Whitesnake - "Steal Your Heart Away" (video)

I'm going back to the place I was born
With an empty pocket and a suit well worn
All my life I've been short changed
I ain't never found a woman want to take my name

I want some love and I want it now
And I'm going to take it any old how

I want it all, I want it now
I'm going to beg, borrow, steal somehow
I want it all, I want it now
I'll thieve it all, baby, anyhow

I'm going to steal your heart away

God only knows I've paid my dues
Spend most my live living hard time blues
All my nights, baby, all my days
I've been trying to find a woman help me change my ways

I want some love and I want it now
And I'm going to take it any old how

I want it all, I want it now
I'm going to beg, borrow, steal somehow
I want it all, I want it now
I'll thieve it all, baby, anyhow

I'm going to steal your heart away

Now I've found me an angel with a heart of pure gold
A fine looking woman going to soothe my soul
So come on, baby, take me by the hand
We got a first class ticket to the promised land
I want some love and I want it now
And I'm going to take it any old how

I want it all, I want it now
I'm going to beg, borrow, steal somehow
I want it all, I want it now
I'll thieve it all, baby, anyhow

I want it all, I want it now
I'm going to beg, borrow, steal somehow
I want it all, I want it now
I'll thieve it all, baby, anyhow

I'm going to steal your heart away

I want it all, I want it now
I want it all, I want it now
I want it

Τριπλό δισκογραφικό "χτύπημα" -μέσω συλλογών- για τους Whitesnake. Η πρώτη συλλογή έφερε τον τίτλο "The Rock Album" κι εστίαζε στην πιο "σκληρή" πλευρά της μπάντας. Η δεύτερη τιτλοφορείτο "The Red Album" και έδινε βαρύτητα στα ερωτικά κομμάτια των Snake και η τρίτη ("The Blues Album") επικεντρώνεται στην blues πλευρά του συγκροτήματος.

Το "The Rock Album" κυκλοφόρησε τον πρώτο καλοκαιρινό μήνα, ενώ το "The Red Album" (το οποίο περιλαμβάνει και τρία ακυκλοφόρητα τραγούδια που είχαν αρχικά συνετεθεί - ηχογραφηθεί για τον προσωπικό δίσκο του David Coverdale "Into the Light") "βγήκε" στις αρχές Νοεμβρίου.

Το "The Blues Album", που ολοκληρώνει την τριλογία "Red, White and Blues", έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει τον επόμενο μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Whitesnake celebrates the blues sound that helped inspire its multi-platinum career on a new collection that features remixed and remastered versions of the group’s best blues-rock songs.

The Blues Album is the third and final release in the band’s Red, White and Blues Trilogy, a series of compilations organized by musical themes that began this year with Love Songs (red) and The Rock Album (white). Like The Rock Album and Love Songs, all the tracks on The Blues Album have been revisited, remixed, and remastered.

Whitesnake’s singer-songwriter David Coverdale says, the music reflects how blues artists like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and the three Kings (Albert, B.B. and Freddie) continue to inspire him. In the album’s liner notes, he writes: “It’s hard to find the words to show how profoundly they connected with my soul. But ‘blues’ to me is a beautiful word that describes emotional expression… feelings, be it feelings of sadness, loneliness, emptiness... but, also those that express great joy, celebration and dance, sexiness and Love!!!”

The new compilation delivers a potent mix of hits and deep tracks that originally appeared between 1984 and 2011 on six Whitesnake studio albums and Coverdale’s solo album, Into the Light.

The Blues Album showcases two of the band’s biggest songs: “Slow An’ Easy,” a Top 20 Mainstream Rock hit in 1984 from Whitesnake’s double-platinum album Slide It In, and the smash “Give Me All Your Love” from the band’s 1987 self-titled album, which was certified 8x platinum. Other choice tracks from Whitesnake are also featured: “Looking For Love” and “Crying In The Rain,” and “Steal Your Heart Away,” which is available now.

Restless Heart (1997), Good to Be Bad (2008), and Forevermore (2011) are all represented on The Blues Album by multiple tracks (“Too Many Tears,” “A Fool In Love” and “Steal Your Heart Away”). The collection also includes “If You Want Me,” a studio recording released in 2006 as a bonus track on the live album, Live... in the Shadows of the Blues. Coverdale also taps his 2000 solo album, Into the Light, for “River Song.”»
