This heart wrenching theme was composed by Maestro illayaraja for the 1986 tamil movie aruvadai naal.The way in which the pleasant theme of love transforms into a shakespearan tragedy is a magic...your eyes will be in tears after you hear this...such a powerful music from the maestro

lyrics:

you don't even get it
you don't even want to
how could i just leave you
loving you as i do
how could i go and quit,
knowing we're the right fit
wearing you like new shoes
thinking that i can't lose

ooh, i only want your body
ooh, i only want your body

ooh, i only want your body
ooh, i only want your body

you're just like the last one
too much work and no fun
like you've just forgotten
eden's fruit is rotten
man in all the pictures
he knows how to please her
you don't even care, even care, even care, even care

ooh, i only want your body
ooh, i only want your body

mmm, mmm

"Whitacre is that rare thing, a modern composer who is both popular and original"
- The Daily Telegraph, London

Eric has inspired millions as composer, conductor, innovator, broadcaster and charismatic public speaker. His compositions rank among the most popular and frequently performed of the early 21st century, their reach broadened since 2010 by the extraordinary success of his online Virtual Choir project. Light & Gold, his first album as composer and conductor, won the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Choral Recording and instantly topped the US and UK classical album charts.

Born in Nevada, he discovered a passion for choral music while studying at UNLV and he began composing soon after. He went on to study at the Juilliard School of Music in New York under John Corigliano. Many of his choral compositions, Cloudburst, Lux Aurumque and Sleep among them, have entered the standard choral repertoire and his orchestral music has been performed by some of the world’s most distinguished orchestras both sides of the Atlantic. Eric is currently Composer-in-Residence at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge University, UK.

A distinguished speaker, Eric has been invited to address the UN Leaders Programme, give the closing plenary at Davos World Economic Forum and to speak for UNICEF and Google among others. He has appeared twice on the main stage at the global TED conference in Long Beach CA, earning standing ovations on both occasions. Recent Virtual Choir projects include ‘Glow’ written for the Winter Dreams holiday show at Disneyland© Adventure California and the Virtual Youth Choir, in association with UNICEF, which premiered at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Broadcast live to 119 countries worldwide, Eric made his iTunes Festival debut with his professional choir in 2014, inviting multi award-winning composer and conductor Hans Zimmer to join him on stage. The performance was consequently released as a live album. Eric returned to the Minnesota Orchestra for a second residency in 2015 culminating in three performances at Orchestra Hall.
