Black Night

Song by Deep Purple

Black night is not right

I don't feel so bright

I don't care to sit tight

Maybe I'll find on the way down the line

That I'm free, free to be me

Black night is a long way from home

I don't need a dark tree

I don't want a rough sea

I can't feel, I can't see

Maybe I'll find on the way down the line

That I'm free, free to be me

Black night is a long way from home

Black night, black night

I don't need black night

I can't see dark night

Maybe I'll find on the way down the line

That I'm free, free to be me

Black night is a long way from home

Songwriters: Glover / Blackmore / Gillian / Lord / Paice

Deep Purple

Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in London in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, but their musical approach has changed over the years. Originally formed as a psychedelic rock and progressive rock band, they shifted to a heavier sound with their 1970 album Deep Purple in Rock. Deep Purple, together with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, have been referred to as the "unholy trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid- seventies". They were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band" for a 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.

Personal Recollections

Deep Purple in Rock

Deep Purple in Rock is the fourth studio album by Deep Purple, released on 5 June 1970. It was the first studio album recorded by the Mark II line-up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon

Work on In Rock began shortly after Gillan and Glover joined the band in June 1969, with rehearsals at Hanwell Community Centre. The music was intended to be loud and heavy, and accurately represent the group's live show. Recording took place at various studios around London in between extensive touring, during which time songs and arrangements were honed into shape. In Rock was the band's breakthrough album in Europe and peaked at No. 4 in the UK, remaining in the charts for over a year; the band's prior MK I albums had been much better received in the US. An accompanying single, "Black Night" reached No. 2. The album has continued to attract critical praise as a key early example of the hard rock and heavy metal genres.
