when you get this ask you have to answer with 5 of ur fav songs and then send this ask to 10 of ur favourite followers :)

(only if you want to though!)

Oh ho ho! What a lovely surprise to see this in my ask box! 1. June in January. I love this, partially because it's one of the few winter songs that's explicitly not about Christmas, and because the month of January is so often associated with austerity and deprivation. It's nice to have a song dedicated to a month that doesn't get much other than diet fads, even if the song's message is very "the weather is terrible but love makes it beautiful." The Jo Stafford version is the one I grew up listening to.

2. Continuing on with winter songs, because it's snowing here and I love it, we have Snow by Loreena Mckennitt. (The version on To Drive the Cold Winter Away is better than the one on A Winter Garden/ A Midwinter Night's Dream, and I'll fight for this.)

3. I listened to The Mary Ellen Carter a lot last year (I was going through some things). It's a lovely blend of multiple great folk song genres, such as "songs about heists" and "songs about ships." The original is by Stan Rogers, but I discovered this cover version first:

4. This whole album is an old favorite of mine. The recorder is a highly underrated instrument, and it's a lot of fun to show this to people who've never heard a recorder nicer than the $3 plastic ones.

5. As far as I can tell, A. R. Rahman has never in his life composed a bad song. Mellia, I know you've already seen and enjoyed Jodhaa Akbar, so instead of Jashn-e-Bahaara, I give you this one (I didn't love the movie, but the song's a certified banger):

Anyways, the place is so beautifully portrayed in the books, the characters are so well written, and everything is just brilliant that I want to visit the places described in the books that I fell in love with.

Internationally, there are so many beautiful countries. But I've wanted to visit Ardmore, Ireland ever since I read Nora Robert's Gallaghers series (14-year-old me dreamt of picturesque country roads, abandoned castles, faeries and cliffs rising from the seas) 😋

Today's shameless promotion is for a show I've never seen and probably never will, and honestly? That might be for the best. Because while I adore the soundtrack for Lord of the Rings: The Musical, and the official clips on Youtube look amazing, I've heard the actual show is a bit of a, well, mess. And the incredibly complicated staging and huge cast mean it never toured and probably never will. But oh, the music!

The two group Hobbit songs ("The Road Goes On" and "The Cat and the Moon") are rousing crowd pleasers. The duet between Sam and Frodo as they try to keep their spirits up during the long road to Mordor ("Now and For Always") makes me tear up no matter how many times I hear it, it's so perfect for them and the story.

The Elves' big number, "Lothlorien," is beautiful. Gimli's "Lament for Moria" is... okay, look, to be honest the first couple times I heard it I assumed it was in Dwarvish because I couldn't make out the lyrics. XD But Aragorn and Arwen's "Song of Hope," is sweet and romantic with appropriate epic overtones.

Also, Gollum (and Smeagol) get a monologue on the CD that always freaks me out before I remember to skip it. XD (Not because it's bad, I just don't like Gollum and don't want to listen to him scheme, and it's like the audio equivalent of a jump scare when it starts.)

If you're familiar with Lord of the Rings (and if you're not, this musical is probably not for you), you may be wondering, "how did they boil all that plot into one musical, however long?" and from the reviews I've read, the answer is "not well."

Apparently it was more like a ballet/cirque du soleill sequence of set pieces, with some weird Hobbit pantomime-type stuff in-between? Which is fine as long as you know that's what you're in for. (Note: still mad about the time I went to see Movin' Out, the Billy Joel jukebox musical, without realizing it was ballet for middle-aged dudes.) There's a video on Youtube that attempts to recreate the whole show from various illicit videos, and gonna be honest, I made it through about three minutes before deciding the pictures in my head didn't need supplanting.

I just looked up the composers for the purpose of this post (why had that never occurred to me before?), and A R Rahman's discography has it's own Wikipedia page. O_O So that's a famous and prolific Bollywood composer; Värttinä, a Finnish folk band I'm going to be looking up as soon as I'm done writing this; and a guy who doesn't have his own page on Wikipedia but according to IMDB has been doing Marvel movies. So, that's definitely an interesting trio.

Speaking of research, apparently a production has been announced for this summer!! ...In Newbury, England. ::sigh:: In a 200-seat theater, no less, with reasonable ticket prices, so clearly some revisions to the staging and cast have been made, and it's being marketed as "semi-immersive" and oh, suddenly I'm quite sad I don't have the budget to vacation in the UK this summer. (If any of you see it, don't tell me if it's good now. It will only hurt me if it is.)

