Famous Melodies of Vidyasagar

Music, I feel, is the shortest route to realize GOD. Vidyasagar is one of the less recognized music directors in the South Indian Film Industry and his songs when listened with eyes closed will definitely take us to heaven. This hub is dedicated to Vidyasagar - The King of Melodies.

Even though Vidyasagar is famous for his melodies, his fast numbers also have a soulful music in them which makes you tap your toes at the same time enjoy the music content in them. With an endless list of soul-melting melodies to his credits and a lot of awards crowning his cap, he is one of the music directors who are not much recognized. Though people really like listening to his songs, sadly, his name does not get the credit much.

His extensive use of Veenai in his songs simply mesmerize me. His songs have a haunting effect on you especially the humming portions. His songs have pure essence of many classical Raagas which are simply breath-taking.

I have listed 10 songs composed by him which definitely prove that music is one rare thing which discriminates caste, creed, language or any discrimination within the human race. The songs are pure melody which will give the feel of dipping your soul in pure honey. These ten songs are the one that came to my mind the moment I decided to write a hub on Vidyasagar's melodies.

Enjoy the soulful and blissful melodies which are really close to my heart.

I would rate this song to top my all-time favorite list of songs. Everything about the song is simply brilliant. The lyrics of the songs are so apt for the song and the feel.

The usage of the different musical instruments is brilliant too. I love the small bit of music that precedes the song.
