There’s something magical about music that doesn’t try too hard to impress—yet ends up leaving a deep emotional mark. That’s exactly what Rishbh Tiwari achieves with “Aankhon Ke Darmiya 3”, a standout track from his album Hopeless Romantic. While Indian indie is full of bold experimentation and genre-bending creativity, this song reminds us of the power of subtlety, emotion, and carefully crafted introspection.
At first listen, Aankhon Ke Darmiya 3 might come across as a soft, slow-paced ballad—but give it time, and it begins to reveal its emotional layers. The song leans into minimalistic instrumentation: gentle keys, delicate ambient textures, and Rishbh’s raw, honest vocals. There’s no overproduction here—just a soulful vibe that wraps around you like a memory you didn’t know you missed.
One of the most striking parts of the song is how effortlessly it blends Hindi and English lyrics:
"Na jaane kyun yeh ek pal, bin tere reh paaye na
All I need is your love..."
It’s vulnerable, heartfelt, and utterly relatable. The track doesn’t try to spell out complex emotions—it just lets them exist, floating between the lines.
The Art of Growing on You
This isn’t the kind of song that wows you with a big drop or catchy hook. Instead, it grows on you slowly. You find yourself returning to it when the world feels a bit too loud. Maybe late at night, maybe on a rainy morning. It starts to feel like a conversation—like something Rishbh wrote not just for a general audience, but for you.
That’s the real beauty of Rishbh Tiwari’s approach to indie music—he's not afraid to sit with quiet moments. And that confidence to hold back? That’s what gives his music its emotional pull.
