Impact of the song
A hauntingly beautiful song with enchanting voices, moving lyrics, magical instrumentation and a brilliant guitar solo that introduces a song that is rich in layered instrumentation. It is a song that reaches deeply into one’s soul through its words and melody.
Vocal rendition
Sanjay Subrahmaniyam’s voice dominates this duet – not because he has more portions, but simply through the intensity of his performance. Ananya Bhat provides superb support in a song where the matching of voices has beautiful parallels with the lyrics.
Lyrics
There is a freshness to the words that combine beauty, innocence and the depth of sincere love. The song certainly does not seem long enough and one yearns for more because of the strong connect between song and soul.
Final Analysis
This is one of the best songs in a greatly varied soundtrack which explores various emotions and music styles. For those who thought that this 81-year old composer is no longer relevant to today’s audiences, this song (and this album) will change that perception immediately.
