    Interesting interpretation of the lyrics. According to Ian Gillan (the singer), "It’s just an example, for example, if you think of the phrase 'if a blind man cries' then it's pretty sad, those who are disadvantaged tend to be less complaining than those who are able-bodied." And seeing how emotional you got it's probably good you reacted to this live performance rather than the original studio version, which is far more powerful IMHO.

    Thank you for doing this reaction to what is a very important song for me. As with many blues/rock songs the words leave enough room for the listener ti interpret them to fit their story. For you it was drunk driving for me it was my own emotional blindness and lack of self awareness. The key point is the same - being trapped inside your own emotions and being unable to convey those feelings or in my case even understand them.
    Good job and keep up the good work

    How fortunate that I found you and your orohect at this time. I watched the Fade to Black reaction. Simply amazing.
    Ive struggled all my life with depression amd addiction, with all the side affects associated with those two diseases Last two years been extremely rough.
    This song is me. I had my dog stolen by a guy who refused to give her back while watching her til I found a new home for her and I, after moving from my Ex. It was her friend. And she said it wasnt her problem and wouldn't help me to get her back.
    Im that blind man atruggling to get out unfortunately. Been a really long two years of tears, disassociation, and hospitalization.
    Thank you so much for being here for all of us.❤

  • @dag9336
    @dag9336 3 года назад +2

    The way I interpret this song is just … plain depression. Being blind to happiness or anything positive in life. “If you’re leaving close the door -not expecting people anymore” you distance yourself from everybody, he’s probably saying goodbye to the last person who was around him…then you become numb, hence “wether drunk or dead…” -“when a blind man (blind to happiness) cries there’s no sadder tale” there’s no more hope. Then eventually the death of someone close, someone in a similar situation, gives him “a reason for the things we had to do”… therefore the songs gets more “energetic” and intense…that’s just my take. Sending lots of virtual hugs from a fellow struggler .

    Ian Gillan, the singer on this, had a colourful relationship with alcohol. Once, in a bender in the early 1980s, he accidentally joined another band. The first he heard about it was when his agent called to ask why he hadn't been consulted before Ian became a full member of Black Sabbath.
    Ian hadn't even known he'd agreed to that, but he was a man of his word, and he liked the guys in Sabbath, so he did an album and tour with them in 1983.

    Great reaction as always. Like someone said in another comment, the singer said that disable people complain less, so when a blind man cries is because something really bad happened. But like you said, what's beautiful about music is you can have as many interpretations as people are in the world. I always thought about this song that the worst kind of blind is the one that don't want to see. Sometimes you are in a self-destructive path with self-destructive attitudes, or in a unhealthy relationship, or you insist on doing something that clearly is not good for you even when you know it's not good, even when you know you're hurting your self, wether you realize how much pain you're going through or your loved ones keep asking you to stop, you keep doing it, you just can't accept the truth until finally there's a moment of illumination, an epiphany. Sometimes you stop just in time... but sometimes is too late.

    When a Blind Man Cries
    Deep Purple
    If you're leaving close the door
    I'm not expecting people anymore
    Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
    Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure
    I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale
    When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale
    Had a friend once in a room
    Had a good time but it ended much too soon
    In a cold month in that room
    We found a reason for the things we had to do
    I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold
    When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul

  • @elgatofelix8917
    @elgatofelix8917 3 года назад

    Thanks for this video Amanda. Deep Purple is one of my favorite bands, and you're correct - they could be considered a "vintage" group - the late 1960s to about the mid 1970s is when they were considered to be in their prime. You just watched a more recent incarnation of the band, and while Ian Gillian still sings quite well, his voice was astonishingly powerful in the 1970s. Deep Purple is perhaps best known for their songs "Smoke on the Water" and" Highway Star" from their *Machine Head* album, which are considered seminal classics of the heavy metal genre, and in their earliest incarnation was steeped in the groovy psychedelic sound that permeated the 1960s. I highly recommend listening to their songs "Child in Time" "Hush" and "Storm Bringer". I recommend hearing the studio versions of those songs before checking out the live versions. Those are 3 of their best songs that all feature different singers (Deep Purple had many different personnel changes throughout their long history).

    A lesson to all who struggle with things not turning out how you wish it to be. For any wish, there are thousands of ways to make it a NO, but always a way to make it a YES. Don't search for a NO, search for that YES. Keep knocking on doors, if it's a NO, it wasn't the door you were searching for. That door that is a YES is still there to be found.

  • @darthsteeler9

    Deep Purple rules! I consider them as one of the three bands to invent heavy metal (along with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin). I've always considered this song as one of their saddest.

  • @corinna007
    @corinna007 3 года назад

    I would recommend (again) maybe listening to one/both of I mentioned yesterday, by JP Leppäluoto, even though they aren't in English (but you can find translations online). The first one "Piilevää pimeää", is about the time in his life when he was struggling, according to him, was originally going to be recorded with one of his previous bands, but he didn't feel like it was ready so he held onto it, and then 8 years later when he was writing for his solo album, he asked a friend to help him finish the lyrics. It's a simple song, really, but the words and the emotion in his voice are beautiful and heartbreaking. One of my favourite lines from the song translates as "Like a prisoner from their chains, I'm ready to be free."
    The second one, "Kuoppa", is also about his past, and his relationship with life, but is more about finding strength and pushing through. The translation of one of the lines is "I'd rather be with you at the end of my life, unhappy" (as opposed to ending it all).

    Amanda, please check out the song “Rise Above This” by Seether. The singer, Shaun Morgan’s brother committed suicide, and this is a song about Shaun trying to cope with it as he himself struggled with addiction. Shaun has also founded the Rise Above organization, and Rise Above Fest to help spread awareness.

    Hey bro, take it slow
    You ain't livin' in a video
    You're flying low with a high velocity
    No doubt, you're stressin' out
    That ain't what rock n' roll's about
    Get off that one way trip down lonely street
    Now I know you've been kicked around
    You ain't alone in this ugly town
    You stick a needle in your arm
    You bite the dust, you buy the farm
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    What ya tryin' to do
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid

    Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    C'mon girl, it's a better day
    Get your foot out of that grave
    Don't let that one love tear your world apart
    C'mon babe, kick that stuff
    Show the street it ain't so tough
    Quit lyin' around with a crippled, broken heart
    Now I know you've been seeing red
    Don't put a pistol to your head
    sometimes your answer's heaven sent
    Your way is so damn permanent
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    What ya tryin' to do
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    They win you lose
    Hey, hye, hey, hey, hey stoopid
    This ain't your daddy talkin'
    You know, I know
    Your story ain't so shocking
    You know, I know
    Blow some steam
    C'mon and scream
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey stoopid

    They win you lose

    If you want to see one beat ass guitar check out Dio - Man On The Silver Mountain Live In London 2005. Doug Aldridge's Fender Stratocaster looks like it fell into a wood chipper...and still rocks! BTW, Ronnie James Dio was one of the best metal vocalists ever... EVER! And a really nice and down to Earth person. He is also the one who invented the "metal fingers'... \m/ ... he said his Italian catholic grandmother used to do it give the evil eye or ward off someone giving the evil eye. Please check out this video, I promise you wont be disappointed. Your beautiful soul will thank me later. Also, the video Rainbow In The Dark (same venue - Live In London 2005) by Dio is also a really good song. Its a sort of life affirming message to anyone who feels lost or left out. Doug Aldridge is a playing a Gibson Les Paul "Gold Top" in this one. My preferred guitar of choice for any genre of music. Looks good at a Metal show and looks good in the church choir.
