Ooru Sanam - Mella Thiranthathu Kathavu

Originally by: S. Janaki
MD: M.S. Viswanathan and Illayaraja

Once again, I picked a classic all of these songs are the trademark voice test songs of any wannabe singer and I am no exception. I tried fiddling with the Audacity software that accomplished blogger Jo suggested, somehow I do not have the finnese that he has in using software for recording over karaoke tracks. It did not sound good - In the end I just stuck to singing with no music.

Although composed by both MDs this has the shades of Illayaraja than MSV. Another song 'dhil dhil dhil manathil' is closer to MSV's style- possibly because P.Suseela has sung it??

I messed up the first stanza (rightly pointed out by my husband Leo) but I really liked the way the second stanza came out.

I had previously posted this ( not as a streaming audio) I decided to try this again as I can never be satisfied with the way this song comes out...if I get the humming right, then I miss some notes in the stanza...if everything seems right, then I miss pronouce some words...God it drives me nuts - but at one point I just had to give up and post it as I figured I can never get this right not even close...

I reposted this song as a streaming audio at the request of our good friends Sathya and Priya. Recorded it a long while back.
