Artist Name - Deep Purple
Song Lyrics - Chasing Shadows
 Send Deep Purple "Chasing Shadows" Ringtones to your Cell  (Lord/Paice) An original idea of ian's, who is heard playing drums, timbales, maracas and cowbell. Jon is playing claves. The percussion instruments were tracked on afterwards of course. The song is about one of jon's nightmares. Nicky's bass line is a gas. Jon Lord said this about the song in April 1996: The song was something to do with a nightmare I'd had and the lyrics as I wrote them were: Chasing shadows, over my walls with myself hardly sleeping Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall fill the room with their creeping Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears then they fade into nothing Someone's laughter out in the street fills the night with their loving I feel the ice in my head Running its hands through my bed Not even dreaming I seem to be dead Colours of yellow and colours of red All I'm asking some secret voice is to lead me to darkness Jon forgot the two last lines: I'm so tired, dawn never comes I just hide in the shadows |
