Katugastota where music stalwarts like TM Jayaratne, Stanley Peiris, Rookantha Gunatilleke too had studied.

He was able to assist his parents and also buy personal clothes .At this time he had continued the love affair as it was given the green light from both his parents and girl\u2019s parents. The wife to be fianc\u00e9\u2019 had wanted the \u00a0entire salary to be given to her. Shehan was given only rupees two thousand for a month to manage. This had helped the duo to save over a lakh within a certain period. As the work was very tedious with only a Sunday was given as a leave Shehan had decided to quit. Shehan after his tenure at the mobile phone employment had come to know well all streets in entire Colombo which was an advantage while in boardings with his friends Sujeewa Attygalle and Madhawa Hewawasam. He had confessed that on some days had to be contented with one meal a day.After leaving the job Shehan had with friend with a knowledge of musical instruments Madhawa had joined the music studio of Roshan De Silva. Though \u00a0Madhawa knew to play the rhythm guitar , \u00a0Shehan has \u00a0had no competency in music studio work but he attended to minor jobs which he could handle. The idea was still etched in his mind to become a lyricist was haunting within him. He had found contact numbers ,addresses of lyricists like Vernon Perera, Sunil Perera and Hemasiri Halpita and visited them \u00a0with the dire intention to enter the lyricist field. Shehan had in his possession several songs already written.He had asked Halpita how much can he sell one song, As Halpita at the helm in the field had charged rupees five thousand had wanted Shehan to quote rupees two thousand five hundred to be fair as a novice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LJyNaPTwQH8?si=0CvWcD-OYsrvdbYj\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The turning\u00a0point.in\u00a0his lyricist profession was the penning the lyrics of the popular song \u201cJeevithe Mal Amma Innakan \u201c,while he was struggling to break into this field. The close friend of Shehan was Madhawa Hewawasam with him had also come to Colombo \u00a0had stayed in boardings , loitering on roads and in many studios endeavouring hard to break into this field. The lyrics were shown to Madhawa who had told \u2018Machang\u2019 this song would click. These lyrics were taken to show to Priyantha Nawalage of the Galaxy band. The music composition of his initial song was of Priyantha Nawalage, \u00a0mixing was made by Madhawa Hewawasam and the Keyboardist\u00a0 was Dushan Jayaltilleke who was then in the \u2018Sunshine\u2019 band later was captured as the Keyboardist of famous \u2018Gypsies\u201d. This song was later sung by the \u2018Galaxy\u2019 band all over the island which obviously made popular these musical shows, the announcer Chaminda Wimalasena was in the practice to mention the name of Shehan Galahitiyawa as the lyricist of the song which was a huge boost to Shehan as his name was unheard until then. Later Neil Warnakulasuriya of \u201cSunshine\u2019 band was too interested in this song\u00a0 for which Shehan had received a tidy sum which was huge to him then,. After which only Shehan had wanted to make lyrics writing his sole profession. What had tempted Shehan to pen these lyrics was the immense attachment and love to his mother. He is used to call mother in Kandy daily at a specific time and if \u00a0he fails he is used to call her twice the following day. After leaving his mother and father thirty years ago Shehan still continues the practice He always made it a firm stand to worship mother kneeling when he left home. Even when Shehan was away from home she was always on the lookout on \u00a0his health and whereabouts. Shehan did say all previous songs made paying homage to mothers were of all slow paced, but his song was made to 6\/8 signature tempo as it was\u00a0 predominantly made for bands essentially for the feat of the dancing audiences. Shehan has professed that he cannot make sad lyrics for songs.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bUVreI164BM?si=IO83h-dFfucXlupX\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When Shehan was getting established in delivering lyrics his fianc\u00e9 after following a Japanese course had left on a three year scholarship to Japan.She had insisted Shehan too to learn the Japanese language wanting him to be brought to Japan as she was having a fear that Shehan might let her down.He then had attended to Japanese classes at the NYSC\u00a0 to gratify her sent her photos of lessons. However the Japanese classes had to be curtailed as Shehan got interested in the Music group of Athula Adikari in the NYSC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">At a time Shehan was in the studio of Galaxy band Dushan Jayatilleke had told that Bathiya Jayakody wanted to meet him at his studios in Kirimandala Mawatha. Shehan recollects that he somehow arrived at the time he was asked to be present on his motor bike having not met Bathiya before. There he writes lyrics for the song \u2018Sri Lanka Matha Pe Wiskam Boma, \u201cOya Mage Nam., \u2018Baila Gamuda Remix Karala\u201d. With them Shehan got acquainted with Bathiya and Santhish.Then it was \u201c Himi Peththakatama Jaya\u201d. Shehan had said also in a television dialog added that he never make lyrics in the same array to a single vocalist also he has no fundamental similar standard for his lyrics always he mixes up the meanings adding new words which are hardly used by many song lyricists. By his association with Bathiya ,Santhosh duo Shehan had got the opportunity to make lyrics for advertisements which was another feather to Shehan\u2019s cap. There was no such concept the lyrics had to be made for the track already made.Shehan when he became close to Bathiya he had whispered that many former artistes do not hail\u00a0 and appreciate them though the duo highly respect them they drift up along with the present trend of young blood..When an advertisement was made Shehan had included the names of famous singers like Milton Perera, Milton Mallawarachchi, HR Jothipala, Freddie,into one verse and to the other verse had entered the names of Ravindra, \u00a0Malini Fonseka, Nadeeka ,Sriyani etc as all names could not be included. For the middle the concept of the advertisement was included, which was the manner that advertisement was completed in a successful spectacle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1udzo6luRTQ?si=4mEREhtmNuWHBqVd\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When given the opportunity to pen lyrics to an individual he studies what are the songs he or she had previously sung. Thereafter he chooses a set of words completely differently choosing a topic which is foreign to the artiste which is Shehan\u2019 technique as such if one scrutinizes closely \u00a0one song is quite different to the other.In other words to a single artiste if three songs are made the topics and lyrics will have no resemblance. After completing his lyric work Shehan wholly forgets until he watches on television the related video deriving a huge satisfaction. This is his hall mark to his resounding success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The popular song titled \u2018Prathihari\u2019 was also written by Shehan in year 2021 composed and produced by Saranga Dissanayake of Wayo sung by Supun Perera. The video had been viewed by well over 11 million viewers \u00a0The meaning of the lyrics Shehan has explained is the feeling of \u00a0happiness a lover receives upon meeting his partner. In this particular song Shehan had inserted his words to the music track as done in ninety five percent of his song lyrics.This is a love song which type of songs Shehan adds are much lesser than loathe songs he had made lyrics to.After this song Shehan had penned songs titled as \u2018Kailasani\u2019, \u2018Sandanami\u2019 etc.Shehan did admit that he is a person who receives love in large magnitudes.
