5 Random Songs From Bollywood That Lift Your Spirit

1. O Saiyaan  (Agneepath)

Music: Ajay-Atul
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Roop Kumar Rathod

This song witnesses a soulful combination of lyrics and music. Ajay-Atul have worked hard with the music to produce something that forces you to close your eyes and experience the beauty every time you listen to this song. Amitabh Bhattacharya brilliantly conveys the feelings of a girl who finally gets the person whom she had fallen for. When it comes to singing, Roop Kumar Rathod's golden voice brings life to the music. Although this song conveys feminine feelings, the listeners, irrespective of their sex, can relate to the feelings involved.   


2.  Tere Bin (Delhi Heights) 


Singer and songwriter: Rabbi Shergill


My memories with Rabbi date back to the time when I first heard 'Bulla' and fell in love with it's catchy music. And my love for his songs have never experienced any change. This song is as romantic as it gets. The song has been written in Punjabi but the lyrics can be understood quite easily, which expresses the feelings of a person missing his beloved. The song has been picturised on Jimmy Shergill who appears to be broken down after breaking up with his girlfriend (I have never seen the movie actually!). People who have recently broken up are vulnerable to tears after listening to this song.


3.  Iktara (Wake Up Sid)

Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singers: Amitabh Bhattacharya, Kavita Seth

Iktara is the perfect song to start the day with. The music, by guest composer Amit Trivedi is a fusion of Sufi with a beautiful mixture of guitar strumming and drums. This song compels you to nod to the music and makes attempt to distinguish it from the others. Amitabh Bhattacharya did a  fantastic work with the lyrics and with singing the refrain 'goonja sa hai koi iktara'. Kavita Seth with her bold and clear voice takes the song to a different level adding the beauty of Sufism. I love the reprise version of it as well, sung by Tochi Raina.

4. Tumse Yuh Milenge (Ankahee)

Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Subrat Sinha
Singer: Kunal Ganjawala

This song sets up the mood of the movie quite beautifully. The song has been picturised on the love triangle of Aftab, Esha and Amisha in the movie. The lyrics again is done beautifully and makes the song romantic. Pritam has done excellent job in composing this ballad, adding all the romance to the song he could. However the real credit goes to Kunal Ganjawala's singing. His loud and clear voice perfectly matches the song requirement and he sing's it quite effortlessly. 

5. Alvida (Life In A... Metro) 

Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Syed Quadri
Singer: Kay Kay

Alvida is hard rock song composed by Pritam. The singer bids adieu to his beloved. This song is all about moving on, especially the case when one moves on and the other still remains attached. Kay Kay has sung the song well, especially doing well with the high notes and the portions which required a clear throw. The sounds of distortion guitar and drums elevates the intensity of this song and a listener can actually feel the pain involved. The reprise version, sung by James gets ever more intense.
