I don’t really remember if I have written about this song in detail earlier or not, but I can tell you that even after a couple of decades, it’s still up there in the list of soothing songs of ARR. What lovely vocals and instrumentals!

ARR surely knows how to tap into the beauty of a raagam like Dwijavanti (or is some part Sahana? That confusion remains till date for me). But the surprise here is the way it has been used not to express happiness which is what those raagams are all about, but to express longing, regret and repent.

A gentle rhythm, a slow tempo, mellow voices, piano, flute and violin aiding the feel softly in the background. The only time when the pace picks up is during that very beautiful violin interlude which appears to bring out all the pent up emotions. The song ends with a closing keyboard/piano which reminds me of the soothing phrases of Thendrale from Kadhal Desam.
