Crystal Ball - 'You Lit My Fire' (video)

I took the pole position on a fast lane track
Just the one direction and never looking back
I headed towards that famed chequered flag
I did all I could to get that tag

I never ever changed my view
I never ever thought that I would meet you

Now the time has come
What's done can't be undone
I gotta change cause you lit my fire
The heat is rising
Bliss it shines on me
It has set me free
All things have changed cause you lit my fire
With flames burning higher

I've always knew the dangers of living this life
The thrill and pleasure kept me alive
I didn't stop for anything or for anyone
The speed kept me always on the run

I never ever changed my view
I never ever thought that I would meet you

Now the time has come
What's done can't be undone
I gotta change cause you lit my fire
The heat is rising
Bliss it shines on me
It has set me free
All things have changed cause you lit my fire
With flames burning higher

I gave it all to win the race
Losing starts with the second place

I never ever changed my view
I never ever thought that I would meet you

Now the time has come
What's done can't be undone
I gotta change cause you lit my fire
The heat is rising
Bliss it shines on me
It has set me free
All things have changed cause you lit my fire

Το 1995 δημιουργήθηκε η μπάντα διασκευών Cherry Pie. Τρία χρόνια αργότερα μετονομάσθηκε σε Crystal Ball κι επικεντρώθηκε σε δικό της υλικό. Έκτοτε έχει κυκλοφορήσει δέκα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους. Ο ενδέκατος είναι προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Crysteria" κι αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του πρώτου μήνα του νέου έτους...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The album "Crysteria" opens a new chapter in Crystal Ball's history. In their 3rd decade, the band is far from just repeating itself, and you can find new, fresh, and energetic elements in their music.

Crystal Ball took its time during the pandemic-related break to write lots of new material, so they could choose from over 30 Songs for the "Crysteria" album. Crystal Ball's new guitar player Peter Berger also contributed many songs and ideas to this album.

He was a very refreshing and motivating input. The production of "Crysteria", that was taken care of by Stefan Kaufmann, improved even further and reflects the bands live energy perfectly. The album features the vocal duet "Call Of The Wild" with Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, MSG) whom the band got to know at a festival in Switzerland in 2018.

The album also contains the band duet "Crystal Heart" with the guys from Jaded Heart. This song was written by members of both bands. As both bands are friends for a long time, Crystal Ball invited Jaded Heart as special guest on their planned headliner tour in 2022.»
