Axel Rudi Pell - 'Morning Star' (official lyric video)

I still remember
all the passion and all the lies
but I never surrender
letting our love flow,
Trying to survive

On and on, we spread our wings
brawling around,
But kings will be kings

Morning Star
a light from above,
Came from afar
Morning Star
falls down from the sky
And looking bizarre
Morning Star

We tried to stay calm
but sooner or later
We'll lose our love
never had a real chance
that was clear from the start

Morning Star
a light from above,
Came from afar
Morning Star
falls down from the sky
And looking bizarre

Morning Star
came down to earth
And leaving a scar
Morning Star
but I´m calling the shots,
That's how we are
Morning Star

Το έκτο μέρος της σειράς - συλλογής "The Ballads" θα κυκλοφορήσει ο Axel Rudi Pell. Τιτλοφορείται "The Ballads VI", αναμένεται τον δεύτερο ανοιξιάτικο μήνα, με τον Γερμανό κιθαρίστα να μας λέει σχετικά: «Usually we only have 3 new songs on the Ballads compilations, but this time we recorded 5 new tracks!»

Ο Axel Rudi Pell σχημάτισε το προσωπικό του σχήμα το μακρινό 1989, μόλις έφυγε από τους Steeler. Είναι ενεργό μέχρι και τις ημέρες μας έχοντας κυκλοφορήσει 21 "ολοκληρωμένους" στουντιακούς δίσκους (συν επτά συλλογές, πέντε live albums, 19 singles, τέσσερα VHS / DVDs και ένα demo).

Δελτίο τύπου: «Ballads play a very special role in the history of rock music. Firstly: They document the emotional side of the genre and show that behind (almost) every rocker`s hard chest beats a soft heart.

Secondly: Those quieter songs are being played by radio stations without rock-affinity - and are loved by listeners for their emotional depth. And thirdly: In an increasingly hectic world, ballads offer brief moments of pause, of reflection on the essential things in life.

So it's no wonder that the ballad compilations of the Axel Rudi Pell Band are an absolute success. Over 250,000 copies have been sold of ‘The Ballads I’ (1993) to ‘The Ballads V’ (2017) alone.

And nine (!) of the current Top-10 most streamed Pell songs on Spotify are ballads! More than enough reason therefore, why fans of the Bochum guitarist and songwriter regularly push for a continuation of this release series.»
