Rainbow - Stargazer

Hello,

There is a connection between Giorgio Moroder and this song. The album, Rising, or Rainbow Rising, was recorded at Giorgio Moroder's studio, Musicland Studios, in Munich. In this studio, the entire orchestra of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra was invited to record this album with Rainbow. I like classical music, rock and electro, and this song combines all three styles of music. They used an electronic organ from Vako Synthesizers Incorporated. The connection to Whitesnake also arises, apart from the fact that Whitesnake also recorded an album with Giorgio, Ritchie Blackmore, together with David Coverdale, was involved in Deep Purple, and actually he is also said to have had an influence on Still of the Night.

In this song, Ronnie James Dio tells an exciting story about a magician who uses people as slaves to realise his dream of flying, but dies in the end. The song is set in ancient Egypt and has an oriental influence.

A few weeks ago, my friend @uwelang wrote about Giorgio Moroder. Today about his favourite song, namely Whitesnake with Still of the Night. It's a good song too, it has to be said. His question was what is a good rock song for us. One of my favourite songs is Stargazer by Rainbow. I chose this song specifically because it fits in with the artists that Uwe introduced. You may have noticed that I like the history of the songs and their symbolism. I'd love to hear a rock song recommendation from @reiseamateur and @ravenmus1c, as people directly involved in the music, or even @slobberchops because he's from the land of rock.

Hallo,

Es gibt eine Verbindung zwischen Giorgio Moroder und diesem Lied. Das Album, Rising, oder Rainbow Rising, wurde im Studio von Giorgio Moroder, Musicland Studios, in München aufgenommen. In diesem Studio wurde das gesamte Orchester der Münchner Philharmoniker eingeladen, mit Rainbow dieses Album aufzunehmen. Ich mag klassische Musik, Rock und Elektro, und dieses Lied verbindet alle drei Musikrichtungen. Sie haben eine elektronische Orgel von Vako Synthesizers Incorporated benutzt. Die Verbindung zu Whitesnake ergibt sich auch, abgesehen davon, dass Whitesnake auch ein Album mit Giorgio aufgenommen haben, war Ritchie Blackmore, zusammen mit David Coverdale, an Deep Purple beteiligt, und eigentlich soll er auch bei Still of the Night seinen Einfluss gehabt haben.

Ronnie James Dio erzählt in diesem Lied eine spannende Geschichte über einen Zauberer, der Menschen als Sklaven benutzt, um seinen Traum vom Fliegen zu verwirklichen, am Ende aber stirbt. Das Lied spielt im alten Ägypten und hat einen orientalischen Einfluss.

Vor ein paar Wochen hat mein Freund @uwelang über Giorgio Moroder geschrieben. Heute über seinen Lieblingssong, nämlich Whitesnake mit Still of the Night. Es ist auch ein guter Song, muss man sagen. Seine Frage war, was für uns ein guter Rocksong ist. Eines meiner Lieblingslieder ist Stargazer von Rainbow. Ich habe dieses Lied speziell ausgesucht, weil es zu den Künstlern passt, die Uwe vorgestellt hat. Vielleicht habt ihr gemerkt, dass ich die Geschichte der Lieder und ihre Symbolik mag. Ich würde gerne mal ein Rocklied Empfehlung hören von @reiseamateur und @ravenmus1c, als direkt an der Musik beteiligte Personen oder sogar @slobberchops, denn er kommt aus dem Land des Rocks.

Lyrics

High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides, why he's lighter than air
Oh I see his face!
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe
In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?
Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins, while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face!
Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
Hey, I believe, I believe
In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
Just to see him fly
Too many die
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But we don't know why
Ooh, now where do we go
All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound, as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face!
Where was your star?
Was it far, was it far
When did we leave?
We believed, we believed, we believed
In heat and rain
With the whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We built a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
To see him fly
But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly
Look at my flesh and bone
Now, look, look, look, look,
Look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Time is standing still
He gave back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh
Take me back
He gave me back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home
My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh
Take me back, take me back
Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh
