Moments in Kerala - Ekk Deewana Tha by A.R. Rahman, Prabhakar

Moments in Kerala - Ekk Deewana Tha arrived from the Ekk Deewana Tha album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2012. A.R. Rahman's arrangement gives the track a layered quality that rewards repeated listening.

A.R. Rahman, Prabhakar brings a warmth to Moments in Kerala - Ekk Deewana Tha that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. Hearing Moments in Kerala - Ekk Deewana Tha without thinking of Prateik Babbar, Amy Jackson is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Ekk Deewana Tha.

The song dates from 2012, but nothing about it sounds dated — the emotions it captures are not tied to a moment. It is the kind of track that works at full volume with friends and equally well in a quiet room alone — the mood adjusts without the song changing.

At 2:41, the track does not overstay its welcome — it says what it needs to say and leaves the listener wanting more. It is, at the end of it, a very good song — and sometimes that is the only explanation that matters.
