LYRICS:
He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man, kinda feelin' fine
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire
And as he spoke, I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again
Why don't we listen to the
Voices in our heart?
Cause then I know we'd find
We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
Peace and love can bring
So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars
That guide me with their light
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

I see a lot of older people in the comments here. Fret not my friends, us youngsters are rocking your beautiful music even today.
Awesome, there’s so much more! Enjoy.
This music was made before I was born but I found it at 14. I am now old. Lol. Im so glad you found it my friend. That truly makes me smile
Glad you youngsters have caught on to the magic of the old music. Cheers and rock on
Freakin awesome….that’s the spirit
So very glad you’re here
I'm 70 years old and I remember when this album came out. It was an instant must have.
It is still a must have! At least I think….
67 years on this planet. Thank God for this music.
Amen
IÁM 66 YEARS OLD AND STILL HAPPY.
69.5 loved our era. Never be another one like it xo
Amen!!!🎉
72 years here
Oldies, but goldies!!! I am 67 years " young" and still rockin. Why not? This is us...🎶🎸🎤😊❤
I'm 73 and this is still one of the greatest tracks I've ever heard.
I am 69 and right with you. This is an inspirational piece of music right here. Still remember the old scratchy vinyl LP that I wore out playing this song. May we all find out inner wizard
I'm 63, I borrowed this red 8 track from my brother( Columbia House), have bought it on album, cassette, DVD.i still have the 8 track!
I'm 53. This came out when I was a babe, but I discovered it while stationed in West Germany in the 80's.
Absolutely love it.
I'm 23. I loved it since I've listened the first time. I'm not english native, in that time I didn't even understood the lyrics. But now...
@@Joseph-vr7clkool
Toooo much! I'm 64 and these sounds of Uriah Heep will be with me forever.
Absolutely brilliant. Masterpiece music never forgotten.
Uriah Heep
Great band.....great song
64 and still rocking....
Only good thing about the internet is being able to hear whatever music you desire....
Isn't it the best! Talk to people all around the world! It has lots of hazards but its blessings too
I’m seeing them tonight in concert… Mercury Ballroom!
Till I take my last breath, I will rock the darkness away, till the heavens shake in delight!
Demons and Wizards is one of the greatest albums of 1972. For me, this has always been Uriah Heep's highlight. Remembering summer 1972 still after 50 years...
It is one of the greatest albums of the Classic Rock History not just 1972.
Magicians birthday was also a great piece of work. I listened to both when I was 11 years old in 73.
Paradise the spell, fantastic! The leyric
Magicians birthday was good as well. I have both. I was 12 when I started listening to them and have been since. I'm 61 now and still have the albums from then and have them on cd.
It was the first album I brought with my wages
another geezer here, jamming to this song, exactly like I did 60+ years ago...(only with much better weed! ~grin~)
This album was released in 1972. It will be 52 years old this May.
Amen, so much better weed. Missoni that Outstanding high!!
52 years , not 60 ! Don't make us and the music any older than we already are
@gardensofthegods I'm 68 that's old yawl. Music & weed were a hell of alot better in the late 60s& 70s.
Old or not, good is damn good!!
@@2spirited4u60 How about the prices ... I remember when an ounce of Gold Colombian was $15 and we complained when it went up to $25 ... that was maybe 1977 or 78 .
65 Years old, best years in music. They don't make it like this anymore.
The days of hearing a lead singer like this are long, long gone sadly.
Still here in July 2024?
August now
As a 14 year old in 1970 I found a love that has lasted a lifetime, that love is for great music, thank you Uriah beep, Peter green,Pink Floyd, marmalade, bad finger and many many more for giving me something to live for …..
This is one of the most extraordinary albums on Proto-Prog Rock in the Rock´s History.
It’s not about being a geezer listening, it’s about timeless music that transcends the generations. Peace, Love, Hope 🎉
I wore this album out when I was young. It's a classic. Today's music will never top this!!
