Baradwaj Rangan pays tribute to A.R.Rahman, listing some of the favourites that have haunted us through the past fifteen years. I am very positive that almost all the songs would feature in the favourites list of any ardent ARR fan. Going through the list was like riding a wave of nostalgia and the descriptions bringing out a smile every now and then as they exactly describe how you yourself feel about it. Talking about the song Dating from Boys, he says:
“every single sound seems to have been piped out of machines yet to be invented.”
and then about Ae Hairathe from Guru, he says:
“. . . it brings back a long-ago era where passion meant poetry, poetry meant passion. Full of inspired touches like a very local dam tara chorus exchanging notes with a free-flowing Euro-accordion, this is Rahman’s contribution to the contention that few things in life are as satisfying as a beautifully composed love song.“
Genius.
