Maane by Yakzan Gary Pereira, Neha S. Nair, Haricharan

Some songs are made for a single moment. Maane is made for all of them. Yakzan Gary Pereira, Neha S. Nair's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

The vocal on Maane is among the better performances Yakzan Gary Pereira, Neha S. Nair, Haricharan has committed to record. Fahadh Faasil, Jayasurya, Lal, Isha Shervani, Padma Priya, Reenu Mathews gave the film its soul, and Maane is the song that most directly channels that feeling into music.

2014 marked the release of Maane, and Maane was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. Maane is the song for the end of a long day when you want music that understands something without being asked to explain it.

Running to 5:24, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
