about
Cover version of the great Deep Purple mkiii song, written by Richie Blackmore and David Coverdale.
When looking for the next track for their "Dungeon Sessions", Roy had mentioned that he always had wanted to attempt to sing the song, but he wasn't sure if it could be done. Afterall, he's singing the parts of both Coverdale AND Hughes - no easy task, but it sounded like a good reason to make this the next song in those sessions.
Chris liked the challenge of being able to build a track for him to attempt his vocals on, and got to work on things when this came up, while he was probably having some of the same thoughts Roy had along the lines of "holy shit, can I do this"? The results are obviously a new take on things that hopefully pay respects to the original as well. We're certainly happy with it.
lyrics
Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way
