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.
