ee sambhashane (Kannada)
(English translated text below)
ಮರೆಯುವ ಮುನ್ನ: ಕನ್ನಡ ಕೆರೋಕೆ ಅಂತರ್ಜಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಗುವ ಸ್ಥಳ ಗೊತ್ತಾ? ನನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿ ಪ್ಲೀಸ್!
ಹಳೆಯ ಗೀತೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅತಿ ‘ಮಧುರ’ವಾಗಿರುವ ಮತ್ತು ನನಗೆ ಅಚ್ಚು ಮೆಚ್ಚಿನದಾಗಿರುವ ಒಂದು ಹಾಡನ್ನು ಹಾಡಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಈ ಬಾರಿ ಎಖೊ, ರಿ-ವೆರ್ಬ್, ಮತ್ತು ಮಿಕ್ಸಿಂಗ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗಮನ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ, ನಿಮಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಇಷ್ಟ ಆಯಿತೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿ.
ಹಾಡು: ಈ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆ
ಚಿತ್ರ: ಧರ್ಮಸೆರೆ (1979)
ಗಾಯಕರು: ಎಸ್.ಪಿ.ಬಿ ಮತ್ತು ಎಸ್.ಜಾನಕಿ
ಗೀತ ರಚನೆ: ವಿಜಯ ನಾರಸಿಂಹ
ಸಂಗೀತ: ಉಪೇಂದ್ರಕುಮಾರ್
ಈ ಹಾಡು ಉಪೇಂದ್ರಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರ ಮುಂಚಿನ ಗೀತೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು.
ಈ ಹಾಡನ್ನು ‘ಮೋಹನ’ ರಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ, ವಿಜಯನಾರಸಿಂಹ ಅವರೇ ಬರೆದಂತೆ ‘ಸುಂದರ ಸುಲಲಿತ’ ವಾಗಿ ಉಪೇಂದ್ರಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರು ಸಂಯೋಜಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅಲ್ಲಲ್ಲಿ ಗಮಕಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಚನ್ನಾಗಿ ಅಳವಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅದೇ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ನನಗೆ ಈ ಹಾಡು ಹಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ತುಂಬ ಇಷ್ಟ.
ಗೀತ ರಚನೆ ಕೂಡ, ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಸೊಗಸಾಗಿದೆ; ಹಾಡಿನ ತಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಗುಣವಾಗಿ. ಈಗಿನ ‘ಕೆಂಚಾಲೋ ಮಂಚಾಲೊ’ ಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂತಹ ಗೀತೆಗಳು ಕೇಳಲು ಸಿಗೋದಿಲ್ಲ! ವಿಜಯನಾರಸಿಂಹ ಅವರ ರಚನೆ ಚಿತ್ರಗೀತೆಯಾಗಿ ಉಳಿಯದೆ, ಕವಿತೆಯಾಗಿ ಮೂಡಿಬಂದಿದೆ. ಉದಾಹರಣೆಗೆ ಈ ಸಾಲು ನೋಡಿ,ತಮ್ಮ ಗೀತೆಯನ್ನೇ ವರ್ಣಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಾಗೆ:
ಪ್ರೇಮ ಗಾನ ಪದ ಲಾಸ್ಯ, ಮೃದು ಹಾಸ್ಯ, ಶೃಂಗಾರ ಭಾವ ಗಂಗಾ
ಹಾಡು ‘ಡ್ಯೂಎಟ್’ ಆದರೂ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಹಾಡಿದ್ದೀನೆ. ‘ಡ್ಯೂಎಟ್’ ಗೆ ಧ್ವನಿ ಗೂಡಿಸಲು ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಇದ್ದವರು ಪ್ಲೀಸ್ ತಿಳಿಸಿ, ಈಗ ಅಪ್-ಲೋಡ್ ಮಾಡಿರೋದನ್ನ ಬದಲಾಯಿಸ ಬಹುದಲ್ವಾ? 
ಹಾಡು ಕೇಳಿ, ಹೇಗಿದೆ ಅನ್ನುವುದನ್ನ ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ಬರೆದು ತಿಳಿಸಿ. ಥ್ಯಾಂಕ್ಸ್ ಇನ್ ಅಡ್ವಾನ್ಸ್! :೦)
Before I forget: Any clue where you can find kannada karaokes on the net? If you know, please let me know!
When it comes to old kannada songs, I am presenting here a song which is really ‘madhura’ and which I like a lot. This time around, i made sure I spent some time on the echo,reverb, mixing and such settings; let me know how you found it
Song: ee sambhashane
Movie: Dharmasere (1979)
Singers: S.P.B and S.Janaki
Lyrics: VijayaNarasimha
Music: Upendrakumar
This song is one of the earlier ones composed by Upendrakumar
He has chosen to compose this in raaga ‘mohana’, and in a ’sundara sulalita’ fashion as described by VijayaNarasimha’s lyrics. It’s not devoid of subtle gamakas though. That’s the reason I like singing this song, a lot.
The lyrics themselves are really soothing on the ears; quite apt for the rhythm of the song. You dont get to hear such lyrics in these times of ‘kenchaalo manchaalo’ (sigh)! VijayaNarasimha’s lyrics have transcended boundaries of a film song and have become poetry. Take this line, for example, where he seems to describe his own song:
prema gaana pada laasya, mrudu haasya, shrungara bhaava ganga
Though the song is a Duet, i’ve gone ahead and sang it alone. If anybody’s interested to join voices with me for a ‘Duet’ please let me know; we could replace the uploaded version after-all!?
Please listen to the song, and let me know what you felt by commenting. Thanks in advance! :o)

ಓಳ್ಳೆಯ ದ್ವನಿ, ಕರೋಕೆ, ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಯೋಜನೆ. ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಸೋಗಸಾಗಿ ಬಂದಿದೆ. ತುಂಬಾ ದಿನದಿಂದ ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಈ ಹಾಡು ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದೆ. ತುಂಬು ಹೃದಯದ ಆತ್ಮಿಯ ವಂದನೆಗಳು. ಇನ್ನೂ ಉತ್ತಮ ಹಾಡುಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿ, ಅಪ್ಡೇಟ್ ಮಾಡಿ.

I just love it. Thanks for the song.

Ananth, Satish: dhanyavaadagaLu!
to Murali Venkatraman: Thanks for the idea of the song.Will follow up with you on email to know how I can get the karaoke,in case you have some ideas.
To Priti: Please give me your kannada song requests. I will focus on making this blog heavy on Kannada song attempts
‘Jotheyali’? Of course, I know the song…the first song that was a hit at PESIT when some of us guys kicked off the music club. Even today some college mates remember me for that song.
for not accompanying her on this song.
One Sindhuja Bhaktavatsalam, who has commented on this blog, is pretty cross at me
It’s never too late. Expect a comeback everyone..
