Deep purple -- 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 love me and I would surely stay
　　But 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
　　I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
　　
　　　Many times I've been a traveler I looked for something new
　　In days of old when nights were cold
　　I wandered without you
　　But those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
　　Though blindness is confusing
　　It shows that you're not here
　　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
　　I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
　　Yes, I can hear the sound
　　Of a windmill goin' 'round
　　I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune

Deep Purple作为世界摇滚音乐史上最伟大的重金属乐队之一，其于1968年组建于英国的Hertford，Deep Purple之所以未能问鼎重金属领域中桂冠的位置，主要有两个原因，其一在于Deep Purple频繁地更换乐队成员，就连主唱也调整过三回，再有就是同时期Led Zeppelin乐队的崛起，其中主唱Robert Plant和主音吉他Jimmy Page珠连璧合的演绎，至今，在整个摇滚音乐史上也无人能匹敌。由此看来，Deep Purple中的主音吉他Ritchie Blackmore虽然技艺超群，但始终没有遇到能与自己实力相当的主唱，而只能存活在Jimmy Page的阴影里。Deep Purple于1976年解散后，又于1984年重组，但是他们重组后的音乐作品，其水准实在令人难以恭维，同时期组建的新劲重金属乐队Extreme的任何一张专辑都足以令Deep Purple汗颜。然而，Deep Purple 在重金属音乐的起始阶段，所做出的杰出贡献无疑会令后人永远地尊敬。
