As I listen to this song today in Blogswara, I am simply astonished. From the original version that I sent to JO last year to what it is today, It's an awesome journey indeed. Never in my dreams did I think that it would finally end up the way it is today.I don't distinctly remember how this song really came up. All I wanted to do, was to write / sing something that everyone experiences in life ie. LOVE.
As usual, I wrote/sang it and sent my composition to JO and asked his opinon. He said he liked it and sang it a few weeks later. You'll notice as you listen, he gave a lot of life to that song. Very typical of JO.
Then came another wonderful musician AJIT GOPALAKRISHNAN. I had asked him if he could do the orchestration ( He was on his Summer vacation). Within a few weeks he came up with the orchestration and I loved it. As you listen to Ajit's version, you'll notice IR's impact on his music.
Finally for BLS-1, BARANI, ENCORE AND NANDU gave a new dimension to this song. As a composer and a writer I feel very honored by the final outcome.
So, here are the first 3 versions of this song. Pardon my voice as usual.
My Original Version
JO sings it and gives Life
Ajith adds IR's touches

Hi Nandu,
Thanks for your thoughts.
Like I said..I never imagined the final outcome. As you can see, JO first moulded it so nicely to give it life.
It is really nice to see how a song is formed up. I am fortunate to be a part of this.
And Barani made this a super cool song with his wonderful rendition.
It is indeed nice to se the evolution of the song. Very nice guys ~!
