Echoes of the Maestro – Song 47 – Sennorita, I Love You
Johnny is one of the wholesome albums from Illayaraja and it’s hard for people to not love the songs. One of my all-time favorites is Senorita, I Love You. What’s interesting about this song is that the prelude sets a different mood than the rest of the song. It starts off with high energy, then when the lyrics begin, the music mellows down. It feels like Illayaraja is expressing the initial excitement the lovers have and then the comfort between lovers through the music. It’s really exciting to analyze older songs like this.
