Deep Purple was formed in Hertford, England, in 1968, with an inaugural lineup that featured guitarist Blackmore, vocalist Rod Evans, bassist Nick Simper, keyboardist Jon Lord, and drummer Ian Paice. Initially dubbed Roundabout, the group was first assembled as a session band for ex-Searchers drummer Chris Curtis but quickly went their own way, touring Scandinavia before beginning work on their debut LP, Shades of Deep Purple. The most pop-oriented release of their career, the album generated a Top Five American hit with its reading of Joe South's "Hush" but otherwise went unnoticed at home. The Book of Taliesyn followed (in the U.S. only) in 1969, again cracking the U.S. Top 40 with a cover of Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman." With their self-titled third LP, Deep Purple's ambitions grew, however; the songs reflecting a new complexity and density as Lord's classically influenced keyboards assumed a much greater focus. Soon after the album's release, their American label Tetragrammaton folded, and with the dismissals of Evans and Simper, the band started fresh, recruiting singer Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover from the ranks of the pop group Episode Six. The revamped Deep Purple's first album, 1970's Concerto for Group and Orchestra, further sought to fuse rock and classical music. When the project, which was recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, was poorly received, Blackmore took creative control of the band, steering it towards a heavier, guitar-dominated approach which took full advantage of Gillan's powerful vocals. The gambit worked; 1970's Deep Purple in Rock heralded the beginning of the group's most creatively and commercially successful period. At home, the album sold over a million copies, with the subsequent non-LP single "Black Night" falling just shy of topping the U.K. pop charts. 1971's Fireball was also a smash, scoring a hit with "Strange Kind of Woman." Plans to record the follow-up at the Casino in Montreux, Switzerland, were derailed after the venue burned down during a live appearance by Frank Zappa, but the experience inspired Deep Purple's most enduring hit, the AOR staple "Smoke on the Water." The song, featured on the multi-platinum classic Machine Head, reached the U.S. Top Five in mid-1972 and positioned Deep Purple among rock's elite; the band consolidated its status with the 1973 studio follow-up Who Do We Think We Are and the hit "Woman From Tokyo." However, long-simmering creative differences between Blackmore and Gillan pushed the latter out of the group that same year, with Glover soon exiting as well; singer David Coverdale and bassist/singer Glenn Hughes were recruited for 1974's Burn, and Gillan meanwhile formed a band bearing his own name. After completing 1974's Stormbringer, Blackmore left Deep Purple to form Rainbow with vocalist Ronnie James Dio; his replacement was ex-James Gang guitarist Tommy Bolin, who made his debut on Come Taste the Band. All the changes clearly took their toll, however, and following a farewell tour, the group dissolved in 1976 with Coverdale going on to form Whitesnake; Bolin died of a drug overdose later in the year. The classic lineup of Blackmore, Gillan, Lord, Glover, and Paice reunited Deep Purple in 1984 for a new album, the platinum smash Perfect Strangers; The House of Blue Light followed three years later, but as past tensions resurfaced, Gillan again exited in mid-1989. Onetime Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner was recruited for 1990's Slaves and Masters before Gillan again rejoined to record The Battle Rages On..., an apt title as Blackmore quit the group midway through the supporting tour, to be temporarily replaced by Joe Satriani. br /br /In 1994, Steve Morse took over the guitar slot, fresh from a stint in Kansas; the revitalized group returned to the studio for 1996's Purpendicular, which proved a success among the Purple faithful. 1998's Abandon followed, as well as a 1999 orchestral performance released the following year as Live at the Royal Albert Hall. Deep Purple was given the box set treatment the same year with the four-disc set Shades: 1968-1998, which collected hits, demos, live takes, and unreleased tracks from throughout the years (touching upon all of Purple's different lineups). The late '90s/early 2000s saw the release of several other archival releases and collections (Machine Head 25th Anniversary, Friends & Relatives, Rhino's The Very Best Of, and Days May Come and Days May Go: The 1975 California Rehearsals), as well as a slew of DVDs (Total Abandon: Live Australia 1999, In Concert with the London Symphony Orchestra, Bombay Calling, and New Live & Rare). Former member Blackmore also kept himself busy after leaving the band by issuing a single album with his briefly resuscitated outfit Rainbow (1998's Stranger in Us All), before forming the Renaissance-inspired Blackmore's Night with fiancee/vocalist Candice Night. Despite numerous lineup upheavals during their career, Deep Purple remains alive and well in the 21st century.