This entry was posted in Music and tagged India, music on Decemby Param. They still belong in this list in my opinion.ĭo you know any other songs that belong in this list?Īnd, here’s a list of Bollywood songs that are influenced by The Beatles. The last two are not technically Beatles songs – “My Sweet Lord” is a George Harrison solo and “India, India” a John Lennon home recording released as a solo. There's also a brief Carnatic-sounding violin in the mix. Lennon asks India for spiritual enlightenment…and goes on to say that he knows he can't get it here (the song was written in India) because he left his heart in England and he needs to go where his heart is.Ī tanpura drone plays throughout the song. George Harrisson expresses his love for Indian Gods. Interesting trivia about the genesis of this line in this John Lennon interview The Beatles express their disappointment with Maharishi when he was accused of sexual misconduct with a female disciple (Mia Farrow?).Ī part of lyric goes 'Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna'. Sexy Sadie" equals "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi" in this song. Sarod, Pakhavaj, Sehnai, Sitar, Sarangi, Dholak, Harmonium
George's vocal sounds like Indian chants.Ĭould easily be a song from a Hindi movie of the '60s Tanpura, Sarangi, Jal tarang, Tabla, Sitarĭoes not apply since this is an instrumental piece
George Harrison arranged the song with Indian musicians. It is an Indian composition with no Western influence. Could you please mention what is most favorite (romantic, can be happy love song or sad love song) song of of 2010 It has to be a newer song Thanks for the answers in advance. Dance, combined with the beats of these hit Hindi songs, is extremely famous across the world. They are derived from the song and dance routine of the Indian Bollywood films. These Hindi gane have a special place in the hearts of people across the country. Not sure about Indian influence on the composition but it's hard to ignore the sitar Bollywood songs, also known as Hindi songs, are generally featured in Bollywood films. Hard to decode the lyrics but the "Jai Guru Deva, Om" indicates that the song is about the spiritual strength the Beatles gained from their association with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Songĭoes have Indian influences, specially Lennon's chanting of "Jai Guru Deva" do NOT click on the 'MORE VIDEOS' annotations (It is YOUTUBE ADVERTISING - i dont make any money on ads). I list here nine songs by The Beatles, that were in some way influenced by India – either the composition itself or the instruments used or the song lyrics. So today on the eve of 62nd anniversary of Indian Independence, I have come up with some of the finest patriotic songs from Bollywood Hindi movies.The Beatles flirted with India for a while and it showed – in their facial hair, their clothes, their fascination for Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and spiritualism, and yes, their music. One of the most popular ways to show patriotism in Hindi films is through the means of music and song. There are hundreds of Bollywood movies having patriotic theme. Independence Day holds is not only important for the people of India but also very significant to the Indian Film Industry. Millions of freedom fighters sacrificed their life for the purpose to achieve this independence.
