Here I go again

David Coverdale reemplaza en 1973 a Ian Gillan en los Deep Purple en la voz. Tras unos años gloriosos de Rock, la decadencia llegaba a DP. Y en ese proceso, entra David a firmar algunos grandes discos como Burn o Stormbringer antes de la disolución (no definitiva) de la banda...

...para fundar su propia banda, Whitesnake de la que ha sido líder hasta ahora, y en la que en diferentes periodos colaboraron antiguos compañero de DP coo Ian Paice o Jon Lord. Referencia indiscutible del Hard Rock de los 80...

acan este tema en el año 1982 en el álbum Saints & Sinners, pero es la versión de 1987, del homónimo Whitesnake
la más famosa. Un clásico entre clásicos. Here i go again.

Clásico que refleja perfectamente un estado, de agonía e ímpetu. De tesón y cobardía. De pegar patada p'alante y cerrar lo ojos por no mirar atrás.

O abrirlos y mirar si el camino, ese de los sueños que vibra la canción, sigue ahí reflejado.

Im just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on loves sweet charity
An Im gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

Y si al abrir los ojos, no está, me estrello por camino, da igual.

Here I go again.

I dont know where Im going
But, I sure know where Ive been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Tho I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what Im looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time

Im just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on loves sweet charity
An Im gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time...

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...
