| Imatge: Deep Purple |
Recollint el testimoni de grups i artistes com Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, The Who, Cream o els mateixos Rolling Stones a finals dels anys '60 del segle passat van brillar una sèrie de grups que van transportar el rock cap al rock dur (hard rock) començant a marcar el que després seria el "metal" i "heavy metal".
Un dels grups de capçalera d'aquesta època i estil és Deep Purple, amb cançons mítiques com "Smoke on the water" i discs imprescindibles com el doble elapé en directe "Live in Japan".
L'any 1974, 6 anys després de publicar el seu primer disc, el grup va publicar dos discs més, fet que dóna prou mostra de l'alta activitat creativa i musical de la banda; el primer dels dos editats fa 40 anys va ser "Burn", disc del que avui destaquem la primera, i homònima, cançó. Per cert, aquest va ser un dels primers discs que es van publicitar per la televisió.
Gaudiu-la... i procureu no us cremi!
Burn
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
