The alternative that finished 2nd in the selection process was titled "The Road".ĭeepest Purple: The Very Best of Deep Purple When We Rock, We Rock & When We Roll, We Roll King Biscuit Flower Hour Live at the California Jam, 1974 Shades 1968-1998 Archive Alive Live at the California Jam The Very Best of Deep Purple The Very Best of Deep Purple Soldier of Fortune: The Greatest Hits Live in California 1976: On the Wings of a Russian Foxbat Very Best of Deep Purple Mk III: The Final Concerts This Time Around: Live in Tokyo '75 Purple Chronicle: The Best Selection, Vol. Blackmore was looking for castles & damsels/ dungeons & dragons/devil's daughters & demons type lyrics for the track anyway (like the majority of DP's music back then, the music was usaully created first, then the lyrics would get written) and Coverdale, being brand new in the band & eager to please, provided 4 different sets of lyrics. The lyrics are almost to an Ian Gillan level of silliness, proving that Mk3 Deep Purple didn't lose too much of Mk2's trademarks.
Lyrically, it's a bit silly in retrospect, but no more or no less silly than what had been being churned out for years already at that point by any # of other artists, and what's been churned out since. Ideal - what a real old school rock concert, aged & grown mutually and ‘shared’ by everyone- the band, the audience, and former strangers making a spoken & unspoken connections while sharing the experience. Entirely enjoyable concert Masterful musicians, clearly enjoying their craft, and genuinely fully appreciative of the audience. I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune.General CommentWhat does this song mean to me? Well, it marked a whole new era in Deep Purple was all! And what a helluva debut! Right from the killer opening riff (based - accidentally, according to Blackmore - on "Fascinating Rythym", to Paice's energetic drumming (he drops fills in all over the place) throughout, to Jon Lord's 'signature' Hammond song - this track absolutely lit up the old turntable back in '74! Finally after all these years, saw Deep Purple live. I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune. I can hear the sound of a windmill goin' round.
Smoke on the water is the greatest hit of Deep Purle. Thomas from St.-niklaas, Belgium Deep purple is a legend. there are some great deep purple songs like child in time and soldier of fortune. I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune. Dino from Athens, Greece I thing its overrated.
Now!!! I feel I'm growing older, And the songs that I have sung, Echo in the distance, Like the sound of a windmill goin' round. Though blindness is confusing It shows that you're not here. Deep Purple - Soldier Of Fortune (Letras y cancin para escuchar) - I feel Im growing older / And the songs that I have sung / Echo in the distance / Like. Those days I thought my eyes Had seen you're standing near. In days of old when nights were cold, I wandered without you. Many times I've been a traveler I looked for something new. Lyrics to 'Soldier Of Fortune' by DEEP PURPLE: I have often told you stories / About the way / I lived the life of a drifter / Waiting for the day / When I'd take your hand / And sing you songs / Then maybe you would say / Come lay with me love me / And I would surely stay / But I feel I'm growing older / And the so. When I'd take your hand and sing you songs, Then maybe you would say Come lay with me and love me And I would surely stay.īut I feel I'm growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound of a windmill goin' round. A A Soldier of Fortune I have often told you stories about the way I lived the life of a drifter waiting for the day when I'd take your hand and sing you songs, then maybe you would say 'Come lay with me (and) love me', and I would surely stay. I have often told you stories about the way, I lived the life of a drifter waiting for the day.
