Marking Satisfaction Month, a love track in Malayalam

Amor (The Tune of Love) is an old-world love track filled with longing, tenderness and a touch of despair. The music video, launched on YouTube on June 5, is a tribute to the LGBTQIA+ group and its launch marks Satisfaction Month, noticed from June 1 to 30 worldwide. 

The track in Malayalam depicts the romantic relationship between two males. “Though originally written in a heteronormative perspective, the song seemed ideal to be adapted to same sex love,” says Jijo Kuriakose, director and producer of the video and a homosexual artist and photographer primarily based in Kochi. “We have explored the emotional aspect of gay romance in a way that it appeals to a wider audience,” he provides.  

Written and composed by Tissy Mariam Thomas, a trainer of psychology on the Kerala College campus at Karyavattom in Thiruvananthapuram, the track dwells on a human being’s fundamental want to like and be liked. “We, as humans, have experienced love in our own ways. The way the song looks at love is as something that comes and goes, meeting you in different forms in different stages of your life,” says Ms. Thomas. “It is as pleasurable as it is painful, but it always comes back to you,” she provides. 

An writer, who can also be present process coaching in psychoanalysis, Ms. Thomas shared the track along with her buddy Mr. Kuriakose, quickly after she composed it. Mr. Kuriakose felt the lyrics and therapy would work effectively in the identical intercourse love setting. “It was a different experience for me as I had not envisioned it as a gay video, but working with Jijo helped me see the song in a different perspective,” provides Ms. Thomas.

Sung by Duttu Stanley, the track has been programmed, blended and mastered by Adarsh S. Nath. Thaai Prasaath has dealt with the digital camera and enhancing is by Sarun Surendran.
