top ten songs of the year so far - kollywood

The year , almost a three fourth done , its really a pity that the quality of songs have dropped drastically , that only 4 or 5 films qualify for some decent music . Techno stuff have probably made music redundant to listen. The purity of sangathis stand facing a big question mark . Except for some standard music directors , others continue to disappoint. The plus points as far as the year until september is concerned :

a . Rahman back with a bang ! some good scope provides him the required breakthrough from a jinx taunting him for some 4 years or so.

b . Harris Jeyaraj , now a household name amongst tamilians , hits three successfull albums, 2 of which topped the charts as and when they were released. Though he has a peculiar and quite observable similarity in his
compositions , the tunes and sense of beat are just amazing to make them hits. Way to go, considering that in today's age songs r more of a pre-hype to the release of a movie.

c . Yuvan Shankar Raja - king of the trade , knows all the nuances of a success , (though not authorised ones) like redoing his father's legendary works and those from other legends before and after his father.

The jingling bells ring a monotone so pure,
human distinction can't reproduce for sure,
it runs through the veins and into the soul,

and plunges deep, this aint something foul.

The stringent chords do strike a rhyme,
and make records, with tide and time,
yet, they blare rudely on those timid hearts
and burst their little shafts, they are bygone charts.

Yet there is some music, supra naturally great,
the one with neither a beginning nor an end,on slate,
the body like a feather, bows sublimely to its date,
the show goes on and on ... it never gets late !
