So sad :-(

I used to hear songs of all genres, right from golden melodies of 1960s and 70s to the latest foot tapping music of Harris and ARR. One thing which I dislike myself is I generally listen to Tamil songs most of my time and seldom listen to other language songs, either English or Hindi. ( I have been trying a lot to listen to other songs. hmm hmm . kashtam .. :) still trying.. at least better than before now.. ) But I listen to sundry genres of Tamil songs. Songs of MSV, Ilayaraja, ARR and Yuvan classics, kuthu specials of Deva, ... list goes on like this. Of all these, I have some inclination towards sad songs. It doesn't mean that I hear sad songs most of the time. I prefer them because most of the sad songs will be void of high sounding instruments, pleasing and have a soothing effect on my mind especially when I am distressed. Sometimes, even If I am at the height of joy I listen to such songs. Looks strange uh !!! :-) Few sad songs which always make it to my playlist are:

Unnai nenachen - Aboorva Sagotharargal
Poongodi than - Idhayam
Nalam vazha - Marupadium
Sola pasungiliye - En rasavin manasile
Chinna thayaval - Thalapathi
Thenkizhaku - Kizhaku Cheemaiyale
Ninaithu ninaithu parthal - 7/G
Natpinile - Kathal Konden
En Kadhale - Duet
Kadhal rojave - Roja
Ninaivugal nenjinil - Autograph
Unakena irupen - Kadhal
Vennilave (sad version) - Minsara Kanavu

Few years back I shed tears when I was listening to Sola pasungilye (sung by Raja himself) and Ninaithu ninaithu from 7/G later on. I was neither in a happy mood nor distressed in both the instances. I was alone in my room during that time and was listening them using headphone. I guess that made me emotional over these songs. So far I have shed tears rarely while watching movies which is quite common for many people. But ever in my life, those were the only two instances when I went a bit tearful on hearing a song. Have anyone had similar experience in your life??

p.s. If any body find mp3 form of sad version of Vennilave anywhere, pls do let me know. I have been searching for a long time, but couldn't get it yet.
