And not surprisingly, AR Rahman is the music composer for most of these songs.
As will be apparent from my list, my own favorite lyricists are Vairamuthu in Tamil and Javed Akhtar in Hindi. Anyway, I think Indians are very fortunate to have brilliant poets and song writers in their languages.
I have attempted to interpret them in English as accurately as possible, although I cannot guarantee that it is flawless. There is no single reason why I like these lyrics - it is usually a combination of reasons that involve both substance and style, e.g., the sincerity of the emotional expression, the depth of the metaphors, the vividity of the "verbal imagery", the structure of the rhyme, the alliteration, the apt use of repetition, the "musicality" of the words, the meaning, the possibility of multiple interpretations, or even something more elusive like "how it makes me feel"! :DĪlmost all of the excerpts below are in either Tamil or Hindi/Urdu. In this post, I gather a list of my most favorite lyrical excerpts (not in any particular order). One of the most important aspects of a song, at least for me, is the lyrics. I listen to songs in Tamil, Hindi, English, and some other languages everyday, mostly from albums made for Indian movies or standalone albums by artists. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I enjoy poetry, songs and music.
