Voices: Sid Sriram, Aparna Narayanan, ADK
Lyrics: Thamarai
Dreams are real only when they don't let you sleep;
'Thalli Pogadhe' is one such dreamy composition. It needs no
introduction that this compelling number has had all ears tuning in and
hearts hooked to it, since its promo, merely to a minute long of it. In
its fullness at four and half minutes, the song is pure bliss. Starting
on a distant echoing hum, against heartthrob-like drum beats, it is Sid
Sriram's voice that opens the song.
A small flute note here, some keys there, a little
chime, and a steady complement of orchestra - the song is a spell of
magic. Aparna's rendition is heard only as part of the background score,
but this is what adds depth to this heart rending number. The song
doesn't have a set rhythmic tune to follow, but flows free, yet
focussed, like a stream of glacial fresh water. It is towards the last
minute that the song assumes a fixed rhythm and beat. Enhancing the raw
purity is Dinesh Kanagaratnam's solid voice for the trailing rap treat.
'Thalli Pogadhe' is a song that bores deep into the darkest corners of
your heart and pumps out the truest of emotions.
