Rainbow -Spotlight Kid

This song is from album Difficult to Cure 1981. This is very good song, and I think this is best quality in Youtube of that song.

Lyrics:

You don't know what's happening, you want to go home
but there's nowhere to hide
you walk out on stage, your first time alone
the crowd's going wild
and you feel so alive
you could stand up and take this all night
they love you but you're in love with the spotlight
you're the spotlight kid

Jokers and women they hang 'round your door
they're all part of the scene
just like a junkie you've got to have more
it's a pleasure machine
and you fly every night
but the dressing room mirror don't lie
they love you but you're in love with the spotlight
you're the spotlight kid

Your audience died, faded away
leaving you on the stage
it's been so many years since that first matinee
it seems like an age
encore one more time

for the ghosts of the past in your mind
they love you but you're in love with the spotlight
you're the spotlight kid
you're living in a dream
you're the spotlight kid
you're in love with the spotlight

One of the best songs ever

This guy used to live in a building-basement; a friend of mine and I used to go there and enjoy some heavy rock like Rainbow, Purple, Zep, Stones, !!!

This has always been my favourite Rainbow song.

And this riff has been copied quite a lot. Check out Jet to Jet, 30 days Speed Shred, and From Hell With Love. And I bet there are more copies.

But Ritchie can't really complain because he stole quite a few riffs over the years, such as Black Night, Lazy and even the Woody Woodpecker theme (Wring That Neck).

In my opinion Rainbow were at their peak with Rising and LL R&R; however, this particular track shows them gelling as a band, and it's pretty damn good music.

懐かしいですね。

このアルバム、日本ではそれなりに、ヒットしませんでしたっけ？

「アイ・サレンダー」という、タイトルのアルバム名で、発売され­てましたよね。

カセットテープに録音して（カセットウォークマンかな）、良く、­聞いてましたね。

Rainbow is the probably THE most under-rated rock band ever

[MrMaximililano]

@muurtalo Well, nothing is 100% quality. I would tho enjoy some magical Bach-esque Lordism at that moment.

[Dekida]

This guitar solo is amazing!!!!

Long live rock and roll!!!

[KseniaZikina]