Right, jealousy of people able to go aside, if you like Lord of the Rings and you like musicals, do yourself a huge favor and listen to the soundtrack. I guarantee you'll love it.

Vijay Yesudas’s Role in Reviving Malayalam Music

Vijay Yesudas, an illustrious name in the Indian music industry, has carved out a remarkable career despite the towering legacy of his father, the legendary playback singer K. J. Yesudas. While being born into musical royalty opened many doors, it also came with the burden of great expectations. Vijay’s journey is a testament to his resilience, talent, and unwavering determination to establish his own identity. This article explores how Vijay Yesudas has redefined his father’s legacy and created his own unique space in the world of music and entertainment.

The Early Influences

Born on March 23, 1979, Vijay Yesudas grew up in a household steeped in music. Watching his father perform and practice provided him with a profound understanding of the craft from an early age. However, this exposure was a double-edged sword. The standards set by K. J. Yesudas, with his unmatched voice and numerous accolades, were daunting for anyone to live up to. For Vijay, it wasn’t just about imitating his father’s style — it was about finding his own voice and carving out his individual identity.

During his formative years, Vijay underwent rigorous classical training. The discipline instilled by his father helped him master the nuances of Carnatic music, a foundation that later influenced his versatility as a playback singer. However, the decision to pursue a professional career in music was not immediate. Vijay took his time to refine his craft and understand the dynamics of the ever-evolving music industry.

Stepping Out of the Shadow

Breaking away from the shadow of a towering figure like K. J. Yesudas required courage and a clear vision. Vijay Yesudas made a strategic decision to forge his own path in playback singing, rather than rely on his father’s reputation. His debut in the music industry was marked by initial struggles, but his dedication and commitment soon paid off.

His breakthrough came with chart-topping songs in the Malayalam film industry. Tracks like “Kolakuzhal Vili Ketto” showcased his emotive singing style and his ability to bring depth to a melody. As he gained recognition, Vijay began to experiment with different languages and genres, broadening his appeal beyond the South Indian audience. This versatility became a hallmark of his career, setting him apart from other singers of his generation.

Signature Singing Style

Vijay Yesudas is known for his ability to convey a wide range of emotions through his singing. Whether it’s the haunting romance of “Malare” from Premam or the playful energy of “Maangalyam” from Bangalore Days, Vijay’s voice has a unique texture that resonates with listeners. His mastery over modulation allows him to adapt to the mood of any song, making him a favorite among music directors.

Unlike many singers who specialize in a particular genre, Vijay has successfully balanced classical and contemporary music. This adaptability has not only kept him relevant in a competitive industry but also allowed him to cater to diverse audiences. Critics often praise his ability to maintain a perfect blend of technical precision and emotional expression — a skill honed through years of practice and a deep understanding of music.

Collaborations and Career Milestones

One of the defining aspects of Vijay’s career has been his collaborations with some of the biggest names in the Indian music industry. From working with legends like Ilaiyaraaja and A. R. Rahman to teaming up with contemporary composers like Gopi Sundar and Anirudh Ravichander, Vijay has consistently delivered memorable performances.

His career milestones include numerous awards, such as multiple Kerala State Film Awards and Filmfare Awards South. These accolades are not just a testament to his talent but also reflect his ability to consistently push the boundaries of his craft. Each award represents a significant chapter in his journey, reaffirming his position as one of the leading playback singers of his generation.

Beyond Playback Singing

While playback singing remains his primary domain, Vijay Yesudas has also ventured into acting, adding another dimension to his career. His role as a villain in the Tamil film Maari received critical acclaim, proving that his talents extend beyond music. Vijay’s ability to balance multiple aspects of his career while maintaining excellence in each is a reflection of his dedication and versatility.

Overcoming Challenges

The journey to success was not without its challenges. Being constantly compared to his father was perhaps the greatest hurdle Vijay had to overcome. However, he embraced these comparisons as motivation rather than a burden. He focused on developing his unique style and identity, which eventually earned him widespread recognition.

Another challenge was staying relevant in an industry that is constantly evolving. Vijay tackled this by continually experimenting with his music and exploring new genres. Whether it’s a soulful melody or a high-energy dance number, Vijay’s willingness to step out of his comfort zone has ensured his enduring popularity.

Conclusion

Vijay Yesudas journey is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and self-belief. He has not only honored the legacy of his father but has also redefined it by carving out a distinct identity in the world of music and cinema. His ability to balance tradition with modernity, classical training with contemporary trends, and familial expectations with personal aspirations has made him an icon in his own right.
