    Part of our ultimate ear training songlist hub—all interval playlists in one place.

    We've made a new playlist for you! This time we take a look at the major seventh and teach you how to identify it by ear.

    This week we listen to some songs with the ascending, melodic major seventh interval in them. In this article we will briefly explain where you can hear the major seventh in the songs.

    It is hard to find songs with a straight major seventh interval in them, because it sounds a bit dissonant. We did our best to present you with some new interval songs which you probably don’t know yet

    Turn this into practice — try the minor seventh interval in a quick Sonid exercise.

    Over the Rainbow

    Judy Garland

    The song starts with: **Somewhere o**-ver the rainbow, way up high. Some-where forms an octave, but afterwards the melody descends to a major seventh. So if you combine the first (Some) and third (O) note you can hear a major seventh interval.

    Time to Say Goodbye

    Andrea Bocelli

    This follows the same pattern as Over the Rainbow. In the chorus Andrea Bocelli sings: "Paesi che non ho **mai, Ve-du**to e vissuto con te" 

    Mai to ve is a octave, after which the melody descends into a major seventh at du. So if you combine the first and third note you hear a major seventh interval.

    Take on me

    A-Ha

    You can hear the major seventh interval in the chorus when they sing **Take on** me for the first time.

    There Will Never Be Another You

    Chet Baker

    The major seventh interval is hard to find in popular music. It is a bit easier if you get into jazz music. This jazz classic contains a major seventh interval: Yes, I may dream a million dreams, but how can they **come true**.

    Don’t know why

    Norah Jones

    The first two notes of the verse form a major seventh: **I waited** ‘til I saw the sun.

    The song is you

    Chet Baker

    The second time Chet sings **I-Alone** in the bridge, you hear a major seventh.

    Misty

    Ella Fitzgerald

    Ella Fitzgerald is known to sing beautiful, but complicated melodies. In this song you can hear the major seventh interval when she sings: Look at me, I'm as **help-less** as a kitten up a tree.

    Popular

    Nada Surf

    You can hear the major seventh interval in the guitar part through the whole song.

    Pure Imagination

    Pure Imagination

    This song starts with a long introduction. Afterwards you’ll hear the major seventh: Come with me and you'll be in **a world** of pure imagination.
