Yet another ARR release. Yet another album that was very much hyped. Yet another album whose release was delayed due to reasons that will never be known. Yet another time where ppl set high expectations. Yet another time when Facebook and Orkut status messages were filled with VTV reviews. And yet another instance where my Media player playlist has been on repeat mode for 3 consecutive days!

People say every ARR album is different from the other. Partially incorrect I would say. Every album goes into the repeat mode in my playlist. Every album has high expectations. Every album is highly scrutinized by critics initially. And eventually, every album proves the critics wrong! This album is no different to the others in any way.

One crazy phenomenon I have noticed with every ARR release is this. Most of the ppl complain of the album as unimpressive and not catchy. But, a week or two later, they realize they were wrong.

I still remember one of my friends telling me ‘Maula Maula’ from Delhi 6 was BORING and Yaar mila tha from Blue was ORDINARY! But now, I guess, those are the only Hindi songs he listens to all the time!! May be every tune that resonates from the Maestro’s keyboard is destined to be damned initially! So to the guys, who are already addicted to the album, you must be extreme Rahmaniacs, I am sure.

To the guys who have started liking the album, you guys are on the right track. To the guys, who feel VTV is not all that great, you too are on the right track, Just wait a little longer!

As I type Goodbye, I can hear Hosanna playing in my roomie’s laptop for the past 20 mins. Worth noting- He did not like the song earlier and he felt he had listened to a similar kind of song elsewhere. But now i guess he s in luv with it! That’s ARR for you. His Music draws you toward it, sinks in slowly into your soul and once it sinks in, it lives with you forever!

Disclaimer: I am no advertiser of Sony Music. I am no deputy of ARR. I am no agent of the film producers. I am just a lover of Music. Music called A.R.Rahman!

first of all when we look into AR.Rahman ji's life in cine field it has three stages..In all the three stages he succeded in the first step itself proving the proverb"Failure is the stepping stone to success" a false one.. He dint face any failures itselF.. For example let us take three most popular cine field around the world.. As Rahman belongs to TN i would like to consider Tamil film industries too

Tamil Film Industry
Hindi Film Industry
Hollywood

First step: Entering the Tamil with a bang.. The first film Roja brought him one of the prestigious national award

second step: Then he moves on to Hindi.. I hope i dont want to explain that to north indians.. Because themselves know that... Rangeela considered to be one of the best musical film by AR.Rahman ji..

Third step: ha ha ha.. The world knows about it... Oscar deserves Rahman ji..
Like this he has been one among the finest musicial the World has ever witnessed..

so, in this forum as a die hard fan of AR.Rahman.. i would like to wish all the very best for his success.. I dont have age or a drop of talent to wish the God of music.. But as one of the Rahmaniac i would like to see his success every time..

The matter doesnt ends here!

Here i go, AR.Rahman jan 6, the day when the god of music disguised himself as a human being reached the Earth.. He destroys the sin of 1000s of people through his divine music..

so i would like to wish him HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. also i request all the Rahmaniacs to wish him in this forum n with ur message.. also Dnt forget to write ur name..

Once again "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" RAHMAN JI....

WHAT I WANT TO SEE IN 2010 (See Image)

Grammy awards
- I 'm happy to be nominated on the same platform as some of the best musicians in the world. Let's see what happens.
Son Shine
- Couple's Retreat was my first venture into main stream Hollywood. What makes the movie extra special is that my son Ameen has sung part of a track, Na Na, in it. He's just six-and-a half. It's too soon to say, but let's hope he chooses music when he grows up.
Spirit of Music
- I 'm looking forward to my authorised biography, A.R.Rahman -- The Spirit of Music, a `book of conversations' between Nasreen Munni Kabir, a writer and a documentary filmmaker and myself. The book will be ready for release mid-2010.
Connected by Music
- This album is special to me. Connections -- A Journey through Anthems is a very special compilation of songs that I've done at vari ous stages. They mean a lot to me and it's got all my personal favourites, like Khalballi and Dil Se Re and some unreleased tracks.
Power packed
- Being named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine was overwhelming. I hope I can use these honours to do good for people.
Peace
- The situation in Sri Lanka was disturbing for every Tamilian, and I hope all the people displaced in the war are now safe.
Life's a stage
- What I learnt from com posing for Broadway musicals like Bombay Dreams and Lord of the Rings was that theatre commands more respect in the West than films. A lot of Hollywood and British actors attend the theatre, and support even small productions. In India, with such a rich cultural heritage, we need something equally powerful and professional.
Water, water
- I have teamed up with U2, Shakira and Peter Gabriel for a global video on water conservation. It is titled Moving Stars And Earth For Water and is based on the musical track Vellai Pookal by Vairamuthu, from the movie Kannathil Muttha-mittal by M.Rathnam. It was perfect for the theme of water conservation. I believe climate change is important and we should all contribute to make the planet more livable for our children.
Working in Tamil
- I would continue to work in Tamil films, provided the projects excite me.
Plan ahead
- I do not plan that far ahead,i live for today.