Absolutely. Songs of this era are works of art. With album covers that were also works of art.
@Kurt I , I still get psychedelic (LSD-25) flashbacks from 'The Wizard.'
Check the last Greta Van Fleet Meeting the master ....it was inspired by this Heep's masterpiece
Bullshit
When I was 57 years old my 18 year old girlfriend bought this album for me on vinyl. I'm 65 now and she is still in my life. You treat someone good and the never leave. I have long rock n' roll hair with 2 thin grey streaks and it is natural.
BTW she is thin, black, and beautiful. I took her to Oz fest and she was one of the 5 blacks there of the 50,000.
staple party tune for those of us who were teens in the early 70s. Uriah Heep is still a treat to listen to
Classic 50 year old masterpiece that doesn't sound dated at all.
It actually sound incredibly fresh, modern and iconic.
It’s as magnificent as it was the day it was released, becoming a lifelong favorite. I’ve gotta say that as a 71 year old hippie chick, I’ve heard the finest music ever around.
they (not THEY) go back a long way!
Circule hand
..chanced to meet him one night wandering...
Almost 50 years and it's still amazing.
Why don't we listen to the voices in our ❤
60 years old we need this more than ever cheers 🇨🇦❤️
Será eternamente fantástica
You got that right. One of my favorite heep songs
3 minutes of genius.
Thank you Dad for showing me this amazing music. Rest in Peace we all love you so much ❤️
Check the last Greta Van Fleet Meeting the master ....it was inspired by this Heep's masterpiece
@@margix1172 I did and I love it thanks
One of the things Iike about these old songs is that there is a feeling of HOPE about them that you may not find now
My gosh man, there was only one sound different from all others! This line up of Uriah Heep was by far the most lyrical, the most harmonizing! "and" instrumental band that had it all!!!
Check the last Greta Van Fleet Meeting the master ....it was inspired by this Heep's masterpiece
Demons and wizards was the album of choice that year for every party or just get to together, oh to be that young and that energized by life, a time of pure joy …. God I miss my teenage years…
Absolutely hands down the purest & simplest song out there. When I hear this- I hear peace, like I’m in heaven!
Im only 58 but when i first heard this song it transfixed me
Still one of the greatest songs ever
My mom used to play this album when I was a kid. These guys were in a class by themselves.
I love Uriah Heep, David Byron was a monster singer.
Juan Olmo
He was a rock great.
Kind of a tragic figure though. He was kicked out of the band due to excessive drinking and died ten years later in 1985.
I think Byron was up there with the best. The range in his voice was incredible. For me Heep were never the same after Gary Thain died and when David tragically died they never really sounded the same. So sad as they were a fabulous band.
✌
66 yrs old still love this album. Damn, over 50 yrs ago!! SMH.
This band will be to live in our hearts forever!!!
Still a great musical score !! I am 65 now and still rocking !!
68 and still think Tears in My Eyes is one of the baddest rock songs ever !
68 years for me. Growing up through the Music Revolution, starting with the Beatles in 1963, was so great! Immerse yourself, for the final 20 seconds of this song, in the (choir?) background vocals. Nice way to end the song.
All the old sayings hold truth.. the one that comes to mind here is "They just don't make em like they used to".
This is a true Masterpiece.❤❤❤❤❤❤
The most underrated band in rock history. I'll be fulfilling a dream by seeing them play in Cyprus in September 2022!!!
What commendable after more than 5 decades is the lyric complemented by the badass vocals of the 70's ... abominably missing in songwriting today
At 64, I just listened to the entire song for the first time in who knows how many years and I still knew every word and every riff !!!!!!! Classic !!!
Same here. You and I were 14 years old when this album came out and I for one wore the grooves out of it. I also enjoyed playing it on my guitar...
I’m 65. I hear ya man!!
