Kannalane ( cover version )- Bombay

My dad completed 74 years on 26th of April. My love for music is definitely partly from him. He is very loyal to C.Ramachandra, the VR combo, G.Ramanathan, Ilayaraaja amongst a notable few. But somehow along the way, think he froze in time…… ARR is not someone he really acknowledges, so this is yet another attempt of mine to make him see that ARR can rock too :)

Best wishes on your birthday Appa, hope you have many more healthy birthdays to come!

Monster of a song by Chitra, and just an absolutely beautiful melody by ARR. Somehow I always envisioned this as an emotional roller coaster, thanks to each line showing a conflicting emotion. Hope you all enjoy this.

Movie: Bombay
Original music by: A R Rahman
Originally sung by: Chitra
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Cover version & Mix: Meera

Excellent. The opening "kannalane" proably needed a wee bit more sustain..
Yeah, a tribute to Chitra, who deserves all our prayers and love in her hour of tragedy.
With prayers for Chitra and est wishes to you.

You are singing much slowly than the original song. Not sure if it was intentional.
