One of the greatest tributes to A.R.Rahman is his ability to match the emotions of the charactor of the songs. It is one true gift non of the other indian composers have failed to master. Of recent, Rahman's albums have the visual effect - songs growing in us after we see the images. Take Kannathil Muthamittaal for example, "Nenjil jil jil" didn't sound great (at least to me) on a few hearing but upon seeing the movie it grew to become the best of the album for the sheer emotion it portrayed of a father trying to calm a troubled daughter. But Rahman does not stop here, he takes his brilliance to a further level. He has created songs which show multiple albums, from happiness to sadness! Here are a few songs which have multiple emotions, and guys pls add whatever you think is appropriate.
1) I'm sorry (one 2 Ka 4)- starts slowly and then SRK tries his very best to imress the kids and its funny and shows a happy mood. suddenly the tempo changes (btw, i dont understand hindi) and SRK is all in sorry mood and the song itself becomes slow and it gives goosebumps to me everytime i hear that part. Then the tempo changes again as his sidekick and Juli show emotions that he shouldnt worry and in line the kids pardon him with "it's ok!" - imagine a song starting with "i'm sorry" and ending with "it's ok!. Out of this world stuff. 2) Mitwa (Lagaan) - What can we say about the last part where Gawri's father comes out to join the team. (If you didnt get Goosebumps listening to that part then truly you are not a music fan). Song was all about getting people in the right mood to fight and everyone was looking away, and then Sukwinder Sing gives such a grand emotional introduction. Out of this world again! Guys pls add more songs with show many emotions in one song!!
