ian gillan

i've got this amazing song in my head, i believe it's sung by ian gillan, with Deep Purple. it's called Child in Time. what an amazing song. the version i have is just over 10 minutes long. i think tom copied it for me in the middle of the original Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack - why JCS? well, because ian gillan sings the part of Jesus on the soundtrack :)

Child in Time really rocks. there isn't much to the lyrics, just a few lines, but the instrumentation, and the drive of the music, it's sooooo cool. and when gillan sings, ooooh, he's so awesome, what a solid voice he's got. it's definitely a song from the 70s, prog rock at its best.

definitely a great choice for the voice of Jesus, recorded in 1970. oh, to hear him singing lines like "why should you want to know? why are you obsessed with fighting?" and "bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now, before i change my mind"...

phew...
