
