Mya Ye Thado-Thami (The Bride of History) raised a few eyebrows. Although the song ostensibly is about Myanmar's main artery Irrawaddy river, many took it to be as an implicit reference to Aung San Suu Kyi. He was banned from performing the song in his concerts. Within the confines of Burmese censors, one topic he wrote extensively about was the mother's love, the relationship between the mother and the son, and a son's regrets. He devoted an entire album A-May (Mother) to this topic. The song A-May Ein (Mother's Home) continues to resonate deeply with many Burmese home and especially, abroad. His success with Naryi was followed by a string of successful albums, culminating in Atta Bon Saung Khe Mya, and Akyinna Einmet, both released in 1991. His songs from this early era are still very popular today. In particular, Mei-Lai-Taw (Just Forget It), Min-Ma-Shi-De-Nauk (Since You've Been Gone) and Hsway-De (Longing) remain standards to this day. His success waned in later albums though he remained popular. He even resorted to covering a few Western songs—something that did not sit well with some of his purist fans. His last albums—in particular the posthumous Chit-Chin Ah-Phyint (With Love)--saw a return to his musical roots that captivated generations of Burmese. Htoo Eain Thin also composed many commercially successful songs for other singers. A successful singer, Aung Yin has publicly acknowledged that he owes his success to his saya (teacher) Htoo Eain Thin. Hayma Ne Win, a popular female singer, has covered many of Htoo Eain Thin's popular songs. Premature death Htoo Eain Thin died suddenly in 2004 of heart disease. He was survived by his wife, Thwè Thwè Htwe, and daughter, Mi Kun Htaw. Album discography Htoo Eain Thin released 15 solo albums. His last album remains unreleased.
