When A Blindman Cries - 딥 퍼플(Deep purple)

영국 출신의 5인조 하드록 그룹 딥 퍼플 1968년 결성된 70년대를 풍미했던 전설적인 하드록 그룹으로 고출력의 헤비 메탈 음악을 잉태시켰다. 그룹 이름은 피터 드 로즈의 곡에서 따왔으며 한때 록의 메인으로 자리잡았던 하드록 사운드 절정의 시작이었던 그시기의 밴드들중 자타가 공인하는 소리의 볼륨에서의 최강자였다. 한때는 기네스북 공인의 '세계에서 가장 시끄러운 밴드' 비록 레드제플린에 비하여 세계적인 무대에서는 뒤진감이 있었지만 국내와 일본에서는 Ledzeppelin을 누루고 이들이 최고였다. 절대 맴버가 바뀌지 않았던 Ledzeppelin과는 달리 Deep purple은 잦은 맴버교체가 있었다. 그 선두에는 세계적인 기타리스트이자 리더격이며 리치 블렉모어의 독선이 있었다. 초기에는 여러 리메이크들이 많았던만큼 이들이 색이 뚜렸하지 않았지만 권력의 축이 존로드에서 리치 블렉모어로 옮겨가며 이들의 황금 시대도 열리고했다. 딥 퍼플의 명곡 중에 대표 곡 'Black night'도 있다.

If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale

Had a friend once in a room
had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month in that room
we found a reason for the things we had to do

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul
