Music & Lyrics

" Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers "

- Garth Brooks, American Country Music Star

(Lyrics from his hit song 'Unanswered Prayers')

Singing along to some of the best country songs on on my way to work and back has become a daily ritual for me. I turn on the radio in my car and tune in to 96.9 FM - The Kat even before I turn on the ignition. I have become a big fan of country music off late. I love these songs - amazing compositions, meaningful lyrics (for a change), just enough instrumentals and brilliant melodies.

Most of the hit songs are very well written with beautiful story lines and have tunes that will just 'stick' to you. I find myself humming these tunes all day (which is actually annoying sometimes :) ).

Here are some of my recent favorites on youtube. Do listen to them and let me know what you think!

Love Story by Taylor Swift (lyrics)
Home Grown by Zac Brown Band (lyrics)
I'll Walk by Bucky Covington (lyrics in the video)
She Never Cried in Front of Me by Toby Keith (lyrics)
Start a Band by Brad Paisley/Keith Urban (lyrics in the video)
Baby Girls by SugarLand (Lyrics)
In color by Jamey Johnson (Lyrics)

Enjoy!!

The Language of the Soul

A beautiful song from the Tamil movie 'Mozhi' (English: Language). A wonderful melodious tune by Vidayasagar and superb rendition by singer Balram. The beauty of the song really lies in its lyrics penned by Vairamuthu .

Kaatrin Mozhi Oliyaa? Isaiyaa?
Poovin Mozhi Niramaa? Manamaa?
Kadalin Mozhi Alaiyaa? Nuraiyaa?
Kaadhal Mozhi Vizhiyaa? Idhazhaa?

Iyarkaiyin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharin Mozhigal Thevai illai
Idhayathin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharku Mozhiye Thevai illai....

Kaatrin Mozhi Oliyaa? Isaiyaaa?
Poovin Mozhi Niramaa? Manamaa?

Kaatru Veesum bothu Thisaigal Kidayaathu
Kaadhal Pesum bothu Mozhigal Kidaiyaathu
Pesum Vaarthai Pola Mounam Puriyaathu
Kangal Pesum Vaarthai Kadavul Ariyaathu
Ulavi Thiriyum Kaatruku Uruvam Theeta Mudiyaathu
Kadhal Pesum Mozhiyellam Sabthakootil Adangaathu

Iyarkaiyin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharin Mozhigal Thevai illai
Idhayathin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharku Mozhiye Thevai illai....

Kaatrin Mozhi.....

Vaanam Pesum Pechu Thuliyaai Veliyaagum
Vaanavillin Pechu Niramaai Veliyaagum
Unnmai Oomai Aanal Kaneer Mozhi Aagam
Pennmai Oomai Aanal Naanam Mozhi Aagum
Osai Thoongum Jaamathil Ucchi Meengal Mozhiyaagum
Aasai Thoongum Idhayathil Asaivu Kooda Mozhiyaagum

Iyarkaiyin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharin Mozhigal Thevai illai
Idhayathin Mozhigal Purinthuvidil
Manitharku Mozhiye Thevai illai....

Kaatrin Mozhi.....
