Some memories live on for eternity. In similar lines, some melodies too live on for eternity. That such melody is 'Ooru Sanam Thoongiduche' which was crafted & curated by the musical duo of MS Viswanathan and Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja who were instrumental in composing the tune and layering the structure respectively paving way for providing a song for the ages.
I've always loved the tune of this number with alternate notes coming in to the fore giving such a masterful touch. On top of it the layering in the form of the background music adds the much needed fillip elevating the song to a notch north of the stars. The rendition by Janaki Amma adds to the soulful side thereby enabling to create a monstrous musical monarch that just oozes heart, soul & music in every way possible.
It's been 40 years since the release of Mella Thiranthathu Kadhavu. This will always be a landmark soundtrack as it saw the combination of MSV & IR sharing the baton for the first time and the output created was nothing short of sheer magnificence. Each and every number is a gold studded emblem with free flowing melodies aided with the marvel of re-recording.
This particular song always remains close to the heart and is extra special especially the way charanam prances along meticulously and the way it bridges back to the Pallavi wins over all my love in full earnestness. This is just a minor dab from my end at playing a song that is simply unparalleled in the annals of Tamil Cinema Music.
