SPBala

today, SPBala passed away. 25 sep 2020.
a legend has passed us by 
leaving us only his songs 
his voice evergreen 
even in his recent years 

I'm at the pool now
I just want to listen to his songs all day
I haven't mourned a public figure since lily. 

then I mourned with a country 
today in mourn with a people. Tamil people in particular. 

how do i describe his voice 
to say its melodious does not do it justice. 

I'm at the pool crying now
tears no one can see
wonder if he can 
I remember wondering the same thing about peri uncle 
could he see me crying for him over a cup of coffee 

when he has so many to shed tears for him 

he has kind eyes
a voice that lifts you and speaks to you inside
is anyone else crying for him today
I feel sheela, kavitha, should be
not sure about others whom i know. 

sometimes though we need to grieve alone

my daughter came to sit next to me just now and made me feel so much better just by being with me

I miss his voice 
cheeky, cheerful, soulful, playful, angry... just with his voice he does wonders 

the tributes are pouring in. to have grown up with a voice all your life and know it belongs to this amazing man... and then no more.. it is hitting many many people... esp those osnus who gre up in the 80s and 90s

saro didnt grow up with music they way we did. a song for every situation. an immersing into various song worlds. I pay attention to lyricis. to rise and fall, inflections..  to him hes a great singer but songs are background to life. for me songs are more than background
