He can sound diabolical and also romantic . He can sound diabolically romantic and romantically diabolical. Here, he just sounds...pure, romantic and, let's be honest, even melodically sweet(for lack of a better word). Definitely one of the best singers I ever heard.
When real artists once existed. A guitar, a voice, zero autotune and pure talent and soul. Songs that by their sound alone touched the heart and deep into the soul. Crimson Idol is among the best rock-opera ever.
I’ve seen this video about a million times and it never gets old. When I can’t sleep this song always helps relax me enough to where I can sleep. It’s just so so beautiful and emotional
These lyrics are so raw, deep and honest!!!!! They draw you into the song so deeply, the way a true masterpiece of a song should!!!! I am so thankful to have heard this song!!!!! I want his CD for sure!!!!!
This shit right fuckin' here is exactly what I need. When I take about music that has pulled me back from the ledge of suicide, depths of addiction, and mental health issues. This song gets the job done. Thank you Blackie, from the bottom of my heart. Today is a good day not to die. And it's because of music I live to fight another day. Peace and love to those still in the struggle.
Именно с этих аккустических записей и началась моя любовь к W.A.S.P. Потом уже я увидела клипы, потрясающие записи с шоу тогда, в 80х и 30 лет спустя. Блэки выдающийся музыкант, автор песен и артист. Но вот эти акустические записи из Crimson Idol - это какое-то чудо... Я до сих пор не понимаю, как так можно дотрагиваться до сердец людей! Через время, через культурный и языковой барьер. Это выдающаяся музыка, и я думаю со временем её будут ценить всё сильнее и сильнее. Здоровья и сил Блэки! ❤❤
Crazy to think that under the aggressive, intimidating, crazy and raw showman personality lies this guy! No makeup, no blood, no meat just beautiful voice and acoustic guitar. Blackie is awesome!
Я до сих пор не знаю как хорошо перевести на русский это выражение)) Hold on to my heart - дословно да, держись за моё сердце, но в русском нет такого выражения. Есть переводы, где пишут "прижмись к моему сердцу", это звучит прекрасно, но не точно. А вообще я когда ещё даже не знала текст (я почти не понимаю английский на слух), меня эта эта песня в этом исполнении до слез тронула, хотя я не плачу обычно от песен. Я просто сидела и слезы лились сами собой, и было как-то горько и легко одновременно. Удивительно, вот как можно так сочинить и петь ✨
I'd go as far to say that Blackie had the best voice in rock n roll ever. I mean, sure, he doesn't have that sebastian bach power at the top of his range, but he is so much more versatile than all other rock singers. Hard to think of anyone who even comes close.
I agree. As much as I have others that I think are on par on Blackies level, he has a howling and haunting presence in his voice that always gives me chills.
Lyrics: There's a flame, flame in my heart And there's no rain, can put it out And there's a flame, it's burning in my heart And there's no rain, ooh can put it out So just hold me, hold me, hold me Take away the pain, inside my soul And I'm afraid, so all alone Take away the pain, that's burning in my soul Cause I'm afraid that I'll be all alone So just hold me, hold me, hold me Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me And oh no, don't let me go cause all I am You hold in your hands, and hold me And I'll make it through the night And I'll be alright, hold on, hold on to my heart Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to me And oh no, don't let me go cause all I am You hold in your hands, and hold me And I'll make it through the night And I'll be alright, hold on, hold on to my heart
"Держись за моё сердце "-именно так;и не иначе переводится название этой баллады о любви Блэки Лоулеса... Ну ОЧЕНЬ КРАСИВО. Все остальные слова излишни...
I really love some of the tracks these have have knocked out in the past but sometimes I just wish he’d drop it down half a key especially now he’s older lol
we need more passionate, heart on your sleeve, singers... not just 'performers' ... an honest voice will always trump a 'good voice' ... so plaintive.. makes me weep whenever I hear his voice.. *sigh*
This is almost...country. I mean, it's still got that smoked whiskey distortion inimitable to Blackie, but, yeah: if Chris Stapleton covered this it would be incredible.
