Idea #12 - A. R. Rahman's Thalli Pogathey

Today we saw a lyrical and thematic breakdown of a tamil song - Thalli Pogathey by composer A.R.Rahman.

It talks about why this particular song is considered to be magical, and what sets it apart from other songs. A.R Rahman is known for his experimental melodies and this song is proof of that.

This song does not have a stanza structure and because of the strange new structure, our mind expects the song to go a particular way but it does not adhere to that. The song is all about anticipation, and is composed in a unique way.
