Old is Gold: Top 10 songs that are ETERNAL

Despite all the bass and dhinchak music we all crave, we do go back to the soulful and meaningful songs of the era gone by.

From lyrics that touch our hearts to beats that stay afresh in our minds, old hits are evergreen.

Perhaps that’s why Sony Mix’s Raina Beeti Jaaye is our favorite post-dinner fix every night.

The musical piece takes us through various Bollywood eras…to make you even more nostalgic, we take a look at ten such eternal tracks…read on:

Lag Ja Gale (Woh Kaun Thi)

Lata Mangeshkar’s honey-dipped voice will take you back to the vintage era. Combine it with rich words and soothing music…and you’ve a stunner of a song.

Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam (Kaagaz Ke Phool):

The song is relevant even today, with pitch-perfect music and perfectly passionate words that describe the convoluted dynamics of the love triangle. Sigh.

Tere Bina Zindagi Se (Aandhi):

There’s nothing more heart-breaking than a track that describes star-crossed lovers and their desperation.

Accha Ji Main Haari (Kala Pani):

This fun track celebrates the nok-jhoks of a couple. You can still hum this to your loved one if he/she is upset with you over something silly.

Ajeeb Dastan Yeh Hai (Dil Apna Aur Preet Parayi):

Because life is weird, our stories are weird, and they intertwine in the most unexpected of ways…listen to this song for the ultimate reality check of life.

Meri Bheegi Bheegi (Anamika):

All those spurned lovers and betrayed pairs seek solace in this Kishore-Da classic that will remind you of all your heartbreaks and torrid affairs.

Dil Ke Jharoke (Brahmachari):

Another soulful number that describes a man pining for his true love to realise her affections for him…the high-low pitched number may be impossible to sing, but is definitely worth a listen.

Dum Maaro Dum (Hare Krishna Hare Ram):

A path-breaking track for its time, this hippie classic will definitely make you nostalgic about the glorious 70s.

Rim Jhim Gire (Manzil):

If it’s drizzling outside and you haven’t hummed this tune, you’re not a Bollywood fan at all. Apart from Kishore-Da’s melodious voice, it’s the beautiful lines that truly elevate the number

Mere Saamnewali Khidki (Padosan):

Who can forget the jugalbandi between Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey in this super-fun track? Even the next gen kids would be singing this aloud…
