Whitesnake - 'Now You're Gone' (Look Back)

Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An' I can't go on
When I think of the love
That you've taken

In the night
I pray for your embrace,
Every time I close my eyes
I can't escape your face
You're out of sight,
But, always on my mind,
I never realized
My love could be so blind

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all I need,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it another try
One more time

But, now you're gone
There's an emptiness closing around me,
An' I can't go on
When all I have left is the memory

In the night I call out your name,
I wake up in a cold sweat
An' I'm all alone again
I need your love
Much more than I can say,
I realize without you
I can't face another day

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind
You're all that I want,
So maybe we could turn back
The hands of time,
Maybe we could give it
Another try
One more time,
Baby, just one more time

Now you're gone
I can feel my heart is breaking,
An I can't go on
When all of my love has been taken

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind

You're all I want,
Can't you feel the love
In this heart of mine
You're all that I need,
Since I lost you, girl,
I've been losing my mind...

Το επόμενο βήμα του ομώνυμου δίσκου των Whitesnake (ή "1987" όπως είναι επίσης γνωστό) ήταν αρκετά δύσκολο και καθοριστικό για την μπάντα του David Coverdale. Το "Λευκό Φίδι" και η εταιρεία τους έκαναν τα αδύνατα δυνατά να διατηρηθεί και να εδραιωθεί η πολύ μεγάλη επιτυχία του προηγούμενου δίσκου.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό ήρθε ο Steve Vai στην θέση του John Sykes αν και η συνεισφορά του περιορίστηκε μόνο στο εκτελεστικό (κι όχι στο συνθετικό) κομμάτι. Το "Slip of the Tongue" κυκλοφόρησε τον Νοέμβριο του 1989. Η επιτυχία του "Whitesnake" δεν επαναλήφθηκε, αλλά ο δίσκος είχε τις στιγμές του. Μία από αυτές και το τραγούδι - power ballad "Now You're Gone".

Το τραγούδι "Now You're Gone" (σύνθεση: David Coverdale, Adrian Vandenberg) αποτελεί και μέρος της νέας συλλογής των Whitesnake υπό τον τίτλο "Greatest Hits 2022 - Revisited - Remixed - Remastered"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Whitesnake founder and lead singer David Coverdale had 16 tracks remixed and remastered for this collection.

He explains: “We’ve definitely expanded on the original Greatest Hits, took them all out of the sonic time capsule of the ’80s and ’90s, and brought them up to date, sound-wise … as always, we have the original albums for those who consider them holy relics.”

Keyboardist Derek Sherinian, who also appeared on Whitesnake’s recent Red, White and Blues trilogy, adds Hammond organ to more than half the songs on the collection. His scorching contributions can be heard on the #1 smash “Here I Go Again,” “Fool For Your Loving,” “You’re Gonna Break My Heart Again,” and more.

New performances by former Whitesnake guitarist Adrian Vandenberg can also be heard on “The Deeper The Love” and “Judgement Day” from the 1989 album, Slip of the Tongue. Along with those new additions, Coverdale also went back to the vault to unearth vintage performances by guitarist John Sykes that didn’t appear on the original recordings, including a solo on “Slide It In” and rhythm guitar on “Give Me All Your Love.”

Whitesnake Greatest Hits focuses extensively on three blockbuster albums the band released during the 1980s: 1984’s Slide It In (2x platinum), 1987’s Whitesnake (8x platinum), and 1989’s Slip of the Tongue (platinum). But the collection goes deeper with songs like “Sweet Lady Luck,” a b-side on the 12” single for “The Deeper The Love,” and “Forevermore,” the title track from the band’s 2011 album.

Whitesnake will embark upon a farewell tour in May with special guest, Europe. The first leg of “Whitesnake: The Farewell Tour” will start on May 10 in Dublin. Coverdale said: “I pray every day we can all make this happen & once again, share unforgettable evenings together & celebrate the amazing journey we have been on for almost 50 years!!!”»