WHAT I SAW IN 2009

The Slumdog experience :
- When I work on a western project, I am in learning mode. But Danny (Boyle) was someone who really liked my work and he wanted to work with me. While discussing the project, we were like friends, walking on the streets of London, grabbing a cup of coffee. Even the actual project itself was like a holiday. I took my family with me and we stayed at my studio house in London. In between work, I'd go to the park with my kids and relax. The whole soundtrack was a memorable experience.
The Oscars :
- When I first heard about the Oscar nomination, I was in Chennai. As soon as the names were announced, I was flooded with questions on whether I would perform and what I would wear. At that time I was too overwhelmed. It sank in slowly much later, but apart from getting a suit stitched from my tailor in Chennai, I didn't plan anything. The awards ceremony itself was a daze. I was so focussed on my live performance, that I didn't think about anything else. But when I landed in Chennai, I was overwhelmed by the reception I got. My fans, family, friends like Sivamani and all the artistes who performed... it was great to be home.
Time crunch:
- Post Oscars, people started to accuse me of being aloof and unapproachable. But that's ue. I was (and still am) under not true. I was (and still am) under so much work pressure. Earlier I used to take all personal calls and reply to every email that I received. But now I find it difficult to reply to the 400-odd mails that come in every day. See, music is what got me here and if I don't focus on my music, no one will respect me. Music is my first priority, so I shut off from everything and go back to my work.
Teachers :
- I missed seeing my two favourite and great teachers who passed away this year. Mr Nityanandam taught me how to transcribe melodies by listening, which helped me develop my ear for music better. Among other persons who helped build my foundation in music was Mr Moses Branham, who was my first teacher at the Trinity College of Music when I was 13 years old.
Love's labour lost:
- MY FRIEND and long time associate Bharat Bala and I had been working on a project that we were both very passionate about. After investing two years of time and effort, the project had to be dropped. It was something I felt bad about.
Among the best:
- Each year Film Score Monthly, a leading music magazine from Hollywood compiles a list (by Scott Bettencourt) of the top 40 composers. This is the first time that I have been chosen by them. I was ranked 25th and it was another memorable moment.
Gone too soon:
- The untimely death of Michael Jackson was a hock. He was an icon shock. He was an icon and I am yet to find an artist with that energy, perfection and vision. His passing affected me on a personal level because I met him personally after the Oscars in Los Angeles and we vibed very well. He said he had heard about me and he praised the chord progression of Jai Ho's chorus. He was bursting with energy and told me that every dance move he did came from his soul and even gave me a quick five-second demo. It was like a bolt of lightning! He was deeply concerned about global warming and war and he asked me to compose a unity anthem on the lines of We are the World for him and I could just nod in awe. I wished him well for his concerts and he said `God Bless you'. His death and the death of others close to me have made me value people's existence more and respect them when they are alive.
Power of speech :
- Ella Pughazhum Eraivanukke", which means `All glories belong to God'. That's how I ended my Oscar speech. I am so proud to be a Tamilian, and to have achieved this. A lot of people asked why I started my speech in Hindi (Mere paas maa hain), spoke in English and finally shifted to Tamil. But I don't differentiate between Tamil or Hindi. I just said whatever came to my mind at that moment. But I'm happy that everything I felt got conveyed through that short speech.
Meeting Vangelis:
1. I was first introduced to the music of Greek composer Vangelis by the late L Vaidyanathan, a composer and brother of L Subramaniam, in 1987. He made me listen to the music of Vangelis to illustrate his ability to bring soul into synthesizers. I still have clear memories of listening to that music on headphones on the way from Bangalore to Chennai after finishing work for music composer Vijay Anand while travelling in third class due to delayed bookings.Vangelis' music used to transport me to another planet, releasing me from those inevitable noises in a train. That's why one of the highlights of my year was when a friend took me to Vangelis' house in Greece in August, 2009. I asked him if he would collaborate on an Indian project, and he said `'Why not?'
Performing at the White House:
- Entering the White House was such an awe-inspiring moment. I performed Interventions from Couple's Retreat, Latika's theme with the Washington he Washington Symphony and Jai ho for some powerful world leaders and I was thrilled to know that the Obamas were fans!

It was one of those rare occasions when music maestro AR Rahman was in the capital to perform in a concert titled ‘AR Rahman Unplugged.’

Apart from the maestro himself, the concert included performances by Kailash Kher, Sadhna Sargam, Hariharan and drummer Sivamani, besides a spectacular choir act put together by 30 students from Rahman’s KM Music Conservatory. Gracing the occasion was minister for Information and Broadcasting Ambika Soni.

