What is important is that this is similar to Sumam prathi sumam in that sense but at the same time, it is not the suffocating, continuous escalation of melody stakes. The melodies in various parts of the song escalate, as Suresh observed in other contexts, and keep surprising you with the turns. The economy of that humming in janaki's voice is a measured and deliberate tool in Raja's hands. Nijamu naa swapnam - SPB, with janaki humming just that microsec inbetween. That SPB is a part of many of these probably tells us why he stuck to them instead of experimenting. I always thought voice was a functional necessity for IR but once very often, you get songs like this which tells you he is very aware of the utility of voices as an instrument by itself. This album is as much spb-janaki's as IR's. The thick green groves and the smell of fresh mud is what I get here. There is something intensely telugu and godavari about this song that I can't place my fingers on. You can feel the gentle mild waves of godaaramma lapping your feet, though the reference to godavar is purely metaphorical here. Vayyari godaaramma is really a delicous song. Even during the assembly line peak of his in telgu, out comes such a unique stunner of an album. I haven't heard of this movie but caught these songs a year ago. Have been looping on vayyari godaaramma last 2 days!
