A.R. Rahman's live concert in Chennai

Thanks a lot to "The Times of India" for organized such a wonder live concert of music maestro our A.R. Rahman.



A.R. Rahman performs at ‘Changing Notes’, a live concert on Sunday (20-April-2008).

Chennai’s most musical son performed for a 50,000-strong audience in his hometown after years. A.R. Rahman himself started the show saying, “I haven’t heard sound and cheering like this in at least last two years.”

The songs were as thoughtfully ordered as they were chosen. Rhythm alternated with melody, classical with rap and rock. A.R. Rahman opened the show and then retreated behind his keyboard.

The tempo built up as Shankar Mahadevan took over from him with "Kadal Ilaiyo", and Hariharan followed with "Vaji Vaji Sivaji". Kartik had the audience roaring with the rock-based "Enakoru Girlfriend Venum" from Boys, and then the calm Jaaved Ali appeared to soothe the audience with Jashn-e-Bahaara from Jodhaa Akbar. There were some wonderful old-world moments capturing Chennai’s ability to blend the classical and the contemporary.

And of course 50,000-strong audience hearts were stolen by my favourite song "Pray for me Brother" once again.
And I'm really happy to be a part that show as a great fan of A.R. Rahman.

Thanks a lot to everyone those who were all behind such a wonderful music concert.

Rhapsody - AR Rahman's Pray for me Brother

One of my favourite song from A.R. Rahman, though its favourite for me; its stolen millions of hearts!




Lyrics

Pray For Me Brother (2007)
Composed by A.R.Rahman
Lyrics by Blaaze
Singers: A.R.Rahman and Blaaze

Pray for me brother
Pray for me brother
Pray for me sister
Are you searchin’...
Pray for me brother

Lookin’ for the answers To all the questions In my life
Will I be alone Will you be there By my side
Is it something he said Is it something he did
I wonder why He is searchin’ For the answers
To stay alive

Could you ever listen Could you ever care
To speak your mind
Only for a minute For only one moment
In time

The joy is around us But show me the love
That we must find
Are you searchin’ For a reason to be kind, to be kind...
He said... Pray for me brother

Pray for me brother Pray for me sister
Pray for me brother Say
what you wanna say now
But keep your hearts open
Be what you wanna be now
Let’s heal the confusion
Pray for me brother

Don’t let me take When you don’t wanna give
Don’t be afraid Just let me live
Don’t let me take When you don’t wanna give
Don’t be afraid Say what you wanna say now
But keep your hearts open

Be what you wanna be now Let’s heal the confusion
Pray for me brother Pray for me brother
I’m ashamed ah, brother be dying of poverty
when he down on his knees its only then he prays
And it’s a shame ah, brother be dying of ignorance
cos the world is a trip and everybody’s a hypocrite
Need to stop ah , taking a look at the other
I’m not ashamed of poverty
need to be making his life better
So think about it, think about it once more
cos life is a blessing and it’s not justa show, ah
Round and round the world is spinning around

We need to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Round and round the world is turning around
We need to be singing a prayer, we need to be singing it now
Need to be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need to coming together just to win this race

Need to be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith
We need to coming together just to win this race
We need to coming together just to win this race
Are you searching for a reason to be kind ?

I'm expecting this song on A.R. Rahman's live concert in Chennai on 20th April 2008. Hope millions of heart stolen song will be done once more!.

Stepping into a New Year with a hope of love...

Stepping into a New Year with a hope of love and peace of mind, though life gives lots of lessons by good and bad times, they are all the parts of life.

As today is the starting day of one more year in my life, lots of thoughts comes in my mind here and there, do we really satisfied by as what we are now. Hopefully I’m not since lots of things have to achieve in life, as not like climbing the Everest Mountain, deep dive into the sea and touch the whale… but live life to help others as much as I can.

May be this day will lead me to find the path of helping others; and not only finding the path but also walk through the path with you all.
