Let's go with the flow
"Lets go with the flow" is an autobiographical music video. The simple message in this song is that , with little kids , you as the parent should let them go with the flow in life and you should glide along if possible :) My parents let me go with my flow ( Film Making ) and that is why I am able to share my experience through this song.
The Technical Details : This is a student project that was shot on Arri SR2 16 mm Film Camera and edited on Avid. There was no color correction done anywhere after tele cine. The song was shot on 3 days, cut within 4 days and sung by 20 odd kids ( including chorus ).
Here are the lyrics :
Para 1
Appa Aaana Oona TV la paatum koothum thaan
Amma - Nethi Kooda School Lenthu late ah thaan vandhan
Thatha Eppo paru Arcot um facebook um thaan
Anna Ippadiye Pona nee 10th fail thaan !!

Maths Teacher - Sine theta Cos theta Sollum pothey thoongitaan !
English Teacer - Enna Mr Romeo Dreaming about Juliet ah !?
Physics Teacher - Mass into Velocity momentum da mundam
Principal - Life is a rat race , you must score a centum !

Engineer ah?? No chance! You wanna ask me why!?
Cos all the birds that fly never made it to the sky
Maggadicchu maggadicchu thaenju poyaachu
America kku ozhaicchu potu onju poyaachu
Lawyer ah?? Aiyyaiyyo!! No no no no no!!
Courtukkum Veettukkum lo lo lo lo lo!!
Fuse pona Kannu thaan Namma Sattamae
Poi sonna karuppu saami kanna kutthumae!
Doctor ah?? No way! He brought me all the gloom
If not for him, Id be in my mothers womb
Childhood, a phase where I knew no evil
Childhood a place where I had total freewill
Where Did I come from ?
Where am I to go ?
Why should I be someone ?
When Im what you know ?
Lets go with the flow !!
Lets go with the flow !!
Lets go with the flow !!
Lets go with the flow !!

Kathipaara nadula cutout vekkanum
Chennai a aeroplane la sutthi paakkanum
Tata kooda jogging poitu tata kaattanum
Dhoni kooda okkandhu match a paakkanum

( BGM simmering at the back , back in Principals office)
Shortcut ah!? What Nonsense!! For the last and final time!! What do you wanna become? says Principal by banging her desk.
Cheenu takes a deep breath.
Chief Minister! I wanna become the chief minister! says Cheenu.
Silence and Shock from the Principal and teachers !
Thats just a ridiculous idea you know! says Principal
Sorry mam but I just went with the flow!!! says Cheenu.
( BGM heightens to join with chorus )
Where Did I come from ?
Where am I to go ?
Why should I be someone ?
When Im what you know ?

Lets go with the flow !!