After Kailash Kher enthralled the audience with some of Rahman’s hit numbers, it was finally time for the maestro to make an entry. The packed auditorium welcomed him with a standing ovation. And while Rahman created magic on the piano, giving him company was Hariharan who belted out tracks like Tu Hi Re. With such a combination, the audience couldn’t really have asked for more. It was indeed one Jai Ho moment. Needless to say, the show ended with the Oscar winning number (News Courtesy : TOI)

AR Rahman Interview | The Telegraphindia ,October 2009

serjas@rahmanism.com (Serjas) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:35:00 +0000

“Jai ho became Jai ho because it was apt for the film, not because it was a great song. It was the right song and that’s why it worked out so well.”

Interviewed by : Pratim D. Gupt | The Telegraph, India

You will be performing in Calcutta after more than six-and-a-half years. Has the Rahman sound changed in this period?

I have never changed my sound intentionally. Most of my soundtracks reflect what film I am doing. It’s only that. It’s never like I want to beat this sound or I want to do something better. But I do change myself. I do not want to do the same thing. I want to keep my job interesting to me.

There have been reports that you have been hiding in Los Angeles…

The three months immediately after the Oscars were hard to handle. Everyone wanted to felicitate me and have me over at social functions and congratulate me in ceremonies. I went to Los Angeles and went back to my music. Now, life is back to normal.

Why did you choose the Vince Vaughn rom com Couples Retreat as your first Hollywood project after Slumdog Millionaire?

I got that offer before I got all the awards for Slumdog Millionaire. Vince Vaughn came to me much before the Oscars. He just saw the movie and he became very emotional and he said: “I want your music for my next film!” I was contemplating whether to accept the movie or not. Then after the Oscars, I went and saw the movie. I felt that it wasn’t a musically sympathetic movie but it was a comedy. And nobody would ever think that a person who did Slumdog would do a comedy next. And I just wanted to experience the whole process of Hollywood. It was a great experience.

What makes it a great experience?

You know just the opportunity to go and work in studios where Mary Poppins and Star Wars were recorded, it’s a great feeling. Also, it was fun working with Vince and with the director of Couples Retreat, Peter (Billingsley). He’s a new guy and it was good.

But Couples Retreat the film has been very poorly received there and the reviews say your music has been under-utilised…

It is a comedy… it’s not a film where there were extraordinary musical situations. It’s also a complicated movie about four couples, who all have resolutions. And some of the score, which is significant in the film, is licensed stuff… like Ennio Morricone’s The Good, The Bad and The Ugly…. I know that this would happen but I had the opportunity of doing a great CD. And the CD is being liked by everyone.

Of the work that has been offered to you in the West, are they all asking for aSlumdog-like score from you?

No. Because they would never want to repeat the same thing. I am in a very extra-ordinary situation where I can do songs and I can do background scores. I have not been typecast… like “He’s a background score guy” or “He can only compose songs”. So, I have been trying to expand on that. Even in Couples, I have done three songs and then I have also done the background.

Do you have a wishlist of producers or directors you want to work with?

No, I don’t want to have a wishlist. Because some things look very small in the beginning and they become bigger in the end. Like Slumdog. And some things look very big at the beginning and end up really small. So I don’t have any wishlist.

Was Slumdog ever small?

Honestly, I would have never sent the score to the Oscars. The makers did. I composed the soundtrack in three weeks flat and didn’t think that it would go on to do what it did.

Do you think it was all because of that one song, Jai ho?

When I saw the film, they had put another song (Shankar Ehsaan Loy’s Aaj ki raat fromDon) and all that dancing was part of the film. At that time, it looked like a mockery of our song and dance. But when they used it in the end credits with Jai ho, it looked really nice. See, Jai ho became Jai ho because it was apt for the film, not because it was a great song. It was the right song and that’s why it worked out so well.

So, you haven’t given any brief to your Hollywood agent?

He is always surprised by my decisions. He said: “It’s (Couples) a comedy! Don’t do a comedy!” I said, why not? So, it goes like that.

How do you plan to balance your work here with your work there?

It’s difficult choosing. I want to keep that little chain of interest of people wanting to hear my music. I don’t want to overdo that. Also, I don’t want to underplay that. So there will be Tamil films, Telugu films, Hindi films and there will be English films too. I want to choose the best projects that complement my music.

Now when you compose for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, is it like a return to roots because you started with his Roja?

It is, in a way. Also, Mani always surprises me. I think that now I know Mani Ratnam. But he surprises me. He keeps pushing me to a place where I am challenged and that’s a great creative spirit. And that’s what I need to keep going, rather than taking each other for granted. There’s something we always want to achieve as a team.

What motivated you to sign this Friday’s big release Blue?