One of my first Albums that I ever purchased myself with lawn mowing money, I still have it. I cherish this song more today than ever before, I actually cry now, we were never meant to live this way, stuck in some kind of slave construct or open prison. I am seeing a split though as of late, there seems to be many waking up, but just as many or more that seem dependent on the system, perhaps we are seperating, I pray for a positive future, especially for the children.
Yo tambien
This was my youthhood. Oh my God, that band was something... Before we all are dead, please remember, there is another possibility. Pray, baby...
Takes me back to early 70s cruising the town with friends partying and cranking Uriah Heep😮
So spoke the wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic (k)night
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light
Excellent song. Uriah Heep has stood the test of time. Their songs sound just as good now as they did then.
Another geezer!! Proud of it. If you ve neveri listened to this, between speakers, youve ndver heard it.
Even better with headphones, another geezer here 70yrs on this rock.
Let me cry. So good, I'm so glad I'm old enough to experience this in its time.
Same here..
Im crying right now.
Masterpiece
I am 57 and I saw them in 1982 in Nashville, TN opening for Judas Priest. One of the best bands I ever saw live.
моята любима група , от детсвото ,та досега . сигурен съм ,че кен ,дейвид и джон пеят в момента на Бога!
The whole album is great but this opening track is probably my favorite.
Still brings tears to my eyes 50 years on.
50 yrs, and this is still the best song ever!
These lyrics can be the manifesto of the world. Epic.
Listened to this album daily, Uriah Heep was never matched and far before their time with such meaningful lyrics in today's world!
This song chills me from head to toe. Everything about it is fantastic. Perfect intro, amazing voice not to mention the backing vocals. Love this band in every single era. Simply spectacular!!
My favorite album by them and this is my favorite song by them. ♥️
That was the first real song I was ever able to play on the guitar that sounded good I loved it I practiced every day for years
Read your review of The Wizard. One of the first songs I learned to play and sing also. 49years ago. Whipped it out at a club last Saturday. The place went bananas. How do you follow a song like this?
I saw these guys in 78. Best show in the world!
Classic Heep song off their best album !
Uriah Heep... Britain's greatest band!
This group of musicians jelled at the tight time, just unbelievable !
I remember the first time I heard the Heep. Long ago, I was mesmerized by their presence. Decades later, this utter feeling of awe continues. They were perfect!
Greetings from Oregon. What a great band. I knew they were tight. Helped they're stage 1975. Toledo Ohio. They are cool as hell..
this was my favorite son and at the concert was disappointed when they did not perform the song.
This was my FIRST concert at age 15. I went tripping on acid with my best friend, cousin and her two friends. Still my FAVORITE concert and I've seen too many!! I still fall asleep this album! I'm 66! Billy Preston played piano and backed the band. It was absolutely magical!! ❤✌️
This is the best name of a band....ever.
ah the early 70s - sooo much great music !
found this song while looking for a song about wizards, and gotta say this was a fantastic introduction to Uriah Heep. One of my favorite songs of all time definitely!
That was music. Today you hear it once or twice and then that's it. Heep and the others are eternal.
This song and album cover encapsulated me has a child. I’m only 30 years old now, I’m so grateful for my parents showing me so much different music, bout to listen to some Iron butterfly after this!
Another of the '57 variety I was lucky enough to be there at that 'Friday night in Birmingham ' when they flooded the ground floor with dry ice. Brilliant band.
Stumbled across this song and now I've gone down the rabbit hole....WOW!
an anthem for the ages
Echoes man, echoes. Just amazing how you can not hear a song for decades and yet every thing is still as fresh and new in memory as if not a day has passed. Beautiful man.
One of the best songs of this great band when it was at its best. Amazing!
Mr. David Byron Rip
Mr. Lee Kerslake Rip
Mr. Gary Thain Rip
Mr. Ken Kensley Rip
Mr. Mick Box Long Live ⚡🔥😎
Great Band Great Álbum Criminally Underrated
What utter garbage! Uriah Heep are not underrated in the slightest!
