Uriah Heep - Paradise

From Demons And Wizards (1972). Fantastic album. One of the greatest albums in 70's.

Lyrics:

I feel you trying
Though in my heart
I know you're lying
And though your love
For me is dying
I see you crying

It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul

I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope
Until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on

But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind

What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky

Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go

I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was merely commenting that there are two voices in this song, and that Ken Hensley is singing the voice in the left speaker. I didn't mean to imply anything else. I know the "experts" are not very fond of David Byron, but I think he was the perfect vocalist for Uriah Heep, and I understand he was a great showman, though I didn't live to see him on stage. (Technically speaking Lawton was in a higher division, but he was not right for UH and not a great showman.

@fbendz I wouldn't say he's best for his capabilities, as for his music, that's a very unstable thing to make claims on, being all subjective and whatnot.

[fbendz]

@Reco4734 Actually voices. Ken Hensley and David Byron alternate in the end. The voice that comes from the left is Hensley.

[fbendz]

@33COOLMAN33 His name is Gary Thain, and I agree. He's probably the best bassist in the world, as one beer brand would put it. :-) Overall, the members of Uriah Heep are probably the most underrated musicians of all times. I mean, Ken Hensley, Gary Thain, Lee Kerslake, John Lawton, John Sloman and Trevor Bolder are/were all really great musicians fit for any top-ten-list.