I signed it before the Oscars. New people are really unpredictable. (Blue is directed by debutant Anthony D’Souza.) You never know. Sometimes they are great and sometimes they let you down. Blue also had a big production house like Ashtavinayak supporting the film. Then when I saw the visuals, it seemed like something genuinely interesting, something passionate.

What about the Kylie Minogue experience?

It was all finished in three hours (laughs). She was very fast. Actually it was also one week before the BAFTAs and I also had to finish recording the song.

Why didn’t Farhan Akhtar sing for the Blue soundtrack, as you had wanted?

The song changed from what we wanted to make it. And he wasn’t very sure that the song went with his style of singing and whether he would be able to pull it off. Whether it would be right for him. So I said, okay, we will work on something else later. The song was Fiqrana, actually. And I was happy that Vijay Prakash got a huge opportunity.

What are you planning with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame?

We are planning a lot of things actually. He is a dear friend whom I know for more than eight years now. We are trying to put up a band together, like a super band. Also, he is doing a movie for Nokia and I am helping him out on Indianising it.

What about your own English album?

I am currently working on it. It will have a lot of pop musicians. I am not sure who at this stage. But it is definitely the project I am really looking forward to, after doing so many film soundtracks.

If a director from Bengal walks up to you with his script, would you do the music?

If it’s something special, I would love to do it. If I find it inspiring, I would do it. I have seen a lot of great work coming from here.

But will you charge him a bomb?

Charge is never a problem (smiles)!

Kuru Kuru | AR Rahman (Tamil Lyrics with English Translation) | Listen
Thanks to Tina

Kuru kuru kangalilele. .. (With her teasing eyes)
Enai aval vendraale... (she won me)
Kuru kuru kangalilele. .. (With her teasing eyes)
Enai aval vendraale.. (she won me)

Itho Itho aval enai patham parkiraal... (hmmmmhmmmm) (now now, she takes on me)
Itho Itho aval enai patham parkiraal... (hmmmmhmmmm) (now now, she takes on me)

Siru siru pennilave.. (Will the girl like a small moon become my partner?)
En thunai avaalo..
Siru siru pennilave.. (Will the girl like a small moon satisfy my hunger?)
En pasi theerpalo..

Itho itho aval enai patham parkiral ...(hmmmmhmmmm) (now now, she takes on me)
Itho itho aval enai patham parkiral ...(hmmmmhmmmm) (now now, she takes on me)

Sajna | PJ Morton (English Lyrics updated) | Listen

When you smile, I smile with you,
When you cry, I feel it too,
You are my soul, my heart coming out to you,
Be my eyes when I can’t see,
Be my voice when I can’t speak,
Be my life when darkness creeps on me,

Hoo, sajna sajna sajna re,
Hai just sajna sajna sajna re
Sajna sajna sajna re
Hai just sajna sajna sajna re

Throw the stars that shine so bright,
Cross the sky and cross the night,
Making ways to be right by your side
Hold me close don’t let me go
Hold me tight don’t you say no
Save the love we have for ever more

Ho, sajna sajna sajna re,
Hai just sajna sajna sajna re
Sajna sajna sajna re
Hai just sajna sajna sajna re

Save me, when my dream catches fire
(Spare?) me, in my only desire
Wake me, when the pain is over
Take me, now (Take me, now) ...2
When you smile, I smile with you,
When you cry, I feel it too,
You are my soul, my heart coming out to you,
Be my eyes when I can see,
Be my voice when I can speak,
Be my life when darkness creeps on me,
Through the stars that shine so bright,
Cross the sky and cross the night,
Making ways to be right by your side
Hold me close don’t let me go
Hold me tight don’t you say no
Save the love we have for ever more...

Thanks to ♥ੴ.. נιנσ.. ੴ♥™

A R Rahman likes to work Overnight which was always stopped by the Milkman’s call. I was driven to his home in Saali Gramam by ARR himself in his private Autorickshaw.

I have known him for years. He played the keyboard for my song “Devadoothar Paadi” from Kaathodu Kaathoram, my first film as an independent Music Director. A 15 year old boy who simply plays random tones on his Keyboard while he is in the recording studio. Music was sweeter when edited and mixed by himself on his keyboard. I guess this made him popular among other Music Directors as many of them wanted Rahman for the Orchestration of their songs.

ARR has played Keyboard for over 25 of my films. Ulladakkom, Thoovalsparsham, Witness etc are a few in that list.

Later when he started composing I was invited to play violin for him. We co-composed an Album too and it was titled Welcome 1990. All songs were composed using R K Sekhar’s Harmonium, which he has now kept as a priceless treasure out of anybody else’ reach.

Very few know the fact that Ouseppachan was a part of the Troupe that orchestrated the OSCAR winning songs of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, the composing of which started a long time ago.
