Deep purple - Child in time 2022, (Lyrically) A-I-llustrated

Deep purple is the color of my dreams

Written by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice from Deep Purple’s 1970 album Deep Purple In Rock

“Child In Time” is an anti-Vietnam War protest song considered the band’s epic achievement as well as one of the greatest progressive rock pieces of all time.

Each member’s musical strengths created a composition that so powerfully captured the moods and chaos of the times highlighted by Jon Lord’s haunting organ, Ritchie Blackmore’s bluesy machine gun-like guitar solos and Ian Gillan’s vocal in what is perhaps the finest performance in the history of the heavy metal/hard rock genre.

Gillan has admitted “Child In Time” is based on American band It’s A Beautiful Day’s 1969 psychedelic rock piece Bombay Calling. Though faster paced and violin driven, Deep Purple borrowed a substantial part of the arrangement as the basis for Lord and Blackmore’s instrumental riffs and solos. In 1970 It’s A Beautiful Day lifted Deep Purple’s “Wring That Neck” and morphed it into “Don And Dewey” from their second album Marrying Maiden.

Deep Purple in Rock marked a return to their rock roots after flirting with classical music influences in some of their previous work.

Lyrics

Sweet child in time
You'll see the line
The line that's drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world
Bullets flying
Oh, taking toll
If you've been bad
Oh, Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit
Oh, by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Oh
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Sweet child in time
You'll see the line
The line that's drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world
Bullets flying
Oh, taking toll
If you've been bad
Lord, I bet you have
And you've not been hit
Oh, by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
Oh
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
