• 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.

• Vangelis – One of the greatest composers of all time.Our Master A.R.Rahman is a big fan of Vangelis.Me too…

• I have heard all soundtracks from Vangelis’ Missing (released in the year 1982).But “Little Prince Love theme” from the movie “Missing” is simply superb.Its my pick from the movie.I enjoyed a lot hearing this beautiful piece.Thanks to Vangelis.

• I happened to hear the same piece in a Tamil song.It may be an illusion.

• “Kalloori” song from “Ninaithale Inikkum(2009)” sounds somewhat similar to Vangelis’ “Little Prince Love theme”.What do you think guys?

• Listen to the song “Kalloori” from Ninaithale Inikkum here.

• Here is the soundtrack “Little Prince Love theme” from Missing.

• There is one more version for the above soundtrack.I can’t find that in Internet.Its very close to the Kallori song from Ninaithale Inikkum.

• The soundtrack “Little Prince Love theme” from Missing sometimes reminds me of “The Journey Home” from Bombay Dreams composed by our Master A.R.Rahman which in turn reminds me of “Oh L’amour” by Erasure.Musical Illusion?

• Listen to “The Journey Home” from Bombay Dreams here.

• Here is the song “Oh L’amour” by Erasure.

• Here is the soundtrack “Missing” with Nana Mouskour’s voice.
