Benson - Adam schlesinger - Rahman

  • Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na – One of the best albums in 2008.Music by our Master A.R.Rahman.He was Awarded with Filmfare Best Music Director Award for this album.
  • “Kahin To” song is everyone’s favorite.Its my favorite too. Such a pleasing song. It always reminds me of “Nothing’s gonna change my love for you” by George Benson.
  • Two days Before, I told my friend(Mr.Kamal) that “Kahin To” is somewhat close to “Nothing’s gonna change my love for you“.And he said “No way.There may be a slight resemblance at the prelude.But I prefer George Benson’s song to this one.{Actually He doesn’t like Kahin To song}”.Well, Opinion Differs.
  • Last Night I was surprised to see this information in wikipedia page for “Nothing’s gonna change my love for you”.

  • “A. R. Rahman reproduced a similar version of this song in Hindi for the film ‘Jane Tu Ya Jane Na’ in 2008.”

    - This is the actual information filed(not by me for sure) under Cover Versions of “Nothing’s gonna change my love for you” wikipedia page.Check it out.

  • “Nothing’s gonna change my love for you” was originally recorded by George Benson in the year 1984.Listen to the original song here.
  • Here is the most famous among the cover versions of “”Nothing’s gonna change my love for you”.Recorded by by Hawaiian singer Glenn Medeiros.
  • Listen to the song “Kahin To” by A.R.Rahman here.
  • When I was discussing this thing a moment ago with my friend Mr.Senan, he mentioned a song “Way Back Into Love” from movie “Music and Lyrics“which is quite similar to “Kahin To” backing music.(that May be illusionary)
  • Anyway Listen to the song “Way Back Into Love” by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett here.Song written by Adam Schlesinger.

    Question 1 : Do you think "Kahin To" is a cover version of "Nothing's Gonna change my love for you"? Question 2 : Do you think "Kahin To" backing music is similar to "Way back in to love"?

Engenge Engenge – Full Circle

Deva - Loreena McKennitt - Yuvan Shankar Raja

  • “Engenge Engenge” song from “Nerukku Ner” by Deva is one of my very favorite songs.
  • The prelude to the song is something exceptional.But the bitter truth is that the best part of the prelude(What i felt) is actually not deva’s original.It’s taken from Loreena McKennitt’s outstanding piece of music “Full Circle” from the album “The Mask and the Mirror”.
  • Every song from the album “Nerukku Ner” by Deva has some shades of inspirations from other composers.Let’s talk about it later.
  • Listen to the great piece of music “Full Circle” by Loreena McKennitt here.(Released in 1994).
  • Here is the song “Engenge Engenge” from Nerukku Ner by Deva.(Released in 1997).
  • Though a small piece(say a sample) from the original is used by Deva for that song, the impact made by that small piece on the song is great (In My Opinion).
  • One more interesting thing i forgot to mention-Another song “The Mystic’s dream” from the same album “The mask and the Mirror” by Loreena McKennitt is used by deva for the prelude to “Engenge Engenge”.
  • At the start of the prelude to “Engenge Engenge” you can hear a female voice(Low tone) and it is more like Loreena’s “The Mystic’s Dream” if i am right.
  • Hear the wonderful piece of music “The Mystic’s dream” by Loreena here.
  • How do you like this music? IMO, “The Mystic’s dream” also reminds me of Yuvan’s background music style(in 7g Rainbow Colony, Kadhal Kondaen or Thulluvadho Ilamai).Whats your opinion guys?
  • We should appreciate Deva sir for this song “Engenge Engenge”.The prelude is sampled from two of Loreena’s songs.Then What about the interludes,Pallavi and charanams?You may ask? Only God(if exists) and Deva Knows.
  • Please rate this post and comment if possible.Thank you guys.See you later.

"The Mystic's Dream" reminds me of Yuvan's BGM style in 7g Rainbow Colony.Do you Agree?

Waiting for Tonight – Poongatrae Poongatrae

Jennifer Lopez - Yuvan Shankar Raja

Jennifer Lopez - Yuvan Shankar Raja

  • Yuvan Shankar Raja has come out with a pleasing album “Paiyaa” this year. Though the songs are very catchy, some quantity of “recycling his own tunes” is clear in this album.
  • And one more thing, The song titled “Poongatrae Poongatrae” sounds very much similar to “Waiting for Tonight” by Jennifer Lopez.A clear case of Inspiration is visible throughout the song.
  • The interesting thing here – “Waiting for Tonight” song is originally tuned or recorded by “3rd Party“(a dance-pop team of 3 members) for their Album titled “Alive” in the year 1997.It was later remade as “Waiting for Tonight” by Jennifer Lopez for her album titled “On the 6″ in the year 1999.
  • Listen to the song “Waiting for Tonight” by Jennifer Lopez here.
  • Here is the song “Poongatrae Poongatrae” by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
  • I can’t find the song “Waiting for Tonight” by 3rd party in Internet.I am sorry.
  • Though inspiration is visible in some parts, The song “Poongatrae Poongatrae” is very good and catchy IMO.

"Poongatrae Poongatrae" seems to be inspired from "Waiting for tonight".What do you think?

John Doan – The Journey Home – AR Rahman

Exceptional 1 Comment »

John Doan - AR Rahman

  • Last night when I was surfing the Internet, I came to know about a song titled “The Journey Home” by John Doan ( master of the twenty-string harp guitar).
  • I’m loving this song, really mesmerizing. Great to hear.
  • I have a doubt.Is there any connection between “The Journey Home” by John Doan and “The Journey Home” by our master AR Rahman? This sounds silly.Right?
  • Sometimes John Doan’s “The Journey Home” reminds me of AR Rahman’s “The Journey Home” from Bombay Dreams.Is this an illusion? or Is there something musically similar(may be the genre) between The Journey Homes?
  • Listen to the song “The Journey Home” by John Doan here.This was released in 1998 i believe.
  • Here is the song “The Journey Home” by AR Rahman from Bombay Dreams released in the year 2002.
  • No doubt both songs are great IMO. What do you feel about these songs? Pour your comments if possible.
