"Seven Horses in the Sky" is a 1968 pop song by the Belgian rock band The Pebbles. It was their biggest hit [1] and stayed 11 weeks in the Belgian top 30 chart, reaching fifth place as its highest position.[2] [3]
The song opens with the sound of galloping horses, which was an idea of Pebbles singer Fred Bekky.[2] It then flows into a piano intro, created by singer-guitarist Bob Bobott.[2] The psychedelic lyrics describe seven purple horses racing in a green pouring sky.
The song was written by Fred Bekky and Bob Bobott, both the singers and guitarists of the band.[4] It was produced by Jean-Claude Petit and released on the label Barclay.[4] It was released on single, with the song To the Rising Sun as its B-side, or The Verger on the French and Canadian editions.[5] The song also appeared on their debut album The Pebbles (1969).
