It moves through a verse sung by Nidarshana, a pre-chorus that elevates the anticipation, and finally a solid, memorable chorus that's bound to linger in your mind.

Naangam Kadal Nokku salai - Marshall Robinson, Anand Aravindakshan
Thiruvanmiyur, a place I once called home before and after 'Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya', has an undeniable charm that seemed to intensify after the movie;s release. It's as if the streets themselves absorbed some of that romanticism. If I am not wrong, this song has been named after one of the seawards roads.

The line 'aval Idhazhgal sollum ilakkanam, adharku inaiyillai endha ilakiyam' is a lyrical gem within the song, and Anand Aravindakshan's delivery makes it all the more memorable.
What sets this song apart are the well-contrasted sections, exemplified when the line 'en manam un vasam' gently transitions into a glitch effect, arousing the listener's senses before a sweet flute solo takes center stage. These nuances, including the switch in 'paramal parthu sendrai' with reduced reverb, showcase a mastery of musical dynamics. Sometimes, as a listener, it's refreshing to hear vocals that aren't entirely submerged in long-tailed reverb - all the time.
Marshall Robinson's decision to present this song in four different languages is commendable, demonstrating the universal appeal of music that transcends linguistic boundaries. It's a testament to the song's strength and the artist's commitment to sharing his creation with a diverse audience.
