"ஜீவனின் அப்பம்" - Jeevanin Appam | Sung by Daniel G. Veerasingam





Written and Composed by K. S. Arulraja
Sung by Daniel G. Veerasingam
Music added to the phone-voice-recording by Ebenezer Breman

Back in 2010, I was a student in Bangalore. I had come home for vacation and heard my beloved father singing one of his favourite songs "Jeevanin Appam", written and composed by Late. Mr K. S. Arulraja. I had this song recorded on my mobile phone and kept it a secret as Appa continued to sing with the Methodist Hymnal in his hands. Later when I returned to Bangalore, with the help of my friend Jinto George lending his musical instruments and recording tools, I tried my best to filter the recorded voice and to add music to this plain voice. Later, I posted this song from Bangalore to Batticaloa, written in an audio CD to surprise my father. It indeed surprised him! Today, almost a decade after, when I listen to his voice singing this song, the song makes more sense to me. He entered into glory on 27th November 2020, and all that he yearned for in this song is surely received by him through God's promise of eternal life. I have made it a video and sharing it with you all in this time when I am remembering the life of faith and example that my beloved father has left behind.

With remembrance and thanksgiving for Appa's life,
