Deep Purple - 'Burn' (Remastered 2004)
The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire
The woman's flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her a liar
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was the devil's sperm
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn"
"When I leave there's no return"
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear "Burn!"
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire
The woman's flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her a liar
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was the devil's sperm
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn"
"When I leave there's no return"
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear "Burn!"
"Burn", ένα από τα ωραιότερα τραγούδια των Deep Purple. Πρόκειται για το μουσικό κομμάτι που "ανοίγει" τον ομότιτλο δίσκο (όχι απλά δίσκο, δισκάρα!), ο οποίος κυκλοφόρησε τον Φεβρουάριο του 1974. Το βασικό του μουσικό θέμα είναι εμπνευσμένο από το τραγούδι του George Gershwin "Fascinating Rhythm" που κυκλοφόρησε πριν από... έναν αιώνα (το 1924)!!!
Το τραγούδι ηχογραφήθηκε στο Μοντρέ της Ελβετίας τον Νοέμβριο του 1973. Οι στίχοι ανήκουν στον David Coverdale, ο οποίος είχε δηλώσει πως έγραψε επτά διαφορετικές εκδοχές πριν κάνει την τελική επιλογή. Το "Burn" κυκλοφόρησε και αυτόνομα, ως single (7"). Ακούμε τον Ritchie Blackmore (κιθάρα), τον Jon Lord (πλήκτρα), τον David Coverdale (φωνητικά), τον Ian Paice (τύμπανα) και τον Glenn Hughes (μπάσο και φωνητικά).
