Best Songs in 7 Beats
While most of our Indian songs are in 16 bits, I personally like 7 beats songs. I present here some of my favourite songs that are composed in 7 beats. In classical music Roopak Taal has 7 beats, it’s played on tabla and counted as 123 – 12 – 12.
Before 90s:
#1. Isharon Isharon Mein Dil Lenewale
Nice romantic song, Rafi and Asha Bhosle have sung this nicely. This is from the movie Kashmir Ki Kali. It also has a nice background music of Violin which is more like filling up the space between silences between 2 lines. Awesome composition.
#2. Aap Ki Nazron Ne Samjha
Lata Mangeshkar’s song that can be heard over and over. Again the best piece of work in Music Composition.
#3. Aji Rooth Kar Ab Kahan Jaiyega
This is sung by Lata Mangeshkar, picturized on Saaira Banu. Lovely to hear and watch
#4. Hai Isi Mein Pyar Ki Abroo
A nice song with a message to lovers that Love is all about understanding and faith.
#5. Ae dil-e-nadan
Lovely song with best use of Santoor Instrument. If someone says Santoor, it reminds me of this song.
#6. Kisi raah pe kisi mod par
Very nice song by Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh.
#7. Chupke Chupke Raat Din
This is Ghazal Maestro Ghulam Ali’s Ghazal, which was used in Nikaah Movie.
#8. Ye Hawa Ye Raat Ye Chandni
A classic song by Talat Mehmood.
#9. Piya tose naina lage re
This is Lata Mangeshkar’s very cheerful and happy song.
#10. Teri bindiya re
I remember Amitabh Bacchan and Jaya singing this song in the video. When as a child I watched this song, I thought these 2 actors sung it.
#11. Tu na ja mere badshah
I watched it in video where Amitabh has to leave for other country, that’s when Shridevi sings this song.
After 90s
#12. Aa ke bharlu bajuo me – Lucky
This was composed by Adnaan Sami for Movie Lucky. Nice composition. Listen to this in headphones, it’s nice peaceful song and will keep you calm.
#13. Mere hamsafar mere ham safar – refugee
What a lovely song this is.. I like every bit of it. It is sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. I never get tired of hearing this song.
#14 Kaun Mera – Special 26
Again.. very peaceful song, especially female version is so peaceful. This is composed by MM Kareem. One of my favourite music composers.
#15 Abhi mujhme kahin Baki thodisi hai Zindagi – Agnipath
This song is composed by famous Marathi Music Directors Ajay Atul who have given us many great Marathi songs.
