Deep Purple - April Blackmore Lord songtekst

Je score:

section is played by just Jon and Ritchie.  Jon played piano  and
organ, and Ritchie played acoustic guitar (a rhythm pattern and a
double tracked lead pattern) and electric guitar.  The choir  was
added  afterwards.  The  whole section used  about  11  different
tracks.  Also Ian on timpani can be heard in the background.  The
second  section  is Jon's orchestral description  of  April.  The
instruments used were :  two flutes,  two oboes, cor anglais, two
clarinets,  two violins,  viola and two cellos. The third section
is  a  treatment of the cord sequence of the first section  in  a
more "Purple" way.  As a whole,  we hope April hangs together  as
personal evocation of a beautiful, but sad (to us) month."

April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away
Still falls the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And you can't tell me quite why
As I look up to the grey sky
Where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know

Baby once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile
But then the feeling comes again of an April without end
Of an April lonely as a girl
In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine
But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
And the springtime's the season of the night

Grey sky where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
I don't know

 DEEP  PURPLE was,  unusually,  the band's third  album,  recorded
between January and April 1969.  It was the last album to feature
the band's original line up,  which survived until June 1969. The
album  was their most ambitious at the time;  combining hard  rock
and   classical  music  together  -  hardly  the   most   obvious
combination. The track "April" was a taste of things to come later
that year - the "Concerto for Group and Orchestra"....
  The song notes that appear before the lyrics on each track  are
the  sleeve  notes that were issued with  the  original  gatefold
album, but later deleted.