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643966098553157738.post-74632513620541638872008-11-12T12:15:00.000-08:002008-11-12T12:15:14.730-08:00Almost HumanI know you're the only one who understands<br />Afore ye go, before you leave<br />You always shake my hand<br />Even when I'm crazy, on fire and naked<br />Just as Nature intended<br />No style but easily blended<br /><br />You always know where I'll be found<br />Hanging somewhere near the ground<br />Help me up or help me down<br /><br />Don't want to lose those days<br />When everything is just a haze<br />I'm dreaming<br /><br />I believe I could walk before I learned to crawl<br />When I look up, the Devil's looking back<br />From the mirror on the wall<br />You can open the door<br />Got my feet stuck to the floor<br />I may have lost my way<br />But I didn't get where I am today<br /><br />Don't want to lose those days<br />When everything is just a haze<br />I'm dreaming<br /><br />You spin into my empty room<br />And once again I'm almost human<br />Almost humanUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643966098553157738.post-71293677983709491902008-11-12T12:12:00.001-08:002008-11-12T12:12:29.373-08:00AnthemWhen the night wind softly blows through my open window<br />Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy<br />Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow<br />Bringing tears to eyes so tired<br />Eyes I thought could cry no more<br /><br />If the day would only come<br />Then you might just appear <br />Even though you'd soon be gone<br />When I reached out my hand<br /><br />If I could see you<br />If only I could see you<br />To see if you are laughing or crying<br />When the night winds softly blow<br /><br />In my dark and whispering room<br />Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings<br />Take my hand and brush my brow<br />In the warm and fevered dark<br />Heart is madly beating<br />My crazy thoughts are burning<br />When the night winds softly blow<br /><br />If the day would only come<br />Then you might just appear <br />Even though you'd soon be gone<br />When I reached out my hand<br /><br />If I could see you<br />If only I could see you<br />To see if you are laughing or crying<br />When the night winds softly blow<br /><br />If the day would only come<br />Then you might just appear <br />Even though you'd soon be gone<br />When I reached out my hand<br /><br />If I could see you<br />If only I could see you<br />To see if you are laughing or crying<br />When the night winds softly blowUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643966098553157738.post-69261013228938559932008-11-12T12:09:00.000-08:002008-11-12T12:10:51.725-08:00AnyaIm so far away<br />From everything you know<br />Your name is carried on the wind<br />Your ice blue waters anya<br />Where do they flow<br />Where have they been<br />Where have they been<br /><br />A hidden passion<br />Touching a spark<br />Flame of revolution<br />Burning wild in your gypsy heart<br />Your gypsy heart<br /><br />Anya - the spirit of freedom<br />Anya - oh anya<br /><br />The light of freedom buried<br />Deep within your soul<br />Across the puszta plain to see<br />The rhapsody of angels<br />Refuse to dance alone<br />What do they mean<br />What do they mean<br /><br />Your jewel flashing<br />Across the dark<br />Forbidding distance<br />I love your gypsy heart<br />Your gypsy heart<br /><br />AnyaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643966098553157738.post-13763791326462789752008-11-12T12:08:00.000-08:002008-11-12T12:09:14.855-08:00Anyone's DaughterI stood under your bedroom window<br />Throwing up a brick<br />No one came I threw one more<br />That really did the trick<br />Your daddy came and banged my head<br />He said what kind of man<br />Is this that's hanging 'round my girl<br />And threw me in the car<br />You're a farmer's daughter<br />You're a farmer's daughter<br />Why do I always get<br />The kinda girl I didn't oughta get<br />I won't get no more eggs and water<br />Now I've laid the farmer's daughter<br /><br />Imagine I was a full-grown man<br />And I could talk just right<br />Could I come and see you here<br />And do this every night<br />Wham!

