Echoes of the Maestro – Song 50 – Nee irukkum
Shifting gears to a different song from the Rajnikanth repertoire, “Nee Irukkum” is a recent Tamil song composed by Illayaraja, who also penned the lyrics for the movie Jama. I believe this song may have slipped under the radar for many, so I wanted to bring it to everyone’s attention.
The music is very simple, heart-stirring but sends butterflies into your stomach of that Love you have/had. Instead of throwing us off like his early stages of Film Music as the veteran who has seen everything Raaja appa stays his course but brings out a different music altogether. The best way to enjoy this song is while you’re in bed and about to sleep, if you have good headphones wear them, play this song, close your eyes, and Thank me later.