Величайшая группа всех времён и народов!
I Love this song right back from the first time I heard it 50 Years ago
Uriah Heep - syper, class single 👌 ,thanks !!!
I use to listen to Uriah Heep on my gramma's cabinet stereo
Eight track player for me. Damm track would switch in the middle on some songs
Awesome...UH....bestest of all times...classic tunes still loved...
“Why don’t we listen to the voices in our heart, cause then I know we’d find we’re not so far apart. Everybody’s got to be happy everyone should see, for we know the joy of life and peace that love can bring.” 1:28

Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Thank you for the lyrics, man.
Thank you very much.
🙏
@@alfonsovargas5045 You are very welcome my friend! :)
Wish you the best.
You are very kind.
🤗
I saw Uriah Heep for 25p way back and just missed out on catching Ollies’s drum stick, the wizard is a class all time favourite leading on a to “magicians birthday “.
Time doesn't exist and we can feel this wonderful music playing in this moment.
I discovered this song in 10th grade 1981. It was like unearthing a rare stone. I was high and the art work on the album sleeve was affected by blacklight and the smell of incense and weed and this song. I always think of that when I hear this. A really cool time to be a teenager. The 80's were a lot different than today. I'd go back.
Brings back memories from 50 years ago. This track has a huge sound, rich and full. Awesome
What a Fantastic song. 👍
Nobody harmonized like Uriah Heep!
Three dog night and the beatles were pretty good
I haven't listened to these guys in forever
A brilliant band...would have liked to see them live when i was a young lad...nevermind thanks you tube i can visit concerts everyday
I did.cleveland I think 73. and those really were the days.
I saw them in Lake Geneva, WI in 1973. I was the perfect age..17. Remember like it was yesterday..come to think of it..maybe it was.
My favorite song from my all time favorite band 🤩
One of the Godfathers of Metal. And I saw them with Black Sabbath in 1972, Dayton Ohio, And I think the tickets were like $6.50.
Both in their prime then.
Hi!!/Salut!! when I'm talking about Uriah Heep, I'm talking about the "Dream Team" back in the 60's and 70's but, I don't know Uriah Heep after the departure of David Byron. So, you write Godfathers of metal.......to me, it's impossible cause Uriah Heep play only one "kind" of music.......it's not rock,metal,or any kind of music that I know before the 1st time I see them in concert back in 1972. To me, Uriah Heep well, they play URIAH HEEP music and nothing else. Don't get me wrong, cause I have nothing again the group after the Byron-Thain era, but, I never been the same since Jan. 20 1972. then 1974(with Savoy Brown) and again in 1977 or 78 for the ultimate concert: Uriah Heep & Jethro Tull. The U.H. sound maybe metal for some but, to me it's a unique sound. Have a good day....from Montréal
Всегда ставлю лайк, always like!!! Heep Forever!!!
Saw them live in 1973 at LSU, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Still own this vinyl and enjoy hearing this album 50 years after it was released.
75' in Madison, WI
Now this is the music i growed up to what a Wonderful Rocktober Morning (July has gone) but Rocktober is just as appeasing!!!
当時ジャケ買いしたけど、お気に入りのアルバム。懐かしいな❤️
❤
An Aboriginal man named Prairie Chicken taught me how to play this song on guitar, I knew 4 chords I never forgot this tune and I play it all the time!
Thanks Prairie Chicken ! 🎸
Bought this album in 1973 and have listened to it and sang along all these years and the sound is just as beautiful as the day I first heard it!
THIS IS MUSIC!! Love it!!
Реально 50 лет! Наша молодость! Каждый раз когда их слушаю вспоминаю юность. Снимаю шляпу! Молодцы!
Right on !!! 😎
Wet behind the ears, 2 months past my 18th birthday and stationed in Germany as a tanker with the US Army, I picked up this album at a shop just outside the front gates of Ayers Kassern in Kirch Goens.
Absolutely loved it.
