Ian Parry's Rock Emporium - "One Vision" (Queen cover)

One man, one goal,
One mission.
One heart, one soul,
Just one solution.

One flash of light.
One god, one vision.

One flesh, one bone,
One true religion.
One voice, one hope,
One real decision.

Gimme one vision.

No wrong, no right.
I'm gonna tell you
There's no black and no white.
No blood, no stain.
All we need
Is one world-wide vision.

One flesh, one bone,
One true religion.
One race, one hope,
One real decision.

I had a dream when I was young,
A dream of sweet illusion:
A glimpse of hope and unity,
And visions of one sweet union.

But a cold wind blows,
And a dark rain falls,
And in my heart it shows.
Look what they've done to my dream.

One vision!

So give me your hands,
Give me your hearts.
I'm ready.
There's only one direction.
One world, one nation,
One vision.

No hate, no fight,
Just excitation.
All through the night
It's a celebration.

One.
One vision.

One flesh, one bone,
One true religion.
One voice, one hope,
One real decision.

Gimme one night.
Gimme one hope.
Just gimme.
One man, one man,
One bar, one night,
One day.
Just gimme gimme, gimme, gimme.
Fried chicken.
Vision.

Ο Ian Parry είναι από τις παλιές "καραβάνες" του χώρου. Τραγουδιστής, συνθέτης και παραγωγός εξ' Ολλανδίας. Ξεκίνησε την καριέρα του από τους Hammerhead, συνέχισε με τους Vengeance. Την (όποια) αναγνωρισιμότητά του την οφείλει κυρίως στους Elegy. Συν τις άλλοις έχει τραγουδήσει σε Consortium Project, Eternity's End, Crystal Tears κλπ και ως guest στους Ayreon, στους Royal Hunt, στους Mob Rules κ.ά.

Παράλληλα "τρέχει" και την προσωπική του καριέρα έχοντας κυκλοφορήσει πέντε "ολοκληρωμένους" solo δίσκους (συν μία συλλογή) και ακόμη δύο με τους Ian Parry's Rock Emporium. Το πλέον πρόσφατο φέρει τον τίτλο "Brute Force" και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών...

Ian Parry: «I wanted to capture the essence of the original Queen recording embracing the analogue drum and bass sounds, but without trying to copy Brian Mays classic guitar sound and Freddy’s unique voice.

I am very proud of the performance from my musicians Ivar de Graaf (Within Temptation) for his authentic kick ass drums, but adding his own modern groove in parts. Jeroen van der Wiel (Rock Emporium “Society of Friends”), for his amazing Orchestral keyboard intro, piano, organ and sequencer hook line.

Jeroen is a huge Queen fan so for him and all of us. My old Elegy colleague and friend bassist Martin Helmantel also added his own touch with a driving bass part in the solo section. Finally the rhythm and lead guitars with a traditional Marshall Amp sound from Dimitris Goutziamanis with an extra lead guitar part from Fabio Calluori.

The music is finally complimented with what I regard as being my own powerful and emotional vocal performance supported by the fantastic choir & lead parts from Wade Black (Crimson Glory) and Stamina vocalist Stefano Sbrignadello. It was a great please to make such a Tribute to Queen and now 30 years later after we sadly lost one of the greatest Rock pop voices of all time, in memory of the late great Freddy Mercury.»
