Its amazing isn't it? Last night, we were listening to PP, KM, KK, AE, etc. One cannot help but think about how ARR is able to create so much...album after album, year after year. Why does his music touch you like nothing else. Is there something wrong with you or is everything just too right with his music?
I know exactly what you feel when you are trying to compose. Sometimes its so frustrating. Not being able to get a melody that you believe will move people. ARR has raised the bar to unbelievable dizzy heights. And to know that he beats himself each time. There's a lot more to ARR than his unprecedented talent, knowledge, technical wizardry, wisdom. Spirituality? That could be the key. As H. Sridhar mentioned in a recent interview, it must be amazing to see a different ARR emerging after his prayers, going to his studio and creating history. I can visualize the glow on his face, knowing that there's a power that will guide him through the next challenge too. Of course, in all his humility, ARR has always attributed his success to God. For me, he is the Chosen One. I think the majority of us will never know exactly how ARR composes, and I don't mean just the technical approach. It is so intriguing. If there's a way we could know, without stepping into his privacy, it would be wonderful. I know there are many composers in this Group like Rano, Shyam, Prashant, Sam, Ashwin, etc. How has your experience been when you are sitting in front of your keys?
