Oru Poomaram - Malayalam Self Composition

Hi...

This was my maiden venture into composing... Always loved to sing soft soothing songs, may it be film songs or original compositions..

This song was written by my friend Sindhu Nair, whom I met on Orkut.. She writes lovely poems, with a nostalgic touch.. I loved this poem of hers as soon as I read it on the "Malayalam Kavidhakal" community in Orkut.. Was craving to get this poem composed as a song..



Song: Oru Poomaram...
Genre: Soul
Music: Prathap Sounderraj
Singer: Sushanth Shankar
Lyrics: Sindhu Nair
Studio: Deepam Studios


This is when I met my friend Prathap who was my senior at the BMS College of Engg and was also the lead of the Indian Music Team at college.. I met Prathap after about 4 years and was thrilled to know that he could make the arrangements to work on this song and get it recorded!!! Prathap is a wonderful multi-talented musician, who plays the keyboard, guitar, mouth organ and what not!! Finally, both of us met up one Saturday afternoon and worked on composing this song..

Trust me, with the help of his easy flowing soothing chords, we had no difficulty in coming up with the tune of the song! Ideas just kept flowing like river water! To say the least, the song was complete in a matter of 2 hours!!! :)

Prathap.. I have always admired him as a wonderful musician and also a very sweet person at heart! Enjoyed working with him on this song!!

Here, I present you the outcome of the combined effort of the 3 of us! This is a short video clip I made using some of the pictures I clicked on my mobile phone! Apologies for the lack of clarity of the images.. Hope you all like it..

Pazham Thamizh Paatu - Manichitrathaazhu (Cover) by Sushanth

Hi Friends,

Here I present before you an all time favourite of mine! This song is from the movie "Manichitrathaazhu", a Mohanlal starrer.. This was a blockbuster back in the 90's. This movie went on to be re-made in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and also in Hindi. However, many who have watched the original still liked the original version of the movie.



This movie had some wonderful songs, scored by the great composer Sri M.G. Radhakrishnan and the lyrics penned by Sri Bichu Thirumala.. These songs are still remembered & cherished by most of the people.
