A lullaby ???

Yes.

Generally, Raja sir used to create 4 to 5 tunes for a situation and the director has to pick the tune they want. So, what happened here? The tunes of this song was an alternate tune to the lullaby song "Thenpandi Cheemayilae" from the same movie. 😍💯 (Watch out the video clips to know how this tune fits a lullaby category) Click to watch 👈

Mani sir heard the tune and he loved it so much that he asked Raja sir, "This tune is really nice, Can you make it a little bit faster, faster enough to dance?" The beautiful "Aaraaro.. Aaraaro" becomes energetic

"Oiyyaa oyyee.. adhu ena oyyee!" 

Now it does looks like even Velu Naiyakkar's ship dances to the tunes of Raja sir while sailing! 🚢

Isn't it? 

🔴 The backing beats : துடும் துடும்;

The chorus : "ஹோய்யா ஹோய்.. ஹோய்யா ஹோய்"

"க்கஜும்.. க்கஜும்.. க்கஜும்"

The sounds when the goods are being unloaded,

The sounds of a moving ship! 

Perfection! 

🔴 Some of the instruments used to relate the lullaby tune to the situation apart from the chorus are Tenor Saxophone, Mandolin, Drums, Bass Guitar, Synth. The beautiful saxophone stands proudly alone throughout the song. This is how a lullaby became a groovy beats number.

🔴 Rhythmic lyrics with deep philosophy conveyed in a very simple language written by the Maestro himself. 💫

"பொன்னுக்கும் (for golds)

 பொண்ணுக்கும் (for girls)

 அடிதடிதான்..

மண்ணுக்குப் போகிற உலகத்திலே!

பசிக்குது பசிக்குது தினம்தினம்தான்..

தின்னா பசியது தீர்ந்திடுதா?"
