Slow Melodious and Soulful Songs
Many years back, I happened to hear this song from the movie Geetanjali (Telugu) – Aamani Paadave Koyilaa. I liked it so much. So, I decided to buy a cassette. But I didn’t get the Telugu version and ended up buying the Tamil version of the same movie -Idhayathai Thirudathe. For some reason, the magic that was there in the Telugu version was not there in the dubbed Tamil version, even though the songs were great, no doubt! At that time getting the songs we like was quite difficult. But now, anything and everything is just a click away from us. Even though technology has brought so much within our reach, most of the time, we are lost in this big net of WWW.
Secondly, we are plain lucky to be from India, which has a regional language and a regional culture every 1000 Kilometers. That means that there are also regional songs. I have heard some wonderful Malayalam, Oriya and Bengali songs but have no idea about the album or the song so that I could buy it or listen to it online.
Thirdly, I know Tamil, Hindi and Telugu. But there are lot of Tamil people who do not have an exposure to Hindi songs and vice versa. Even I do not have knowledge about Telugu movies and songs.
So, for all the above reasons I want to create a Tag where some collaboration between the music loving Bloggers is required. My favorite songs are the slow, melodious and soulful (Hence the title). Hence I tag my fellow Bloggers and all the people who happen to read this post to let us know your favorite songs in your regional language/ Hindi / English. You can either do it as a post in your blog and intimate me in the comments section (I will link that post from here). Or, you could just do this tag in the comments section of this post itself (Even if you don’t have a website, just type www.nothing.com if a website name is asked in any column while commenting).
I am doing this tag first (Minimum 10 Songs, in two different languages please):

In the meantime so far among sites that I've tried, I've found it easy to hear music on http://www.raaga.com (but yeah we need broadband… I think its pretty reasonably priced nowadays in India, and from so many providers, hope you consider it and get the benefits!)

@Solilo: I was actually confused between that song you mentioned and the other song that I have put…
I think not many English songs I have been able to get through this tag, so please do.
@Priya Iyer: Please list good Gujju songs, I have not heard even one till now!
@Nimmy: Thanks for the Malayalam songs especially. And even some of the Hindi songs that you have mentioned – I have not heard them before!
@Vishesh: Thanks for doing the tag. The symphonies you linked were interesting.
@Sanjay: I would like you to list your favorite Kannada songs. I have broadband at my house in Chennai but in Bangalore, I am managing with my edge connectivity (Except for video/audio, this one is quite ok for browsing).
@Aiz: Thanks for the correction, I will correct the name of the movie soon. If you look in to the songs I have suggested, I have included only those songs of ARR that have not been a national hit. Otherwise, this list would have been full of ARR!
Destination Infinity
@Reema: I am listening to the songs you linked right now in the other browser window! The old hindi collections are amazing!!
@Molly: Which language(s)?
@Kanagu: Can you do the tag separately for new songs and old songs in Tamil? I want someone to do this tag for old songs in Tamil.
@Radha: Thanks for doing the tag in so many languages and so many options…. I will listen to the variation of the Italian songs today and link that too from here…
@TAS: Thanks for the link, that's exactly the song I was looking for but this Raaga jukebox doesn't seem to work for me! It says loading and keeps loading! BTW why don't you do this tag in your blog? We know you have an eye for picking up the best from the internet.
@Biju Matthews: I think you have listed your favorite malayalam songs in your blog. I will check it soon. Tamil and Hindi, I am quite familiar with already.
Destination Infinity
@Wortman: In that five songs that you added later, 1 song was very good. Thanks for those songs, this is the first time that I am listening to German songs!
@Chirag: Please do it in French. We would love to hear them…. BTW what is your mother tongue?
@Su: Thanks for the Kannada songs especially. I am doing that tag today.
Can someone do this tag in Oriya, Marathi, North/eastern languages? Why no contributions from Punjabi/Rajasthani etc???
Destination Infinity
anybody did it in URDU? this language is simply awsome and cool when sung!!
Let us see if someone does yet….
Destination Infinity
As pointed by Aiz, Janani song is from Thai Moogambigai.
I guess you mistook it for Paarthavizhi from Guna.
I am till now confused as to which is better!! That's why I am not able to update.
Destination Infinity
nice to hear, infinity 🙂
🙂
Wow! Thats a lovely tag. Wud love to take it.
Please do it and drop in a comment…. We would love to listen : But which languages are you planning to do this in?
Destination Infinity
My mother tongue is Kannada. Have done it in Hindi and Kannada. Really enjoyed doing it; was listening to the Kannada songs after such a long time; thanks to the tag.
And Man of Roma has done this tag because tagged by Reema, in Italian and English (= American songs from Americans of Italian origin).
So you are the one who started all this. A very good idea.
I'm a 60-year-old man from Rome, Italy and this tag thing gave me the opportunity to relive my first youth, when, in the post-war period (WWII,) my country was struggling for survival.
There were not even cassettes at that time 🙂
Great periods of stress and suffering sometimes brings out the best of the arts. I mean, as an aftermath. The periods of resurgence is sometimes better than the arrogance of the good times. They may even help us rediscover ourselves without the associated ego's.
Heard the songs, and i have put my favorites among them in the comments.
Destination Infinity
Thank you Destination Infinity (I'm now replying to your comment at my blog). As you know for us ww2 has been a tragedy. But the Italians have this virtue (is it a virtue?) of turning tragedy into comedy sometimes lol.
