songs of the rain

There are recent hits that get your attention, catch ur nerves and leave you hazed. Its like a temptation that we succumb to. But then after the storm is over, we go back to the songs that we love the most, have touched our heart and soul, songs that remain for al ifetime close to your heart. Most of the such songs for me have the theme of water...like a lazy river flowing down the stream. When i listen to these ...its just the sensation of flowing with the river. Some of them...

Mazhaneer thullikal - From the movie beautiful. Its the sound of those drops that gets me drenched. The music leaves a feeling of a cold rainy night. The dim light of the candle ...the beautiful black bindi on the actress's and her teasing smile. Ever so inviting.

Varamanjal - from the movie Pranayavarnangal. The frame that comes into the mind even when i type is manju warrier opening the wooden window which over looks the kuttanadan paddy fields. What a lovely green frame. The song is a typical river flow..it starts...slowly...paving the way through the stones gently....and just when we lazily reach the end of the stanza..the beats from "chenda" (drum) start off as if we dived down along a waterfall...and then it lands and flows again...till ends into the sea. beautiful and serene. 

Savan barse - Dont remember which movie, but the song is shot on sonali bendre and akshay khanna ,two new lovers wanting to meet...on a rainy day. Beautiful frames all through the song. It oozes the innocence of a new found love. 

Margazhi poove - tamil song from the movie..don remember. the song is a nice blend of classical tunes with modern beats. A song which you wake up to on a rainy day. A song to listen to after the rains have left your gardens wet.
