Παράλληλα με τον “συνθέτη του μήνα” που είναι ο Carlos Santana, θα τρέξουμε ένα αφιέρωμα σε ένα από τους σχετικά αφανείς ήρωες των ’70s. Τον μεγάλο Βρετανό τραγουδιστή John Lawton [Lucifer’s Friend, Uriah Heep]. Ξεκινάμε με ένα τραγούδι των Γερμανών πρωτοπόρων του heavy metal από το πρώτο, ομώνυμο άλμπουμ τους, ομαδική σύνθεση του γκρουπ.

Alongside the “composer of the month” who is Carlos Santana, we’ll will run a tribute to one of the relatively unknown heroes of the ’70s. The great British singer John Lawton [Lucifer’s Friend, Uriah Heep].
We start with a song from the German heavy metal pioneers first self-titled album, co-written by the members of the group.

❝ Hey baby would you stop those stupid games
That you are playing
Hey baby is it lies or is it true
What they are saying
When you’re on your own you play around
Set me free
Hey baby is it mine or someone else’s bed
You’.ll sleep tonight
Tell me baby, if it’s someone else, make sure
That he will treat you right
When you’re on your own you play around
Set me free ❞

Enjoy!