The first section is played by just Jon and Ritchie. Jon played piano and organ, and Ritchie played acoustic guitar (a rhythm pattern and a double tracked lead pattern) and electric guitar. The choir was added afterwards. The whole section used about 11 different tracks. Also Ian on timpani can be heard in the background. The second section is Jon's orchestral description of April. The instruments used were : two flutes, two oboes, cor anglais, two clarinets, two violins, viola and two cellos. The third section is a treatment of the chord sequence of the first section in a more "Purple" way. As a whole, we hope April hangs together as personal evocation of a beautiful, but sad (to us) month.<br />April is a cruel time<br />Even though the sun may shine<br />And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away<br />Still falls the April rain<br />And the valley's filled with pain<br />And you can't tell me quite why<br />As i look up to the grey sky<br />Where it should be blue<br />Grey sky where I should see you<br />Ask why, why it should be so<br />I'll cry, say that I don't know<br /><br />Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile<br />But then the feeling comes again of an April without end<br />Of an April lonely as they come<br />In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine<br />But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun<br />And the springtime's the season of the night<br /><br />Grey sky where it should be blue<br />Grey sky where I should see you<br />Ask why, why it should be so<br />I'll cry, say that I don't know<br />I

Began(Airey/Gillan/Glover/Morse/Paice)<br /><br />The daylight fades and the stars comes out<br />But there’s never much to talk about<br />Another day goes rushing by and here we are just wondering why<br />We have to belong with a sense of purpose<br />That’s all we need, without them we’re worthless<br />Ah, we’ve come so far, hmm, but then again<br />All we see is more of the same<br />It’s getting crowded here we agree no doubt<br />Oh dear brother what’s it all about?<br /><br />Hey you over there why don’t you throw down your spear?<br />We all need some help right now<br />Where are we going from here?<br />The way things are working out<br />It won’t be too long before we have to move<br />Better start thinking about it while there’s still time to choose<br /><br />Every day of my life I discover<br />Someone murdering my sisters and brothers<br />In the name of some god or another<br />What do you know<br /><br />For the first precious few it’s time to go<br />What might have been we’ll never know<br />All those bad ideas became the law<br />Oh yes, we’ve forgotten what we’re looking for<br />All of you angels it’s time to gather your wings<br />Leave it all behind you won’t need any of those things<br />We’re going on through the darkness hand in hand<br />To step into the future<br />Before time began<br /><br />And for those who remain with your chosen gods<br />May your prayers be answered.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643966098553157738.post-64846044162345986542008-11-12T11:28:00.001-08:002008-11-12T11:28:27.764-08:00Bird

The middle section is a descending chromatic sequence which is intended to give a sort of "slowing down" effect.<br />I see reflections in the water<br />Autumn colours, summer's daughter<br />And as

from my head<br />Give me all your loving, the way you always do<br />Give me breakfast in bed<br /><br />I feel like the good days are numbered<br />And my nights are getting too long<br />My hopes and my fears take their toll on the years<br />And my willpower's almost gone<br />Well it's a time full of trouble<br />A time of desperate need<br />Sometimes life don't make sense<br />Fighting the anger, jealousy and greed<br />One day I'll look back and wonder where it all went<br /><br />I need someone to pull me through<br />Won't you take the pain from my head<br />Give me all your loving, the way you always do<br />Give me breakfast in bed<br /><br />It don't take much to please me<br />I'm just a simple man<br />Won't you please believe me<br />I gotta tell you<br />It don't take much
