What's with the lyricists these days?? What happened to those good old days where each song was first loved for the lyrics and then the tune? I remember spending free time writing lyrics of film songs with my friends and being in awe of the way in which situations were described. Now I'm dumbstruck. You must be living under a rock if you still don't know Why this kolaveri song. Or even that song from Velayutham where the guy describes the girl as an assortment of vegetables in a very weird way. I mean, really, do you really think its good?

I know many people who enjoy such "Songs" and listen to it on loop too! Still... Why? :( I' had lost hope on film music in general. Rockstar songs did help in restoring faith in me a bit :)

Completely agree! I hardly listen to anything non-ARR these days. With Why this kolaiveri, I don't think we can expect anything better when Dhanush is the 'lyricist' (a complete insult to the word itself)

Rockstar songs are beautiful, lyrically and musically :)

Btw, how are you doing? loooooong time really..

Dhanush as lyricist is the icing on cake, literally :D Really sad state. even the lyrics of ravanan were not that hard hitting as, say, ayutha ezhuthu.. :( Thank god for Rockstar :)

I'm doin good.. lazing around as articleship jus got over. how are u? long time.. and where are u these days?

:D Yeah, for me, Raavan was better than Raavanan lyrically, but movie-wise Raavanan was way better obviously. Aayitha Ezhuthu - the most energetic album of ARR I think. In less than 30 minutes, it creates a huuge impact in every way.

That's good to hear.. Are you done with the CA final exams? I am in Belgium only.. Halfway through my PhD..
