"Pi's Lullaby" is the Tamil-language[1][2] intro song of the 2012 film Life of Pi. It was composed by Mychael Danna, with lyrics by Bombay Jayashri, who also performed the song.[3] The song earned a nomination at the 85th Academy Awards for Best Original Song. The nomination marks the first ever Tamil song to be nominated in the category.
According to Jayashri's blog, in order to convey the mood he wanted for the song, director Ang Lee told her "A child sleeps not because he is sleepy, but because he feels safe."[4]
